BOOK SUMMARY
ONE LAST
CHANCE
Deirdre
Murphy has had her life planned for her since she was born: Work in her
parents’ noisy pub in rural Ireland. Live with her family until she marries.
Marry her childhood sweetheart ASAP, since he’s decided sexy fun time should
wait for marriage. None of it excites her. But before her fate closes in,
Deirdre’s got one last visit to her Chicago cousins—where she can spend her
mornings in a peaceful bakery, keep to herself, and savor the space she needs….
Until she meets Tommy O’Malley.
Tommy is as
tough as his city and twice as ready to welcome her in. He’s covered in
tattoos, stays up half the night inking them on other people, and has a
reputation for being good with his hands. And he’s heart-pounding,
forgot-her-words, can’t-stop-staring exciting.
Tommy knows
he’s the opposite of everything Deirdre has prepared for. But to watch her set
herself free, he’s willing to risk almost anything…

EXCERPT
Deirdre tried
to turn over, but felt trapped. Between her churning stomach and a warm body
next to her, she didn’t want to move. Warm body? Her eyes flew open in panic. A
tattooed arm wrapped around her waist. Tommy. Pieces of her night came back to
her. What had she done?
Tommy
snuggled against her, his breath fluttering her hair. His erection pressed into
her back. Then she remembered why she’d come here last night. She’d wanted to
have sex with Tommy. He pulled away and the mattress shifted as he stretched.
She was afraid to move, unsure how bad the pain would be. She ran a hand over
her body to discover she still wore her clothes from last night.
“How’re you
feeling?”
His voice was
low and rough and sexy.
The first two
adequately described her. “I think something died in my mouth.”
He chuckled.
“That happens when you mix a bunch of booze and then puke.”
Crap. She had
puked. She groaned. “You held my hair.”
He sat up,
patted her hip. “Having a little sister teaches you about those things. Sit
tight.”
She had no
plans to go anywhere. Reclosing her eyes, she tried to bring back more of her
evening. Maggie, Cara, and Alyson had plied her with drinks all night. They’d
danced a lot. She’d flirted with men. A lot of them. She had not been herself.
Further evidence of that was the fact that she was in Tommy’s bed.
She couldn’t
imagine the stupid things she’d said to him last night. The bedroom door swung
open and Tommy was back. He set some clothes at the foot of the bed.
“I borrowed
clothes from Norah, and there’s a toothbrush. Take a shower. You’ll feel
better. I’m going to get us some food.”
Her stomach
clenched. “God, no.”
“Trust me.”
He stood next to her, handed her a glass of water and some pills. “Take these.”
She levered
herself up on an elbow, putting her eye level with his crotch. His penis had
made quite the impression on her back. She accepted the glass and pills. After
swallowing, she swung her legs over the edge and let her head hang on her
shoulders.
Tommy moved
around the room. “Make sure you lock the bathroom door so Sean doesn’t walk in
on you.” He paused in front of her again, fully dressed. Then he kissed the top
of her head. “I’ll be back. Don’t go anywhere.”
She barely
lifted her head to look at him. “I’m in no hurry to face Aunt Eileen.”
“Maggie said
she’ll assume you spent the night at her house, so no worries.”
“When did you
talk to Maggie?”
“After you
fell asleep.” He pulled on his shoes. “Hope you don’t mind. I used your phone.
You should probably have a passcode on that, by the way. I figured your aunt
would worry about you not coming home.”
If Deirdre
had been in her right mind, she
probably would’ve worried. “Thank you.”
He smiled.
“No problem.” Then he grabbed his keys from the dresser and left.
Deirdre felt
weird sitting in Tommy’s room, especially when he wasn’t there. The room wasn’t
very homey. Minimal furniture filled the space. A flat screen was mounted above
the dresser. The bed took up most of the space. It was much larger than the one
she slept on across the street.
Thoughts of
her last visit barged into her pounding head and she shook them off. Only mentally,
though, because moving her head hurt far too much. She grabbed the clothes and
toothbrush and poked her head out. Sean’s door was still closed.
In the
bathroom, she brushed her teeth twice and slurped some water. She still felt
gross, so she brushed again. Starting the shower, she fought the awkward
feeling of being in a stranger’s house naked. She’d never been in this position
before. She’d had friends who talked about the walk of shame, but being a
virgin in a serious relationship, she hadn’t experienced it. More firsts in
Chicago.
CAT'S REVIEW
"Through Your Eyes" by Shannyn Schroeder is a story that is heartwarming and family filled. Tommy and Deirdre certainly share some sparks but will it lead to a HEA? Tommy is the perfect book boyfriend - I really adored him. He's sweet and kind and really, really hot! :) Deirdre is friendly and nice but, for some reason, I just didn't love her. I didn't hate her, just thought she was just ok. I did enjoy the two together. They complemented each other perfectly. What I did absolutely love about this story (and series), is the big Irish family. Family is such a large part of the characters lives and the plots that it certainly makes the heart smile. The interactions between the family members was lively and a big part of this story. This is a part of a series, and, although this one can be read as a stand alone, it probably would be beneficial to read the previous books as the characters are mentioned throughout and it would help give you a good background to all the characters involved. I have read the previous books and have enjoyed them too. Ms. Schroeder certainly writes stories that takes the reader on journeys of love, family and heartwarming tales.
