Summary:
Vows in Vegas…True Love in Ballybeg
Three days before leaving Ireland on the adventure of a lifetime, Fiona Byrne returns to her small Irish hometown to attend the family wedding from hell. When she discovers the drunken vows she exchanged with the groom during a wild Las Vegas trip eight years previously mean they’re legally married, her future plans ricochet out of control. Can she untangle herself from the man who broke her heart so long ago? Does she even want to?
Gavin Maguire’s life is low on drama, high on stability, and free of pets. But Gavin hadn’t reckoned on Fiona blasting back into his life and crashing his wedding. In the space of twenty-four hours, he loses a fiancée and a job, and gains a wife and a labradoodle. Can he salvage his bland-but-stable life? More importantly, can he resist losing his heart to Fiona all over again?
WARNING: This book features a crashed wedding, a labradoodle with attitude, and love and laughter, Irish-style.
Review:
I am a fan of light romantic stories with a HEA. This was an enjoyable read for those reasons. The story was great and there were some hysterical moments as well as dramatic scenes.
Fiona was great; I liked her right away. I detested Muireann and her family almost immediately. The secondary characters were well developed and likeable.
The book was very descriptive and at times I felt like it slowed the story down. I wouldn’t say this was a negative thing but I mention it because people who prefer quick reads might find this a bit tedious.
I would recommend this book to those that like a good romantic comedy.
