Aurora Fairall—Rory to her friends—loves her jobs working at the village bookshop and the family castle-turned-boutique hotel, even if she sometimes wonders if this is all God has for her life. She knows she has much to be grateful for—her family, her friends, her faith—but she wonders if the special Fairall legacy that sees its members struck by Cupid’s arrow has passed her by. Until she meets Aidan Quinn—not the actor, but an Australian guest on a genealogical mission to discover his ancestry—and sparks fly.
Aidan never thought his visit to Ireland’s west coast would result in meeting a redheaded firecracker with a bewitching smile and pixie-like laughter. But obviously God knew better. And his quest to find his kin brings him into the warm embrace of this loud and loving family has helped heal his heart and gives hope that his future might be different to what he’d imagined. Until a secret from the past threatens everything he holds dear…
Can these two opposites find a future even though their lives are worlds apart? And just what role does the Fairall legacy have to play in matters of the heart?
My Review:
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I can’t resist a good romance set in Ireland and this one is excellent! Miller does a wonderful job bringing the Irish ambience to life in this enemies to more romance with a most unfortunate meet-cute (which means tons of fun!)
Rory and Aiden get off on the wrong foot (mostly Rory’s fault…well, all Rory’s fault actually) but even so she experiences the sizzling zing of family legend that is supposed to signify true love when she first lays eyes on Aiden. If you believed in that sort of thing and if you hadn’t muddled up introductions which Rory had. Her incorrigible sister doesn’t let her wallow in embarrassment though and pretty soon the hotelier and her Australian guest are starting to get along…until secrets from the past have the potential to sever their budding relationship for good.
Eeeeep!!! Such a lovely mix of sweet romance (including toe-curling kisses!) and the rigours of real life stresses, all wrapped up with a significant faith thread. Makes for an outstanding inspirational romance!
