Sweet Dreams (Jack Dillon Dublin Tales Book 2) (affiliate link)
It’s official: U.S. Marshal Jack Dillon is temporarily on loan to the Garda Síochána Special Detective Unit, helping to smoke out the Russian crime boss responsible for the murders of two of their own in a shoot-out at the airport. Jack was wounded in the gun battle, but he did bring down down three mobsters. He’s definitely on the mend now, as his sexy nurse Lin will attest – with a big smile.
In this action-packed sequel to Welcome, the first humorous Dublin Tale by Mike Faricy, one of the mob families has sworn revenge. And so, with a price on Jack’s head, the Garda uses him to bait a trap for the bad guys. Faricy’s funny charm shows up in the good-natured joshing among Jack and the new Irish friends who’re protecting him. With round-the-clock security and a dog for protection – how could he screw this up, right? He will – with style and humor. Hint: like his American cousin Dev, Jack has a tendency to take his eye off the bad guy to admire a beautiful lady. And under certain circumstances, a whole roomful of Russian mobsters might be less dangerous to him than one pretty face and figure.
Long have we been alone.
Without brides, without females to warm us during the long nights. Without sweet mates. But we see them, from afar, brides that could be ours. Kept away from us by walls and weapons.
Females we long for greatly.
Obsessively.
Human females.
And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first. I will fight to the death for her. She is MINE.
So, we’ll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all.
After that? To the winner goes the spoils… Let the hunt begin.

Catherine played it safe with book boyfriends—until Kellan, her nemesis, writes himself into her story.
Let’s not talk about how I was let go from my job and had to take a position as coffee-girl at a publicity firm. We definitely won’t discuss their newest client and how he was the former love of my life. However, it’s fair to mention that Kellan Connelly is now my fiercest adversary.
I’ve spent the last decade playing it safe with book boyfriends—avoiding frustratingly attractive and three-dimensional guys like him.
When my roommate finds the Boyfriend Book, a silly relic leftover from my teens, it prompts a dare; go on five dates and pick one to be my Valentine. I can’t say no, especially if it means proving to myself and Kellan that I’ve moved on.
They have a dangerous past. They just haven’t lived it yet.
