Katie Collins has barely ever left her tiny Irish village of Ennisbawn. Why would she? With its tightknit community, friendly local pub, surrounded by glistening lakes and perfectly mysterious forests, itâs a place of peaceful beauty.
Or it was peaceful. Until Callum Dempsey turned up. Part of a hotshot (and, Katie has to admit, hot is annoyingly apt for him...) development team with zero eye for beauty or charm, heâs not only building a hideous hotel just outside the village, heâs also just announced a plan to knock down Ennisbawnâs only remaining pub. To make way for a view from the golf course.
Itâs the final blow to the village and the last straw for Katie, who refuses to let her home-from-home disappear. The pub is her lifeâher job, but also her last connection to her parents, who had met at Ennisbawnâs once-famous matchmaking festival that was held in the grounds.
But, after being laughed off the building site in her best flannel pyjamas for demanding the builders leave, Katie decides enough is enough and hatches a plan. Sheâs going to revive the matchmaking festival, save the pub, and single-handedly bring the town back to life again.
She might even help her two best friends find love as well. Since, heck, whatâs another project when youâre taking on the worldâs hottest, evilest man?
But what Irelandâs newest matchmaker doesnât know is that even when someoneâs really not your type on paper, love might be a little bit more than just a formula....
A gorgeously escapist and utterly hilarious small town romcom perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sophie Kinsella, and Christina Lauren.
