"Exhilarating paranormal romance within a classic-style romantic story line"
When her grandmother dies leaving her in debt, Bridget
Mulligan sees no hope for her son's well being until the
letter arrives from Ireland. She learns that her husband
Culley never abandoned her as she had thought for years,
but actually died in a car accident. His mother and sister
want her to come to Ireland to live with them though his
older brother Riley thinks she is a gold digger. Bridget and her son travel to Ireland where she feels the
nearby ruined castle calling her. Though her female in-
laws shower her with love, Riley treats her rather
shabbily. Still even though he does not fully believe that
Jacob is his nephew, he begins to act like an uncle towards
the lad. Neither one wants it, but soon Riley and Bridget
fall in love. However, chances of anything between them
are improbable as both savor the memory of Culley and he
remains doubtful about her motives. Finally there is the
family curse. Award winning Deb Stover provides her fans with an
exhilarating paranormal romance within a classic-style
romantic story line starring two souls who mistrust one
another while falling in love. Riley remains obstinate a
bit too long, but the audience will still cherish this
hunk. Bridget is a strong female protagonist doing what
needs to be done for the sake of her son. The support cast
supplements the plot by providing depth to the
personalities of the lead duet. With a strong cast, the
key to MULLIGAN STEW is the ability of Ms. Stover to
interweave her two subplots into one entertaining cohesive
tale. Harriet Klausner
