Some mistakes don’t deserve forgiveness. Lyse Sheppard planted the bomb that almost killed everyone close to her, including the man she loved. Now in hiding, she spends her days making amends the only way she knows how—using her genius computer skills to save women enslaved by the bastard who blackmailed her. And every night she punishes herself by watching the man she lost live his life without … man she lost live his life without her.
Fionn “Irish” McCullough can’t let go of the rage Lyse ignited the night she betrayed his team. Betrayed him. After months of searching, he’s no closer to finding his prey—until a mysterious message points him toward Ireland and a deadly threat against the only family he has left.
Caught in the twisted web of his past, Fionn must choose between revenge and keeping his mother safe. But the one weapon he needs—and the one touch he craves—may be the woman he can never forgive.

This series is always one that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is Fionn and Lyse’s story and what a story it is.
While Lyse has been in love with Fionn since she first saw him, he doesn’t know what he is feeling. He does know one of the feelings, it’s anger, because she set the bomb that almost killed him and his friends. He has to find her and bring her back to stand trial. And to find out why she did it.

This story is full of suspense, sexy and lots of emotion that will draw you in until the very end. I love Ella Sheridan, her writing style is one that keeps me coming back for more. And that cover is super hot too.
**I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**
This thrilling and edgy romance keeps readers on the edge of their seats as Lyse and Fionn work through some intense emotional turmoil while trying to stop a bad guy from destroying Fionn’s family. Fionn and Lyse are strong characters that compel readers to read their story and dare them to remain detached. This romance is full of emotional turmoil due to the past and a situation that has Fionn caught between wanting revenge and giving in to the magnetic attraction that burns between them. The emotions that flow from the pages are intense and the author does a great of portraying the characters and their feelings which makes it really easy for readers to get to know the characters and understand just what they are going through.
The plot has a steady to fast pace and flows smoothly from the pages with thrilling suspense as not only Lyse and Fionn try to work out their relationship but as they try to keep Fionn’s mother out of the clutches of an enemy with no scruples. The story can be read as a standalone novel and readers have no trouble getting the gist of what happened in Lyse and Fionn’s past but do miss out on the full details of that event also the author does a great of hinting at previous events and character interactions that readers are certain to be curious and want to know more.
Another exciting instalment in the Southern Nights series and this time it’s Fionn, the Irish man who enjoys his women and has a score to settle with another woman who literally blew his world apart. Lyse has been in hiding for months, settling overseas and making friends but she’s on a mission, her own mission and it involves Fionn’s mom. When Lyse gets Fionn’s attention back in the U.S. he comes barreling to Ireland to bring Lyse back to the U.S. to face justice but he isn’t prepared for the real reason she allowed herself to get caught. As they try to figure out how to protect his mom, Fionn finally opens his eyes and accepts what has been a long time coming with Lyse…will it be too late.
Oh my my my my what a read with a sweet slow burn between these two that kept me on edge from the beginning and the steam…fan time and glass of ice needed to cool down. I loved how both of them came to terms with everything and that there was no running away and hiding from the feelings, facing it head on and both growing up and maturing into the relationship.
There was suspense, some action and a mystery that is solved bringing answers to a question that had been missing for years. Not only that but the author, seamlessly, switches the narrative to an Irish accent when Fionn is featured, so much so I could hear Fionn’s voice and accent in my head like he was right there. The author doesn’t miss a step, the words and story flowing beautifully and showcases her talent for writing in this book.
She had been blackmailed into planting a bomb that almost killed all those she loved, including the only man she loved. Now she is trying to help other but hiding from him. He has finally found her but he needs to decide what to do. His only family is in danger. What will be do? Will he ever be able to forgive her? See if he can do both

His Acushla….
My heart went out to Lyse. The love she has had for years for Fionn was unreciprocated. He called her “batgirl” for heaven’s sake. He did not see past her intelligence and nerdiness to notice that she was a woman with feelings, emotions and most of all love for him.
Fionn has tunnel vision and all he can see when he looks at Lyse is betrayal. She put him and his team in peril when she planted a bomb that had devastating effects in the aftermath of it. He could not forget or forgive Lyse. Fionn did not know all the facts about why Lyse did this, nor did he bother to ask her. All he wanted to do was make her suffer for her deed. When he sees her after 2 months, he is angry but when he looks into Lyse’s eyes, really looks deep, everything changes between them.
Destroy Me has everything you could want in a book, suspense, action, danger and a sense that if you dig deep enough in the core of your being, you can find joy and love, even when it is staring you right in the face. The chemistry between this couple is captivating.
Lyse Sheppard cares about what happens to some people she’s really close to. Fionn McCullough is a very focused man. One seems like a powder keg and one a match. These are two emotional people at opposite sides of the spectrum – one thinks with their head and the other with their heart.
This is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seats. There are actually two stories going on here. We have the mystery and suspense of what this group is trying to solve and then we have what’s going on between Fionn and Lyse. My problem was which side of this book I liked better. I liked the way this group worked together to solve an issue that involved all of them. There a couple of times where I would have loved a chance to look over Lyse’s shoulder as she did what she was good at – it fascinated me. I also liked the building heat that was growing between Fionn and Lyse.
I had no trouble starting this series here. In no way did I feel lost or that I was missing something. The author was good in her job by creating characters that you will want to know more about. How did they come to be? Where is this group going? How many books do I need to catch up on? And then I have an ending where the heat with our couple was still building, so where do they go from there? Will I see them again? I guess I’ll just have to wait to find out.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Another great story in this series a story of two damaged people that come together and in doing so heal each other, a second chance for them. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
