The Wild Irish Sea by Loucinda McGary

Amber O'Neil and Parker O'Neil are twins with a special gift; they can mindspeak. 

Parker is in Ireland out on a boat, when he witnesses a murder and in turn, gets shot at.  He knows the only way he can save himself is to dive overboard and swim to safety, but as he does so, he takes a shot to his side.  As the dark water slides over his head, he shouts in his mind to Amber to help him.... even though she is half way across the world in California.

Amber teaches eight and nine year olds and is divorced and is very close to her brother.  When she hears his call, she drops everything and rushes to Ireland.  She gets the help of policeman Kevin Hennessy to help her find her brother.

Kevin is a recluse.  He's had great sadness in his life and he's lived the past few years not getting close to anyone.  He used to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but has been sober for quite some time.  When Amber shows up at his door, she brings back feelings to Kevin he thought he would never feel again.

Over time, Amber and Kevin get closer and their romance blossoms into something beautiful. But also, they begin to mindspeak as well, and that could be a good thing or a bad thing, however you look it it.  They also find Parker, but quickly realize that the fella's that shot at him, are still after him.  Parker saw something that endangers his own lively hood and it will take all three of them to get to the bottom of it all.

Loucinda McGary is a master of her craft.  The Wild Irish Sea is a beautiful romance, with suspense and a touch of magic that blend together perfectly.  Her characters are true to life and the Irish dialogue is easy to read, yet lends authenticity to the setting.  I highly recommend The Wild Irish Sea! Perfect for this summer!!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
