Cathal O’Keeley is a charming flirt with a killer smile and sexy accent- everything Fiona Grant needs to avoid. He co-owns O’Keeley’s Irish Pub in Atlanta but lately spends more time at her small bar than his own. And he’s determined to seduce his way into her bed, the same way he does with every female. But she learned her lesson with another smooth-talking playboy she almost married.

But when Cathal finally lets his guard down, Fiona’s resistance starts to slip.

Fiona rejects every advance Cathal makes. But her laugh, that mass of red hair, and her intelligence make it impossible to walk away. After months of sitting at her bar, their relationship shifts away from being an uncomplicated, fun distraction from the pain of his past as other women are, to a friend.

And when being her friend means offering her his spare bedroom…the boundaries between friend and lover are bound to break.

I really liked the Friendship between Selena and Katie because it was awesome but i also like the strong friendship between Selena, Katie and Mara because you can see how much they care for each other and i liked that they took Fiona into the friendship group and made her feel like she was a part of the family which was sweet.. I also liked that Cathal worked though his past and wants to have a happy life with Fiona so he is working hard to make that happen.. The Way the brothers look out for each other is awesome and you can see they will do anything for each other..

⦁ Cathal [Lawyer, Brogan & Rian's Brother, Owns pub with brothers]
⦁ Fiona [Bar Owner]
⦁ Brogan [Boss of Pub, Married to Selena, Cathal & Rian's Brother, Owns pub with brothers]

⦁ Rian [Chef, With Mara, Cathal & Brogan's Brother, Owns pub with brothers]
⦁ Mara [Teacher, With Rian]

I like the way the brothers are close and how they own a Irish Pub together

I really enjoyed the relationship between Cathal and Fiona because they are so cute together.. I also liked the strong relationship between Cathal and his brothers Brogan and Rian.. You can see that the O'Keeley brother's are very Protective of their family and friends...

This trilogy was amazing and i really liked the 3 Irish brothers and i am glad to see that they are all happy..

This book was good! 4 stars!

I had high hopes for this one. Cathal was my favourite and this relationship was building from book 1. I still really liked it, but the drama with the driver was a bit much for me, and I didn't feel satisfied how that ended.

On the other hand, Cathal and Fiona were fantastic! He is a playboy with a heart of gold and a fear of his dark side. She's a rich girl who became a boss of her own destiny. When he comes to her aid, they find themselves in a fake relationship. One that... doesn't seem so fake. And Fiona won't let him just run away of everything they've built!

Totally enjoyed it!

Cathal O'Keeley enjoys seeing his two brothers' happiness with their new wives, and Brogan will soon be a father. That is not enough to make Cathal change his mind and allow a woman to be endangered by being in a relationship with him. He would rather flirt and have one-night stands than take that chance. Most women immediately fall for his smooth-talking, good looks but he has been regularly spending time at Fiona’s bar trying to get the beautiful redheads attention to no avail.

Fiona Grant has spent more than enough time with womanizing men and has no intention of being pulled in by Cathal’s flirty personality. He reminds her too much of Derek, the now ex-fiancée she caught in bed with her best friend on their wedding day. Cathal is a nice guy, and handsome, but he makes a better customer than a dating-prospect. If she can just get her parents and Derek to stop pressuring her to go through with the wedding she will be happy to remain single the rest of her life.

They find themselves pushed together by a series of circumstances that threaten their business and personal lives.

This is the third book in the series and I enjoyed it as much as the other two. I enjoyed the storyline and was rooting for Cathal and Fiona to find happiness. This is a good romance and I encourage you to read the first two books in the series so you get to know all the brothers.

Third book

I didn't like that there was a lot of buildup to him going to jail almost and then within two pages he found a solution when he could have found a solution quicker in the book. That's what annoyed me. There was also a very quick ending I felt like it was cut off and there could have been more added on to that epilogue.
I definitely loved and enjoyed the books but in the first one the brothers were more protective of Selena. And the second one they were not as protective over Mara.
And in this last book there's only one moment where Brog was protective.
I wanted to see more of the brothers getting involved and protecting the other brothers women but that wasn't the case in the rest of the series. It was still a good book but I was a little black down by the ending.

You know when you try out a new author and your not sure what to expect. Well that was me. But I didn’t need to worry at all, it was a great choice.

This is the last book in the series and I did my usual trick of starting with this one, I rarely ever get them in order, but it didn’t matter at all.

This was such a great story. It had amazing connections with all the characters, that just drew you in. You will find this really hard to put down but it will be so worth it.

I received this as a complimentary copy and I am giving my honest review voluntarily

Loved, loved this book...

It was great for so many reasons...the storyline..characters (who doesn’t like three Irish brothers with a brogue). Now I have to go back a read the first two..but I don’t know how it could beat this one...Palmer knows how to make a story flow and the ease to bring it to the HEA...little angst..who needs it when we have it in our daily lives..I’ve already ordered the book about the sheriff and Addie..read a bit about it at the end of this book I can’t wait to read it..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏻

Family

Strong, safe, comfortable, giving and loving. They'd do anything for each other. Always there for each other. These three men and their women...unconditional love. I didn't want their stories to end. I love this series.I look forward to reading more of her books. I normally only acquire free books but when I read a sample of this book I had to purchase the series. It's series that will keep to read again. Thank you.

I loved this story...

Her Irish Flirt is the third book in the O'Keeley's Irish Pub series. The characters are well developed, likable, and relatable. The storyline is well written, with an ex-fiancee, family issues, amazing chemistry, and a steamy romance.

I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

This is my first book by this author and I really liked it. There is soo much more than meets the eye with Cathal and Fiona is such a great match for him, she makes him face what is going on and doesn't let him hide.

I did not feel like I was missing anything by not reading the previous two stories.

Irish Southern American Tales

I enjoyed the character development of each of the three brothers. Them finding women to match their bravado, business sense and to not gove up on them carry’s throughout all 3 stories. I enjoyed all 3 stories greatly.
