4.0 out of 5 stars Scintillating -- Highly recommended, September 1, 2001

This review is from: Mighty Quinns: Conor (The Mighty Quinns) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

Conor learned the lesson well at his father's knee: "Love for a woman is the only thing that can bring a Mighty Quinn down." Believing that women are trouble, Conor guards his heart carefully. Working vice for the Boston Police Department, Conor strives to make life safe for others. He's gone from taking care of his brothers to taking care of the city. Now he's been assigned the boring assignment of taking care of a witness. With just one look at his witness, however, Conor comes to believe that his father's warnings are true.

Olivia Farrell had never done anything more illegal than fudging numbers on her tax return or surpassing a speed limit. She had been Boston's most successful antiques dealer. Too bad she didn't realize that her partner's bottomless wallet came from underworld connections. Now her business records have been impounded, her past scrutinized, her partner jailed, and her reputation hangs in tatters. Worse, a man wants her dead because she is a material witness in a murder and money laundering trial. She hates being vulnerable and dependent on someone else for help. Placed in a safe house, she dreams of the day she can get her life back. A leak in the department forces Conor and Olivia to run.

Somewhere along the way, Conor needs to find a purpose in protecting others again, and Olivia needs to feel in control of her life. The resulting conflict reveals author Kate Hoffmann has a flair for portraying the path back from disillusionment. THE MIGHTY QUINNS: CONOR. This first installation of a new miniseries boldly creates a dangerous world of murder, presenting strong conflict and terrific characterizations. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Irishman with a Desire, September 29, 2001

By 

Kelley O. (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mighty Quinns: Conor (The Mighty Quinns) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

Kate Hoffman captures the essence of a sexy Irishman in America. Conor was not looking for someone when he was ordered to keep an eyewitness safe. He kept remembering what his Da told him, "The only thing that can bring a Mighty Quinn down is a woman...". One look at his beautiful witness and he becomes distracted. Between hired hit men, a possible department leak, and a sexy witness, he forgets what he's been taught. Olivia just wants her life back and doesn't want to be a captive. Enjoyable fireworks. I can't wait to read about the next Mighty Quinn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read., December 22, 2004

This review is from: Mighty Quinns: Conor (The Mighty Quinns) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

Conor, the eldest of 6 bought his brothers up after their mother left them with their dad. Years later while working, he is assigned to protecting Olivia, a witness in a trial. As the pair are chased by criminals out to kill them, they sucumb to their feelings. This is something Conor has never felt, not having had a female influence in his life.

I can't wait to read the other brothers stories (Dylan, Brendan, Liam, Brian & Sean). They are a fantastic family.
