Unexpected Prince Charming #3
Through Crimson Irish Light
Ellie Buchanan has one goal: to become a world-renown stained-glass artist.
And she’s blessed with a billionaire father who encourages her dream. He’s treasured every piece of art she’s ever made: from the macaroni necklace in kindergarten to everything in her Etsy store now.
Literally everything in her shop—because in trying to be supportive, he keeps buying everything she makes. She has only one patron—her dad. How can she be a valid artist if he’s the only one who buys her creations?
Going to a newly opened arts center in the wilds of Ireland to teach and create an avant-garde installation is the perfect antidote to her father’s long reach. Freedom at long last! She has a clear window to realize her goal as well as a welcoming community behind her who doesn’t care about her father’s wealth.
And then there’s Brady McGrath, the village’s charming postman. Brady is the kind of guy widows give jams and jellies to and want their daughters to marry. He also has issues with his father, so they have that in common. All her life, she’s seen crimson light as the color of one’s truest love and passion, and she sees that with Brady.
Only her dad won’t let her cut the apron strings. When he arrives in the quaint Irish village, he’s determined to help her career and test her new boyfriend. His methods make her want to flee, but her heart wants her to stand her ground. Can she find a way to stop her father’s interference and follow her dreams in love and art? Maybe… Especially with the help from Brady, her new friends, and a matchmaking ghost.

The author captures your interest and your heart in this stunning story as part of the Enchanted Prince Charming series. Once again the angel/ghost Sorcha Fitzgerald guides two soulmates, Brady and Ellie, on their path to love. Of course it's not without a bundle of problems.
Ireland , and small town living, comes to life in her story. Her descriptions of the town, weather, and personalities make the story vibrate with truth. Now on to Declan's story!

The third book in the series has a glass artist who has changed her identity in order to "make it on her own".
"Fleeing to a newly opened arts center in the wilds of Ireland to teach and to create an avant-garde installation is the perfect antidote to her father’s long reach. Freedom—and the opportunity to share her art with a welcoming community who doesn't care that she's a secret heiress—at long last!
And then there’s Brady McGrath, the village’s charming postman. Brady is the kind of man who can quote Keats in one breath and take your breath away in the next. All her life, Ellie has seen crimson light as the color of passion and true love, and she sees that with Brady. More importantly, Brady sees her. Not as a billionaire's daughter or a headline heiress. He sees all her colors, knows all her dreams, and encourages her to reach for them.
Only her dad won’t cut the apron strings. He arrives in the quaint Irish village, determined to help her career and test her new boyfriend. She wants to flee—again, especially when her beloved art installation is threatened. But her heart wants her to stand her ground. Maybe with help from Brady, her new friends, and a matchmaking ghost, Ellie will find a way to follow her dreams in art and in love." synopsis copied

Crimson Irish Light
Brady, the friendly postman, meets the new artist from Boston, as she accepts a residency in glass art in his small town. Soon Brady knows Ellie is his soulmate. Through ups and downs they know they are meant to be together. The only thing I didn’t like was the frequent cursing, especially the “f” word. I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series and plan to read book 4 next.

A lovely story of faeries and true love
Another great story set in Ireland and continuing the thread commenced in the first book. I have thoroughly enjoyed this love story between Brady and Ellie, a true chemistry of love right from their first meeting. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Absolutely loved it
I'm loving this series. I found the stained glass part quite fun as I too do stained glass, although not to Ellie's expertise. Beautiful story line with fun believable people. As a 72 year old, Bet's and Donal's journey is a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Well done!

This was such a wonderful book. The entire Unexpected Prince Charming series is superb. The beautiful setting of Ireland and the quirky characters are amazing. I can hear the Irish lilt when I'm reading the book. There is a perfect combination of sadness, humor and love. I simply adore this series !

Truly a fun tale with a ghost, a nemesis, and true love challenges
I’ve really enjoyed this book and the series. I laughed, cried a bit and pumped my fist for the art center and townspeople. So much fun in a book. I recommend the book and series along with the companion audiobooks. The narrator is excellent.

Fun read in one day!
Ava continues to deliver with delightful characters from America invading the charming Irish village! The puzzling guidance from the returning ghost adds to the fun! The only bad thing I have to say is I hate the wait for the next installment in the series!

A nice surprise
I started out with immense dislike for two of the main characters - Ellie and her father Lincoln but as the story evolved I had a total change of heart. I really enjoyed this series and look forward to the next book

I love those damn fairies said Bets, and so do I!!!
This series warmed its way into my heart with the first book, but this one, oh my! I may or may not have cried. A wonderful story about trust, love and looking at things at its core. A must read!

Holy moly!
I couldn’t put this story down. I didn’t like Linc for a bit. But then came to see that he’s a good guy. Can’t wait to see what happens with Declan and Kathleen! Talk about sizzle!

February 24, 2024I am really enjoying the series. I can identify with the story line of the older couple. Some of their struggles are the same ones I am going through. The trials of the couples are everyday life.

I really love Ava’s work. I’m a Hugh fan of Ireland and a lot of her work stems from there. Her books bring so much joy to my life which is very much needed.
