Review of An Irish Attraction by Louisa Masters

“Fun, sweet, & effortless read.”

Author: Louisa Masters

Title: An Irish Attraction

Genre: Paranormal Romance

While a paranormal investigator and a hotel concierge butt heads, matchmaking ghosts and an enchanted elevator cause mischief. It’s just another day at Castle Tullamore.

Keela Keane sees things others think aren’t there. It’s the perfect talent for a paranormal investigator and has served her well across the globe. She’s at the top of her field and ready for a new challenge: the enchanted elevator at Castle Tullamore Hotel in her homeland of Ireland.

Senior Concierge Seamus O’Kane has been dealing with the fallout from that cursed elevator for fourteen years, but that doesn’t mean he likes being assigned to assist Dr. Keane in her investigation. Working with Keela is a revelation he never expected, and it’s not long before the project—and Keela—soften his attitude.

But as they get closer to unraveling the secrets of the elevator, all the while dodging the efforts of the castle’s matchmaking ghosts, both Keela and Seamus are forced to admit that the magic of Tullamore might be the best thing to have ever happened to them.

A sweet, mysterious romance that will suck you into the paranormal and leave you wanting more. I absolutely adored Keela’s abilities and honestly want to read another story about the beings she can see. This is the first character I’ve read where she can see more than mere ghosts and I liked the creativity in how the others were viewed. The supporting characters (gossiping ghosts) of Tollamore make this story that much more enjoyable. Keela and Seamus could easily have a TV series about their adventures while exploring the supernatural realm. Highly recommend even if paranormal isn’t your typical reading genre.

Louisa Masters started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was working out how to read romance novels without being discovered. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she whines about the weather for most of the year while secretly admitting she’ll probably never move.

One last heist.
It should’ve been easy. Crack a safe, steal from a villain, and go on vacation. The last thing Mack and Toshiro expect is to descend into a nightmare of betrayal.
Mack Ueda-Easton loves three things: his husband, heists, and his odd family of friends. He lives life on the edge. The only cloud on his horizon is the degenerative disease stealing his sight.
Toshiro Ueda-Easton tries to juggle his husband, his autistic sister, his interfering mother, and all of their heists. He knows they’re spiraling out of control and the journey they’re travelling can’t last.
What neither of them expect is to get catapulted straight into a dangerous conspiracy. They’re now in a race to come out on top. If they fail, the consequences are unimaginable.

As a first time M/M romance reader, I was impressed.
This heist doesn’t go as planned. I won’t give too much away because it’s a ride that kept me flipping pages. Let’s just say, you don’t see the ending coming.
I adore the give and take of these characters. Tosh and Mack were made for each other in more ways than one. Their backstories are incredible and flow perfectly into the present day story. I also fell for Dom and Charlie. Those two are adorable, sass and all. Overall, these characters have depth and were well-written. Highly recommend. This was my first Dahlia Donovan novel and it certainly won’t be the last.

A handsome deputy who’s not looking to settle down.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Of course, I’m a sucker for anything mafia (if you hadn’t noticed from my own books) so this story piqued my interest. Being from Iowa and familiar with Pella, I was pleasantly surprised of how Sheri portrayed Iowans. Naturally, we have super hot cops like Henri. He was probably my favorite part of the story and I’ll share a pizza with anytime 😉 Overall, the story was well written and kept the reader engaged. Looking forward to more from this author.
