One summer, property seeker, Serendipity Parker finds herself on the beautiful west coast of Ireland, hunting for a home for a wealthy Irish client. But when she finds the perfect house in the small town of Ballykiltara, there's a problem; nobody seems to know who owns it. 'The Welcome House' is a local legend. Its front door is always open for those in need of shelter, and there's always a plentiful supply of food in the cupboards for the hungry or poor. While Ren desperately tries to find the owner to see if she can negotiate a sale, she begins to delve deeper into the history and legends that surround the old house and the town.

This was my first McNamara book. It is in the chick lit genre firmly and squarely, even with the addition of Celtic mythology and magic. Ren and Kiki are looking for the perfect house for a client and stumble across the Welcome House which is owned by everyone and no one. Ren's journey to find the owner takes her in unexpected directions, and finds love at the same time. The magical tale is interesting, but the love aspect is predictable, with fall outs and make ups along the way. Kiki was annoying (but she was early 20s) and to be honest I didn't feel too much for her either. It was the journey that I found more interesting and developed.

Still, it entertained me and I did finish it, so it wasn't all bad! ( )
