The Good McCoy Lad

Sometimes a person can be too well behaved.  

About the Book:  Colin McCoy is the good son, the one who's spent most of his life living down the reputation of his womanizing brother Padraig left behind after he was exiled from the family home in Tipperary Ireland.

    When he meets smart and beautiful Fiona Leary, daughter of his father's titled employer, Colin immediately falls in love and all good sense flies out the window. He'll court her properly, of course. What else is there for a good boy to do?

    No one is aware of Colin's secret longings. How long will it be before the good McCoy lad follows in his big brother's scandalous footsteps?  

Our Review: Whether it’s set on a far-off planet, a Louisiana plantation, or the remote Carpathian mountains, no one writes a family saga better than Toni v. Sweeney. Colin, the dutiful and respectful son, longs for adventure—and for somewhere other than County Tipperary. His devoted Fiona helps him in those longings; together they create their own adventures in their own ways.

We look forward to the next in the McCoy family saga—this one set in post Civil War America—to see how Colin achieves his dreams as well as learning how the long-absent Padraig has turned his life around.

On a scale of 1-5, The Good McCoy Lad deserves a 5.
