3.5 Stars - The fun continues in Proby's long running Seattle family series. This time adorable Irish lass Maeve meets her match with former fighter Hunter. He's moving to her island from the city and she sells him a house she loves. Pretty soon they're falling for each other and their families too. I felt like a few possibilities were left out there but overall a fabulous flirty little story.
Proby's at her best with this series somehow. And while all the stories are alike, they're all different enough to be entertaining. She hardly ever wastes a word or a scene but I admit I wanted a bit more out of this one. Maeve is working two jobs to support herself and buy a new home. Her family's pub is hopping the night that Hunter shows up. He's looking to relocate his wild teenage daughter since he's retiring from fighting. The sparks flew instantly between these two. And even though it took awhile for their relationship to really hit the fast track, both were sweet, considerate, and loyal.
This one didn't grab me at first. Hunter and Maeve didn't interest me all that much separately. Hunter's daughter Rachel took awhile to warm up to and he has some ex drama to deal with of course. Maeve was kind and strong but didn't have much going on besides her quirky relatives. But once these two got together, things really picked up. More than one storyline I think needed more time to devote to it on the flipside. Carla's new boyfriend who was Hunter's old rival of sorts. Maeve's creepy real estate client. The beautiful home Hunter purchased. Them living together, talking about marriage, etc. All of this I was craving more of and sad to see things wrapped up so quickly. Less than two hundred pages felt like get shorted. But at least, I didn't have to pay the sticker price and got a free library copy. But Proby is always a joy from the sweet to the steamy scenes. Overall, fans of the Seattle clan will love the addition of Maeve and Hunter. Plus, this wouldn't be a bad starting place or sample for a newcomer or someone just looking for a quick romance read.
