Synopsis;
It’s hate-at-first-sight when a jilted Irish chef returns home to Inishmore and immediately clashes with a mouthy American tourist.
This steamy romance novel by New York Times bestselling author Amy Ewing is perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and Tessa Bailey.
Cordelia James was once at the top of her game—a renowned street photographer with a massive social media following, gallery showings in Chelsea, and a lucrative book deal. But after the sudden death of her father, Cordelia can barely force herself to leave her apartment. That is, until she sees an ad for a summer gig at a cozy cottage on Ireland’s picturesque Inishmore island. Cordelia is on a plane before she can talk herself out of it.
The moment she steps off the boat, she crashes—literally—into Niall O’Connor, a grumpy local who’s just returned home to Inishmore from Dublin. Niall is nursing a broken heart and trying to patch up a broken life, and he has no time for posh American tourists. The more Cordelia’s and Niall’s paths cross, the more they make each other’s lives hell. But as with all rivalries, their hatred is about to reach a tipping point—and it’s going to heat up their cool coastal nights.
Featuring a lovable band of quirky supporting characters, The Irish Goodbye is a steamy, emotionally gripping tale of love, passion, art, food, and finding where you belong.

Review:
Good luck putting this second Irish book of the day down! Think of it like a cozy romance- once you start reading, you just keep turning the pages until studdenly you realize you're on the last chapter! It's a classic tourist puts aside her normal life to come to Ireland for a short term gig, out of her norm, to see what she wants in life, and meets a charming local. Only in this case, the charming local, is her charge, and the uncouth local who has returned home with his life in tatters, is really the one who gets her heart racing. You'll spend the novel hoping these two get together, and then hoping they don't at the same time! But as we know Irish goodbyes last forever, and maybe Cordelia and Niall and have theirs too.
FYI- I wasn't a fan of the ending. In my head, I had a different version that I felt was more of Niall and Cordelia cementing their new paths together, but I d=totally understand why Ewing went with the one she did.
