Customer Reviews

One of my favorite Keeper Books!

To Marry an Irish Rogue was my first Lisa Hendrix book and I loved it so much, she immediately became a must-buy author for me! The author creates such vivid, likable characters and weaves the main romance with the secondary romances so skillfully that I felt drawn into every aspect of the story. Even the secondary characters felt like fully dimensional people without ever overpowering the hero and heroine.Very few books make my keeper shelf, and of those, I reread even fewer, but To Marry an Irish Rogue is one I not only keep close at hand, but revisit from time to time.

This is what a book should be like!

For me this was a perfect book, and I rarely say this. (-:It was my first book by Lisa Hendrix, and I won't stop here.The book was well balance, had a great sub characters and great environment. At times it was really funny, and had some great love scenes.The hero and the heroine had a great relationship. They meet, there is a spark, they try to resist it, but not too much. They are reasonable, and you feel like it could have really happen. No murder mystery here, just two people falling in love.

Top of the line for Irish Eyes

After reading all of the books in this new line from Jove, I find the only one that comes close to capturing the essence of Ireland is Ms Hendrix's book. It is bold in its inception and cunning in its delivery. She has done a wonderful job of creating Irish syntax making one feel as if they are right there in County Clare. The story doesn't disappoint with a collection of stories within a story sure to leave the reader well satisfied. It is exciting to find a new voice who has joined the ranks of Joann Ross and Nora Roberts in giving us an Ireland to love.

Tender, Sexy, Charming

The setting for this book, rural Ireland, is wonderful. Thedescriptions enable you to image the town, the people, thecountryside. Ms. Hendrix did a great job of portraying the warmth of the Irish people. The main charactes, Brian and Tara, are multifaceted. You feel the turmoil of Tara realizing that maybe Brian is not the greedy developer she wishes he was. Torn between writing the truth and misconceptions has Tara questioning her own emotional attraction to Brian. Brian as well must break down his misconceptions of all reports then Tara herself. Their romance is sensual, funny and warm. The townspeople are as captivating as Brian and Tara. My one peeve the proofreading (Brain instead of Brian). Overall, A GRAND BOOK. ENJOYABLE AND HEARTWARMING. END
