Bonus St Patrick's Day Book Review: Her Great Irish Escape

Title: Her Great Irish Escape 

Author: Michele Brouder

Date: 2020

Publisher: Michele Brouder 

Quote: "Then why don't you show us the real Ireland?"

Grace is your typical American mixed breed. Only one known Irish ancestor, but that's the one from whom she got the family name, Kelly. She's gone through life hearing even the nicest people she's met say "...but your hair is dark." Marriage to somebody called Mark would have at least put a stop to that but, on the morning before the wedding, Mark bolted. So Grace grabbed a last-minute chance to join a small tour group going to Ireland. The tour bus driver mentions that castles and scenic landscapes aren't "the real Ireland" in which he grew up, and Grace, goaded by a few wisecracks of his referring to the famous Grace Kelly's movies, challenges him to show them "the real Ireland." So they go to visit the neighbors' farm and have tea with his grandmother, and Grace decides she likes him. It's a Sweet Romance. You know where this is going to lead.

The author's done a whole series of romances for people who dream not only of finding True Love but of finding it in Ireland. If you like this short book, there's an afterword listing the longer ones.
