When Shannon gets roped into playing tour guide for James, she doesn't expect to find herself liking him. I loved how she and Shannon's mom, Nora, could bring the family under control with just a few words.

Christmas in the Little Irish Village - Goodreads

I laughed and cried in equal measure… Thought-provoking and full of great characters, I’ll read more from this author. She arrives at Benmore House late and flustered, only to discover the builder working with her on the renovation project is none other than Ryan O’Malley – the class prankster who was forever pinging her bra strap at school. For Christmas in the Little Irish Village, ’tis the season for chaotic family gatherings, snort-inducing encounters, and a spot of romance. Their second meeting is equally disastrous when she gives James the tour – without realising her skirt is tucked into her knickers!I'm so envious of the family/sister relationships and I adored the seriously relatable laugh out loud cringe worthy moments , and some teary moments.

Christmas in the Little Irish Village by Michelle Vernal

Vernal’s humor pops through at just the right moments, especially in times of high drama, keeping things generally light and festive as romance slowly blossoms in the background. Additionally I adore the warm fuzzy feeling this book gives me the atomhphere you can imagine in your head especially when you think of all the smells of the amazing food. In a fun twist, Vernal packs in two separate meeting moments for Shannon and James, with both of them providing some embarrassment for Shannon. Shannon has known kind Maeve since she was a little girl and feels protective of her, so she’s determined to find out the truth.

The banter between the main protagonist Shannon and her family and friends had me smiling so much throughout the book that my husband must of thought I was mad. Shannon remains very suspicious of his motives and despite being attracted to him, cannot totally feel at ease. Spending more time with Ryan, she discovers that, behind his warm smile and generous ways, he’s nursing heartache.
