Gareth Whelan is pissed he’s in the states while his brother and friends are celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day without him. For years,that was their holiday, the one that they always spent together. Now he’s in America on business and they’re taunting him from across the pond. Gareth decides to grab a pint in a quiet Irish pub, hoping that a Guinness will make him feel less homesick. No one … prepared him for how he’d feel when he met the woman he wasn’t looking for.
Caitlin Shepherd works as a bartender in her uncle’s pub. She doesn’t know what she wants out of life, and ever since her parents and sister died, she hasn’t felt whole. That is until a brooding man with a strong Irish accent walks in and sits at her bar with a look that
fills her with promises she didn’t know she needed.

Once again, we were provided with a hot as heck story, with some emotional moments, sexy moments, intense and believable chemistry between the main characters, the grumpy sexy alpha, Gareth and the sweet yet feisty heroine, Caitlin, some angst, little drama, steamy and passionate intimate scenes 😉 , a family reunion between brothers and new sisters in laws, and a happily ever after <3
A great start to a what's looking to become an awesome series and I can't wait for the next stories of Gareth's brothers! 🙂
Hot Holy Irishmen. Gareth is the man after my own heart. These Whelan brothers fall hard and fast. Sweet romance that you are sure to love. And as always Elisa Leigh brings us another hot romance.
This is a short,sweet, steamy insta-love book. The chemistry is off the charts with Gareth and Caitlyn. Gareth is a bit gruff and grumpy but still the loveable alpha. I loved how long the epilogues were and that they covered a large span of time.
I knew I was going to love this book the second I new it existed. I mean come on… one of my favorite authors, insta love and an Irishman?! It can’t be anything other then amazing.
Though I loved the entire book, the beginning was my favorite. There is just something about the first meeting between fun characters that create that instant love; I just can’t seem to get enough of.
This author knows how to write and she has found her groove, this might be (and this is a difficult statement to make) my favorite story from her! Total swoon worthy and IRISH!! Lol. I would love the brother’s stories if the author is so inclined…
Gareth sees Caitlin working at her uncle’s pub & immediately makes it his mission to claim her. Innocent, curvy Caitlin doesn’t know what to make of grumpy, rough around the edges Gareth. She has yet to realize that what a Whelan man wants, he gets. This was another great, insta-love, quick read full of steamy scenes. Looking forward to her next book!
I absolutely loved this book. Elisa is becoming one of my favorite authors. Low on the drama, high on the heat, this book will indulge all of your book favorites. Can’t wait to read more
This book was a great start to the Whelan brothers books and I seriously need the next book like yesterday. Caitlin knows what real pain is because she lost her parents and sister in and accident and has fell like she doesn’t really belong in her uncles home. Gareth is in the country for business but as soon as he sees Caitlin he knows she’s his soulmate. He does everything in his power to make her his and keep her even if it means taking her with him. Cailtlin knows things are moving quickly. It when it comes to matters of the heart you have to do whatever you le heart wants. Totally safe book with amazing characters!! I can never get enough of this author
Grumpy Gareth Whelan is stuck in the States when he would rather be back home in Ireland for St Patrick’s. His driver takes him to a real Irish pub and that is where he lays eyes on Caitlin. Now he won’t rest until she is by his side, forever. Caitlin has drifted through life ever since she had to move in with her aunt and uncle. She never really noticed guys until a cranky but gorgeous man comes in the pub and won’t take his eyes of her. There is no way a man like him is interested in her, right?
Elisa Leigh spun us quite a tale for St Patrick’s Day! Gareth is the definition of grumpy, bordering on surly. He softens when he meets Caitlin but he certainly isn’t perfect. Caitlin is quite stubborn, with reason but she comes around. The connection between them is sudden but doesn’t feel rushed. They both have found what they were looking for in each other. The epilogue is adorable and gives me all the feels. Every time I pick up one of Ms. Leigh’s books I know it will be a sweet, hot story that puts a smile on my face. The Irishman is no exception! 5 stars for Caitlin and Gareth!
Great Read! If you love an over the top alpha male hero who had kidnapped you for himself, than you’re going to love this book. This story is sweet, cute, and steamy, just what I needed
Review:
Got to love a possesive, OTT Irishman! This book was so good and I couldn’t put it down like the rest of this author’s books. Gareth knew what he wanted and stopped at nothing to get it. That was Caitlin. Plane ride included!
I also enjoyed the the whole plot. There was an angsty moment that made me feel for Caitlin so much…. and I absolutely loved it. I live for those angsty moments. Another great book and I highly recommend it
This is a good start to the Whelan brothers series. Gareth and Caitlin meet at the bar where Caitlin is working. Gareth comes off as a jerk but once he lays eyes on Caitlin it is love at first sight.
They leave the bar together but nothing happens between them. While Caitlin is sleeping Gareth “kidnaps” her and it is a little weird that she wouldn’t notice until the plane but I loved how the story Unraveled.
This is a cute love story and I love how Caitlin made Gareth work to win her love.
awesome read. When Grouch meets Stubborness. But however way they met; they made it work. Excellent read and not too steamy. definitely must read.
I absolutely loved this new release by Elisa Leigh! It’s a wonderful start to the series and I can’t wait to read more.
I’ve missed Elisa! So glad she’s back! This is just what you would expect from her. Chemistry is off the charts for Gareth and Caitlyn. Gareth is a bit gruff, but the use of the Irish and Gaelic language makes up for it. They hit a couple of bumpy spots and even slow down a bit, but end up with the eagerly awaited HEA! I loved the epilogues and that they covered a large span of time.
We meet Gareth and Caitlin in this first book of the Whelan Brothers series. I really enjoyed reading this.
