Publisher's Summary

Renner Caldwell has her life perfectly mapped out. She has the ideal relationship, the perfect job, and all is right in her world. When a shameful turn of events happens, she boards the first plane bound for Ireland to lick her wounds and get her head back on straight.

Cillian O'Braidagh is the sexy front man to the Irish rock band, Over The Edge. His rising fame and sultry voice make him every woman's fantasy come true. Not to mention his single-minded determination. To put it simply: what Cillian wants, Cillian always gets.

When You See Crazy Coming, Cross the Damn Street

This was an enticing romance that kept me listening and interested to the end. Who knew that a tattooed up, facial pierced Irish rock star could be so sexy, and dense. Cillian seemed to know everything about what Renner wanted and was completely clueless about his bandmate/former girlfriend. But he was awfully cute anyway. I love that even with everything Renner had to be insecure about, she didn't let that make her a jealous shrew. Love the chemistry between Cillian and Renner. The story fell in line with the others in the series.

The narration was good and the Irish accents, especially by Matthew Holland were easy to listen to and understand. Charlotte does a good job with the female voices and a passable Irish accent. I would listen to them narrate other books.

Definitely worth the credit. This is the the third book that I've read in the series and I am still looking forward to completing the series. Good job Sawyer Bennett.

Tired of women with no self respect.

I find I'm unable to read/listen to stories where the women don't respect themselves. Where in the real world do we find a person who experience what this heroin experiences in their first encounter still entertain the idea of being friends with someone like that. Especially when such person is nowhere near sorry.... I just can't!

That first trip to Ireland would map her life. . .

Renner Caldwell loved her graduation gift of a trip to Ireland and family. She enjoyed it even more when she meets Cillian O’Bradaigh. The sexy, young, Irish rocker was every young girls dream. He kissed her like there was nothing else in the world. Then he just as easily walked away from her and picked up with another. This turns Renner in to a more logically thinking young woman. Years later she returns to Ireland and the path of Cillian.

There was depth to Cillian. He was a man that had a whole story behind him and maybe guiding him. The direction of this guidance may turn out to be hazardous to his future. This was well written and gave some intriguing characters both secondary and main.

Narrator Charlotte and Matthew brings the whole cast to life. Giving them depth and perception. The accent of the Irish land was just beautiful. The cadence and pitch well worth the listen. The audio was smooth and clear.

I can't tolerate weak women! This 1's a doormat!

Mutual domination & submission is one thing but zero lack of respect from a man and for yourself is sickening. I couldn't finish the book for fear I was going to smash my phone listening to another word from this pathetic excuse for a modern woman or the misogynist male piece of pooh. Everybody has problems that doesn't give you carte blanche to need someone to dominate you... Nope! Grow a spine!

Loved it

I loved this book couldn't put it down. When Renner was 17 she spend the summer in Ireland with her uncle and his family. There she met Cillian a rock star and a friend of the family. Now older and after a bad relationship that cost her her job she returned to Ireland where she sees Cillian again but she doesn't want anything to do with him but he won't take no for an answer. Cillian's friend and band mate Maeve will do anything to break Cillian and Renner up because she wants him back.

Good Story but Wanted More Steamy Scenes

Listened to the audio version. The narrators did a great job. Rockstar romance that is part of a series. This is a standalone and my first read of this series, and I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by not reading the first two books. Most of the book takes place in Ireland, so of course there are Irish accents. My only really issue with the story is the author starts some really steamy sexy times which get cut off before they get really good.

Needs some work.

Please learn the difference between “I couldn’t care less” and “I could care less”

This is the second book in this series I’ve listened to where it’s been used incorrectly.

great story

I always love the romance story to have a bit of a bite and this does. Renner's voice was a little childish but it worked. Overall I liked it

Alcohol Addiction Recovery Ignorance?

This story is really about how everyone around an alcoholic enables their bad behavior thinking they are helping......was this meant to be written this way or is it ignorance of the author about how addiction and recovery works?

I hated the hero

Too much drama, I didn't like the hero and the heroine wasn't too likeable as well

We're Irish, not leprechauns...

Sorry to say i didn't enjoy this book as much as the first few books. I'm from Ireland, donegal to be precise and I think the Irish accent was just cringe. The Irish in the book are basically how you'd imagine leprechauns to sound, we Irish do not talk like that. Nothing against the narrators or authors. I really enjoyed the story overall but the accent was just a big NO from me.

Great story

Loved this book loved that most of it was set in Dublin narrative was really good read all books in the series but this one was my favourite

Killian and Renner story

Though both narrators usually excellent the female Irish accent was a bit cringeworthy - still loved the book though!

Held my interest.

I really enjoyed this book. The writing was great, story flowed and the characters were real and story held my interest.

3.5 Stars

Not my favourite book in the series, however it was still enjoyable and of course beautifully written. I had trouble connecting with Renner and Cillian and I found I wasn't as invested in their story. I got a little wound up with how Cillian handled Maeve.
All that said the chemistry when they got together was palpable and I loved Cillian's take charge attitude and the fact that unless it was in the bedroom, Renner didn't bend to his demands. Looking forward to reading Flynn's story.
