    There’s something about the Douglass family. Until now, my favorite of Sally Tyler Hayes’ Division One novels was Dangerous to Love starring Jamie Douglass and Dan Reese.

It has the hallmarks one expects from a Nora Roberts book – well-developed characters, great dialogue, and a quaint Irish setting to boot. Readers who have been anxiously awaiting this installment won’t be disappointed. The first book in this trilogy, Jewels…
