Bestselling McKinlay (Summer Reading) pens a new romantic comedy perfect for listeners who love books about books. Emily Allen, a librarian on Martha’s Vineyard, jumps at an opportunity to travel to Ireland to help her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, finish the last book in her popular Tig McMorrow series. Emily has always wanted to embark on an adventure of her own. What better place to start than a charming Irish village halfway across the globe? The only downside is working with the novelist’s son, Kieran Murphy. He’s grumpy, irritable, and annoyed with Emily at every turn. Maybe judging a book by its cover isn’t always the best way after all. The audio is skillfully narrated by Brittany Pressley, whose rhythm and pacing move the story along. The setting of Finn’s Hollow brims with charm, warmth, and wit, acting as a central and beloved character that readers will love just as much as Emily and Kiernan.
VERDICT Fans of bookish romances will be charmed by this slow-burn romance with an enemies-to-lovers twist. Share with those who enjoyed Rachel Lacey’s Read Between the Lines.
