OMELGWDIJR!! 

 

WOW!! I don’t know how to feel right now. This story was absolutely amazing. I consumed every single word on every page. I’ll try to write this without spoilers. 

 

Anna’s father reaches out to her, asking her to come to the Irish Rose Casino. Her father, Declan, had deposited a significant "moving expenses" amount into her bank account. So she packed up and headed to West BG Virginia. 

 

When Anna arrived, she first met King, one of four protective and trustworthy men working for Declan, in his "Dec." King took her to his office to talk in private and informed Anna that her father had been murdered, and that she was now an heir of the Casino, along with King and his three brothers: Jack, Joker, and Ace. Anna was now the queen of the Irish Rose and soon to learn the Queen of these four men, who believed that sharing was definitely caring. 

 

These men were a huge green flag. They wouldn’t let anyone hurt Anna; one of them was always by her side, or at least somewhere in that vicinity. They were all respectful and open about everything. Okay, here’s the neon green flag, They always made sure to ask for consent! No matter what was happening, even right there in the elevator a few times. 

 

I didn’t expect to write this much, but I can’t say it enough—this story was the best! I went in blind, not knowing that Declan had passed away. So you can imagine my reaction, full-blown tears. This book joins the very short list of books that have made me cry. Lucky number 5. 

 

Thank you Elanore, you’ve pulled me into every single one of your books.
