An enjoyable beginning to this new series as three sisters, Raven, River and Rowan Byrne, have established their interior design firm after the tragic deaths of their parents. Their firm, Triskelion Territory Designs, has been offered a chance to design Wolf’s Irish Pubs for the wealthy O’Faolain Clan. This would cement their reputation in the industry. Their first meeting with Hugh and his sons Bran and Patrick isn’t as smooth as they had hoped, but the men soon find them charming, especially Bran’s immediate attraction to Raven. Although the story seemed a little slow in the beginning, it quickly picked up as the Byrne sisters are soon enjoying the hospitality of the O’Faolain family and friends. The family dynamics, of both families, was charming and often quite humorous and aided to the smooth flow of the story. Of course, everything in a story can’t proceed smoothly as someone from their past is after revenge on the O’Faolain family and all they hold dear. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

Raven is the 1st book in The Irish Wolves Trilogy by Anne Gregor and it appears to me to be her debut book. I would consider this a contemporary romance more than romantic suspense. That being said, it follows the three Byrne sisters who run an interior decorating firm and the three O’Faolain billionaire men who hire them. Without giving too much away, this first book is Raven & Bran’s book. At first, I found it a bit slow to start but that’s just me – I think that comes with the territory of laying the groundwork for a 3-book series and introducing so many characters. I found the book interesting even though it was slow to start and a worthy debut from this author. Now that we know all the characters and their personalities, the next 2 books will flow a little easier. This was a solid 3.5 star debut read and I would recommend it if you’re looking for something a little different in this genre. I’m grateful to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review an advance copy of this book.

Im a huge fan of wolf style romance books. I was in my wattpad era at that point. So I was excited to read this and review. It met all my expectations I loved it so much and I cant wait to read the rest of the series. The characters really drew me in and the protagonist was great. Its always nice reading a book where the world building and the character building are on the same level. I give it 5/5 stars.

Raven was such a wonderful and enjoyable story.

The book follows a group of sisters who own an interior design company. Their company signs a contract with these billionaire brothers. Raven, the FMC, meets Bran and they spark a connection. Throughout the book we are able to connect with them and see their relationship develop.

The first thing I noticed about this book was the gorgeous watercolour cover art of Dublin, absolutely stunning, and the book followed suit

Anne Gregor is a master of her craft. The character development in "Raven" was brilliant and although a side character, I fell in love with "Nan", the grandmother f the sisters and an absolute bean (there's no messing with her though, she'll rip you a new one and no mistake!)

The story is based around three sisters and their interior design firm. They land a lucrative contract with Billionaire brothers, the oldest of which is very much taken with Raven, the oldest of the three sisters

I usually get turned off a book as soon as I see "Billionaire romance" but this book is oh so very different from the usual tropes and this means it will probably appeal to those who do enjoy Billionaire romances as much as those who don't

Gregors writing style is beautifully paced, it cpatures the whole array of the human experience with a graceful humour, yet also, great strength

Raven and Brans conection is a slow burn and had me humphfing at him at certain points, but also at Raven aswell, this storyline is delightful! But, for all the ups and downs and hearts and flowers, there is a dark underbelly to the story, that the two sets of siblings need to overcome

An absolute belter of a read and I am really looking forward to the next in the series

Thank you to NetGalley and Oliver Heber Books for this brillant ARC. My review is left voluntarily and all views are my own
