Review by HollyNineteenth century Ireland. Blacksmith Gavin O’Malley is a bitter man, with a heart as hard as the iron he forges. He wants his life back—the one that was stolen from him the day his wife died in childbirth—taking their firstborn son with her.
When Aislinn Deirbhile, an immortal, shape-shifting fae, arrives on his doorstep, he knows he’s in luck. For Aislinn can give Gavin everything he’s been missing: A devoted-seeming wife in the image of his beloved Mairead, and children who are sure to outlive their father. Now, all he has to do is find a way to keep her—without losing his immortal soul in the process.
But Aislinn has an agenda of her own. On the run from a vengeful fae lord who’s vowed to either make her his or end her existence, she knows the iron that allows Gavin to take her captive will also keep her pursuers at bay. In order to put herself permanently beyond her enemy’s reach, however, Aislinn will need something more. She’ll need to win Gavin’s heart and convince him to willingly part with a piece of the very soul he’s trying to save.
Gavin O’Malley is a bitter and lonely man. He has been alone since his wife died in childbirth years ago. Into his life comes Aislinn Deirbhile, a shape shifting fae who can give Gavin back his wife. All she needs is a place she can be safe from the dark fae who wants to wed her and use her powers to extend Winter over the world. A druid has seen that Gavin O’Malley is the answer to Aislinn’s dilemma. He is a blacksmith, and if she can get in his home, the iron he uses in his livelihood will keep her inside. levitra pill Some human beings lose their legs or different limbs attributable to diabetes.

Will they be able to beat Tiernan and protect the world from everlasting Winter? And will Gavin learn to love again and accept Aislinn for who and what she is?
Iron is a tale of love lost, passion denied, and a reawakening of desire long buried. When Gavin first meets Aislinn, he doesn’t trust her, and when he learns what she is, he wants nothing to do with her. Aislinn is determined that nothing will keep her from having her way, even if it means transforming to the likeness of Gavin’s dead wife and seducing him. It is this ability that convinces Gavin to let her stay.
I loved the setting of this story, and P. G. Forte makes it come to life so well. Both Gavin and Aislinn are well defined and intriguing characters, with many layers to their personalities. I love that as the story goes on, Aislinn convinces Gavin that anything agreed upon in their bed is acceptable, as long as they both agree. And I also loved that Gavin came to appreciate Aislinn for herself, needing her to be his wife as herself. The sex is sizzling, and more so because of the time setting. There are tears and laughter here, and the happy ever after is an unusual one. If you enjoy magic and history, this is the book for you.
