Review: Falling for Irish (MacArthur Family #1)

Falling for Irish (MacArthur Family #1)

by Katie Reus

Blurb:

She walked away once.

When Kathryn Irish realized that she and Daniel were too different—and that he thought she was after him for his money—she ended things. When a job randomly puts her back on his radar, they hesitantly form a truce. But deep down she knows she can never be just friends with him. She’ll always want more.

He never should have let her go.

Daniel MacArthur knows he made the biggest mistake of his life in letting Kathryn walk away. When she suddenly appears back in his life, it’s not a moment too soon—since she’s been targeted twice by a faceless enemy. She thinks the two attacks are random. But he’s not so sure. Is it because of her job? Or is something more sinister at play?

Review:

 An all new, amazing series, that revolves around the Irish family and the craziness that ensures the fun and games are ON! Katie Reus is by far one of my favorite authors, no doubt about it. She has so many amazing series to enjoy that I never doubt when she begins a new one that I will be instantly enthralled and when I learned about this one I knew I would be jumping on it. The series begins with the series of two former lovers coming back together in a blaze of heat that is truly undeniable, along with some crazy danger and one psychotic stalker they never saw coming.  Kathryn is a super-slick computer hacker (for the good guys), but she never imagined her latest challenge would be her ex’s new secure building.  Daniel is beyond surprised to run into Kathryn but the feelings she stirs tell him that he never stopped wanting her, so when she’s back in his sphere he decides that it is time for some answers.  Once he confronts her about why she left him to begin with, and it becomes abundantly clear that there was some serious miscommunication, nothing will keep him from her, especially when her life continues to be threatened by some unknown nutjob.  Kathryn is dealing with a lot, but with attacks around every corner, she never thought she’d be dealing with a relationship with Daniel again, but she’s not strong enough to push him away for a second time.  Once they are both too deep to deny their feelings anymore the true danger becomes surviving long enough to have a future, because the danger stalking Kathryn does not want them together. I was crazy enamored of Daniel as I got to know him, he is such a sweet and devoted guy, stepping in again and again to make sure that Kathryn is safe and happy, even when she fights him.  HE is obviously used to getting what he wants, but the woman he really wants had run from him so much that he knows to tread lightly with her which tells me he is smart and dedicated to truly building a lasting relationship too.  Not to mention when the enemy shows themselves he is willing to give his all to protect Kathryn.  Kathryn was a little bit of a different story for me.  She obviously had some hang-ups in her relationship with Daniel, ones that let other too easily manipulate her weaknesses, but once she begins to really trust him, even when she has moments of fear and back-slips, its obvious that she loves her man and is determined to have a life with him.   She was intelligent, sweet, loving, and came with a crazy family –which I can’t wait to learn more about—and a hilarious cat as well.  Passion was definitely not a problem for these two, in either the first or second round of their relationship, and I have a feeling it wont be an issue long into the future for them either.  I look forward greatly, to seeing these two in future stories as we learn more about Kathryn’s family and see each of them find their loves and adventures.  Another gem in the Reus crown.
