Grayson Anders has it all. He’s the co-owner of a happening nightclub in downtown Boston, he’s wealthy, and women can’t resist him. But he doesn’t want just any woman. His passion is dancing and he’s determined to find the perfect dance partner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chloe LaRoche is a talented artist, but a failing entrepreneur. Her once thriving studio is now on the brink of foreclosure and unless she paints the next Van Gogh Starry Night, she’ll have to cut her losses and say goodbye to her quaint little gallery. Fearing her career is at an end, she drags herself to the local hot spot, fixed on drowning her worries in the bottom of a shot glass...until she lays eyes on the wickedly sexy, swarthy dancer in the club—Grayson Anders.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unable to resist, Chloe finds herself in Grayson’s arms, indulging in a passionate, one night stand. And when they awaken the next morning, they're both consumed with inspiration. Grayson finds his perfect dance partner and Chloe discovers her muse. But will her secret destroy both their dreams?<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">What others are saying:</span></b><br />
"Ms. Vincent’s writing has the unique ability of capturing both the reader’s heart and mind. The emotional investment in the characters starts from the beginning. You’ll want things for them that you might never have otherwise thought about wanting for someone so fiercely. As the story builds, so does Grayson and Chloe’s indescribable chemistry. They may feel like they come from two different worlds, but they couldn’t be more compatible. The contemporary setting makes it that much easier to envision the characters and environment as the story unfolds. The title is very fitting with a few different meanings behind it, which are revealed throughout the story. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this story and would love to see it become a movie. Another highly recommended read by Renee Vincent!"<br />
<b>5 Star TOP PICK ~ Night Owl Reviews </b><br />
<br />
"Hot, Hot, Hot! THE SILENT PARTNER, a novel by talented author Renee Vincent, is a sensationally steamy, toe-tapping contemporary romance that will absolutely captivate you. Best known for her historical tenth century Northmen novels, Ms. Vincent has moved into the present with this beautifully written tale. Filled with well-drawn characters, self-discovery, growth, forgiveness, broken dreams and love, this story is one you will not soon forget. Not many authors can successfully combine romance, intrigue, passion and inspiration in one novel, but Ms. Vincent manages to do this magnificently with this contemporary work, bringing the story to life with touching emotion. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of SILENT PARTNER. I highly recommend it! In the meantime, as a huge fan of Ms. Vincent’s work, I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next."<br />
<b>5 Blue Ribbons ~ Romance Junkies</b><br />
<br />
"What did you expect when you read the title, Silent Partner? Big business, and mega-buck takeovers perhaps? If so, think again. This is Ms. Vincent’s debut venture into mainstream romance, and the wait was more than worth it. Do not mistake the ‘sweet’ rating for tepid writing. Silent Partner is well researched, offering background information woven into her story so skilfully it blew me away. The author takes her hero and heroine through twisted and tortuous hoops of self-discovery and growth and brings them together in a believable manner. Her writing sparkles, and given this is the author’s first attempt at contemporary mainstream romance, she creates the right impact for settings, pace and conflict. Her main characters are fully developed as are the supporting cast. Her balance of the self-absorbed hero meeting emotionally challenged heroine is stunning because of her research into the heroine’s background. This book is a keeper."<br />
<b>LASR BEST BOOK ~ Long And Short Reviews</b><br />
<br />
"Renee Vincent captures our mind as well as our hearts as we find ourselves entwined in the dance between Chloe and Grayson. There are underlying depths to the story that makes you stop and think about your own lives. As the tension arises between Chloe and Grayson so does the chemistry that is undeniable. Renee shows us that once fate steps in, no matter what obstacles are thrown at us there is always a way to obtain what we want in life if we just have the passion, hope and trust to do so."<br />
<b>Romancing The Book</b><br />
<br />
"With every turn of the page the words had me drawn like a moth to a flame. The major plot twists were so well written that I never saw them coming and lets be honest anymore that is a GREAT thing to have happen. I fell in love with Gray and Chloe from page one to the very end. This was an awesome book of beautifully written love scenes, surprises at every turn, and truly good show of how one person can adapt to anything if there is love involved!"<br />
<b>5 Fairies! Judging The Book By The Pages</b><br />
<br />
"Silent Partner is a great read! Initially, I did not like the way these two came together. Not because it was a one night stand, but the way it happened. Later in the story we learn the reasons why they came together that way, and it completed the story for me. Ms. Vincent’s characters are filled with emotion and a realness that had me disliking Grayson for a large part of the book. Later, I cheered him on as he tried to redeem himself and make himself worthy of Chloe. Chloe had me in tears. Her hurt and anger at the situation were real and wonderfully written. I know this book will keep you turning pages till the end."<br />

"A feel good story, THE START OF SOMETHING GOOD, the first book in author Gracie Lee Rose’s JAMETT AND JOSEPH series, is a witty, poignant contemporary romance that you will hate to see end. This sweet, innocent tale takes you along for the ride as life takes two people on the path from friendship to love. Dealing with the choices in life, friendship, family, love, loss and gain, this fun, flirty story will touch your heart and tickle your funny bone. I look forward to reading the sequels to this story, THE ROAD TO SOMETHING BETTER and THE GIFT OF SOMETHING GRAND when they are released. In the meantime, do not miss THE START OF SOMETHING GOOD, which promises to be the beginning of a wonderful series!"</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Jamie is an extremely relatable and likable character. Her inner ramblings are perceptive and humorous, which wonderfully supports the first-person narrative. She is also independent and readily admits to being a hoarder among other faults. None of her character traits are extreme and leave plenty of room for continued growth throughout the series. And if that weren’t enough to entice chick-lit and women’s fiction reader’s everywhere then wait ‘til you meet Joseph. He’s sensitive, sweet, and just a touch aggressive when he sets sights on something he wants. After a significantly heartfelt first kiss and a few profound moments that occur between these two, I can’t wait to see what happens next. The author has a wonderful capability of evoking all of the reader’s senses in a such subtle way that encourages reading this perfectly paced story in one sitting. A light and easy read, this alternately hilarious and heartwarming story is definitely the start of something good!"</div>

"I loved this sweet contemporary! Jamie and Joseph meet in one of the most awkward and intriguing ways I've ever read, and what evolves is a friendship with all the earmarks of an enduring romance. The Start of Something Good is a delicious taste of things to come from Gracie Lee Rose. I can't wait for the next installment!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>~5 STARS! ~ Margaret Ethridge, author of Commitment</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">"What a special story! I really enjoyed this one and even had my mother read it (which she loved)! The Start of Something Good was nothing like I expected it to be. Here I had made assumptions about this story and not a single one of them was even close. This story left me with a warm feeling on the inside and a smile on the outside. Gracie Lee Rose (aka Renee Vincent, the award-winning author of adult romance novels) created two lovely characters that were easy to relate to and like. There's not a woman alive that wouldn't be able to relate to Jaimie and her disillusion with men, nor can you NOT fall just a little (or a lot in my case) for Joseph. As I said two easy to relate to and very likable characters. If you're looking for something romantic that you can read with your mother, grandmother or if you're a mom, you can read with your daughter, then The Start of Something Good is for you. It makes an excellent gift as well! I am definitely adding the sequels to my "To Read" list."</div>

"I've just finished The Start of Something Good. I sure the heck hope that Book 2 is out soon because I don't know that I can wait!! That was one of the best sweet stories that I've had the privilege of reading in a long time. It was really easy to develop an emotional connection with the characters, as well. I love the premise and I can't wait to see how Jaime and Joseph's relationship progresses."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"</span></b>I was just reminded of the greatest book I have ever read! I am not a reader but I have read this entire series, TWICE! Good News, there is a 4th book!! I gotta get my hands on this!! I just learned for some reason that Book One (<a href="https://www.books2read.com/SunsetFire" target="_blank">Sunset Fire</a>) is free on Kindle? This book is written by Renee Vincent & it is powerful enough to transport you right into ancient Ireland. I swear I could smell & taste everything. Book 1 is so amazing & powerful I made a SoulCollage card about it!! I am not a reader at all, Cliff notes all the way for me but THIS BOOK.....

<b><span style="font-size: large;">"</span></b>You know you have definitely touched a reader when they want to contact you for pulling every emotion from them while reading your book. What a roller coaster ride while reading Raeliksen. You had me from page one. Not only that, you had me smiling, laughing, and then crying being only 30% into the book! I cant read too many books like that because it took so much out of me. Not only that, I could not read the pages at the end because I was crying so much!! My husband thought something was wrong because I was alone downstairs using up a whole box of tissue. You would think the characters were THAT real !!!! I am a true avid Scottish historical fan, but thought what the hey, why not try one of Ms. Vincents Viking books. I'm so glad I did. I am getting ready to read the second book in the Trilogy, but before I did, I wanted to thank you again for a nice change. Of course any reader of the book would have loved a different outcome, but don't all love stories end up that way? You are the first Author that I had to commend and Thank You for allowing me the opportunity to read a truly beautiful book. I'm tearing up again just thinking about Daegan and how amazing his character affected me. Please continue to write because you have yet another FAN. If ever you have the need for anyone to "proof read" any of your upcoming books...........I would LOVE to!!!!!! I Thank you once again for writing such an inspirational, heart wrenching, emotional Love Story that will be read over and over.<b><span style="font-size: large;">" </span><span style="color: #351c75;">-- Riz L.</span></b></div>

Absolutely AMAZING!!! You gave me the chance to visit Ireland and the past with your writings, I laughed, cried, got excited,felt the LOVE of family and friends with your help.. I could actually feel the pain they felt, their losses of home, family and friends. The bonding that came from their hearts was amazing.. I will continue to read all your books,and tell everyone I know who loves to read or is beginning for the first time in a series, that these are books that will hold your heart, mind and thoughts from beginning to end.

I love historical romance and the Emerald Isle Trilogy blew me away! Of course I ate up the first two, but the last book took me by complete surprise! Never have I encountered such a brilliant ending. For Daegan and Mara to find each other again warmed my heart more than any other story ever. I have to say though, for Sorcha to appear in the last paragraphs was simply amazing! Quite possibly the happiest ending of all time! I cannot wait to read more from you.

The second is to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your Trilogy of The Emerald Isles. I read the first book and it only took me two nights to read it. I am 49 and it is the first time ever in my life that a book has made me cry, not a simple cry, but a very heartfelt cry which was with me for two days. Today I have finished reading Book two and again I shed tears, which I have never done in my life for reading a book. Daegan is such an outstanding character, I was so surprised to see that he out of all the characters is the one who has touched my soul. Tonight I will start book three. I went and looked you up and saw that you are going to write about Gustaf and I am so excited. Just wanted to take the time and let you know that I truly wanted to thank you for giving my life a little more than it is.<b><span style="font-size: large;">"</span> <span style="color: #351c75;">-- Becky Mc.</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.reneevincent.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOr9SxlldOp78NSr2PjieBebxDZa29luosG7XasUdxd8Ei9QlX66dAjHtiPzgQdCFt6ip3tUhr0v7lgk3aHPHj5Ev3tSmXBbEzKZaBtxt3i-L3jxipUuFpBfTPfzA3ZhPONgMMhb_bOOKT/s320/dreamstimelarge_492134.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’ve been asked this question many times and the answer for me has always been “Why not?” As readers of romance, we like our heroes to be bold, sexy, sometimes brazen, and always chivalrous. What better group of heroic men can give you all that and more than the brave warriors of the North?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I suppose my fixation for Vikings is akin to asking an herbivore why he prefers the taste of grass to a big juicy steak. Okay, I suspect my interest in these men does not go quite as far as an innate behavior, but considering I’ve had this passion since taking World History in high school, it’s seems as close to an inherent condition as I can imagine. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As most everyone has learned, Vikings were a formidable race of men, practiced in the skill of raiding and evading. We were educated to believe that they were greedy pillagers, marked by lack of compassion and extreme brutality in their pursuit for gold and riches. No one was safe from their torment, especially the unarmed monks of the European world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But as I sat and listened to my teachers describe this particular Scandinavian race of adventure-seeking seamen, I couldn’t help feeling that something was amiss. Could an entire class of people be that barbaric? Did every person—man, woman, and child—set their sights on wreaking havoc over their distant, and some not so distant, European neighbors?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thought of that concept actually made me laugh. While we know that Hitler and his strong band of Nazis utterly bewildered and outraged the world with their fanatical purpose to end the Jewish community, we also know that not all Germans sided with this tyrannical quest for world domination. On the flip side, I also thought it utterly ridiculous to lump the men from the North into that same category of extremists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my pursuit to set the record straight, I struck out to research this race on my own. In reading many research books on the subject, I came to find that most were written by men, laden with facts, dates, and events. To be truthful, it was a huge bore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Life-Viking-Jacqueline-Simpson/dp/088029146X/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2ITApUXF2wJiWCrFtD9-MpZHsKKKyrP-aWiCJWPw-0dyrDvIZ_kiLj0iliU4ktT2yuRr6KITRMirQRcBfRKTmk6oV4S0Qz8VEeuFDJMsrFVQT5a-2XafLzij2hdsgSjCvC1VO5Przvgn/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until…I found a book entitled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Life-Viking-Jacqueline-Simpson/dp/088029146X">Everyday Life In The Viking Age</a> by Jacqueline Simpson. To my surprise, it was authored by a female and written in such a way that held me riveted. She went beyond factual statistics and delved into the core of the Vikings’ life. She spoke of their unparalleled unity of family and brotherhood, independence and honor. It was the first nonfiction book I’d ever read cover to cover.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In great detail, she explained how most were simple craftsmen and merchants looking to make an honest living with trade, or farmers aiming to settle upon lush lands following the depletion of Norway’s natural resources—while still upholding the role of a warrior if the duty arose. For me, there was something to be said about the fearless men who bravely picked up their families and left their homelands to journey on an open sea in the hopes of making a new life for themselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also found that along with courage, these men made and kept oaths of loyalty, both with their gods and their brothers in arms. It was not likely that oaths were broken, as doing so would have called to question one’s honor, and during this time, a man’s character was either his glory or his shame.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These men were also family men; a people who stood closely together, sometimes living together in the same longhouses and raising each others’ young as their own. While they held a high regard for kinship, they also harbored an untamable desire for exploration. Their vitality for adventure, as well as their unsurpassed nautical intelligence, helped them to perfect the most versatile sea vessel of their time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In truth, this was the spirit of the Northmen and the reason why I enjoy writing them into my historical romances. I’ve always said I would love to have been born in the 10th century so I could set my own eyes on a few tall, fair-haired, muscled warriors and witness their passionate exploits on the bows of their impressive dragon ships. Hey a girl can dream, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope I entertained you, if not enlightened you, about why the Vikings are a logical choice for the burly Alpha male heroes we want in our romance novels.</div>

<br />
Dropping everything and leaving her idiot boyfriend behind, Carly Fuller heads to the country to start her life anew, never expecting the dolt to turn possessive and follow her. On the run and in fear for her life, she turns down a long blacktop drive with beautiful black-board fencing. Hoping the wealthy, respectable owners will help her get to the authorities, she finds that the gorgeous horse farm belongs to one hunky carpenter who has more than enough muscle to safeguard her.<br />
<br />
While his childhood friends have eagerly left the country, Jeremiah Kessler remains as far away as possible from the busy city life. Content to live in the quiet, rolling hills of Kentucky, his perfect world is torn asunder the day Ms. Windy City Whirlwind blows up onto his doorstep looking for sanctuary from her volatile ex-boyfriend.<br />
<br />
As every goodhearted country boy had been taught, he doesn’t turn his back on a woman in need—especially when a funneling tornado is threatening to rip through his town. As the two take shelter in his basement, Jeremiah learns that some good can actually come from the city, in particular the feisty little windstorm under his roof.</div>

Book one in the series,<i> Ræliksen</i>, introduces us to Mara, daughter of an Irish clansmen who is loved by both Dægan Ræliksen, a Norse warrior, and by Breandán Mac Liam, an Irish hunter. <i>Ræliksen</i>, a triumphantly successful debut for Renee Vincent, has earned numerous accolades: Winner of two categories by <a href="http://dawnsreadingnook.blogspot.com/2011/01/lr-cafes-official-winner-list-for-best.html">LoveRomanceCafe</a>--"<b>Best Book Cover 2010</b>" and "<b>Best Historical 2010</b>"; a <b>5 Star TOP PICK</b> from <a href="http://www.nightowlromance.com/nor/Reviews/Yadkny-reviews-R-liksen-by-Renee-Vincent.aspx">Night Owl Reviews</a>; and #<b>1 Choice for Marissa's Top 5 Books of 2010</b> at <a href="http://www.sizzlinghotbooks.net/2010/12/marissas-top-five-books-of-2010.html">Sizzling Hot Reviews</a>. <br />
<br />
The second book in the series, <i>Mac Liam</i>, begins seven years after <i>Ræliksen</i> ends, and it allows us entry into the heart and mind of the soulful Irishman. Highly anticipated and critically well-received, <i>Mac Liam</i> has earned a <b>5 Star TOP PICK</b> rating from <a href="http://www.nightowlromance.com/nor/Reviews/Yadkny-reviews-Mac-Liam-by-Renee-Vincent.aspx">Night Owl Reviews</a>, the “<b>5 Heart Sweetheart Award</b>” from <a href="http://theromancestudio.com/reviews/reviews/macliamvincent.htm">The Romance Studio</a>, and the coveted reader-voted "<b>Book of the Week</b>" award from<a href="http://longandshortreviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/mac-liam-by-renee-vincent.html"> Long and Short Reviews</a>. <br />
<br />
The eagerly awaited conclusion to the "Emerald Isle Trilogy" can be found in <i>The Fall of Rain</i>, which released in December, 2011. Like the other works, the final book has also earned several <b>5 Star</b> reviews from <a href="http://www.romancing-the-book.com/2011/12/review-fall-of-rain-by-renee-vincent.html?spref=fb">Romancing The Book</a> and <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/244153142">Coffee Beans and Love Scenes</a>.<br />
<br />
Renee then created a stir among her devoted readers by releasing <i>The Temperate Warrior</i> in December 2012 which walked away with a <i>Reader's Choice Award</i> for <b>BEST OF TMP 2012</b>. It's the first book in her "Warrior Saga Series" and likewise has earned her a <b>5 Star TOP PICK</b> from <a href="http://www.nightowlreviews.com/V5/Reviews/Yadkny-reviews-The-Temperate-Warrior-by-Renee-Vincent" target="_blank">Night Owl Reviews</a> and <b>5 Blue Ribbons </b>from <a href="http://romancejunkiesreviews.com/artman/publish/historical/The_Temperate_Warrior.shtml" target="_blank">Romance Junkies</a>.<br />
<br />
After tackling the romance world, she has also branched out into the Chick Lit / Women's Fiction genre with her alter ego Gracie Lee Rose. Writing under this pseudonym, she has swept up another set of <b>5 Blue Ribbon</b> reviews from<a href="http://romancejunkiesreviews.com/artman/publish/contemporary/Jamett_and_Joseph_book_1_-_The_Start_of_Something_Good.shtml" target="_blank"> Romance Junkies</a> for her "Jamett & Joseph Series".<b> </b>The series begins with <i>The Start of Something Good</i>. Look for the continuation of this heartfelt and humorous couple in her upcoming 2014 releases of <i>The Road to Something Better</i> and <i>The Gift of Something Grand</i>. She predicts another 2014 release as well with <i>Where The Wind Blows, </i>a stand alone novel.<br />

"An action-packed tale, THE TEMPERATE WARRIOR, the first book in gifted author Renee Vincent’s WARRIOR SAGAS, is a witty, sensual historical romance. I could not put it down, staying up late into the night to finish it. However, the lack of sleep was worth it. Although he is a strong warrior, Gustaf also has his tender side and helps Æsa understand her value as a woman, the one he loves. Brimming with humor, passion, complex and compelling characters, an intriguing plot, witty repartee, suspense, danger, tender romance and a one-of-a-kind love, this beautifully written story is delicious. A definite keeper! As readers of her previous books can attest, Ms. Vincent writes wonderful stories that stay in your memory long after the book is closed. I enjoyed THE TEMPERATE WARRIOR immensely and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great story with plenty of heat, humor and heartfelt emotion. Do not miss it!"</div>

"Heartwarming, heart pounding, and spellbinding I can not find fault in this author’s work as she weaves each enchanting tale. The stories are beautiful and live in my mind long after having read them and they never fail to sadden me just a bit by their (albeit happy) end."</div>

"Vincent’s latest addition to her Emerald Isle Viking novels will satisfy those who have been waiting for Gustaf’s story. He’s the Viking warrior who is the older brother of Daegan, the hero in RAELIKSEN, book 1 in the Emerald Isle trilogy. Vincent writes well and has obviously done her research to accurately describe the culture of the Norsemen. You’ll enjoy this well written continuation of the story, though I do think you’ll find the second half more exciting than he first with some excellent fight scenes. (The first has quite a few steamy love scenes as Gustaf and Aesa reunite after a separation.) As always, there are side stories, and even a side romance for one of Gustaf’s warriors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**For the beginning of the romance between Gustaf and Aesa you’ll need to read MAC LIAM. And to understand that one, you’ll have to first read RAELIKSEN." </div>

Leif Dæganssen, an archeologist from Norway, is determined to trace back his Scandinavian roots as far as the Dark Ages and find proof of their existence on the Emerald Isle. After several years of living off the west coast of Ireland, he finally uncovers an ancient artifact—an intricately decorated chest with pagan carvings—buried beneath the very porch of his coastal cottage. Knowing it only confirms the presence of a glorified Norse-influenced settlement on Inis Mór, he’s determined to establish a link between himself and those who once inhabited the rugged isle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For as long as she can remember, Lorraine O’Connor has had dreams of a Norse warrior kissing her. And even though she’s never fully understood the reason for her vivid subconscious imagination, she welcomes the meaningless and wanton pleasure of being in a Viking’s protective embrace—until the day she meets that brazen Northman on an impulsive vacation trip to Ireland. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though blindsided by the relevance of her dreams and the strange familiarity of the man within them, Lorraine can’t help but feel a deep-seated intimacy toward Leif. And the more she gets to know him, the more she’s convinced they’ve shared a life together in a time long forgotten. Are the clues to their ancestral past hidden within the contents of the chest or buried deep within their hearts?</div>

"I didn't believe it was possible to take Daegan and Mara's incredible love story to another level, but I am extremely pleased to be wrong. The new paths with Leif and Lorraine and the journey back to some very memorable moments with Daegan and Mara are expertly crafted into one extraordinary story. The contemporary version of their fated and reincarnated love reads like new, but with a familiar comfort. All my senses were engaged upon reading this dramatic conclusion to the Emerald Isle Trilogy. The author is phenomenal in bringing to life the sights, sounds, and emotions through well researched descriptions and dialogue. Every word seemed to have a purpose in helping create a beautiful and poetic ending to an unforgettable trilogy. If you've never heard of the name Renee Vincent then you're missing out on quality reading that's worth every second of your undivided attention. It's an escapists dream and I will most certainly be back for more."</div>

"An ingenious ending to an amazing trilogy, THE FALL OF RAIN, the third novel in gifted author Renee Vincent’s EMERALD ISLE trilogy, is a contemporary romance that will capture your attention from the very first page. Although the previous two books in this series were historical romances, this contemporary novel fits in perfectly. I would advise readers to start with the very first novel in this series; RAELIKSEN, then read MAC LIAM and close it out with THE FALL OF RAIN. A beautifully written story, infused with passion, sexual tension, surprising plot twists, Ireland, reincarnation, an adrenaline-charged plot, humor and romance, this is one you will not soon forget. As Ms. Vincent alternates between the past and present, she brings both vividly to life in a way that only she can. This series has definitely made me a fan of Renee Vincent’s works and is the reason that her books are now on my ‘must read’ list. With the release of THE FALL OF RAIN, this series has become my all-time favorite. Do yourself a favor and do not miss it!"</div>

"I know for myself I enjoyed the first two books very much. So much so, that I was excited for the third book to come out. Little did I know what book three really had in store for me. OMG doesn’t even cover it. This is my absolute most favorite book of this series. Where the first two take place deep in the past, book three finds us in the present time. How does that work, you may be asking . . . well, I would have never thought it possible until I read it for myself. Taking present time activities and adding in flashbacks from centuries past, this book offers the reader everything; drama, romance, comedy and even mystery. People and things aren’t always what they seem. In fact, you may walk away from this book never looking at that moment of déjà vu the same again. Maybe, just maybe when something feels right . . .we should remember, just who are we to question it? If you enjoy historical romances and love a story with men you would love to sink your teeth into, this is your series to get lost in. Not an ounce of disappointment to found in the pages of these books."</div>

"If I was told I only had one word to describe The Fall of Rain (the entire Emerald Island Trilogy, for that matter), it would have to be "FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!" This story deserves so much more than just a 5 star rating, in my opinion. Renee Vincent weaves a tale of everlasting love that transcends the boundaries of time, adding just the right twists and turns to keep you guessing. The Fall of Rain is the perfect ending, wrapping the entire trilogy up into one perfect package. I'm honestly sad that it's over. I'm eagerly awaiting to see what literary gem Vincent has in store for us next.</div>

"If you fell in love with Dægan in the book Ræliksen then you wont be disappointed when you read The Fall of Rain. You will fall in love with Leif too. I was crying happy tears when I finished reading this book. Author Renee Vincent made this Dægan Lover very happy. I'm very happy how she ended this wonderful trilogy."</div>

Breandán Mac Liam, the strapping young hunter from Ireland’s lush forests, is in love with Mara, an ineligible beautiful princess. For seven long years, he has been vividly haunted by her memory, taunted by the throes of his heartache. And not even the thought of her marriage to a Northman can extinguish the fierce, burning desire running rampant through his heart and soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mara, the spirited Connacht princess, has no idea she is the object of the Irishman’s longing. She is living out her days on Inis Mór, raising a troubled son and trying to endure the cruel loneliness that afflicts her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ordered by the king on his deathbed, Breandán must return to Mara and bring her through the perilous lands of Connacht to fulfill her father’s last dying wish. But as their worlds collide, Breandán not only finds himself wrapped in the arms of Mara’s embrace, but thrown into a struggle to defend his honor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Mara caught between the family she loves and the father she knows, can Breandán uncover the mystery of her past and still protect her from a secret that threatens them all?</div>

"This is one fantastic historical. This is the second book in the Emerald Isle Trilogy and I am definitely going to go back and read the first one. Readers are transported back in time to a lush green land surrounded by beautiful rocky shores with imagery that practically surrounds you. Breandán is a perfect hero; from the beginning of the story there is no doubt as to the strength of his feelings toward Mara. He is hardworking and steadfast. He is perfect husband and father material, I wonder if he has any descendants I can look up? Mara truly is a princess and such a devoted mother. In all honesty I was expecting to feel some animosity towards her for the desperation she has led Breandán to but she never intentionally hurt him and my resentment disappeared before it had a chance to solidify. The secondary characters are as well-developed as the hunter hero and his royal lady. The story is vivid and the historical detail so impressive without bogging the plot or action down. It comes alive and winds its way into your heart. This is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical romance and I cannot wait to read the final book of the trilogy as this story has stayed with me days after I read the last word."</div>

"Much of this story is about choices and remembering the simple pleasures in life that sometimes get taken for granted as well as resolving to learn from past mistakes and then do better. I will admit to being skeptical that this story would capture me as much as the first had, but I was blown away by the awesomeness that is Mac Liam. Ms. Vincent surpassed all of my expectations with her impressive writing abilities, while offering more incites and revelations that will keep readers coming back for more. Readers should be warned of the emotional turmoil they will face once again while reading this incredible story. I eagerly anticipate the next story in this trilogy, yet already mourn the finality."</div>

"Mac Liam, the second book in the EMERALD ISLE TRILOGY, is a delightful historical romance. Amazing author Renee Vincent carries her readers off to another place and time, allowing them an escape from their own cares. Filled with love, plot twists, secrets, danger, steamy sensual love scenes, an interesting plot, complex, compelling characters and plenty of wit, this is a story you will hate to see end. If you enjoy this story, you will also want to read the first book in this trilogy, Ræliksen. Mara’s story, which originated in Ræliksen, is continued in Mac Liam. Having read both stories, I look forward to reading the next book in this exciting trilogy. Be sure to get your own copy. You won’t regret it!"</div>

"I will admit I was leery about reading this. After all the hype, I was worried I would end up being let down, as is often the case, especially with great historical romances. Boy, was I wrong this time! Mac Liam is everything one could hope for: great in the historical details, good romance, adventure and suspense to entertain, and even pulls off being as good as the first book (always hard to do). Renee Vincent has a talent, at least in these books, for placing us in the historical setting, explaining without lecturing or going over-board on the details and one comes out having learned about the time and people without realizing it. I am impressed that she also doesn’t use writing tricks like super characters, ie the heroine is a regular female for her time, and people die of mortal wounds when called for, even when we don’t want them to, luckily not in this book. I am very impressed with this series and can’t wait for the next book."</div>

"I have to admit, while I was exceptionally fond of Daegan in Book 1 of this series, Breandan held a special place in heart from the time he entered the story. To have a whole book dedicated to this man was sheer delight. If I liked (more than liked, actually) Daegan, I was head over heels for Breandan. As with the first book in this series, action, adventure and soul-melting romance abounds in MacLiam. It was quite natural to achieve a deep emotional attachment to both main and secondary characters alike. Another double thumbs up for Renee Vincent. If you haven't started this series, what are you waiting for?"</div>

Mara, the daughter of an Irish clansman, was raised to believe the men of the North are heathens - murderous pagans without a moral bone in their bodies. Despite warnings of the Northmen's raids, and the growing threat of another incursion, Mara is continually drawn to her favorite place - the River Shannon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dægan Ræliksen, a wealthy chieftain from Norway's frozen fjords, secretly discovers Mara at the water's edge. He is charmed by her beauty and sensuous grace. As the days pass, his contentment with simply watching her grows thin. He can no longer deny his unabated desire for the young maiden. His search for a wife has ended.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, Mara and Dægan come face-to-face in a time when Ireland is in turmoil - when every Irishman is being called up to fight against the Nordic foreigners. In these times of upheaval, how can Dægan make peace with Mara's father and acquire the woman he treasures? Furthermore, can Mara move past her fears and find the noble man within the savage?</div>

"Ræliksen, the first book in author Renee Vincent’s Emerald Isle Trilogy, is a fast-paced, action-packed historical romance, which Ms. Vincent brings to life right before your eyes. Enriched with vivid descriptions, well-drawn complex characters, an exhilarating plot, humor, plot twists, danger and sizzling romance, this story is realistic, historically accurate and unforgettable; a story you will remember long after the last page is read. I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading the sequel, Mac Liam, which comes out in December. I highly recommend Ræliksen to anyone looking for a terrific read."</div>

"If you are a fellow romance junkie, then picking up this book is a no-brainer. Vincent's descriptive writing style brings the tenth century and it's characters to life. Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster ride, as within the pages you will live and breathe their way of life--their journeys, struggles, joys, heartaches and most of all the deep love and devotion of Mara and Daegan to one another, as well as those they hold dear. Rich in history and packed with action and timeless romance, this is a MUST read for any lover of romance, historical or otherwise."</div>

"The author has done an excellent job of bringing the past back to life with her vivid characters. I do not know much about this era, but the historical detail is very impressive. The story itself is very involving, with vivid characters and an exciting plot. Her written descriptions are particularly well done and the reader will have no problem picturing settings and characters."</div>

"RÆLIKSEN is a love story that’s shaped not only by the land and the sky, but by the poignancy of a rich and brutal history. Renee Vincent doesn’t exploit this history, nor does she make light of it. It simply is what it is, and the facets are so intricately a part of the story that they exist as one. And therein lies the masterpiece. Every word of this story has meaning. Every moment leads to the next. Every word is simultaneously natural and brilliant, each one holding an unmistakable place in history with the telling of this tale."</div>
