Irish Kisses
book two
JoAnne
Kenrick
Devlin Kinney is focused on his Irish Rock band, Shamrocked.
Between that and tending bar at Bell's Irish Pub, he's rushed off his feet.
Still, he's envious of Shaun who found his perfect woman through Madame Eve's
exclusive agency, 1Night Stand.
Pushed for time, he follows his friend's lead and hopes to
be matched with a woman ballsy enough to share in his fetish for things that go
buzzzz.
At the event of the year for soap stars, Elizabeth Grant
meets Devlin and mistakes him for her soon-to-be co-star on The East End.
Before she has a chance to confess she's not his 1Night Stand as he seems to
think, the silver-tongued smooth dancer proves irresistible. He seems
perfect...for one night of pleasure. She's ready to play the role of her life!
Will his Irish charm and toys be enough to hold onto his
leading lady, or will his heart be shamrocked into next week?
“How come every
song picked tonight seems ta be in the soundtrack from Liz Grant’s movie? I’m
telling ya, this is not good for me soul. I’m like a whiney sick puppy. Sandra,
hows about ya read me some smut from a book?” -- Devlin
Kinney, Shamrocked, Irish Kisses book two.
Reckon we listen to
some more tunes instead, you think?
It always
fascinates me to hear songs my favorite authors listen to while writing their
books, and I always click to play when they pop up in my newsfeed on Facebook
or Twitter. There’s just something about knowing what set the mood for a scene
that really intrigues me. Often, if I haven’t read the book yet, I will listen
along to the same songs in the authors playlist to see if i can sense the
musical inspiration in their work.
Here’s the
soundtrack I played while writing different scenes in Shamrocked.
Kiss Me, I’m Irish:
Devlin comes across as a player, but he really
isn’t. He may run around kissing all the pretty girls. But that’s as far as it
goes. He’s been single since leaving his fiance back in Northern Ireland. She
broke his heart...and his will to find--and put up with--love again. This song
represented his cocky front put on for the punters of Bell’s Irish Pub.
Linger: The lovely Liz lingers on Devlin...she makes quite the first
impression don’t you know?
What Can I Do To
Make You Love Me? This is a song for both Devlin and Liz -- we all
know, you can’t make someone love you. Nor can you help who you fall in love
with. The light beat and often ‘down on love’ lyrics seems a perfect match for
this pair. I played this song a lot while writing the first four or so
chapters. In fact, I played a lot of The Corrs for the whole book.
Never Met A Girl
Like You Before: This is the finale, the big finish. I can’t say
too much here, as I don’t want to spoil it for ya. But let’s just say this song
gets a play through Bell’s Irish Pub’s juke box.

Excerpt:
Surrounded by bridesmaids—the hottest guy in the place. His
thick Irish brogue carried over the chattering wedding crowd and bad party
songs.
Swallowing any signs of stage fright, she checked her fake
hair in a mirrored wall, plumped her boobs, and plastered on a smile before
making a beeline for her drop-dead gorgeous, future co-star.
She waded through the rough sea of pink-chiffoned up women, snapped
out her arm, and took his hand like one of those shaking weight things. Thought
she’d blown it until his mouth tilted up into a tempting smile. Dimples. Oh,
my. He would be popular with the ladies. Might even help get her noticed by
movie producers. Dating this hottie would get her on every front page known to
the British public.
“Liz.” She fought to keep focused on his face rather than
his thick muscles and rhythmic movements. She couldn’t recall ever seeing a man
who could make dancing to All Night Long by Lionel Ritchie so goddamned sexy.
His jig was infectious—her arm swayed in beat with his, their hands still
clasped together.
“As in Elizabeth?”
“Uh-huh.” The swarm of bridesmaids knitted their brows and
pursed their lips. One even stamped her foot. Liz couldn’t help but turning on
a sweet smile. “Buh-bye, ladies.”
