What's a love story without a good plot twist . . . ?
*
Becca Taylor is having a bad summer.
Her best friend is dead. Her good-for-nothing ex is back in her life. And her career is in freefall.
So, when fellow writer Riley O'Connell invites Becca to the charming Irish countryside, she can't pack her bags fast enough, even though they have never met.
But happily-ever-after isn't quite so simple.
And Riley is not a sensitive female romance novelist like Becca assumed. No, he is definitely a man. A hot, six-foot tall, Irish man.
But with their complicated pasts getting in the way, Becca and Riley just can't get on the same page.
So can fate give their love story a rewrite?

Customer Reviews
Impressed that I managed to finish this book.
Becca Taylor, primary school teacher and amateur writer, is grieving the death of her best friend Rae. To Becca's fury one of the main mourners at the funeral is her own ex-boyfriend Drew who cheated on her ten years ago with his boss, a caricature of big boobs and false finger nails. Before the service Rae’s brother explains that Rae and Drew were living together and Drew was about to propose, this information infuriated Becca even more, even although she and Drew broke up years ago. When Drew approaches Becca he's clearly distraught, she reacts by coldly by turning him away. I lost all empathy with Becca, Drew has lost the woman he hoped to marry, Becca selfishly considers she's suffering the most.
Her online writing pal Riley, is stuck with writer's block and invites Becca to Ireland for the summer, hopefully they can encourage each other to regain their creativity. Off she goes, having casually arranged with a teacher colleague to cover her classes for the last two weeks of school term. Arriving in Ireland Becca discovers that Riley is a he not a she, he’s a perfect 10, with a four year old gorgeous daughter, they live in a gorgeous cottage, with gorgeous views. Everything is gorgeous. Becca meets Riley’s family who immediately adore her.
The book continued to irritate me, if I include more details I'd be giving spoilers.
Annoying characters and not for me.
