A nice simple read. Good descriptions of Ireland"s green country landscapes. Great details of the life of running a bed and breakfast inn. ( )

This book is about twice as long as it needs to be. It is decent chick lit, but nothing beyond that. I had to re-start the book twice to get into it; the only reason I kept trying was because I received it as an Early Reader review book. Lainy, the main character, is a self-absorbed woman who is rather bossy and annoying. The dialogue sequences are tedious -- no one has conversations like that with their families. It's rather silly, and never ending.

It's a light read. The romantic element is forced. I'm not really sure what the author was going for here. I also wonder why the editor didn't cut the book by about 100 pages. ( )

light, not a lot of detail, etc.--I read this book over two months ago and the only things I really recall about it are the details of the relationship plot. I liked the book while I was reading it but I'm not sure that I would read it again.

This was a pleasant summer read. However, I found myself putting it down often for more challenging works. As previous reviewers noted, the plot is a bit thin and predictable. I suppose I'm damning it with faint praise when I say there wasn't anything objectionable about it. ( )

This started off with Lainey and her family having so much artificial, witty, dailogue that I wondered if I'd be able to bear with it. Thankfully, it got better. I did enjoy reading about the B&B in Ireland and the difficulties in setting up the place. The area sounds wonderful. The family dynamics got better and became believable, but the romance part worked well. It was an easy summer read, abit too simple and breezy for my normal taste, but a refreshing change of pace for me. ( )
