Pushing her key into the gate lock, Katie looks up nervously at the grand tree-lined entrance sweeping up to Kilcashel House. This was not her home by choice, but if she was to ever move on from her past and uncover the truth about her beloved Harry, she would make it her home…
Perched on the edge of the roaring Irish Sea, Kilcashel House was somewhere New Yorker Katie never imagined she would live. But when her partner Harry dies suddenly with a diamond engagement ring in his top pocket, Katie is shocked to learn that he has left a house in Ireland to her. But that is not the only secret Harry was keeping. Katie soon learns that Harry also left the house to his ex-wife Maggie.
The two women could not be more different but are left with no choice but to go to Ireland together to try and uncover Harry’s past. But arriving at Kilcashel, they are met with unpaid bills and a huge list of repairs. As they walk through the house, they start to encounter little signs of the life Harry was building here – a new kitchen, clearly for Katie, a beloved horse for Maggie. Bit by bit they uncover a new side to the man they both loved.
With the help of handsome local gardener Dan and a band of friendly locals, together they turn the crumbling house into a stunning home full of life once again. Soon Katie realizes that it is more than just the house that has stolen her heart. Could this be where she finally realizes her lifelong dream of starting a bakery? And as she gets closer to Dan, might she be able to open her heart once more after such a tragic loss?
But when a letter arrives revealing the truth about Harry’s past and an unexpected tragedy strikes the house, will Katie want to realize her Irish dream or be forced home for good?
Review:
Have the tissue handy for this book, you're gonna need them! Not spoiling anything, but this is a feel good chick lit book that will have you reevaluating YOUR relationships and debating on running away to Ireland too! LOL. It's a case of two opposites- one ex-wife, one ex-fiancee to be, and the crazy dream of their shared love, Harry. Even though he left them broke, he left them his dream, which becomes THEIR shared dream, and together they learn more about Harry than they wanted to know, more about themselves as drama unfolds and they stand to loose what they have worked so hard to build. perfect for the end of Summer, it's a book to savor and cherish~
