Publisher Description

When a librarian moves to a quaint Irish village where her favorite novelist lives, the last thing she expects is to fall for the author’s prickly son… until their story becomes one for the books, from the New York Times bestselling author of Summer Reading.

Emily Allen, a librarian on Martha’s Vineyard, has always dreamed of a life of travel and adventure. So when her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, offers her a job in the Emerald Isle, Emily jumps at the opportunity. After all, Siobhan’s novels got Em through some of the darkest days of her existence.

Helping Siobhan write the final book in her acclaimed series—after a ten-year hiatus due to a scorching case of writer’s block—is a dream come true for Emily. If only she didn’t have to deal with Siobhan’s son, Kieran Murphy. He manages Siobhan’s bookstore, and the grouchy bookworm clearly doesn’t want Em around.

Emily persists, and spending her days bantering with the annoyingly handsome mercurial Irishman only makes her fall more deeply in love with the new life she’s built – and for the man who seems to soften toward her with every quip she throws at him. But when she discovers the reason for Kieran's initial resistance, Em finds herself torn between helping Siobhan find closure with her series and her now undeniable feelings for Kier. As Siobhan's novel progresses, Emily will have to decide if she’s truly ready to turn a new page and figure out what lies in the next chapter.

Extraordinary

This book is so very well written that I have a hard time settling on just one thing to praise. The characters come to life, pulling the reader into their lives, making you feel as though you’ve entered their world completely. I will admit that if I could have stayed awake I would have read this book at one sitting. The plotting was excellent, the descriptions beautiful and lifelike. My head and emotions became lost in Finn’s Hollow as I read and at the end, I felt like my heart would burst. It’s been a very long time since a book touched me like this one. Thank you, Jenn McKinley.

The perfect romance novel

This was the perfect romance novel! It took all the qualities I love in a cute, heartwarming romance and put them all in one book. The location, the cute banter between main characters, and the perfect amount of spice. It could not have been better, I loved it so much!
