BOOK SUMMARY:

What happens on an Irish bus tour stays on an Irish bus tour…”

This is the second book in the clean and sweet romcom Men of the Isles series by Deborah M. Hathaway. Although this clean, road trip, forbidden romance is a stand-alone novel, the books are best enjoyed when read in order.

TAKE ME TO IRELAND.

This was such a sweet read. The instant connection played out super well and I didn’t even notice how short the time frame was until it was mentioned in the book.

I adored allllll of the food and traveling content. I felt whisked away to Ireland and was totally immersed in the setting. It’s clearly well researched and a well loved area for the author.

Alongside the setting I loved the tight friendships showcased with Finn and the guys. I don’t think close relationships between men is in enough romance books and I loved getting all of the text sequences and moments with them.

I really felt the chemistry between Maisie and Finn and hot dang appreciated a realistic third act. I thought things went the way they had to and rolled around to the best kind of ending. I’m going to need all the book recs involving a guy who chases (in a romantic cute way y’all) because it is suddenly a new favorite.

Overall audience notes:

• Contemporary Romance
• Language: none
• Romance: kisses
