Overall Content Rating: Restricted R
The story follows a graduate student and her friends drawn into Celtic-tinged magic and a high-stakes quest in modern Ireland, with a prominent romantic storyline and recurring physical intimacy between the main couple. Language includes regular mild and moderate swearing in everyday and stressful situations. Parents should know that sexual content is a major thread for many readers: kissing, desire, and explicit intimate scenes are part of the romance arc, alongside fantasy battles, injuries, and supernatural threats that intensify over the book. Reader opinions differ on how graphic or frequent the intimacy feels, but the sampled text and many notes point to clearly on-page sexual content rather than a purely clean read.

Sex Heavy
This paranormal romance centers on strong attraction between the leads. Sample text and many reader notes describe physical intimacy on the page, including intercourse and related body contact, not only fade-to-black. Some readers describe the scenes as detailed or frequent enough to distract from the plot, while a few say they found little or no explicit content; parents should expect recurring romantic and sexual material.
About this book
From New York Times Bestselling author, Tricia O’Malley, comes a riveting magickal romance set in modern day Dublin. Clare MacBride has her life in exactly the order she wants it. In a year, she’ll have finished her geology dissertation, though she’s no closer to figuring out the answer to one question that plagues her. Why does she feel stones pulse with energy? A centuries-old curse, a mysterious faction of protectors, and a mythological godstone all sound like old world fairytale nonsense to Clare. It only takes one rainy evening with a silver-eyed fae and a handsome stranger promising protection to rock her world forever. With her life plans shattered at her feet, the lines of science and fiction blur as Clare is forced to throw everything she knows about the world out the window and look deep within her heart for answers.
