  The first book in The Unfaithful Series

  Reviews:

  If you like your novels steamy, this is a great little find. Definitely a lot of bedroom action, considering that the main male character has four women on the go at once! Obviously there's a lot of cheating going on and that means that most of the characters you'll find yourself hating at some point. That's pretty obvious! But the story really got me emotionally involved. I'd find myself saying to my husband, "You'll never guess what this total scumbag's up to now!" while he was trying to read his own book, like it was someone we both knew! ~ Lacey Dearie, Amazon

  I loved this book, I can't say it enough! The whole book is well written and has you entwined from the beginning. The lives of all these women are so different, but one man brings them together. Then they get sweet revenge, and Mark never saw it coming! While Rebecca, Shona, and Penelope form a bond through the rough times. The one question I'm left with is does Colm ever find out about the affair? Another book maybe??

  The perfect ratio of love, sex and storyline, I highly recommend this book. ~ Katy, Amazon

  Synopsis

  Four scorned women, one adulterous man and the price he has to pay for their revenge. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

  Penelope Garrett has had enough of being treated badly by the men in her life and is determined to seek revenge when her latest boyfriend lets her down.

  Rebecca McNamara thinks she has the perfect marriage but when she discovers her husband’s dark secrets her idyllic life comes crashing down around her.

  Four scorned women, one adulterous man and the price he has to pay for their revenge. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

  Revenge

  The second book in The Unfaithful Series

  By Joanne Clancy

  Synopsis:

  Revenge is a story of treachery and betrayal...

  Mark McNamara is a lying, cheating adulterer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, but is he being framed for a crime he did not commit?

  Somebody has plotted to kill the women with whom he was intimately involved and all the evidence points to Mark.

  Nothing will stop the pursuit of justice and nobody is off limits but who is the true mastermind behind the extraordinary cover up?

  Reviews for Revenge:

  Oh wow. This book had me on the edge of my seat. We pick up a little while after the first book, Unfaithfully Yours, with all of the women working together in the business and Mark is still there as the photographer whether any of them particularly like it or not. His wife had their baby boy and was recovering from depression. Someone put a hit out on the women right from the first chapter... Was it Mark who wants revenge for what was done to him and all that he has lost? Or is someone framing him for the attempted murders? This story starts with a bang and never slows down even near the end. As the reader you are left wondering if this was all really how things went down or if it is a grave misunderstanding and they need to find the culprit. We will have to wait until the third book to find out it seems.

  The book was very good! Interesting and intriguing the whole way through! Can't wait for the next book in the set! Or her next book in general!! The author offered me a kindle copy of the book in exchange for an honest review and honestly I loved this one and am ready for the next one! ~Megan, Amazon

  The characters were well developed and none of them will ever be the same after. They were scarred for life.

  This was a fast paced novel and one that you can't put down. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, "Web of Deceit" (third book in the series), to be out in early 2013.

  Web of Deceit

  The third book in The Unfaithful Series

  Synopsis:

  GREED, BETRAYAL, LIES!

  What happens when love goes horribly wrong? Find out in this story of crime and retribution.

  Mark McNamara was found guilty of soliciting an assassin to kill his wife and her two business partners so he could inherit millions. How far was he prepared to go to get his hands on the money?

  The sensational courtroom drama gripped readers with extraordinary revelations of the plot to kill: allegations of greed, the internet search to find an assassin, the manufacture of poison, and its subsequent discovery in the assassin’s prison cell.

  Web of Deceit reveals how Mark became caught up in such an unimaginable story. He’s done his time, but was it for a crime he did not commit? Was justice truly served? Mark is a free man once again and is back with a vengeance. He has a new focus but unknown enemies. He has a score to settle and is determined to take down the people who were involved in the conspiracy against him. But there’s more to the story than he realises. Will he get the answers he needs before it’s too late?

  Secrets & Lies

  Book 1 in The Secrets & Lies Trilogy

  by Joanne Clancy

  Synopsis:

  Kerry Darcy has loved Conor, her childhood sweetheart, for more than twenty years. They’ve built their dream home, raised a happy family and are still madly in love.

  Hope Kennedy seems to have it all; a fabulous job, a luxurious apartment and best of all she’s married to her soulmate, Niall.

  Two very different women, two perfect husbands; but what happens when their lives horribly collide?

  The terrible force of chaos ensues; a force that takes its fateful hold on time and place. It ruptures the present, warps the future, replacing order with confusion, confidence with trepidation and control with powerlessness. Lives are ended for some, changed forever for others and a most significant chain of events is about to unfold with catastrophic results.

  Reviews:

  Secrets & Lies was a wonderful story. It kept building momentum as the stories of Kerry's and Hope's lives unfolded. The author described the characters in vivid detail and you felt as though you knew them by the end of the novel. There are also hints as to their live
s possibly intersecting in the following sequels, which promise to be very interesting considering the cliff-hanger of an ending! I feel compelled to read Aftermath to see exactly what lies ahead for these characters...~Michele H., Amazon

  Having read a few previous books by this author, which I'd also enjoyed. I have to say that Joanne Clancy just gets better and better every time and as a result this is a polished and well thought-out, intriguing story. It follows the lives of a couple of female main characters. Kerry who's married to Conor and Hope who's married to Niall and it sure makes you wonder how these two, very different ladies are connected and I don't want to spoil anything, but could it be their husbands? The sex scenes were handled really well as I've come to expect, for Joanne Clancy has a knack of making them downright sexy without being 'cringey' which is a major skill in itself. I got stuck into this novel right from the start and raced to finish it, seeing as I was carried away on a simple basis of wanting to find out what happens next. In fact, it's such a page-turner that I nearly missed my doctor’s appointment when they'd called out my name, but I was so engrossed in reading it that I didn't hear them until the nurse tapped me on the shoulder and I nearly dropped my Kindle. I can't wait for the second book in this trilogy to be produced and if you read it too then you'll understand, why! ~ Maureen Reil, Amazon

  Aftermath

  The second book in The Secrets and Lies Trilogy

  By Joanne Clancy

  Synopsis:

  Kerry Darcy has survived the fateful day in March when the tsunami struck, but she is struggling to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

  Pregnant and alone, Hope Kennedy is left wondering what happened to the man she loved so much.

  Two very different women, two perfect husbands, but what happens when their lives horribly collide?

  Reviews:

  Halfway through the book, the author throws us a left curve...which totally blows us away.I can't say any more, or I will spoil it for others. Just read this book.I was then glued to the book until the end.I can't wait for the 3rd part of the trilogy , "Redemption", which I believe Joanne said will be available in the winter. These are well written novels and so enjoyable to read.

  ~ Coccotoro, Amazon

  I truly look forward to reading book 3: Redemption since book 2 ended with quite a revelation. I highly recommend this series to readers who enjoy romance with a bit of mystery mixed in.

  ~ Michele H., Amazon

  I enjoyed the 2nd book in the series almost as much as the first. The loose ends of the story are being pulled together. The characters are developing. There are more areas yet to be pulled together. The book keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next.I am anxious to read the next book. ~ Lora, Amazon

  Redemption

  The final book in the Secrets and Lies Trilogy

  By Joanne Clancy

  Synopsis:

  In the ebb and flow of every relationship, there sometimes comes a tide which can sweep in the most profound changes. Kerry Darcy and Hope Kennedy sense such a tide washing over them now. It’s a swell which has propelled them on the long road to discovering the truth.

  Both women refuse to give up on their husbands, believing that the tumultuous events of the previous months will be resolved and their lives will be restored to normal.

  They want answers, but what is the truth behind the secrets and lies that have been buried deep for so long?

  Reviews:

  This was an amazing novel to read. A definite 5 star rating. ~ Coccotorro, Amazon

  I was hooked with the first book; the second book was great, so I had been eagerly awaiting the third book. I was not disappointed with this book. The emotional roller coasters each character endured all seemed realistic. A great trilogy to read. ~ Running Mom, Amazon

  I also found the ending to be very fitting and hopeful, even with the after effects that a scenario like this can have on a family which was handled with great dignity. And I'm really looking forward to finding out what Joanne Clancy is writing next, seeing as I do seem to connect with her characters so readily that I know it'll be well worth my time to get my hands on any future works by this great storyteller. ~ Maureen Reil, Amazon

  Reviews for The Wedding Day

  This is a magical book, compressed into a magical area of Ireland, and set in one of my favourite cities, Cork, in the deep south west of that magical country. It spans the emotional lives of two people and their families and friends, and starts with an emotional disaster and ends with reconciliation and love. Using a deliberately small palette, Joanne Clancy has delineated a story which can go round the world, with implications and connections to anywhere in the world. So if you are fascinated by the myriad strands of human emotion, love and despair, hatred and disappointment, turning back to human warmth, buy this book. ~ John Walker, Amazon

  I really loved this book. The setting and characters were great. The story line was perfect. First time I read this author and will read her other books. Pick this book up today. ~ Arod, Amazon

  Unforgettable Embrace

  by Joanne Clancy

  Reviews

  Top 30 most downloaded book in Contemporary Romance during January 2012.

  The book gave me very vivid scenes of Ireland. Good romance and an easy read. I can't wait to read more of her books. ~ Arod, Amazon

  I enjoyed the story and the characters. Well written and well developed/developing characters. Very believable story. I look forward to reading more from this author! ~ Sharon, Amazon

  I was actually saving this for a business trip that started with a 559 am flight, but I finished packing the Sunday before and decided to start reading early. The story is thoroughly enjoyable to this point, as I had no preconceptions on ht to expect.

  My daughter was napping and the hubby was at the movies so I've demolished 110 pages in less than two hours. :)

  Polished it off on my flight and started the next book (Unfaithfully Yours). I encourage anyone to pick this up and read it, lazy weekend, beach/pool side read, rainy day, two & half hour flight... just read it!

  There were times I applauded Rachel's attitude and drive to do something completely out of her comfort zone. There were other times I wanted her sister to smack some sense into the pea-brain I felt she had! (my sister would have been black & blue - if I had one).

  The ending was something I did not see coming - but I didn't read the synopsis before I started the book, so I really enjoyed it.

  Thank you for a fantastic read! ~ Woot, Amazon

  Synopsis

  Unforgettable Embrace is the story of a woman’s journey in self-discovery with many unexpected and often hilarious encounters along the way.

  Rachel’s life has become a boring and monotonous routine. Life is just not what she expected it to be, so she decides to make some drastic but exciting changes.

  A significant event occurs during a friend’s hen weekend, the seriousness of which wouldn’t be unveiled until later.

  Tense moments arise that are suddenly and brutally made to look miniscule compared to the serious events, that unknown to Rachel, have already taken place, in which she is unwittingly but dangerously
involved.

  Join Rachel as she travels Ireland, where she ends up getting a lot more than she bargained for.
