Ballybeg is full of characters and you just want to spend time with them. This book has it all it has a second chance romance, a murder mystery, incompetent police officers and an ending no one saw coming. Another great story in this series.

When Ms Keane contacted me to ask if I was interested in reading the latest installment of her Ballybeg series, of course it was an instant yes!
Each book in this series just keeps getting better and better. And I don't think I am exaggerating when I say I fall in love with each and every one of the leading men!
I loved the tension between Jonas and Olivia. Their history has not been the greatest, so you get that love/hate vibe off both of them.... though it is more a "hate that I love" vibe.
You just know from the first time you meet both Jonas and Olivia that things are going to be fiery - and fun. And that they are! As they get dragged into the biggest crime in Ballybeg in decades, things start to heat right up.
But of course things never run smoothly when half the town sticks their nose in your business (believe me, I live in a small town and you sneeze and someone the next street over says bless you!!)
Gah, Olivia's mother. What a piece of work. No, actually, there is only one way to describe her - selfish bitch! I wanted to slap the crap out of her! Every time she turned up on the page I could feel myself tensing up, wondering what she was up to this time!
We also get more of the ladies and gents from the previous two books, Love and Shenanigans and Love and Blarney. But I have to say, the scene stealer in this book is Jonas' son, Luca. You just never know what is going to come out of his mouth - and don't let him near the punch bowl!!!
So, will Jonas and Olivia get their happy ending, or will it all be to much for them to overcome?
Nope, for that you are going to have to read for yourself.
Ms Keane has a great way of getting the imagery across in her writing. You can feel yourself getting immersed in the world of Ballybeg.
Can't wait to see where she takes me next!

Honestly this was a good book, I just don't think that this is my favorite genre. The characters of Jonas and Olivia are well-written and I love the single dad angle, and independent woman angle....things were just paced too slowly for me. The murder mystery doesn't come up until more than halfway through the book, the romance begins only just before that.....so overall, too long and drawn out for my tastes. A good book, though, that worked for me for multiple challenges. Just not my preferred genre.
