As always in this series, a fabulous read. I enjoyed every word and have just started the next book.
I love the characters, especially the outrageous Mammy Maureen with her rather naughty poodle, Pooh. I just adore the Irish wit and sayings. They really make me laugh out loud.
I hope the series goes on for ever!

Escape to O'Mara Land

I have read this whole series and loved it. It is so much fun to escape to Ireland and the O'Maras escapades. I have laughed and cried with the ladies, so much fun.
Michelle Vernal writes in a way that makes you feel like you are right there . I have read many of her books during this pandemic and so glad that I discovered her books.

The story of the O'Mara girls, their beaus, their mammy and the guesthouse continue in this book (short - ). Aisling, married to Quinn, is dying to become pregnant, and is pressuring Quinn to "do it" night and day. Moira, however, dating Tom who works at the restaurant for Quinn, finds herself pregnant, to her chagrin, causing a rift with Aisling. Tom doesn't take the news well. Many tears are shed. Mammy finally goes to talk with Tom, who comes around. Much of the book deals with some back story about Jane, Bronagh's man friend Leonard's sister. She is an excentric hoarder, whose house is packed with things valuable and stinking garbage. She was raped as a teenager, which she kept secret, and told in flashbacks. Bronagh is surprised that Leonard has never introduced her to Jane when he comes from Liverpool on his semi-annual visits, staying at O'Mara's. She takes matters into her own hands.

I was a bit put off by Maureen O'Mara, she seemed to need to be competing with her daughters for attention. When the focus should have been on Moira and Bronagh's stories. Maureen ruined Moria and Bronagh story. With that said, Bronagh is a kind hearted woman, who will help any one. It doesn't matter if its a stranger or family member, she steps up when its needed. Leonard's sister has a story that is sad, a talented woman who is lost. Stuck in the past by a tragedy that was never resolved. While Moira and Tom can't see eye to eye on the current situation. It pulls them apart, each needing to figure out what is needed. Its up to Moira and Tom to choose the right path or Maureen O'Mara will once again be butting into their lives.

I Want to be part of this family

I usually skip the middle sections of books I read, but Michelle Vernal keeps me so entertained with her stories of the O’Mara family that I’ve read the entire book to insure I don’t miss anything.

I laugh a lot at the antics of the characters, but the humor is balanced with true to life situations. I can’t believe there are now 12 books in the series and I’m thrilled to have three more to read.

Hopefully Ms. Vernal writes quickly. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she will continue the series and not end the saga of the O’Maras.

Read this series, you won’t regret it.

I loved this book as I have loved all the books in this series. In this one, one of the sisters is pregnant….but which one? Bronagh's relationship with Leonard is moving along, but she still hasn’t met his sister Joan, which is annoying her. She takes it on herself to buy and cake and go and knock on Joan's door. Maureen and Donal are searching for their dream home so they can move in together. So much is happening, I laughed out loud and felt all the feels along with the characters.

Brilliant

Well yet again, what can I say? It was funny, with belly laughs. A real tonic as always. All you need for December in cold, rain, almost lockdown, Britain. Michelle, you hit the spot as always. Roll on May

I have read all the books in this series. I look forward to each new book. I love the characters. I laugh so much and cry here and there. A joyful read with true friendships and kindness. The Irish humour shines throughout and seems so familiar to me. I love Maeve Binchy’s books and these are so similar. Heart warming and definitely 5 star.

A real feel good read

Like the previous books in this series, this book has you drawn in from the first line. The interwoven stories make you feel as if you are actually there and are a part of it all.

All I can is, I am not getting anything done!!! I can't stop reading these books. Get yourself a drink,blanket and have your phone near by because once you start you won't be able to stop. Now onto book number 10!!!!!

Can't wait for the next one. Love this series, love the characters and their personalities. I laugh, I cry and cringe with the girls at their mothers antics.

Love this series. Wish the stories were longer

[Ama Kalma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining and funny

It could use as bit more depth and generational confrontation though. It falls flat at times, and the communication between the main characters superficial.

[Hilary Chandler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enjoyable lightweight reading.

[Sharon Coles · Rating 3 out of 5]

As much as I love the O’Mara family, I’m finding the series formula increasingly predictable and repetitive. That said, Due in March is still a quick, comforting read. It delivers plenty of wit, sharp banter, and heart-warming family dynamics to keep the pages turning.
