Luck of The Irish by Aline de Chevigny
Dina O’Reilley’s Aunt Caitlin had always told her that when she met her one, she would know him as the green man. When she finds a plastic encased four leaf clover in her soup at a restaurant on St. Patrick’s Day, she calls her waiter over to complain. With it being St. Patrick’s Day, he’s dressed all in green and has the most gorgeous green eyes she’s ever seen. Connor O’Connor is the owner of the Luck Of The Irish restaurant and is stunned when Dina shows him the clover. According to family legend, the clover appears to the first born of each generation to signify that person’s one and only. Whomever the one is has to accept that particular O’Connor willingly. If not, that family member will live their life out alone. Connor’s uncle Devlin was rejected by his one and has turned into a lonely and bitter man. He only married because he got a woman pregnant but she died in childbirth. Devlin’s son Pietro has always been jealous of Connor and is as bitter as his father.
When their hands touch, Connor and Dina find themselves in the Land Of The Mist. A place for the chosen couples to decide their future, it is someplace where only they exist. As Connor and Dina have accepted each other, they take advantage of the privacy to get to know each other better. The next morning they awake to find themselves in Connor’s bed. Dina has mysteriously acquired a clover shaped diamond engagement ring and they both have matching clover tattoos on their hips. They are rudely intruded upon by Pietro though. He is angry and claims that Dina is rightfully his as Connor stole Dina from him at the restaurant. He thinks that Connor is only the oldest by default since his father’s one rejected him. They are also confronted by Dina’s Aunt Caitlin and even though they have accepted each other, they find they need the acceptance of Caitlin as well as Pietro.
This was a short but very engaging story. I was a little taken aback by Dina’s instant acceptance of Connor but came to understand it the more I read. The characters were extremely easy to like and the flow of the story was very smooth. There is a definite potential for another book although I don’t know if one has been written or is planned. I hope so and look forward to reading it if it is written.
