Forget about the cold and distant bastard who did anything (and whoever for that matter), as he pleases. She consumed him. His thoughts, dreams, works of art and every fibre down to his soul. He was battling this raging war between his conscience and heart as his obsession was the exact thing that was holding him back from her.
Kate:
She's trying hard to avoid his stormy gray eyes watching her every move. He makes her uncomfortable as he stares from across the room with his scowling face. Unfortunately, getting over the biggest crush of her life is easier said than done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Donovan is the second book in the funny, sweet and steamy Lucky Irish series about the love lives of several Irish families in Austin, Texas. Each book is a new sexy romance but lets us also catch up with favorite characters from the series.
No cheating, no cliffhangers and definitely a HEA.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Whilst reading this, I did go through a gamut of emotions towards Donovan as he is not an easy character to fall in love with. He has an instant attraction for Kate but keeps his distance from her. He barely talks or looks at her and when he does he appears disinterested and cold towards her. Kate's attraction for him was instant as well but she doesn't feel she has a chance, particularly given his womanising ways.
Donovan's first interactions with Kate were around protecting her from her sister's stalker ex. Unfortunately he finds it really difficult to let go of protecting her, leading to some bad decisions and having him come across as stalkerish himself. His actions are unjustifiable but you can kind of understand and empathise a little around them. I think it helps that Kate is a strong, independent woman, despite coming across as lacking in confidence. She calls him out and stands up to him, causing him to rethink his approach.
Difficult and challenging at times to relate to and to like Donovan, however, Anna Castor did a good job of walking the line and bringing the reader down on the side of Donovan in the end. This could have easily ended up a completely different read.
