Devlin by Barbara Freethy ~ New Release & Review


Winning her heart may be biggest prize of all...
Devlin by Barbara Freethy is available now!
As the second Blackthorne son, Devlin usually likes to stay out of the family drama, but with his family suddenly falling apart, he has one way to bring them back together. He wants to win the Southern Maine Sailing Invitational, like his father and uncle before him. He has built the fastest boat, he has planned for every contingency, except one…a beautiful blonde determined to beat him and avenge a family betrayal. Hannah Reid is tired of watching the Blackthornes win races on boats built by her dad, especially after the family patriarch fired her father. She has only one way to get revenge, win the race. Unfortunately, Devlin Blackthorne is standing in her way. She wants to hate him, but Devlin’s love of the sea and brave, adventurous spirit mirrors her own, and she begins to realize that this sexy, charming man is hurting, too. As they race to the finish, battling not only betrayal, but also strong winds and unexpected storms, Hannah and Devlin wonder if winning each other wouldn’t be the greatest win of all…

Elizabeth's Review


3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time




Review Copy Provided by Author


This was an entertaining, quick read to introduce the Blackthorne family. In this installment we meet Devlin and his love interest Hannah.

There is a lot going on here as Devlin's book not only tells his story as he reconnects with "little" Hannah, but also introduces us at least briefly to all of his brothers and cousins who we will be seeing in future books in the series. Ms Freethy does an excellent job of balancing the Blackthorn family dynamics and the growing friendship/relationship between the couple.

I enjoyed getting to know both Devlin and Hannah. They are both interesting characters and go through a bit of "what do I want from life" emotional growth. My one real complaint about Devlin, is that I really wanted to book to be a little longer so we could have had a more in depth look at the characters individually and as a couple.

I am very curious to see where the series is headed next.
