A review from Amazon: Captivating

During the time of the Irish Potato Famine, young Riona Connolly takes a post at the clinic of handsome doctor Lucien Woulfe. She is overwhelmed by his kindness to her; he is awed by her intelligence and beauty.

But their growing friendship and attraction to each other is frowned upon in the straight-laced society of Victorian Dublin, where social status is everything, and the plight of the poor of little concern to the upper classes.

Riona shakes the very foundations of Lucien’s world as one by one she exposes his sister-in-law Antionette, (Lucien’s former fiancee), and many of his colleagues, as the selfish and deceitful frauds they really are.

Even more cataclysmic, though, is the fiery passion the two of them share. Appalled at his lack of control around Riona, Lucien tries to resist her charms. But the fire between them and within Riona’s heart refuses to be quenched.

From the moment the couple meet amid a huge storm, we know they are made for one another, but will have a tempestuous road ahead of them. The author takes us with the couple every step of the way, drawing a fascinating portrait of one of the darkest times in Irish history, and the brightest love between two captivating characters.

The author’s ability to depict people, settings and events is remarkable, making every word of this novel a pleasure to read.
