REILLY'S PRIDE, the third of the Irish Blessing series by Elizabeth Keys, completes the stories of the three brothers united by an ancient psychic gift. The Irish Blessing, as it is called, consists of knowing when love arrives, however terrible the responsibility that goes with it. Captain Quintin Reilly, the eldest Reilly brother, gives up the sea after eight years to come home to try to salvage Reilly Ship Works. Quintin forsakes the scent of adventure for the responsibility of not only his own family but also those who depend upon the shipyard for their livelihood. Past pain has left Quntin's heart numb until his kisses his wife when they marry. Then suddenly a heat rolls through him, carrying the promise of The Blessing in all its raw power. Her father successfully married Siannon Rhodes to Percival Crofton, a man with cold, cruel hands many years her senior. Her father gained connections and a hefty bride price for his daughter. Siannon gained a cold marriage and a son. Now widowed, Siannon must marry again quickly or become the pawn of her father yet again. So Siannon boldly proposes a marriage to her childhood friend Quintin, seeking to protect her son and herself from her father's manipulations. Fascinatingly, Siannon carries her own psychic blessings, having the ability to sense emotion -- at least in those not too close to her. Unfortunately, she can't read Quintin's emotions, which often leaves her feeling bereft. Proudly, she bears the pain even as she bore her father's abuse and cruelty. Yet it is that very gift that will bind them as tightly as Quintin's own gift.REILLY'S PRIDE by writing team Elizabeth Keys, the pseudonym for Susan C Stevenson and Mary Lou Frank, completes the stories of the Reilly brothers with grace and a touch of the paranormal. Once again the antihero is painted with a black brush, and there's no sympathy to be had for such a cruel man. Yet the complexity of the plot and motives of the characters keeps the novel moving at a fast clip, providing delightful entertainment. It's interesting to see the play of two psychic gifts, and the unique balance that they strike. Fans will delight to know that REILLY'S HEART, Meaghan Reilly's story, will be available in December 2001. REILLY'S PRIDE is another keeper! Very highly recommended.

Advance Review -- Best Book of the year!

I've read the first two books in Ms. Keys's Irish Blessing series and they more than whetted my appetite for the third. I knew Quin's story would be something special and I was NOT disappointed. Passionate and strong, Quin Reilly has come home to run the family shipyard for his father. As a man of the sea, this change does not come easily for Quin. Then he is called upon to rescue an old family friend, never expecting that little Siannon Rhodes is not the tag-along shy girl he remembers. What follows is a passionate tale that will sizzle your socks off!Reilly's Pride was worth the wait. Ms. Keys is a gifted storyteller whose words draw characters that will linger on in your mind long after you finish the book.
