Book Description

Series: Irish Eyes | Publication Date: February 1, 2000

In 11th century Ireland lives an infamous warrior born of an Irish mother and a Viking father, a fierce and unforgiving soul known as the Irish Devil. For his services to the King of Ireland, Eric of Shanekill is promised a bride and given a choice of Lord William’s three daughters. None appeal to the mighty warrior… not until he meets Faith, the shunned daughter of Lord William.

Faith is as kind as she is beautiful. Shunned by her father and step-mother for having had the audacity to survive a vicious attack that left her with a telltale scar, she now gives to others what was once denied to her… a caring heart and a healing touch.

Can the beauty tame the devil or will he lead her into sin?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Day Cinderella, February 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Irish Devil (Irish Eyes) (Paperback)

The love every woman dreams of having for her very own is what this story is made of. It is excellent. A true love story. The hero is to die for and the heroine is precious. I loved it and would read it again and again. The hero has two loyal friends, one of which is his half brother. Both would die for him and his. There is a lovable dog to protect the heroine as her constant companion. Lord Eric protects Lady Faith at every turn and puts the people who hurt her in their place. He makes it clear he will not tolerate their behavior. It makes you want to find an Eric of your very own to protect you like he does Faith, the heroine. Lady Faith is a healer and all the people love her. They become her friends, trying to protect her from the ones that would do her harm. They rejoice when the devil takes her under his protection. Faith becomes especially close to one servant girl and they share a binding friendship. The story is warm and heart-rending. You can feel the love it radiates on every page. I didn't want it to end but I couldn't put it down. It is truly a wonderful read. If you don't put this one on your list to read, you will be denying yourself a treat of all times.

This review is from: The Irish Devil (Irish Eyes) (Paperback)

Donna Fletcher's first novel in the Irish Eyes series is captivating. The Irish Devil is the first title of this series. This one takes place in the Middle Ages. It's full of Celtic charm and passion. To me, it started out dark, but the closer the characters got to emotional freedom, the lighter and stronger the story became. I will give you fair warning that the passion is teasing and bold.

The story starts out with a servant telling the tale of the Irish Devil. He's a cold-hearted man who fights to the death on the battlefield. On this night, the tale is more frightening because The Irish Devil himself is about to appear at their doorstep to claim a bride from the callous family they work for. He will choose between the natural daughters of the Lord and Lady or the stepdaughter who has been disowned because of tragedy long ago. Once a choice has been made, the ride to a new life begins. Here in lies the heart of the story as these two learn to love and trust each other.

This is definitely a grand romance series to look out for. The next two installments of the series are TO MARRY AN IRISH ROGUE and DAUGHTER OF IRELAND
