Book Review: Something Irish by Heather Young-Nichols

Courting Chaos Book 0.5

Will time between a sexy pub owner and a damsel in distress be a hot fling or something more?

Maggie Dwyer and her mother are given a week long trip to Ireland when a last minute injury sidelines her grandma. Genealogy tourism, her grandpa called it. A chance to learn where she came from. When the trip comes to an end, Maggie is horrified to discover that her purse has disappeared. Her driver’s license and passport along with it. She can’t leave Ireland with her mother.

Eagan O’Brien, the sexy pub owner Maggie’s been flirting with, steps in to help by offering his apartment to the damsel in distress. Maggie tries to flip her distress into her first successful one night stand. But getting a replacement passport isn’t as easy as everyone thinks and Maggie stays for two more weeks.

Two more weeks of Eagan O’Brien. Can Maggie turn that one night stand into something more or will luck not be one her side?

My Review:

This is such a sweet little novella, packed with an emotional punch that brought me near to tears several times. When a missing purse strands Maggie in Ireland, Eagan steps in to help while arrangements are made to get her back home. The chemistry between Maggie and Eagan is instant and powerful. I loved watching these two interacting with their families. I would have happily read several hundred more words about this pair. And I’m glad to know that this seems to be the start of a whole new series, where we might get cameo appearances of Maggie and Eagan in the future. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this story.
