I loved all of the books in this series. The O’Neills are an intersting group. This book kept me involved to the very end.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
The Reckoning is book 6 in the O’Neil Family series by Kathryn Shay. This is about Kinley Moran, illegitimate son, billionaire and out for vengeance on the O’Neils and Jamie Ralston, single mom, waitress at Bailey’s Irish Pub looking for one goal and that is to become a teacher.
We get to catch up with the family, lots of twists and turns, tears, laughter and sometimes we find there’s more to life than we ever thought possible!
The Reckoning was a great way to wrap up the O’Neil family series. Kinley Moran has been harboring anger and resentment against the whole O’Neil family for many years. Kinley is the illegitimate child left behind by his father when his mother passed away. He has worked his whole life to be successful in order to ruin the family and the family business (Bailey’s Irish Pub) at some point. He didn’t plan on liking the siblings or falling for Jamie Ralston, a single mother that works at Bailey’s. Jamie sees pain and loneliness in Kinley and feels drawn to him even though she doesn’t want to be. She tries to deny the attraction for many reason but can only hold out for so long. Kinley and Jamie also have to fight forces that are looking to destroy Kinley and will need the help of his family. This was a great read and a wonderful way to bring everything to a close.
A powerful story of what is more important vengeance or family. Illegitimate son of the O’Neil family, Kinley has waited for this day for many years to pay back the O’Neils but soon he will find out the importance of family and how the O”Neils stay united as one.
This is a book that I had a hard time putting down. The chemistry between Jamie and Kinley was hot. Loved how Jamie would not back down from Kinley or the O’Neils. Plenty of intrigue and mystery that will keep you turning the pages. I have always loved the O”Neils and this did not disappoint. THis can be read as a stand alone.
6th book in the O’Neil stories but the 1st of them I’ve read, so can be read as a standalone. Kinley makes himself known to the family as the half brother they never knew existed and his plan is to take revenge on the family for all the years he felt he had been rejected. He falls for Jamie who is like a sister to the family and she helps him make his way with the others. Together they learn to trust and see how important family really is. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review.
Kathryn Shay never disappoints her newest book in the O’Neils series “The Reckoning” is a great addition. i couldn’t or didn’t want to put the book down. Kinley Moran is out for vengeance against the O’Neil family. He feels his father failed him and wants to take the family down with his wealth and power. Jamie Ralston is a single mother and waitress at the O’Neils Family bar. There she meets Kinley and they help each other navigate thru their lives and the big O’Neil family.
Whether you are a long time fan of this talented author, or have just discovered her, rest assure that this story is another winner. This time the story belongs to Kinley Moran, Jamie Ralston and of course, the O’Neill clan.
Kinley’s intention is to destroy the O’Neill family for his past. Revenge is his number one goal. Never realizing that this family has a strong bond, are perfect in their imperfections and therefore, not what he expected.
Of course , romance is in the air, though the road will be a bumpy one for Kinley and Jamie.
Typical of this author, you will need to have tissues near by, and be ready to fall in love all over again with the characters you have come to love . Characters that you believe are so real you’ll wish you could have them over for dinner.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
