Even a man on the run can enjoy the thrill of the chase...
"I haven't laughed so much through a book in a long time. Deirdre Martin knows how to add spunk and life to characters in a way that is genuinely funny. A delightful story that will captivate the reader from beginning to end." Hiding from New York's Irish mob, Liam O'Brien is in Ireland working as a bartender in his parents' old village. Hurt once by a man, Aislinn McCafferty is the local ice queen, which the unsuspecting Liam soon learns the hard way. Accepting a wager from the pub's owner, Liam pursues Aislinn. But neither of them expects this donnybrook of the sexes to turn into an unlikely love... -Once Upon A Romance "Deirdre Martin's STRAIGHT UP is warm-hearted, the characters believable and it is an excellent read from start to finish." -Affaire de Coeur, Five Stars "Ms. Martin writes stories about real people in real relationships, which is refreshing in a world of fantastical plot set-ups and contrived conflicts." -All About Romance "STRAIGHT UP successfully weaves the perils of falling in love amongst the realities of life. Liam and Aislinn's relationship will tangle your heart with emotions!" -A Romance Review "Delightful...filled with Irish charm and dialogue... an excellent novel." -The Romance Readers Connection "In STRAIGHT UP, Deirdre Martin brings readers to the rural countryside of Ireland for an entertaining, jovial read that's sure to please." -Romance Reviews Today "STRAIGHT UP abounds with energy, Irish humor, a little melancholy but also plenty of love and happiness. Aislinn and Liam take a chance on love and it pays off in spades." -Romance Junkies "I absolutely and completely fell in love with Straight Up! I found Aislinn to be a courageous woman...Liam's growth from egotistical jerk to a man who falls in love was a beautiful sight to see. Ms. Martin continues to spin a web of Irish tale and romance with unique characters that have you wanting to visit Ireland... What an outstanding novel; one that will have you quickly turning pages and staying up late just to see what is in store for these two hot-tempered characters." -Coffee Time Romance & More, 5 Cups "An enjoyable romance...Deirdre Martin provides an amusing tale of love." - Genre Go Round Reviews |
