A Fiendishly Good Read

Brava for Diane Whiteside! (pun very much intended) Finally a Brava novel where unashamed sexuality meets a solid plot and complex characters. Of late Brava's offerings have been on the lighter side; many good in their own right, but somehow lacking the satisfying heft of a novel. THE IRISH DEVIL has no such weakness. Self-made William Donovan and gutsy belle Viola Ross burn up the pages. Not only that but their compelling conflict would make it a one-sitting read if you could hold still that long. (wink) One part Indiana Jones, one part Ann Rice's Prince Alexei, Donovan is every woman's fantasy. Strong and skilled in life. Capable, dedicated and determined. AND a master of the sensual arts. We often talk about a hero to die for...well, Donovan's one to live for. I say again: Brava, Miss Whiteside. You've written a fiendishly good erotic romance, and I can't wait for the next one.

Who likes it HOT?

Diane Whiteside is a wickedy fresh writing-phenom! New to the print world and an addition that will knock your proverbial socks off, leave you panting for more, and waiting with anticipation for her next offering like folks wait for Heinz Ketchup! Historicals aren't my gig per se, but the cover and the blurb on this bad boy blew me away, so I grabbed a copy for some eye candy and maybe some boring historical facts, with a smattering of romance. Color me WRONG! From page one, where William awakens high on testosterone--to his deep introspection that Ms. Whiteside threads throughout the novel and his love of Viloa--I was, to say the least, enraptured! Their romance is a slow simmering pot of sweet, tender, hard, fast emotion, that took my breath away and left me weak in the knees and unable to stop reading until every last, delicious morsel filled page was complete! Diane Whiteside has dragged this contemporary broad back to the past and hungrily awaiting the next finger she puts to the keyboard! Connie "Dakota Cassidy"

Refreshing change

It's been a while since I last read a Western historical romance. I'd read so many, I got burnt out on the period. The Irish Devil is a refreshing change with nary a cowboy or hardass gunslinger in sight. The historical accuracy was terrific and William Donovan just swept me away. If you like your historical romances steamy with capable heroines and dashing (but not overbearing) heroes, buy this book!

Found another great author for my auto buy list!!

I had never had the pleasure of reading any of Diane Whiteside's ebooks so she was pretty much an unknown to me. Several people recommended this book to me so I bought it without even knowing the storyline. I'm so glad that I did. I enjoyed it so much that I immdiately went to find her ebooks and purchased them. I love finding new authors and I'll be waiting for Diane Whiteside's next book!!

A sizzling Western Read

Diane Whiteside has written a hot gem, featuring sizzling sex and the kind of deliciously dominant hero to make any romance reader sigh. The Arizona frontier is unforgiving, with its heat, mine cave-ins, and Indian attacks, but Viola Ross is determined to survive, even after her husband is murdered. But when his ruthless killer tries to blackmail her into marriage, she has no choice except to seek the protection of William Donovan, a hot-blooded Irish businessman. Donovan is a master of the erotic arts with a taste for dominance, and Viola quickly finds him everything she's ever longed for in a man. For his part, Donovan never dared dream a woman like Viola would want anything to do with an Irishman. He's delighted to show Viola a world of erotic pleasure as the two slowly fall in love. But as the murderous Lennox seeks revenge, can Donovan protect his new lover? If you want delicious sensuality, wonderful characters and a well-researchered, action-packed plot, Diane Whiteside is the writer for you!
