Grace and Finn

Another great addition to the series! Finn was absolutely awesome in Fire Maidens: Portugal so I am so glad his story is available. Finn and Grace, who is a musician and mixed heritage (which I loved), reunite in Ireland after not seeing each other since they were children. Finn saved her from what could have been a bad accident. Now years later, the same thing happens and they recognize each other. Grace is in Ireland because she inherits a cottage from her uncle just outside of Ballyfianna. Finn is there with his family (he was in Portugal with his friend Marco in the previous book). He was previously in the French Foreign Legion.

Grace and Finn go on a date but end up helping out at the pub when it gets too busy for Annabel to handle by herself. In the pub, there is a magical harp that calls to her. A few days later, Grace wonders on to Reuben’s property. Reuben catches her and argues with her. She steps back too far and tumbles over the cliff. Finn sees this and is forced to shift in order to save her. He hadn’t told her that he was a shifter so this is the first time she knows of it and she panics. It frightened her so much that she was going to run back to the States but decided against it.

Then Finn’s nephew goes missing. The child wondered off and a search party is looking for him. Grace’s necklace led them to the child who was down in a well. The necklace also lit the way so Finn is able to rescue him and get himself back to the surface. It was so rainy that night that Grace invites Finn back to her home to dry off and warm up and things start to heat up.

A lot happens to Grace and Finn before they eventually get their happily ever after. There was also lots of suspense. Ms. Lowe writes great “edge of your seat” as well as romance scenes. Finn was awesome in this book too. He was so patient with Grace.

After Finn and Grace spend the night together and Finn leaves, Grace drives out to follow a rainbow. She ends up in the middle of trouble. Of course, Enzo Lombardi is his usual villainous self along with his goons. That man is nothing but trouble!

The Fire Maidens: Billionaires & Bodyguards is a great series and should not be missed! Each book is about a different couple and Fire Maiden but they tie in together. I love how in the book, you meet the hero for the next book. Also, the covers for these books are great!

Kelsey Osborne, as always, did a great job with the narration. It is always easy to tell if the speaker is male or female. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Fire Maidens: Ireland

Fire Maidens: Ireland is one heck of a story! Book five of the Billionaires and Bodyguards series, it's a fresh new perspective to the series. It has lots of intrigue, interesting characters, and a classic good vs. evil storyline! I loved all the history and relics combined with magic!

Grace has just inherited a cottage in Ireland from her uncle she visited as a child. Going back there brings back tons of great memories-especially ones of Finn. Finn saved her life one day while they were playing in the next door castle ruins and she has never forgot that nor him!

Finn is dumbfounded when the girl from his childhood shows up in Ballyfianna! What are the chances?? He's been searching for her and now it seems destiny has brought her to him.

But Ballyfianna isn't such a sleepy Irish village any longer. There is corruption afoot and the Guardians of Ireland are trying to figure everything out. When Grace arrives to see the cottage, she inadvertently sets off a bid for power from unscrupulous shifter clans that have been wreaking havoc across Europe!

I absolutely loved this book! The story had a different approach from the others in the series and I loved this different perspective! Grace and Finn knew each other and they already shared a bond of sorts, so their trust in one another was totally believable! I love how Anna weaves the story around the different shifters, their Fire Maiden, and magic! This is definitely worth the treat and is now a favorite of mine!

Another Favorite 💖💖💖

I keep saying that each book is a favorite, but it's true. Each location and couple is more fun than the previous. I was looking forward to this book and wasn't disappointed at all. It kept me engaged all day. I'm looking forward to the next installment. Ms. Osborne's performance has completely improved with each book and I look forward to listening to her.

I love Grace and her moxie! She was such a lovely and lively character. I loved that she was biracial and how it played into the story. Finn was adorable! Loved how he interacted with his nephews. His family was fabulous as well. I absolutely loved how the richness of family relationships played into this particular story. It's been a theme in all of Ms. Lowe's books, but this one just seemed to tip the scales a bit more for me.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audiobook. I also purchased the Kindle version.

Can destiny strike twice?

I have always loved listening to Anna Lowe's books but this one and hopefully the next will strike close to my personal favorites. I've always been a fan of Ireland and Scotland and seeing them show up in a great authors works really makes me appreciate her more.

Finn Hurley has returned home to help his family even though it pains him a bit to be there. He had both met and lost his mate as a child, so returning makes him remember that loss.

Grace has inherited a cottage in Ballyfianna. She has loved when her family had visited when she was a kid, and always had fond memories of another who had saved her life in the ruins.

The pair run into each other again at the ruins. Finn is surprised of finding his mate back in Ireland and wants to try to keep her there, however Grace has some more pressing concerns back in the states. Grace has been fantasizing about what Finn would look like being grown up, but her imagination is not up to par with Finn in reality. She regret that she will need to be back in the states soon, but hopes that they can enjoy each others company while she is here to deal with the cottage.

Will these two be able to find a way to make their relationship blossom, or will life matter tear them apart?

I loved listening to this book, and not just for the romance in the story. There is action with an imposing clan trying to take over Ballyfianna. Will the Lombardi's be able to finally gain a foothold in Europe, or will they be thwarted again? All sorts of secret lie in wait for Grace, will she be able to handle the truth when it is shown to her?

I did receive a free copy of this audiobook, and I am voluntarily leaving this review. I don't think you will be disappointed in picking up the book.

Great Book

I liked this book. I loved that Grace went back to Ireland and found her best friend from when she was younger. Finn was everything I could want in a mate. These two had a chemistry that I could only dream of having with when I find my mate.

Intense Story

This story started out quite differently than the other stories. First of all, Finn had met his mate when he was ten years old. After he finished his business in Ireland, he was going to America to find her. Surprise! His mate inherited a cottage from her uncle in Ireland & now Finn is her neighbor. This story is really intense, and the danger actually comes from one of their own. The action scenes are really intense and excitement building. Grace finds a magic of her own hidden in the caves of Ireland, changing her view of her entire world. The narrator in this series does not fail in her delivery, making the story that much more enjoyable.

Finn and Grace

Luck of the Irish. Grace has inherited a place in Ballyfianna, but not everyone is happy about this development. Grace has a love of Ireland and the cute boy who saved her life all those years ago.

Finn knows what it's like to have loved and lost, headed home to Ireland on leave, the last person he expects to find is Grace. Beautiful as ever, but destined to leave, Finn knows nothing ever comes easy, except loving Grace.

Full of action, traitors, and those wanting power, Fire Maidens Ireland is an excellent story that follows well within the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy provided by the author.

Old castles and a childhood love

Anna Lowe never fails to provide a great story. I just love the combination of old world and new coming together in this story. A day of fun as children leaves them wondering about what could have been. What happens when they meet again as adults?
