REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:
A thoroughly enjoyable read, The Maiden of Ireland has the potential of a great saga (think Outlander). John Wesley Hawkins is an English spy being manipulated by his Lord Protector and meets the pridefully strong Caitlin McBride as he carries out a mission that is directly in opposition of Caitlin. Wiggs weaves in some nice historical details and persons into the plot, giving The Maiden of Ireland a little more historical depth than a typical historical romance. It’s a must-read for any historical romance lover – but also has the potential to appeal to other genres.
