Does Your Why Make You Cry?

Does Your Why Make You Cry?

July 13, 2020

This post has been re-blogged from Cristian Mihai. My home country of Romania is last in the European Union when it comes to reading books. The book market here is the stuff of nightmares for any writer. What do these two sentences mean? I shouldn’t be able to do what I do. I shouldn’t have attempted it. And I don’t think that you ever gave it a thought while reading my posts. My parents never read a single thing I wrote because my words are foreign to them. They never read my ... Read more

In Love With My Main Character

In Love With My Main Character

April 11, 2020

I have imbued in my male main character some of the traits I wish I could find in a single person, balanced out with some flaws that make him realistic and relatable of course! I have given him endearing quirks and charming foibles, a so-so body, and a penchant for bacon and egg sandwiches. In short, I am in love with him. Gosh, I hope my female main character appreciates all of the hard work that went in to creating her perfect-for-her match! ... Read more

I had not heard of this author previously, so was I had not heard of this author previously, so was unsure of their writing style.

The tropes in this book are: insta-lust, only one bed, one-night stand and infertility.

It was clear to me after only a couple of chapters that this author is not for me. I found the emotional aspect of the plot to be missing and I could not relate in any way to the characters.

Also, while they claim to have fallen in love, the main male character, Lucas, had a child by his mistress (who he then employs), and the main female character, Juliana, had her own affair. With these two things going on, I didn’t buy the love aspect at all.

----------------------------
Two years ago, independent widow Juliana Sheldon spent a blissful night with the Viscount Audlington at an inn during a snowstorm, and the next morning, he left without a word. Juliana doesn’t realize how much his abandonment upset her until she encounters him at a matchmaking house party. He’d like to rekindle their affair, but Juliana prefers to torment him instead. Until she finally surrenders to temptation—only to be dismayed when he begins to talk about the one thing she doesn’t want: marriage.

Lucas Trask, heir to an earldom, has left his rakish reputation behind in favor of finally taking a wife. He never forgot Juliana and reconnecting with her seems like fate is telling him who he should wed. However, Lucas has a secret, one he’s never dared share with anyone. If he can convince Juliana to be his wife, he’ll reveal everything. But when tragedy strikes, he must leave again. This time, the runaway viscount may be all out of luck.

Tongue-tied around men, the only place shy librari Tongue-tied around men, the only place shy librarian Brigid Cleary finds love is in the books she reads. Certainly not in the novel she’s writing—as appealing as a dusty desert. Then a famous mystery writer enters her life to research an Irish legend related to her family. As their easy conversation grows, Brigid develops feelings. There’s just one large problem—he’s engaged.

With two failed books behind him, Andrew Connally is desperate for success. The Irish legend has to pull him through. When Brigid invites him to Ireland for a family celebration, in exchange for his help with writing, he jumps at the chance. But surprises emerge in this enchanted land. The flames of attraction climb, and the legend pulls them both on a powerful journey.

As the secrets of the legend come to light, Brigid and Andrew discover an unexpected path to love and the dreams they both desire.

This was such a sweet read! Two main characters, both searching for something more than what they have, aching for a connection, to belong.

I love the descriptions of Ireland woven throughout, it really brings it to life on the page.

With realistic characters, a solid plot, a little magic, and some romance, this book was just such an all round feel-good read.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.
