Ambitious and hardworking, Chris O’Shea is running a catering firm in Dublin during the last, heady days of the Celtic Tiger. Things are going well until her wild, reckless sister Becky returns home from New York and Chris feels duty bound to give her a job in the firm, which doesn’t help improve business. Her life is further complicated when she makes the acquaintance, in rather embarrassing circumstances, of a handsome Spanish businessman, who turns her thoughts, despite herself, from that straight and narrow path of career and ambition. This turn of events teaches her that you must love people they way they are and not how you would want them to be.

Set in Dublin and the Irish countryside, the story is brimming with fun, food, fashion and frolics all the way to its romantic conclusion.

The wild, beautiful landscape, the small villages and the friendly people of that county have inspired her to write her feel-good stories. She's been inspired to represent people of all ages and walks of life, with lots of romance, and more than a dash of humour.

When she is not writing or reading by the fire, Susanne loves heading for the great outdoors, walking on the beaches or scaling the green hills of her favourite county.

A fun, romantic comedy. You know the heroine, Chris O’Shea, will end up with the guy in the end – it’s almost a requirement of the genre. But how they’ll reach that point and the many miscues in getting there is where the fun is anyway. A light and light-hearted read that will keep you laughing. It’s so much funnier when it’s happening to someone else, isn’t it?

Read this one as the follow on from Duty Free. It tied in nicely. You could see what would happen, but that didn't mean the storyline wasn't still exciting and stayed interesting throughout. Lovely fun romantic story.
