Snuggle up in your favourite armchair and take a trip across the Irish sea for comfort food, cosy cottage nights and a heart warming romance…Talented lawyer Hannah Campbell is after a change in her workaholic Manchester life – so on an uncharacteristic whim she books herself a place at the world-renowned Killorgally Cookery School in County Kerry. But on her first night In Ireland, sampling the delights of Dublin, Hannah can’t resist falling for the charms of handsome stranger Conor. It’s only when Hannah arrives at her postcard-pretty home at Killorgally for the next twelve weeks that she discovers what happens in Dublin doesn’t quite stay in Dublin…
Nestled amongst rolling green hills and breath taking countryside, the cookery school throws Hannah and Conor together again–for better or worse.
Thank you to Rachel for letting me take part in this tour and to One More Chapter for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I have a lot of Julie’s books on my TBR pile but shockingly this is the first one I have read.
Hannah is a very cautious person and has spent her life being the safe one. I really liked Ireland Hannah as she called herself. I thought she needed to let herself go a bit and this was the perfect opportunity.
Conor, Conor, Conor. Be still my beating heart. What a gorgeous, kind down to earth man. I am a sucker for an Irish accent, so I very quickly fell for him.
I loved the other students at the cooking school. Fliss and Jason’s back and forth was very entertaining. I loved Merry and Izzy too such sweeties. All that cooking did give me the munchies though so make sure you are well supplied on snacks.
I LOVED the kayaking scene. This scene encapsulates everything I love about this book. It was funny, magical and romantic.
I really enjoyed this romantic escape. Julie’s style is everything I love in a romcom book and I will definitely be reading more of her books.
