The eldest Quinn son, Kellan, fell in love with his
first kiss at 15 with an elusive fairy. Years later,
Kellan's brothers Danny & Riley have each found the love of
their life, both American women. Kellan's work as an
architect keeps him traveling but he is now home in
Ballykirk, Ireland when he finds his "mermaid" washed up on
the beach. Pulling him down for a kiss before losing
consciousness, the other worldly looking woman is the most
beautiful Kellan has ever seen. The only recourse is to
carry her to his home and seek help.
Gelsey "Gigi" Woodson, aka the mermaid, has been
running from herself for years with her fast life fed by
too much money. Punching a photographer in the face while
in Italy has her facing an assault charge and possible
jail. With divorced parents, Gelsey's happiest moments
have been with her grandmother in Ireland. Her progressing
involvement with Kellan is dampened as she hides that she
is a tabloid princess and celebrity heiress who has been an
unhappy pawn between her parents. Her grandmother has died
and left a trust fund and her home Winterhill to Gelsey.
Five years as a party girl has Gelsey questioning her true
feelings for Kellan. Each is afraid that what they have
found is too good to be true and fires their struggle in
declaring their love for each other. The mind blowing sex
alone isn't enough to persuade them it's a lasting
relationship.
I absolutely love this series, The Mighty Quinns.
Each brother has his own tale to tell and lesson to learn
about love. Kellan might be my favorite of the three.
This was such an interesting and moving story of two people
destined for each other from childhood. I feel in love the
magic of Kellan as he is a man all women dream of
possessing. Gelsey is a lost little girl finding her true
self. The only fall back to this story is that it's far
too short! Kate Hoffman is such a talented writer who has
a way with words to keep you on your toes and absolutely
craving the next word; all set in beautiful Ireland.
The woman lying unconscious on the Irish shore near Ballykirk can't possibly be a mermaid...can she? Still, architect Kellan Quinn wastes no time saving her life. And soon she's recovering in his home—setting his fantasies ablaze in his bed! But heiress Gelsey Woods is no mermaid. Instead, she's hiding from the mess she's made of her life so far. And something about Kellan—and Ballykirk—feels like home, especially during the holidays. Unfortunately, Gelsey's past is catching up with her quickly. And her only Christmas wish is that Kellan will still love his gift from the sea once he learns the truth....
