Driving Maisie Crazy by Deborah M. Hathaway, Book Review

 

Book Summary:

“What happens on an Irish bus tour stays on an Irish bus tour…”

Maisie King:

• Blonde American
• Meny creater for a future restaurant 
• Dress-with-sneakers wearer
• Two-time county fair winner for Junior Market Hogs
• On her way to the Emerald Isle for the first time ever

And she. can’t. wait.

After three months sampling the best food Europe has to offer, Maisie and her aunt finally arrive for their two-week-long bus tour around Northern Ireland, the land of Maisie's ancestors. 

With plans to be chauffeured from pub to castle to historical site, Maisie has all the time in the world to eat all the food, take all the photos, absorb all the inspiration, and find all the recipes she needs for her soon-to-be-opening restaurant. This is going to be a breeze.

Or so she thinks. As her American luck has it, Maisie’s plan to get anything done at all is promptly thrown out the window the second she spies the group’s tour guide—the too-attractive-for-his-own-good Finn O’Meara.

Now, instead of working while being driven around, she’s distracted to high heaven with Finn’s nearly impossible to understand accent and his overly confident smile. Not to mention his constant flirting and his charming flat cap and his dark eyes constantly darting away from hers in the rearview mirror and, well, you get the picture.

But Maisie doesn’t have time to get distracted. She’s there for research and research alone. She’s not about to allow this Northern Irish heartthrob to distract her. But when her aunt has to go home due to a sudden emergency, Maisie's resolve begins to weaken.

Luckily, tour guides aren’t allowed to fraternize with their passengers. Unluckily, this tour guide doesn’t seem to care about the rules…

My Review:

I loved this romcom set in Northern Ireland, from the scenery to the characters. Maisie and Finn were absolutely delightful and I could not get enough of them! Finn’s teasing and gentle kindness was endearing. And that accent! *sigh* I loved Maisie’s quirks and especially the food journal was a fabulous part of the story and the flirting was on point! Everyone should have friends like Finn’s and their loyalty to each other was what people dream of. Who wouldn’t want a circle like that? I need more and I hope they each get their own book! If you like romcoms, swoony moments, slow build romance, and all of the feelings, then you need Driving Maisie Crazy in your hands right now! Five stars!

I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Happy Reading!!!
