Book Review: Beneath an Irish Sky by Isabella Conner

Reviewer: Terry

beneath an irish skyI was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

What an amazing read! When I started this book, I worried it would be a typical romance that had to much mushy stuff and not enough story.

Boy was I wrong! This was an awesome read about an estranged (very) relationship between and absent father and his son. But not your typical absent father, one that didn’t know he had a child, let alone why his wife left him 20 years previous.

The story line in this book was surprisingly intense! I truly enjoyed getting to see how the puzzle pieces fit into the lives of all those involved. It broke my heart to know that decisions adults make can hurt the children involved many many years into their lives. And this book definitely helps you realize that money does not buy happiness and often can ruin the making of a happy life.

I loved the characters! They were all so very well developed and you couldn’t help either love or hate each one! There is so much involved in getting to know the characters of a book. And I truly enjoyed getting to know these ones so very much. They were so well developed that you truly do hurt for them when they are hurting in the story and you celebrate when they have moments of joy. It is something I admire about great authors like Isabella Connor.

I really enjoyed that this story did not solely revolve around the romance side of it, but more the romance trickled around the bigger story, it made it a fantastic read!

    A lovely review – thank you so much. I don’t know if I already saw this or not – a year is a long time – but it just came up on a link in Book Vibe. I’d rather say thank you twice, than not at all. Apologies if I have missed it before.
