REILLY'S GOLD, the second of the Irish Blessing series by Elizabeth Keys, continues with the middle brother's turn with an ancient psychic gift. The Irish Blessing, as it is called, was given by the Druids and consists of knowing when love arrives, however maddening or inopportune that knowledge might be. In 1858, Reilly Ship Works is threatened with financial ruin so the youngest brother, Devin Reilly sets out for the California gold fields to seek his fortune. As soon as Devin sets foot on American soil, however, his fortunes take a fortuitous, though alarming, turn. When a scuffle frightens the horses drawing a carriage, Devin leaps to the rescue, only to find his Blessing. Devin doesn't think he has the time for a "life altering event" now, but destiny takes a hand, proving that the unexpected may just be what Devin needs. A scandalous kiss alters his course as the woman's eyes reveal both laughter and promises, bringing him a feeling of having come home. So despite his obligations, Devin finds himself accompanying her home.Margaret Sylvia Worth Brownley only knew that Devin could "stop a speeding carriage and start the wild racing of her heart." While most men find the idea of a woman running a business completely scandalous, Devin finds Maggie's dreams for her future remarkable. Maggie's grandmother has run her lumber business for thirty years, and one day plans to hand the business into the safekeeping of her granddaughter. So when a letter comes informing Maggie of her grandmother's ill health, it's up to Devin to accompany her to Maine. Besides, Maggie's father has arranged an ill-fated marriage for his daughter, and nothing will dissuade him from his plans. The trip, however, allows both Devin and Maggie the opportunity to learn that love is more precious than gold.REILLY'S GOLD continues this fascinating series about love and an ancient gift. For a family of shipbuilders, it is quite amusing that Devin lacks sea legs. Additionally, the mentioning of the much beloved grandmother, both in the telling of the blessing and in the making of tea for the seasick, brings this unseen character to life preparing for her continued influence in the third novel. Furhter, this memorable cast of characters brings the Bostonian stuffiness and prejudice against the Irish vividly alive. With Elizabeth Key's talented pen, this novel is pure gold, coming very highly recommended.

God Bless The Irish!

Devin Reilly is the kind of man every woman needs, especially Maggie Brownley... even though she doesn't know it. Elizabeth Keys writes a steamy love line that kept me turning the pages. I loved every minute of this book. It had it all...a heroine who was quite strong and directed until her parents came into play (great villians I might add),making her once again feel like an inept child. Then came Devin Reilly...What more is there to say? A strong hero who's heart awakens his dreams. Can't wait for more from Ms. Keys!
