Product Description
"Steeped in the age-old beauty and traditions of Ireland, Dorien Kelly's enchanting contemporary novel transports readers to a picturesque Irish village where passions run deep...."
Miss Kylie "Soon-to-Be-a-Saint" O'Shea teaches at the Gaelic school, helps her neighbors and volunteers for every good cause. No one in Ballymuir can figure out why she keeps the interested lads at bay but they all warn her that she's in danger of fulfilling a local legend: becoming the last bride in Ballymuir. When a stranger named Michael Kilbride comes to the village wild rumors surround his every move. But Kylie, captivated by Michael's intense passions, lets herself go where Michael leads her -- into an awakening of dreams and desires...even if it means exposing her beloved village's and her own darkest secrets.

What a wonderful novel!, 26 April 2003
By deefossen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Bride in Ballymuir (Mass Market Paperback)
Dorien Kelly has created a beautifully written story that's so rich with detail I could practically smell the Irish tea. However, the richness in detail doesn't overshadow Kylie and Michael's love story. These opposites do more than just attract--they sizzle and practically jump right off the pages. This book has it all. Old secrets, old wounds and a tender story about healing and moving on. There are also some interesting secondary characters, including Michael's sister, Vi. I can't wait for her story.

Dorien Kelly has an Irish gift for storytelling..., 26 May 2003
By Holly Fuhrmann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Bride in Ballymuir (Mass Market Paperback)
...and the Last Bride in Ballymuir is a fine example of just what a gift it is. A rich, warm story of healing old wounds, of what it is to be a family...of love. Both Kylie O'Shea and Michael Killbride have painful pasts. Together they learn to put them aside and look to a future...a future that holds a true and everlasting sort of love.A great read by a gifted storyteller.

Delightful Tale, 29 Mar 2003
By Barbara Lynn Caputo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Bride in Ballymuir (Mass Market Paperback)
Michael's the baddest of the bad and Kylie's too good to be real - at least that's what it looks like in the beginning. Wrong as they know they are for each other, they can't help the attraction. Softly, as looking through the mists of Ireland, Dorien Kelly shows Michael and Kylie discovering qualities in each other, and in themselves, that no one else in Ballymuir sees.
