Emily has stayed on Martha’s Vineyard, caring for her mother since her father left. She’s tired of the emotional abuse, and she’s ready for an adventure. Emily secured a position in Ireland, assisting her favorite author and working in a bookstore. She’s very excited but nervous.
On the first day, she realizes that the bookstore owner is the author’s son, and he does not want her there. Kieran gives her the horrible task of inventorying the shop, which has never been done, on an ancient computer. Sure, he looks like a hero from a romance novel, but he has the temperament of an ogre.
Emily’s not about to let him ruin her experience. The more they are thrown together, the more she understands him. But she’s thrown into a terrible position between mother and son and it could ruin everything.
LOVE AT FIRST BOOK is one of those novels that you don’t want to put down, but you don’t want it to end either. It leaves you with a book hangover. I immediately wanted to pass it along to all my friends. There’s so much to love about this book. The setting is amazing, a small town in Ireland where everyone knows everyone. I loved the relationship between Emily and Siobhan, the author. She provided a much needed mother figure in Emily’s life. Of course, the moments between Emily and Kieran are full of tension and chemistry. I laughed, I cried, and I sighed with happiness.
When a librarian moves to a quaint Irish village where her favorite novelist lives, the last thing she expects is to fall for the author’s prickly son… until their story becomes one for the books, from the New York Times bestselling author of Summer Reading.
Emily Allen, a librarian on Martha’s Vineyard, has always dreamed of a life of travel and adventure. So when her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, offers her a job in the Emerald Isle, Emily jumps at the opportunity. After all, Siobhan’s novels got Em through some of the darkest days of her existence.
Helping Siobhan write the final book in her acclaimed series—after a ten-year hiatus due to a scorching case of writer’s block—is a dream come true for Emily. If only she didn’t have to deal with Siobhan’s son, Kieran Murphy. He manages Siobhan’s bookstore, and the grouchy bookworm clearly doesn’t want Em around.
Emily persists, and spending her days bantering with the annoyingly handsome mercurial Irishman only makes her fall more deeply in love with the new life she’s built – and for the man who seems to soften toward her with every quip she throws at him. But when she discovers the reason for Kieran's initial resistance, Em finds herself torn between helping Siobhan find closure with her series and her now undeniable feelings for Kier. As Siobhan's novel progresses, Emily will have to decide if she’s truly ready to turn a new page and figure out what lies in the next chapter.
