Synopsis

'If you like Irish humor this is the book for you!' Reader Review'A lovely warm, family orientated story with endearing characters.' Reader ReviewEvery guest who comes to stay at O’Mara’s Guesthouse in Dublin has a story to tell. The little red fox who visits the bins in the courtyard has a tale of his own as do the long serving staff, and the O’Mara family themselves have had their fair share of ups and downs too…Aisling O’Mara. Her heart was broken once and she won’t let it happen twice. Besides, she’s far too busy managing the guesthouse, shopping for designer shoes and learning to salsa dance for love. She’s built a fortress as impenetrable as the Berlin Wall around her heart.Now her former fiancé has reappeared in Dublin, and he’s determined to knock that wall down. Can she trust him or, has love been stepping on her toes all along?Una Brennan’s booked into the guesthouse she used to walk past each morning when she was a young girl, full of hopes and dreams. She left Dublin more than fifty years ago vowing she’d never set foot in the city again. What devastating event caused her to leave, and what’s brought her back now?Other people's problems are easy to solve, and when these two very different women share a late night pot of tea they might just open each other's eyes to the possibility of learning to love again.

A delight I so enjoyed this story so much. I was wishing we had a guest house like O'Maras here. I enjoyed the characters and felt I knew each one personally. They were very believable and easy to get to know.......more
