Return to Roses, North Carolina in this delightful third installment of Josie Riviera’s 1-800 series. This time we meet Kathleen Kelly, who has recently moved from Ireland to open a new teahouse in Roses. She discovers that getting her new business up and running by St. Patrick’s Day is going to be a time consuming chore.

Rob Taylor, who is a friend of Kathleen’s realtor, owns a chain of bakeries in Miami and has been recruited to come visit to see what he can do to help. He is not your stereotype romantic hero: Rob is an overweight, bald, and older man.

This is a romance, so there is no surprise to the reader when the two are attracted to each other. The relationship appears to be flourishing in spite of the age difference before Kathleen suddenly pulls back from her connection with Rob.

Is there a way to repair the hurt? He owns his bakeries and she has her teahouse. Can they work something out?

This novella is a clean, Christian romance. Pick up your copy of 1-800-Ireland to find out the rest of the story. ( )

1-800-IRELAND: A Sweet Contemporary Romance Novella (Flipping For You Book 3) by Josie Riviera
Another great story from the author.
Have followed this series and enjoyed them all.
This one starts out with Kathleen who's relocated from Ireland to NC, a small town called Roses. She lives above her new store-a tea house serving real Irish bread to name a few items on her menu.
Candy, the one who set up the apartment and saw to all the new owners needs from the US side also has notified Rob, her friend in FL who bakes cakes and cupcakes in his own shop.
He's older and not quite the catch of the day-love this that he's just a regular guy and kinda out of shape.
kathleeen has it set in her dreams about her shop but Maureen knows she will need help. Rob needs time away from his own shop so travels there to see what it will need, in his opinion to make it a success.
He never expected to find Kathleen so charming! Like the challenge they take part it. So many lovely detailed descriptions, I can just picture it for real.
Loved hearing all about starting up the business-priceless information!
Some characters from the series make an appearance but you are given all details aobut them so you're not left in the dark.
This can be read as a standalone! Irish slang words are explained in the conversations they have.
Misunderstandings and you wonder if they will ever get back together to see if they have what it takes to be a couple.
Recipe included! Note from the author is included at the end.

Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion. ( )
