Utterly Captivating!

Long Island - 1922

Once again, author Susan Anne Mason sweeps the reader away on a heartwarming, but angsty journey to the lovely, affluent estate of Irish Meadows—surrounded with lush grass-covered paddocks, magnificent stables, and the spirited O'Leary clan.

When the captivating Deirdre O'Leary arrives in Toronto requesting that widower Dr. Matthew Clayborne return with her to Irish Meadows to help her ailing mother, she is met with much resistance on the part of the handsome, but surly doctor. Dedicated to helping wounded soldiers and his four-year-old daughter, Phoebe, are his top priorities. However, when his daughter suffers a health scare, Deirdre makes Matthew an offer he cannot refuse—a respite for Phoebe to the fresh air of Irish Meadows—in exchange for his assistance with Mrs. O'Leary.

As Phoebe begins to flourish amidst the rambunctious O'Leary's and the peaceful atmosphere of Irish Meadows, Matthew finds himself drawn to them as well...especially to the intriguing Deirdre. But he finds himself in a quandary for he has no intentions of leaving his patients and home in Canada, and Deirdre has sworn off marriage to pursue her career. But what of those compassionate, sparkling green eyes that haunt his dreams?...and of her growing attraction to this gentle man who brings tears to those viridescent eyes at the very thought of his leaving? 

Christy Award winner, Susan Ann Mason, has swiftly made it into the top ten of my fave authors with her wonderful Courage to Dream series! Her prowess at telling a realistic story containing unpredictable, angst-filled situations and exhilarating, capricious characters is second to none...and you just can't beat two steamy romances for the price of one! Warning: Be sure to keep a fan and tissues handy for aforementioned love scenes. lol Love's Faithful Promise is a soul-stirring, mesmerizing novel that will stay with you long after that last sigh-worthy page is turned.

This novel may be purchased through Amazon, CBD, BAM, B&N, and your local bookstore.

Diana's Review Of A Worthy Heart By Susan Anne Mason

♫ When Irish Eyes Are Smiling ♫

Susan Anne Mason has penned a mesmerizing, impassioned Irish American saga of two families whose lives intertwine at the lovely and affluent estate—the O'Leary stables, Irish Meadows, in 1914 Long Island, New York.

Maggie Montgomery's dreams of coming to America and starting a new life are finally coming to fruition. She has escaped the unwanted advances of Neill Fitzgerald and has no plans of ever returning to the lush, verdant meadows of Ireland. Once in New York she is reunited with Rylan Montgomery, her beloved brother and his wife, the former Colleen O'Leary of Irish Meadows estate. While visiting Irish Meadows she meets Colleen's brother, Adam—handsome and intriguing, but totally off limits.

Adam O'Leary has recently been released from prison and though ostracized from his family, Maggie is inexorably drawn to him. Adam's main desire of heart is to earn back his family's trust, and the lovely Irish Maggie who was not a part of his plans quickly becomes a priority as well. However, their tight-knit bond begins to unravel as Adam stumbles upon a terrible family secret that threatens to completely destroy his already low self-esteem—and neither he nor Maggie realize their undeniable attraction to one another may cause unfathomable danger to themselves...and those they love.

Author Susan Anne Mason has quickly become one of my favorite new authors—beginning with her amazing debut novel Irish Meadows and totally enrapturing me with A Worthy Heart! With a smidgen of suspense, two toe curling, angst-filled romances in the O'Leary/Montgomery family for the price of one (sighhh...)—and memorable characters who will wrap themselves around your heart and not let go—this is a definite must read! Although not a requirement as this book does well as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading Irish Meadows first to become better acquainted with each fascinating character. A Worthy Heart is a fast-paced, exciting novel with never a dull moment, interspersed with a strong theme of forgiveness and redemption throughout. Be sure to order your copy today!
