Series: Wilder Irish Book #4
Stand Alone Title: yes
Author: Mari Carr
Genre: Romance
Blurb: They say two heads are better than one.
Fiona Adams has a man problem—she has too many in her life. And thanks to her unconventional family, she’s wondering if she even has to settle for just one. Owen is the sweet boy (turned sexy man) she dated in college; Asher is the hot hunk starring in too many current fantasies. Both, unfortunately, are her coworkers, part of the writing team for the hit sitcom Wild Winters. She’s lucky her dear friend and third writing partner, Teddy, is gay, or she’d really be in trouble.
Fiona’s resigned herself to having neither man…until the team decides to film the sitcom’s season finale in her family’s bar, Pat’s Pub. While in Baltimore, under the influence of her crazy family and a wild April Fools party in the Collins Dorm, Owen and Asher take matters into their own hands—literally.
Soon, between all the hot nights and real-life drama, the team can barely concentrate on work. It’s becoming a case of life imitating sitcom…even more so when Fiona’s most recent ex, Mr. Big Gesture himself, shows up to win her back—with his biggest gesture yet.
Thoughts: Well, let me say the book is aptly named – I definitely felt like I was caught up in an April fool’s joke! As a reader, you may feel like you know from reading the blurb how this story is going to go, but let me assure you that you don’t. It strays so far off the path (and in more ways than one!) that I just did not enjoy it at all. A lot of it felt rather pointless to be included, at least to me. I’m not going to go in a lot of detail, but there are a lot of surprises in this story for the reader – so be prepared for an unexpectedly wild ride. It just wasn’t for me.
