Book Synopsis
What happens when a quest to find the family castle leads to an unforgettable kiss?
Aurora Fairall—Rory to her friends—loves her jobs working at the village bookshop and the family castle-turned-boutique hotel, even if she sometimes wonders if this is all God has for her life. She knows she has much to be grateful for—her family, her friends, her faith—but she questions whether the special Fairall legacy that sees its members struck by Cupid’s arrow has passed her by. Until she meets Aidan Quinn—not the actor, but an Australian guest on a genealogical mission to discover his ancestry—and sparks fly.
Aidan never thought his visit to Ireland’s west coast would result in meeting a redheaded firecracker with a bewitching smile and pixie-like laughter. But obviously God knew better. And his quest to learn his kin’s history brings him into the warm embrace of this loud and loving family has helped heal his heart and gives hope that his future might be different to what he’d imagined. Until a question about the true ownership of a castle threatens everything he holds dear…
Can these two opposites find a future even though their lives are worlds apart? And just what role does the Fairall legacy have to play in matters of the heart?

Book Thoughts
Getting to meet Rory Fairall reminds me of just how stubborn I can be when I've jumped to a conclusion or how well I can place my foot in my mouth at the worst moment. As a result, I found Rory's meet-cute entirely too relatable. From there, it can only go up, right? Thankfully, her interactions with Aidan become much less awkward over time as they keep running into each other and discover that their family paths may be connected. Taking us to grand castles and charming bookshops, I appreciate that Carolyn Miller has the ability to transport us to so many wonderful locations in Ireland. I could picture the luxurious Castle Griffin Hotel and hear the lilting voices of Rory's mom and Aidan's grandmother in reading along.
Combining tense interactions with a mystery to be untangled, Rory and Aidan can't rely on themselves and need to turn to God. It is refreshing that they continue to trust in Him when it's a conundrum that isn't easily solved. Despite finding themselves in confusing circumstances, I appreciate that the characters are able to look past first impressions and that their hearts remain soft toward what God might want for them. If you are looking for an Irish adventure involving fun mix-ups, legal questions, and a dash of heroism, An Irish Kiss delivers on faithful love and heartfelt family interactions.
