Great book about using the situations God puts you in for good :)
 The fisrt story in this book is about a bride who steps off the trail and finds her soon to be husband in jail. Definitely a mishap. I loved how the lead character wasn't afraid to help and go out of her comfort zone.
 The second book is one of my favorite books in the series. Its about a young couple set upon by a matchmaker. A wonderful about healing families.
The third book is about a bride who was tricked and had to make her way again, a great story.
  Finally the forth book, what a lovely way to end a series!!! A fiery Irish red head who needs to escape her situation and uses the opportunity God gave her to escape. When she gets there she meets a Swedish man .... so cool.
    I would highly recommend reading this book :)
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing in return for my honest feed back. The opinions expressed within are my own.

Primal Bonds ( Shifters Unbound book 2)
By Jennifer Ashley

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

When a female Shifter comes to town seeking refuge, Feline Shifter Sean Morrissey claims the new arrival and finds a beautiful woman who looks him straight in the eye without fear, stirring the mating frenzy within him.

To relocate to a new Shiftertown, half-Fae, half-Shifter Andrea Gray must accept a new mate. But Andrea's intense attraction to Sean is something she never expected-a perilous complication for a woman with a troubled past.


This is becoming one of my favourite shifter series. I love and hate the premise nobody wants to be in a shock collar but you could imagine this actually happening if shifters existed in real life. This book shows some kickass females and some eye candy in our Irish boys! I really enjoyed this storyline it kept me glued to the book. It also targets deep issues and that we can overcome them regardless of how hard it gets!

The Quiet Man (1952)
The Quiet Man (1952)
1952 | Classics, Comedy, Drama

"Taking a slight turn, I love the John Wayne film The Quiet Man. It’s quite something. It’s a John Ford movie, it’s John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. It’s kind of like John Wayne’s Brigadoon. He plays this boxer who killed a man in the ring in the States, and so, to escape his past, he moves to his ancestral little home in Ireland. It’s this quaint little village, and I believe it’s called Innisfree — I know Innisfree is from a Yeats poem, and it sort of represents the small Irish town of heaven; it’s sort of a fantastical place — but the town in The Quiet Man is Innisfree, which makes sense. So he goes there to escape his past, falls in love, of course, with Maureen O’Hara — who wouldn’t? — and her brother turns out to be the enormous, pugilistic, evil, Bluto-like landlord. So the movie cannot be resolved, nor can their love, without one final fistfight. It’s funny; just the other day, I sent a message to my agent, “Remake idea: The Quiet Man?” I have two fists. I can swagger."

A 21-Centuries-old Celt, and he has an Irish Wolfhound named Oberon, with whom they share a telepathic bond/communication? Look, you had me at the inclusion of a furry/fuzzy dog! However, it went downhill thereafter!

From the first page, there is a playful sense of adventure within, and that is good. Unfortunately, having the lead character "knock boots" with any of the Tuatha Dé Danann who appear in the book left an unpleasant taste in mouth. Further exacerbating the taste was the objectification used in his description of anyone of the opposite sex! Wow! It started to feel like a ride on the Misogynist Express..and that was only the first six Chapters (I couldn't go any further)!

It's a shame, too, because the series has garner a more than fair amount of praise, and with the upcoming Dabel Brothers comic adaptation of the series, I was looking forward to this. Ah well, there's other, less sexist/misogynistic/etc. fantasy/urban fantasy out there. You (and I) can do better to search elsewhere..

Mother Riley Meets Bela Lugosi
My Son, the Vampire as known as Mother Riley Meets The Vampire as known as Vampire Over London is a good movie.

The plot: Irish washerwoman Old Mother Riley (Arthur Lucan) foils a would-be vampire (Bela Lugosi) and his misguided robot.

This was the final film of the Old Mother Riley film series, and did not feature Lucan's ex-wife and business partner Kitty McShane, whom he had divorced in 1951.

In 1963, a recut American version called My Son, the Vampire was released, featuring an introductory segment with a song by American comedian Allan Sherman.

On the suggestion of producer Richard Gordon, Bela Lugosi had travelled to the UK to appear in a stage play of Dracula, which failed. He needed money to return to the US. Gordon persuaded fellow producer George Minter to use Lugosi in a movie in London.

Lugosi was paid $5,000 for his role. The plot was taken from Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Its a funny horror comedy.
