Review : Her Best Laid Plans by Cara McKenna (NA)



Book Blurb

Experience Ireland—the dramatic beauty, the warm hospitality…and the smoking hot local guys!

Imagine nursing a pint in a cozy, authentic country pub, far from Cork's busy city pulse. Getting here took you a plane, bus, taxi and…um, bicycle. But just as you're resigning yourself to drinking beside grey-haired farmers, you see him—a man with the looks and charm to soothe any heartbroken girl.

He's your bartender. Your really, really gorgeous bartender.

For American Jamie Webb—recently dumped and housesitting for two weeks—Connor Kelleher is like a six-course feast after a 23-year starvation diet. But it's gotta be casual. She's just begun rerouting her life after a three-year man-related detour. Still, a sexy romp (or twenty!) with Sexy McBartender?

But what happens when Jamie's best-laid plans for no future plans with any man begin to change?


Toot's Review

"We can live the romance of a lifetime for ten days"

Come take a 10 day vacation with Jamie as she discovers all that the quaint Ireland countryside has to offer as she house sits for a friend and rediscovers romance in this wonderful novella by Cara McKenna.

In this NA genre novella, Boston student, Jamie Webb has fled to Ireland to get some much needed R&R after being dumped by her longtime sweetie. She has decided to get her life back on track after letting it be derailed by her previous love. She also plans to live life to the fullest while visiting the emerald isle and if some, hot as hell, twenty-something year old bartender crosses her path, well hell, what's a once in a lifetime vaca without a fling? But what Jamie doesn't gamble on is finding more than just a fling.

If you’re not a fan of Cara McKenna, you might not know that with Cara's stories, it’s not always about the HEA and more about being happy with the person beside you for as long as it lasts. With that being said though, I freaking loved this novella and it totally oozed romance from every freakin’ blade of Irish green grass but come on, I love everything Cara does. She's one of the very few authors I've met, and I've met many, that I went completely and utterly fan girl on. She has such a unique writing style and she always puts a wonderful twist on romance. Her stories and/or characters never fit into a traditional mold and as a fan of romance, I find her always wonderfully refreshing.
