REVIEW

"A quest grounded in love, honor and commitment"

REILEY'S LAW is the first of Zebra's Ballad Romance Line. My personal feeling is that a "true" romantic story is where the hero and heroine work together and REILLY'S LAW is a true romance. The story keeps your attention from the prolog until the ending. 

Emilynne is desperately fleeing England to protect her brother's children. When Emilynne throws herself in Bryan's arms, he discovers the Reilly Blessing is much more than the child's tale he had remembers from his grandmother. The road to true love is not smooth, and as events unfold, Bryan often questions if he has chosen the blessing as he thought or the curse. He must choose between family commitments and honoring the promises he made Emilynne. Along the way to England and then back to Irish court, Emilynne is asked to trust Bryan with the fate of the children which is more difficult than trusting him with her own fate and love. 

The author keeps you attention with a well-written tale of two people fulfilling a quest grounded in love, honor and commitment. An interesting story with no need for gimmicks or complicated twists, although that is not to say there are not surprise events to add spice. The Reilly family legacy of BLESSING OR CURSE adds a touch of destiny to the love between Emilynne and Bryan Reilly but does not overshadow their own choices in determining their own futures. 

I am looking forward to reading his brother's stories in REILLY'S GOLD and REILLY'S PRIDE.

SUMMARY

A skeptical lawyer must learn to trust his own heart.

MEANT FOR EACH OTHER

A straight-laced solicitor, Bryan Reilly refuses to believe that members of his estranged family of shipbuilders possess a special gift -- the ability to recognize life's great turning points. But then a mysterious woman throws herself into his arms just before his ship sails for England and Bryan feels the power of "Reilly's Blessing" reborn in her bewitching lips.

Emilynne Wellesley will only reveal that she is desperate to flee Ireland for the safety of the two children who travel with her. Bryan knows that helping Emilynne will ruin his last chance to reconcile with his kin, but can he deny the path that destiny has chosen for him -- protecting the golden-haired beauty who has captured his heart?
