Dorien Kelly does it again!

HOT NIGHTS takes us back to the town Dorien Kelly created so vividly in LAST BRIDE IN BALLYMUIR, and what a triumphant return it is. This time we share the lives of Jenna, she who has brought Muir House back to life, and Dev, he who could steal away all she's worked so hard to create. Slowly, gently, and believably, these two work their way into each others lives and hearts.

Sparks flying

Sparks fly from more than bonfires in Ballymuir. Jenna Fahey fled her American family and worked to build a crumbling Irish manor into a fine restaurant. Dev Gilvane buried his Irish roots under finely tailored suits. Dev's after Jenna's home and after her heart. Jenna's after soaking his ambitions with the same determination she used to plunge his cell phone into her lobster tank.

Engaging relationship drama

Chicago blue blood Jenna Fahey relocated and opened up a restaurant in Ballymuir, Ireland in the historic Muir House that she hopes to own one day. After two years there renovating the place while serving meals, Jenny worries because London realtor Devlin Gilvane has arrived in town with plans for Muir House.Jenna needs an infusion of fast cash to buy Muir House before her rival does. Worse she feels attracted to the one person who could destroy her dream as he has the loot to make a bid for Muir House. However, though business wise he knows he should tender the proposal, his feelings for Jenna keeps him from completing his assignment.Anyone who peruses the opening line will be hooked to read this tale, the previous one (see THE LAST BRIDE IN BALLYMUIR), and the upcoming tale (hopefully starring the sister of the first novel's hero). The story line lives up to the fabulous opening as the audience obtains a fine contemporary romance starring two likable lead characters. The support cast is solid, but Jenna and Dev make the tale as their goals place them in opposition to the desires of their respective hearts.Harriet Klausner
