Really, I just can't seem to stop-what with bookkeeping clients calling because they need their 1099's or w-2s done and handed or mailed out by 1/31-couple that with they keep changing the days I can come (my calendar is a series of cross outs and re-entries)and my job in NJ-well lets just say it has been interesting to say the least-I seem to be the last to find out anything and should have been the FIRST!!!!!! So I find myself fixing everything AFTER THE FACT.

Adding to her dilemma, she’s offered an amazing chance at a dream career of her own.ĭeep down, though, Moira knows home is the real prize, and that love can be every bit as enchanting as a summer garden. Scarred by her father’s abandonment, she wonders if Luke, with his playboy past, is truly the family man she longs for.

Given Luke’s reaction, Moira has some soul-searching of her own to do. A fling with this wild Irish rose is one thing, but forever? Maybe someday, but not when he’s totally focused on establishing a business that will prove his mettle to his overachieving family. So when she pays him a surprise visit to Chesapeake Shores, Luke is thrilled…at first. All I will say is, so I don’t spoil this book for you, it is a happily ever after (maybe) ending!!įalling for “Maddening Moira” O’Malley was the unexpected highlight of Luke O’Brien’s Dublin Holiday. This novel revolves around “Family” with all it’s ups and downs-a very close knit family! When Luke O‘Brien meets Moira O’Malley (in a previous book) sparks fly-Moira with her Grandfather come to America from Ireland-each with their own agenda. This is the 9th in the Chesapeake Shores series (guess who will be getting the rest of the series!). This book has kind of changed my feeling about the genre.
