Proper Irish (Jaded Lily #1)Proper Irish by Zeia Jameson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Proper Irish is the fantastic first book in the Jaded Lily series by Zeia Jameson. I had not previously read any of this authors work and I have to hand it to her, I absolutely loved this book. If this first book in the series is anything to go by then this series is going to be right up there among my favourites.
The story centres around Stella Rosencourt who as an events planner is planning a St Patrick’s Day event for the local mayor who originates from Ireland. Unfortunately the mayor’s wife is a complete bitch and making Stella’s life hell. Add to that the mayor’s son Padraig has taken an immediate dislike to Stella. When Stella asks for Padraig’s help to make the event as authentically Irish as possible sparks are soon flying between the 2. As much as they dislike each other, they can’t deny the attraction.
I loved this story and devoured it all in one sitting. Padraig and Stella are amazing characters who are very well written. Padraig comes across as very abrupt and unpleasant to begin with but we soon get to see the much softer, charitable side of him. The interactions between the 2 can be quite entertaining to say the least. The secondary characters add a lot to the story. In particular I loved Padraig’s mum Moira. We are also introduced to Stella’s best friend Kerry and Padraig’s friend Luca who runs the tattoo shop, Jaded Lily, who seem to have hit it off too.
I already have the next book Proper Ink, which is Luca and Kerry’s story on my kindle and I can’t wait to dive in. If it’s anything like this book then I’m sure I’ll be loving that one too.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Proper Irish was quite the little tale and I for the most part really enjoyed my time with Padraig and Stella. I will be upfront about it though and say that a few things just fell a bit short for me personally. I struggled to connect and fall for with Padraig. He is a hot head and honestly I would have given up well before Stella. Heck she gave him all the chances, to which I will say made her shine as a strong-willed and fierce woman. She definitely held her own with Padraig and was probably the only one that could.

The overall writing and storyline was good however and I did enjoy the overall book once I was said and done. The characters did eventually grow on me and by the end I too found myself rooting for Stella and Padraig. Zeia Jameson was a new author to me though, and this is a first novel in a series so I simply see it as room to grow and chances for improvement. I enjoyed it enough to be back for more with book two. Overall a solid four star read from a new author is definitely not something to complain about!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Proper Irish by Zeia Jameson is a great quick read! This book is a total 5 out of 5 stars. I wish I had read this lying on the beach! You jump right into Stella’s life as an event planner and immediately find out that she is good at her job and has great intentions. She is kind and has proper manners, at least until Padraig comes into her life. Her fire shines and her confidence soars during her interactions with him. Padraig’s character comes of super standoffish and intimidating but something keeps pulling Stella back. I really enjoyed the flow of this book, it took me on a journey of a brief period of time in Stella’s life. I loved that the history and descriptions were brief but efficient enough to build a world. I loved Padraig’s character, the development and confidence was a breath of fresh air. He looks like your typical alpha but has a depth to him that is unexpected.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Proper Irish was a great 5 star read and book one in the Jaded Lily series.
This is my first read from this author, I was pulled right in.

Stella is an event planner, she is getting ready for a big event for the mayor. When she falls in front of Padraig and he fails to help her, she is determined to find out why he treats her so badly. When she learns the truth, things change for her. It took me a bit to like Padraig, but eventually he pulled me in.

Can these two have a HEA?

Overall this enemies to lovers read was great. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, they were made for each other. Stella was a strong and determined character. Both characters had my emotions all over the place. The detail the author used was great, you felt like you were right there. The locations were great. The secondary characters added a great element to the story as well.

Proper Irish
By: Zeia Jameson
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Proper Irish (Jaded Lily Book 1) by Zeia Jameson was a pretty okay read that kept me reading.

My first read by this author, I took a chance because this book seemed right up my ally, and I’ve been wanting a good romance to kick start the heart. I fell pretty easy into this book, it read well and had a pretty good setup, and storyline. But, I felt that the characters weren’t as developed as they could have been, and at times the tone felt a little too teenage like, like it read more like a YA at times, than an adult book. That pulled me out of the story and frankly, it was a tab bit annoying.

Other then that, I did very much enjoy this read, it read fairly fast and I loved the misunderstanding with the two MC’s, and how they both had skewed vision of one another. These redemption type books always get me, cause they usually have fun drama and banter that keeps you reading and grinning. This book was no different, and like I said, even though I had some issues, it kept me engaged, grinning and it kept me there.

To end this book gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval

Happy Reading

Stella Rosencourt is the premier event coordinator of Savannah’s elite. With her biggest event of the year ahead – the Mayor’s St. Patrick’s Day ball – she has little time for distractions. But the mysterious Padraig MacNamara and his lush Irish accent are definitely proving to be a distraction.

Padraig MacNamara is an inked enigma. A man of few words who crashes in the back room of the Jaded Lily tattoo parlor and associates with questionable people around town. Stella is convinced he has a vendetta against her but over what, she doesn’t know. Her instincts are warning her to stay away. Her curiosity is begging her to figure him out.

What happens when you’re wickedly attracted to the person you hate the most?

Proper Ink (Jaded Lily #2)Proper Ink by Zeia Jameson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Proper Ink is the second book in the Jaded Lily series by Zeia Jameson and I recommend that you read the first book Proper Irish as you are missing a lot of background information/story and there will be a disconnect with the characters. I absolutely love this series and even though there are times of sadness it had me laughing out loud.

Luca is going through the motions of living life, but he is stuck and not sure how to move on. Kerry loves life and works herself to the bone and has just what the doctor has ordered, but she will need to pull out all the stops, to fight for a chance at happiness.

Both books are a must read. Zeia works magic when writing romances and makes you feel part of the story and connected to these wonderful characters.

Proper Irish (Jaded Lily Book 1) by Zeia Jameson

5 Stars

This is my 2nd book by this author and I loved this one as much as I did the first. I think what I loved about this book the most is that there was no hidden hurtful pasts or bad relationships that caused these two to guard their hearts leaving the road wide open for these two to get to know each other….Although that will be hard to do when it seems they totally despise each other.

This was such a fun read, I read it in one sitting and completely fell in love with these characters, Padraig is the mayor’s son and although he loves his Dad, he can’t even come close to stomaching Victoria, the woman he is married to. He lives part time with his Mam, and the other part of the time he lives in a room at the Jaded Lily, a tattoo shop. He is a very generous and loving person to most people and I fell in love with him from the beginning, even with him being so hateful to some, I knew there had to be a reason.

Stella is an event coordinator working for a company that is handling the mayors St. Patrick’s Day ball. Her boss has begun acting really weird and has made it almost impossible to keep her job. She can’t seem to please her or the Mayor’s wife during the planning of this ball and it is weighing on her terribly, and to top it off she is dealing with a gorgeous man full of tattoos who can’t seem to do or say anything to her besides calling her stupid.

This story had such an easy flow and the storyline was fantastic, I love how it did not drag on and it wasn’t filled with any fluff that wasn’t needed for the story to play out. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, Luca and Kerry were an awesome part of this book and I hope that Padraig and Stella are still an awesome part of theirs.

Loved it!!!

Proper Irish By Zeia Jameson is the second book I have read by this ​author and is a beautifully written romance story ​with ​a sassy and strong heroine, and an sexy Irish hero​. I enjoy Zeia’s tales, her writing style, setting the scenes and wonderful characters. ​I found myself swooning after ​Padraig, ​a hot brash man that was more bark than bite, laughing at Stella and her offsider and wanting to smack others at times. It was good to see justice served where warranted. ​The story was fun with a touch of mystery. Who doesn’t love an Irish accent?

I enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book of this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fin is trying to make up for the pain she has caused by staying out of trouble and showing she can be responsible. Fin finds herself trying to keep her younger sister from making bad choices just like she did and hoping one day that she will be forgiven for that one tragic night. But whilst Fin is trying to do that she is suppressing who she really is. Not only does the town need to forgive her but she needs to forgive herself and maybe, just maybe the new guy in town could be the one to do it. Will Fin risk it all and reveal her past and that one tragic night? Will her past be the one thing that ruins what he thinks of her? Will it stop her from moving forward? Will it make him run? Will Fin find the forgiveness she seeks.

Sawyer is new to town, he is hiding from something and is trying to lay low, trying to stay out of trouble. Sawyer decides risking it all, risking being discovered is worth it when he meets a beautiful woman. He knows he should stay away and he wants to stay away, to keep her safe, but he just doesn’t know how. Being with her could be the one thing that reveals his existence and brings trouble to the doorstep of those he cares about. Will Sawyer risk it all and reveal his past and what he is running from? Will his past be the one thing that ruins what she thinks of him? Will it stop him from moving forward? Will it make her run? Will they be able to stay away from trouble or will trouble find them?

Zeia is a good writer who is able to pull you into her story and make you feel for the characters. There is some mystery, suspense and romance all rolled up into one. It is an easy read and an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
