Publisher's summary

Magic, shifters, and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Inheriting a cottage in Ireland seems like a stroke of pure luck to Grace Connolly, as is a chance meeting with her mysterious (and hot) new neighbor. Soon, Boston’s most up-and-coming harpist finds herself mixing business with pleasure and getting to know Finn Hurley - intimately.

But all is not as it seems with the alluring man from next door, nor in the seaside village of Ballyfianna. Magic, shapeshifters, and legendary pots of gold? The surprises don’t end there - not when Grace’s family secrets come to light. Before she knows it, her mini-adventure - and sizzling romance - become a fight between good and evil.

Ruthless enemies are muscling in on Finn’s home turf, and Grace will need more than the luck of the Irish to survive. Does she dare unleash the hidden power within her - a force she’s been warned never to use?

After a decade of military service, dragon shifter Finn Hurley is finally free to track down the elusive beauty he’s secretly loved for years. When he discovers her in his hometown, it seems like destiny is smiling on him. He should have known nothing in life comes easy - especially love.

Because, Ballyfianna is no longer the peaceful, sleepy place it once was, and Grace has unwittingly become involved in its troubles. Bitter enemies from beyond its borders are plotting to seize power, while traitors are conspiring within. But they are all mere puppets to an even more treacherous enemy lurking in the background.

Can this battle-weary warrior defeat evil and finally find his happy ending?

Don't miss Anna Lowe’s Fire Maidens: Billionaires & Bodyguards series! Danger lurks over Europe, where a ruthless dragon clan plots to seize power in the grandest, most glamorous cities. The guardians of old have summoned a new generation of shifter heroes to protect the castles, cathedrals, and cobblestoned streets of their ancestral homes and to seek out the last of the Fire Maidens - women coveted by the dark lords for their royal blood. Those women are absolutely off-limits to the young warriors tasked with protecting them. But destiny, of course, has other ideas!

Another Favorite 💖💖💖

I keep saying that each book is a favorite, but it's true. Each location and couple is more fun than the previous. I was looking forward to this book and wasn't disappointed at all. It kept me engaged all day. I'm looking forward to the next installment. Ms. Osborne's performance has completely improved with each book and I look forward to listening to her.

I love Grace and her moxie! She was such a lovely and lively character. I loved that she was biracial and how it played into the story. Finn was adorable! Loved how he interacted with his nephews. His family was fabulous as well. I absolutely loved how the richness of family relationships played into this particular story. It's been a theme in all of Ms. Lowe's books, but this one just seemed to tip the scales a bit more for me.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audiobook. I also purchased the Kindle version.

Can destiny strike twice?

I have always loved listening to Anna Lowe's books but this one and hopefully the next will strike close to my personal favorites. I've always been a fan of Ireland and Scotland and seeing them show up in a great authors works really makes me appreciate her more.

Finn Hurley has returned home to help his family even though it pains him a bit to be there. He had both met and lost his mate as a child, so returning makes him remember that loss.

Grace has inherited a cottage in Ballyfianna. She has loved when her family had visited when she was a kid, and always had fond memories of another who had saved her life in the ruins.

The pair run into each other again at the ruins. Finn is surprised of finding his mate back in Ireland and wants to try to keep her there, however Grace has some more pressing concerns back in the states. Grace has been fantasizing about what Finn would look like being grown up, but her imagination is not up to par with Finn in reality. She regret that she will need to be back in the states soon, but hopes that they can enjoy each others company while she is here to deal with the cottage.

Will these two be able to find a way to make their relationship blossom, or will life matter tear them apart?

I loved listening to this book, and not just for the romance in the story. There is action with an imposing clan trying to take over Ballyfianna. Will the Lombardi's be able to finally gain a foothold in Europe, or will they be thwarted again? All sorts of secret lie in wait for Grace, will she be able to handle the truth when it is shown to her?

I did receive a free copy of this audiobook, and I am voluntarily leaving this review. I don't think you will be disappointed in picking up the book.

I was transported to the green hills of Ireland.

Once again a totally enjoyable time listening to this book. I was transported to the green hills of Ireland whilst working in my kitchen. BOOK REVIEW Ms Lowe just keeps me entertained on our voyage around European countries. I loved feeling like I was in Ireland with all that beautiful greenery and scenery. I could hear the lilting Irish accents and envision the places as I read. Very different having Irish Elk shifters and the characters and story were entertaining. Loved both Finn and Grace and the fact they had met as children was sweet. More turmoil with the Lombardi’s involved and discord within the family and village and in relation to neighbouring power hungry wolves. This is my honest review of this book.

Great Book

I liked this book. I loved that Grace went back to Ireland and found her best friend from when she was younger. Finn was everything I could want in a mate. These two had a chemistry that I could only dream of having with when I find my mate.

Makes you want to visit Ireland

This Fire Maidens story is a little different. For one thing, it takes place in a small Irish village and not a big city. For another, Grace and Finn met each other many years attack when they were children and Grace's family came to visit a great uncle who lived in the area. The two children bonded over an "almost" accident that they knew had to be a secret to keep parents from freaking out. Most importantly, the Guardians of Ireland are not snotty or overbearing. There is plenty of magic, but not the heart pounding feelings of doom that some of the other Fire Maidens have suffered before and after reaching their European destination.

Grace has come to the small village of Ballyfianna, Ireland because she has inherited a small cottage near the ruins of an old castle. She takes a walk around the castle grounds, remembering a day she spent there with a boy her age playing and climbing around the old ruins. When she almost took a header over a cliff, Finn saved her from falling and the two bonded over their shared relief at thwarting disaster. Grace has thought about Finn ever since that day, wondering about his life and fantasizing about the two of them together.

Finn is a dragon shifter who is the fourth of seven children. His life has led him all over the world and into many a hot zone as a member of the French Foreign Legion. The small village where he grew up and his family lives was too small for him once, but now? He has watched his friends from his Legion days meet their mates and settle down. If only he could go and find Grace, the little girl that he only met once, but has never forgotten. But right now his family needs him.

His brother-in-law is the leader of the local shifters. A giant elk shifter, Eamonn, is the head of the Irish Guardians. An alliance with Finn's dragon shifter family has always been a strong one and several of his relatives are also Guardians. Some troubles with a local wolf pack and the threat of the Lombardis have worried Eamonn enough to have him request that Finn stick around in the area for awhile.

When Finn takes a walk to the old castle ruins and sees a young woman near the edge of the cliff where a little girl once almost fell to her death he shouts to warn the woman away, and almost causes her to fall. When he looks into her angry eyes he sees..Grace.

Find out what happens when the magic of Ireland works to convince a girl from Boston that her heart is in Ireland and destiny shows a boy from Ireland that home really is where the heart is.

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Finn and Grace

Luck of the Irish. Grace has inherited a place in Ballyfianna, but not everyone is happy about this development. Grace has a love of Ireland and the cute boy who saved her life all those years ago.

Finn knows what it's like to have loved and lost, headed home to Ireland on leave, the last person he expects to find is Grace. Beautiful as ever, but destined to leave, Finn knows nothing ever comes easy, except loving Grace.

Full of action, traitors, and those wanting power, Fire Maidens Ireland is an excellent story that follows well within the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy provided by the author.
