The urge to contact an old boyfriend should be approached with extreme caution, I always say, begins Irish girl Aislin Moore...In this comic love story, twenty-six-year-old Aislin, a Dublin single mammy, is at a crossroads: while a lot of her life needs improvement, what she really needs is a father. Not for herself, mind, but for her young son, daddy-hungry Kevinshes determined to succeed at motherhood, if nothing else. So Aislin follows the mad impulse to track down the perfect father-figure for her little boy...who else but Ben Carpenter, her first love.
As handsome and charming as ever, Ben is soon mad about Kevin. Still, commitment-shy Aislin vows to keep things platonic, especially after her truly awful breakup with him seven years ago. But she has a way of mucking up her most inspired schemes. Tucked away in Ben's country manor house in County Galway, Kevin in tow, she finds herself falling in lust with Ben, yet she wonders if she can risk her heart a second time. A surprising gesture from her estranged father creates a seismic shift in her relationship with him, and Aislin embarks on a journey with unexpected results. In this heartfelt novel of love, family and forgiveness, will Aislin find her own fairy tale ending?
The Village of Ballydara series includes Mother Love, the holiday novel The Hopeful Romantic, and 2 short stories...The newest book of the series (#4), The Galway Girls, is now available!
Browne has done wonderful work in capturing Ireland's language, socioeconomic picture and current cultural milieu from pubs to puddings.
