Cassie O'Hara, a New Yorker, has
been haunted by the memory of being left at the altar, and especially finds the
Christmas season particularly difficult. This year, after an impulsive
conversation with her friend June, she decides to escape the Big Apple and
spend the holidays in a quaint village in the UK. However, upon arriving at her
rental cottage, she finds not the cozy, firelit haven that she imagined, but a
dilapidated, dust-covered wreck—with no welcome basket of goodies in sight! Now
faced with the dilemma of either enduring the festive season or heading back
home, Cassie is torn. Enter two charming men: Charles, the dashing "lord
of the manor," and Ryan, a lively Irishman who seems to have done more
than kiss the Blarney Stone!
As someone with strong Irish roots,
with parents from a small village in Cork, I absolutely loved this book. It has
everything you want in a Christmas story: twinkling lights, snow, and just the
right touch of romance. I was so immersed in the tale that the pages seemed to
turn themselves, and my only regret is that I read it too quickly—I didn’t want
it to end!
This is easily one of my favorite
reads of 2024!
