The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy | Discussion

Jun. 30, 2021

The Cousins ODwyer Trilogy at Wickedly Romance

After reading and rereading all three books I thought it would be fun to discuss the series and the books. Plus to maybe mention somethings that bothered me about the books. First and foremost let me say I loved the series. IT was great but there were a few things that I wanted more information on. Also, if you haven’t read the series and plan on reading it STOP READING THIS POST NOW!! There will be some spoilers mentioned (I will attempt to not go into great detail) and it could ruin this for you. If you have read the series lets discuss it.

LAST WARNING

SPOILERS AHEAD – Reading Beyond Here At Your Own Risk.

The Ending of the Series

I hated the ending of the series. I felt that we got ripped off in some way. We need more, at least something that gave us more than just everything was over. I don’t know I just felt like there was more that could have been said. I really wanted a little look into the future or honestly anything.

Fin’s Heritage

This was such a huge part of the series and when it finally comes out, it makes sense but then some other things get hinted at. Sorcha mentions that Fin is Daithi and then tells him the truth of his heritage. Then her daughter, Brannuagh, say Fin is like like her own husband. So I wonder if they were connected in that way as well? Was Brannuagh’s husband somehow a relation to Fin or not? Were Fin and Branna more or less a reincarnation of Sorcha and Daithi? I mean there were so many questions let unanswered there.

Daithi

I hated that we didn’t get more of him. The bits we do get are so intense. You can feel his love for Sorcha coming off the pages from the first moment we hear him speak to her. Yet, we never see him come to his children in any way. He never comes to anyone after his death. There is a thought that he came as a stag once to help but it’s just a thought. Fin sees him but it as he is dying. I just would have loved more of him.

Picky Readers

I know this makes me sound like one of those super picky readers. I will admit there are times when I feel like I am. However with this series I just felt there was stuff that got left out somehow. Things that seemed or were discussed as important but not expanded on. The series it self was amazing, I just needed more.

Let’s Discuss

If you have read this series and have thoughts about anything, please leave a comment below. I promise I will be answering all of these comments and we will have a discussion.

    I love Nora Roberts but I absolutely cannot stand to get invested in a series and then be let down in the end. That will drive me crazy! Thank you for sharing!

    I have read the books. I will agree with you about the ending, just too abrupt. But overall an excellent trip into that world.

    I haven’t read any of the stories from this series so I did skip past the spoilers. I have read Nora Roberts in the past though so I know that she is a talented author and as such, I am adding these titles to my TBR

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
