The Kerry Series #1-3
Irish Romance
A Collection of three romantic novels set in Ireland
Hot Property: When Megan O’Farrell inherits her uncle’s house in a remote part of the windswept Atlantic coast of Ireland, she imagines it will be a romantic hideaway where she can recover from her recent divorce. But the house is a wreck that requires a fortune to restore, and she decides to sell it. An easy choice, were it not for the discovery of an old family scandal and a budding love affair with both the beautiful landscape and a handsome Kerryman. Catapulted into country life and faced with the less romantic side of farming, she also has to deal with a conspiracy to make her leave.
Hot Gossip: When Janine Marchand leaves her native France for a remote village on the Atlantic coast of Ireland, she hopes to let go of a painful past. She has changed her name and taken on a whole new identity. But the locals are curious and soon tongues start wagging. To complicate matters, Janine gets involved with Mick O’Shea, a handsome man who harbours dark secrets of his own. She is drawn to him even though she knows the attraction might jeopardize the fresh start she is trying to build. When someone in the village alerts the press, Janine must make a decision: run away once more or stay to confront her past.
Hot Pursuit: Can you wipe the slate clean and start a new life? Rita O’Brien hopes so. She leaves a broken heart and a failed business in Kerry for a new beginning among the bright lights of Dublin. She soon settles into her new life with new friends, but things get complicated when two men enter her life. Who is the right man for her? Ricardo, with his Latin good looks and easy charm, or Josh, the true-blue friend?
The turmoil in her life re-opens new wounds that Rita has kept buried deep inside. She realises she must confront her past and correct a mistake she made years ago.
Will she make the right choice when it comes to love? Will her quest to find someone she lost heal her sorrows? Rita tries her best to find the right path in the hot pursuit of her dreams.
Set in Dublin and its beautiful surroundings with frequent trips back to the west of Ireland, this novel is the third in the popular Kerry series.

Two. Good ones
I really liked the first story about Megan the best. The second book was pretty good too. I didn't finish the third one about Rita. I couldn't get into it and got bored so I didn't read the rest.

I enjoyed the plot lines, but the stories were fairly predictable and the dialogue felt forced and cumbersome at times.

I liked the first and third book, but I absolutely disliked the second on( the heroine was insufferable and there was no build up in the love story).

Lovely, as the Irish would say
Great stories with well defined characters. Nothing too deep so it makes a good read either on the beach or in front of a cozy fire.

Wonderful
Three books, lots of stories. Too much to describe in great detail.
A town full of people who interact and live. The stories blend just beautifully.

Great books
Loved the three books from beginning to end. There is romance, war, travel. The kind of books that you hate to turn off light to go to sleep you want to keep on reading.

Quite a good box set, I liked it very much. I liked the first book the best. The other two books are good too, but didn't hold my interest like the first one. Overall, it's a strong box set, with good characters and a strong storyline throughout the set. The third book has an awesome ending that finishes the set on a delightfully happy note. A very fun read.

Sweet and fun
I lived through the characters and had such a fun time! Each book built on the next story and the characters were interesting and never flat. I liked the complexity and adventure of each different book.

Short but interesting
Good stories, short but didn't leave you wondering. I enjoyed all three stories very much. If you don't like to read long stories this one is great.
