Synopsis
Growing up, I spent every night tucked under my mother’s arm, dreamily listening to tales from her favorite book series—Legend Has It by Darby Donovan, a collection of spooky folklore about a town called Glenshire and the lonely, gray-eyed fairy prince who haunted the woods there. I knew they were just stories, but when my mother died and left me in the care of my cold, abusive father, that fictional fairy prince suddenly became very, very real to me. It was as if he was always there, hiding in the shadows, offering me his silent comfort. I turned him into an imaginary friend when I needed one most.
And thirteen years later, I’m doing it again.
When my coastal Irish town is bombed by the new Russian president, a Bratva leader seeking revenge on the United Irish Brotherhood, those missiles destroy everything I’ve ever known—my home, my family, and evidently my sanity—because when I pull an injured Russian Navy officer out of the sea, a man who led the charge against my town, I can’t bring myself to let him die.
Secluded together in my secret hiding spot, we’re safe from the Mafia war raging outside, but the overwhelming connection I feel to this stranger is a battle I fight every single day. I hate him with everything that I am, but when he looks at me with those smoky gray eyes, all I see is my friend. When he touches me, all I feel is desire. And when he wraps his lips around the sustenance I offer him, all I want is to feel them pressed against mine, loving me, putting me back together.
But no one can live in a fantasy world forever, and when reality finally finds us, the truth about him is worse than anything I could have imagined.
The man I rescued is no fairy prince.
He’s the goddamn Devil himself.

My Review
'𝐓H𝐄 𝐃E𝐕I𝐋 𝐇I𝐌S𝐄L𝐅'
Is the second full length romance book within the (Devil of Dublin) series by author B.B. Easton. Spoken in dual POV's. (Damien & Clover)
Tropes:
☘️ Touch her and die
☘️ Enemies to lovers
☘️ Forced proximity
☘️ Mafia war
The drama, the angst, the romance, where magical star crossed lovers collide, to survive in war torn Ireland they had to fix the past.
Clovers small Irish community and the rest of Dublin was under threat as it was being overtaken by Russian invaders as they bombed and overtook the land. She saves a Russian Navy Officer named Damien when she pulls him into the cave she was hiding out in as the relentless bombing and carnage was taking place outside of their safe haven. Despite her fear and hate for the enemy she's harbouring she can't help but feel herself drawn to him as they both fight to stay alive and out of the clutches of the Russians.
Many twists and turns and Irish folklore truly made for an unputdownable thrilling read.
This was one of my most highly anticipated books to be released this month, so I was beyond excited once it landed on my iPad, diving in straight away, to say I was hooked as soon as I started this was an understatement, the rush of terror as I feared for these two characters lives kept me glued to the pages inhaling every word as though my life depended on it.
