I sat here for about five minutes trying to think of something prolific to write, and all I came up with was that first sentence. However, despite it being simple and understated, it's a genuine response. I appreciate all who read and listen to my books. And for those who rate and review it, a special thanks to you. Happy Reading! Katharine

I was looking forward to Book 4 in this series and got right into it. I was glad I did! So far, books in this series are all feel good stories. The characters for the most part are adorable, and with the good descriptive writing I seemed to be right there with them. I liked all the Irish talk and culture as well.
Okay, let's be real: our lives are not often filled with so many totally beautiful, loving and lovable, smart, witty, enjoyable, and often happily quirky people (not to mention extremely kind and hard-working). So, this is the author's gift to us--escapism--life as we would like it to be-- and I love it. Thank you, Katherine, you are good for wounded souls who have learned to pull up their socks and keep on trucking, and you also speak to the larks in this world!
Some grammar and spelling errors, but they don't take away from the story-telling.
My suggestions: The story should have been longer with more details following the new relationship. I’m waiting for someone to actually get married. Obviously, we are being groomed to purchase future book(s) in the series.
I am so happy that Chloe and Conor became a couple!! Chloe is like a fairy princess, so sweet and kind but she is a redhead so she does speak her mind and has a temper when pushed! Conor is Clary's best friend & has known Chloe his whole life then bam fate plays her hand and the two see each other as more than friends. Conor is also who everyone can depend on and is always helpful, he as well can be pushed to show his ginger temper...Quinn loved the punch you got! I adore this family, the vivid pictures of Ireland and its amazing people! This story continues with all the couples stories! Planning a wedding, falling in love, family & friends. This story has it all, laughter, tears, smiles frustration with a dodgie Quinn, I'm not sure he wasn't involved in nefarious activities toward Chloe but alas that's not come to light in this story. On to the next book and sibling to fall head over heels in love and continue to make Sidna a happy mammy! 🍀💚
Chloe: The Siblings O’Rifcan Book 4. This is the story of the final child of the O’Rifcans. Chloe was always trying to help others even as a little girl. Her favorite place to think things over and get herself back to her center is overlooking the cliffs at Claron’s farm. It is here that they say the fairies are born. Chloe runs the flower shop in town as well as helps at the town’s restaurant and B&B when she is needed. Conor McCarthy has been a family friend forever. Their parents were friends. After her husband’s death, Mrs. McCarthy and her son opened a restaurant which did well enough to support them. When he is not working on carpentry, etc., Conor helps at the restaurant. Right now, he is finishing up the remodeling of half of the flower shop and turning it into Layla’s potion palace. However, she keeps changing her mind and adding things to be done before the opening. Chloe thinks she is taking advantage of her and sets out to try to stop her.
Five stars isn't enough for how much I loved this book. It's my favorite so far of the series. I always liked Conor and Chloe both as side characters in the other books, so I was ecstatic to find out they find their way to each other. This book has such a sweetness to it. Both characters are the kind you just want to hug. They're good people who will do anything for anyone else and get taken advantage of a little bit - especially Conor. It was fun to watch them realize their feelings were changing and go from friendship to confusion to more. Plus, the way all these Irishman and women speak is just so charming. I want to go live there.
Chloe is the baby sister in the O'Rifcan family. She loves her family and her home town and thinks she'll never find her own love as long as she stays in this town. But has she been blind to what's right in front of her? Conor is her brothers best friend and like a brother to her. Watching these two grow past their friendship is a treat. These two are both caring and generous to a fault. My only regret is I now have to wait for Murphy's book.
I was hoping Chloe and Conor would become a couple from reading the previous books. I liked that they were family friends first. Like the other books the feelings didn't really show until towards the end. I feel like the stories are unfinished in that you have to read the next book to see what happens with previous characters. I do plan on reading Murphy but I might read a few other things first.

It's a book that you want to wrap yourself in. Does anyone else put an alert in their calendar so they can get the next book as soon as possible? Chloe's book did not disappoint me. I was surprised at how tender and wonderful it was, just like her character. Sometimes it's so disappointing that these are just books and not my real life friends.
This was probably my favorite of the series so far. I have enjoyed this series so much! I love the way Conor and Chloe have come together in this book. I can’t wait for the last book (bitter sweet) to see how Katherine ties everything up. I’m not ready to say goodbye to the O’Rifcan family
I enjoyed the book, BUT, I was disappointed that Chloe wasn't the central character. The bulk of the book was about Rhea and her upcoming wedding and all the wedding planning - it did get tiring and I found myself skipping over parts of it. I liked Chloe's character and wished there had been more about her.
This series is so fun to read and it is set in Ireland. The characters are fun. The story is full of twists & turns. It is a page turner. I am ready for the last book. Read this series.
