5.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs Up for this Keeper 13 Sep 2000
By Barbara O'Neill - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Once in a while, one picks up a book and when all is said and done, they know they've read one of the year's best. For me, "Daughter of Ireland", is that book. I've been an avid fan of cozy mystery writer, G.A. McKevett, so when I discovered she'd written a contemproary romance under the name Sonja Massie, I was thrilled to have yet another one of her stories to enjoy.

Set in New York City and Gormloch, Ireland, "Daughter of Ireland" is an exquisitely crafted tale of two strong-willed people, each entrenched in their own beliefs and neither willing to give an inch. At least, not at first. Moya Mahoney and Rory O'Brien find themselves at odds over the pub and land left to Rory by his uncle, which happens to be the only real home Moya had ever known. Rory sees this as an opportunity to not only expand his corporate empire, but to bring jobs and security to the townspeople. Moya sees it as a total destruction of everything she has ever known, loved and holds dear.

Sonja Massie has created a totally believable story with two lead characters who had me laughing at times, while at other times pulled hard on my heart, for both Rory and Moya had had less than happy starts in life. How they manage to compromise over their feelings of distrust and turn them into feeling of true love and passion that will last a lifetime is a story that must be experienced.

Ms. Massie's portrayal of rural Ireland and its people was neither overdone nor glossed over. Her vivid characterization had me expecting Rory and Moya to step from the pages at anytime. I only wish Ms. Massie had more romantic stories on backlist. For now, "Daughter of Ireland" is headed for my keeper shelf and I can't recommend it highly enough.

For those who would like to read more by this author, I recommend you look up the Savannah Reid mysteries, written under the name G.A. McKevett.

4.0 out of 5 stars Daughter of Ireland 13 July 2000
By Affaire de Coeur - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Rory O'Brien travels to the village of Gormloch in Ireland to pay his last respects to his deceased Uncle Angus. While tending to the O'Brien estate, he meets Moya Mahoney, a woman who took care of Angus in his final days. Though abrasive, Moya's demeanor is filled with humor and endearing qualities that will stay with him forever. His emotional involvement turns into more than a short-lived affair during a time of stress. Attempting to separate from Moya will be impossible... returning to his former life a sentence from Hell. Massie writes realistic, well-researched romance with a literary tone typical of mainstream fiction. She sees to the hearts of her characters and motivates them with common sense goals. Her work is filled with Irish dialect and attention to ethnic details.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful series! 10 July 2000
By Brenda Weeaks - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Daughter of Ireland is the third title in Jove's Irish Eyes series. It's a shining new series with writers whose talents sparkle when they write about romance on the Emerald Isle. In this particular one, Moya Mahoney has just lost a kind elderly gentleman who took her in when all her relatives died. She is alone again... that is until American Rory O'Brien shows up at her door looking like a soaked rat. Moya lives for being Irish, she wants to continue the tradition of sharing Irish tales, and keeping the village in the quaint, quiet life that it is. Guess who is trying to go forward with some modern ideas for her life and village? You got it, Rory. Rory has his reasons for wanting to update the small town, and I won't go in to them because I don't want to spoil the story. The situation and closeness of these two of course leads to a mutual attraction and I was impressed by how the author handled it. It's a sweet romance, that is light on intimacy, heavy on characters and backdrop; an A plus in my book. Daughter of Ireland, along with The Irish Devil and To Marry an Irish Rogue so far make up the tempting, romantic Irish Eyes Series!
