Kinsale Kisses

GIVEAWAY

MADDREY, ELIZABETH

KINSALE KISSES

She wants stability. He wants spontaneity. What they need is each other.

Colin O'Bryan cashed out of the software company he founded and started a new life in Ireland. Content to wander from town to town as a traveling musician, he had no goals beyond healing from he betrayals that led to his career change, and finding his next gig.

After the death of her parents, Rachel Sullivan hoped her aunt's B&B on the Southern coast of Ireland would be a place for her to settle and start a new life. Though she can't deny the sparks in Colin's touch, his lack of concern for hearth and home leave her torn.

Can this free-spirited minstrel win her heart or will Rachel choose roots and stability over love?

My Review:

"Keep praying, even when it feels like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling right back onto your head. God's listening...and even more? He's working. You just might not see it yet." (p 82)

Happy sigh. If you want a real taste of Ireland look no further, Elizabeth Maddrey has managed to capture the essence of the beautiful land and her people. In fact, she's made me homesick. And kudos to her for bringing just the right lilt and vernacular to the voices of her Irish characters. The subtle differences in phrasing, speaking a statement as a question and other endearing quirks...well, it all reads very true to life.

And I love the impossibility of the romance. Both Colin and Rachel are struggling to come to grips with major life upheavals but their coping strategies are completely different. And what better place to fall in love than the Irish seaside?! Of course, things also fall apart before they can be put back together for an enduring happily ever after. I especially enjoyed Rachel's Aunt Siobhan's nuggets of wisdom gleaned from age and experience.

A delightful armchair-traveling inspirational romance.
