My Glasthule Guy by Tarin Lex is the third book in the multi-author Kiss Him, He's Irish! series. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day our fearless h Bella travels to Ireland. She is a southern girl who lives in Savannah, Georgia and writes travel articles, blogs and social media posts along her way. Bella takes usually seven trips a year with two of them being international and the other five staying in the USA. To decide on her destinations Bella likes to close her eyes and throw a dart, and where it lands she where she ends up. So when the dart landed on Dublin Bella was all in. But after experiencing Dublin for five days of 'Craic' she throws another dart and takes a trip to the the small seaside town of Glasthule. There she meets Roan, the HIB (Hot Irish Bartender), when she stops in Ye Olde Flute because she likes the looks of it. Roan is a devilishly handsome and sexy Irishman who will let you buy the shirt off his back......no he really sells the shirt off his back and he will take it off right in front of you. Let's just say that Bella gets a really good look at just what HIB has under that t-shirt, twice actually. There is more than a little flirting, some dancing, a few drinks and then a whole lot of smoldering sexy explosions between these two. It is a magical night for both of them as they fall madly for each other, but can it really be love in such a short amount of time? Before morning Bella has fled but Roan is not about to let her get away from him so easily. Where she goes he will throw his own dart and follow, finally catching her two months later in Paris. In the end he finds his pot-of-gold at the end of a southern peach rainbow in the city of love. But she has a surprise for him also that will make him speechless but makes it like finding two pots.
This is a charming, laugh out loud funny, sexy and romantic story that I loved. Tarin has incorporated a lot of Irish Gaelic words, phrases and some swear words into the story which was a whole lot of fun to read, with there even being a few I had not heard before. This story makes you want to see the lush green fields of Ireland and find your own lucky leprechaun and steal his pot-of-gold....or your own HIB!!!
Cute short story. I actually enjoyed this one a bit more than the others. It’s still super insta-love and all, but sometimes those work out for me.
Bella is a travel journalist and this time her assignment lands her in Ireland over Saint Patrick’s Day. She walks into a pub and sees a Hot Irish Bartender. Roan actually owns the pub. They dance and end up making it to his room for some fun. 😉
Roan wakes up to find her gone to her next assignment and has no idea where it is. But he loves her so apparently he’s going to find her and leave it up to “fate.”
The end was pretty cute. I enjoyed this for a super quick short story. Plus it’s Saint Patrick’s Day (okay, it’s a few days after but not the point, lol) and I love me some holiday-themed stories.
PS. “BBW?” Not sure about that... I guess I’ll have to assume because aside from the terms “big badonkadonk” and a few “curves” here and there, Bella wasn’t really described as such.
A sweet, funny ,romantic, steamy and totally safe story without drama and with a sweet HEA. Bella and Roan fell instantly in love and nothing could stop them.
Bella is my kind of girly, girly, take charge, goes for she want and not afraid. Don’t know if I would be brave enough to throw a dart on a map and travel the globe alone.
Bella is a writer and once every seven years she throws caution to the wind and throws a dart on the world map and where it lands, she goes. This time her journey takes her to Ireland where she meets pub owner Roan.
Bella is flirting with Roan and he is taking it all in. They’re talking having good conversation, dancing and having drinks. Bella propositions Roan on the dance floor and he takes her up on her up on her offer. They go to bedroom above the pub and this is where things heat up. Afterwards they go for a romantic walk and things heat up again once they’re back at the pub. Morning comes and Bella is gone. Roan is feeling some kind of way and he really misses Bella and she misses him. Bella once again throws caution to the wind and ends up in Paris and my guy Roan finds her and they both realize that they love each other and want to be together.
These short novellas pack a lot punch, they are straight to the point. If you’re looking for a short HEA this is the book to read. There is a bonus epilogue for Roan and Bella.

Bella doesn't have a well paying job as a columnist but a good enough one that she can save up some money to travel outside of the U.S. She picks each of the places by throwing a dart at her map with her eyes closed.

Roan has followed his dream and is the bar owner of Ye Olde Flute. When Bella enters Roan's bar, they both feel an instant connection that could possibly turn out to be a long term relationship. When Bella decides to explore more of Europe after their night together, Roan knows that he can't give up the best thing that has ever happened to him. He embarks on his journey to find Bella. This is a short and fast read that is just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

Bella is from the U.S. and has an adventure blog where she throws a dart at the world map and goes there. Right now she is in Ireland on St. Pattys Day. Tired of crowds, she throws the dart again and ends up in a small town not far away. In a pub, she meets Roan, the owner and they have a delightful fun evening. Both fall hard and fast, but she is gone the next morning.
The characters are the storyline are terrific, so heartwarming and sure. Two months later when something happens, Roan shows up at the door. Fate brought them back together at the perfect time and Roan is not taking any more chances. The epilogue was perfect, with mother-in-law taking the lead. Well done.

I really liked this story. It was an entertaining and enjoyable St. Patrick's Day holiday romance. The characters were interesting and likable. Bella was sweet but sassy and adventurous. Roan was a big teddy bear with a heart of gold that knew what he wanted as soon as he met her. I loved their interactions. Bella's flirting cracked me up. I could practically see Roan blushing from her question, although I do feel that he brought that on himself with his comment about stripping. I loved their happy ever after but I do wish there was another epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

Bella is a writer who lets fate or the throw of a dart, decide where she goes. When she ends up in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day what more fun could be had. Roan lives for his bar, when Bella walks in to his bar, she takes his breath. Bella and Roan have an amazing chemistry that lead to a night of passion, but in the morning will the fates bring the back together.
This hot sweet story is a great on for St. Patrick's Day. Hot, steamy and full of passion will have you losing yourself page after page.

Bella has the coolest job! She documents her travels on a video and photo documentary. She closes her eyes, throws a dart towards a world map and then goes where the dart lands. Fate has landed Bella in Dublin, Ireland. She decides to go to a pub and meets Roan, the owner of the pub. Bella is so quirky and cute. I loved her stream of consciousness ramblings, both in her head and her dialogue with Roan. I loved that Roan was so taken with Bella from the first moment he saw her. Once they came together, it was fireworks.
Bella was born to travel, but yearned for more.

First things first; I like the cover of this book! My glasthule guy is a novella in the ‘’kiss him, he’s Irish’’ collection. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Bella is an American writer/blogger that loves to travel. When she ends up in Ireland and meets Roan will she want to stay? The chemistry between Bella and Roan is clear to see and I liked them together. I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.
I thought that this was a really good book. Bella and Roan are really cute together. Bella never stands in one place for long while Roan has never left home. These two seem like opposites but they are perfect for each other. I really enjoyed the connection and he chemistry between Bella and Roan. These two have a wonderful night together before Bella is off again but Roan won't let her get away. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it.

An exciting read as travel writer, Bella was in Ireland on St. Patrick's day, when she ends up going in a small town pub where her and the owner, Roan soon hit it off going upstairs for some alone time. Bella left early the next morning, before Roan had a chance to be up and around. When he came downstairs looking for Bella, his waitress convinced him that he should follow her and bring her back. He was not sure how he was going to find her, but he knew he would. A story of insta-love and fate.

Bella is a travel writer and ends up in Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day. She goes into a bar that seems to be a bit calmer then the rest and meets Roan. She starts flirting and dancing with him and finds out he’s the owner of the bar. He has planted roots in his home where Bella is a traveller. Will they find a common ground and stay together? This was a sweet quick read. The story was engaging and enjoyable. Bella and Roan had a chemistry that was amazing and real. Great story in this He’s Irish series. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Insta-love??? CHECK! Possessive alpha??? CHECK! Over-the-top??? CHECK! Tarin has fantastically captured such a heart-warming, insta-love, St. Patrick's Day story! He's the owner and bartender of his own pub and she's a traveling journalist. She's in Dublin, Ireland documenting the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. After she finishes in Dublin, she leaves the madness in search of a more quiet celebration. She met Roan and they were instantly attracted. I really liked this short story.
This is yet another great story by Tarin Lex. She brings characters to life and also bringing the characters together. She brought these two together in another country and they hit it right off just to have her run away the next morning. Leaving him to wonder where she went and if he can find her. But he knows deep down he will find her it is just a matter of time.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this quick story about Roan and Bella. She's a columnists and he's the owner of a pub in Ireland. They meet when she takes a chance and stops at his pub. It's an instant connection between the two that sets their life on a whirlwind of changes. Great HEA.

I liked this story, it was enjoyable. It's a very, very insta-love romance. What's starts as a one night stand soon turns into a lot more. Roan is very much a home body, close to family and owns his own business, whereas Bella is happy to travel and go wherever a dart in the map takes her. Both characters are honest and easy to like. I have no idea how Roan manages to track Bella down, especially in the huge city she ends up in. Quick read with a HEA.
Bella with her map and dart find love in Ireland when she meets bar owner Roan , a sweet insta love romance at it's best , it's a great storyline that's pulls you in straight away until you get to the end , it's a definite must read from me

This is the third book in the Kiss Him, He's Irish series. It's a well-written fast-paced quick to read novella, the storyline is fun, sweet and steamy. Belle travels the world on a whim and by luck and chance, she ends up at Roan's pub and the attraction between them sizzles.
A vacation for Bella in Glasthule where she meets Roan, will make some life changing decisions. A one night stand that leaves a lasting impression on both, will two opposites walk away or learn how to compromise in life. A sweet holiday ready for St Patrick’s day, that will bring out the Irish charm.
I am voluntarily leaving a review for this book that I received free.
Bella’s direction in life is ruled by a map and a dart. What is the probability that she’ll end up in a town, in a pub where she’ll find the love of her life? And the probability of Roan finding her when she left without any clue as to where she is going? Very low probability unless fate decrees it.
