In the stunning backdrop of Ireland, love, laughter, and tears seem like the perfect recipe for romance. I appreciate your brief synopsis of the book. Congratulations to the BOTD author!

Between your review and the bok's sample, I am hooked! I love a good romance novel, and this book, "Niamh" seems to be one of those. I can't wait to read it!

The review makes me interested, even though romance books aren't really my vibe. I just might check it out now! Thanks!

Mark and Niamh were immediately attracted to each other. Their lives seem to go in separate directions, but perhaps they will find each other again. It will be enjoyable to read about landmarks in Ireland, as I find it very interesting to discover the history behind them. It must have been quite a change for Mark to relocate to Ireland, change his name and embark upon a whole new life. Small-town living seems to be the same all over the world, with people becoming involved in one another's lives and everyone knowing everyone else. Thank you for the insightful review.

Niamh starts with kind of first at love sight kind of story with light romance. It feels realistic when you read the book. Keeps you going, and the sample ended. Actually I did not want to read the review for it may spoil the mood but it wasn't. Thanks for that.

This review has sparked my interest. I have Irish ancestors and long to learn more about Ireland and its people. This story has a lot of Irish references. I hope Niamh and Mark are able to reunite. I could definitely get lost in this book. :techie-studyinggray:

Unfortunately, the romance is not the genre I find appealing to my tastes, because there isn't much intrigue aside from who ends up with whom and the emotional turmoil that accompanies the whole process. I might sound cynical, but this is my opinion and I mean no offense. I will have to pass it, but still congratulations on BOTD!

I sampled the book, and I kind of love the beginning mood of the book. Romance stories are always attractive and emotional. I look forward to reading about Alfred's story soon. Congratulations to the BOTD author!

This romantic novel seems like Mark and Niamh fell in love at first sight and they didn't get any information about each other and thus they were always looking for each other but none had the others information or whereabouts and I'm glad to read and see how their story unfolds.

The plot felt very real because of the charming yet intrusive characters in the small-town environment. The detailed explanations of Ireland's historical places drew me in, too; it was as though Mark and I were traveling the nation together.
I believe in something greater than myself.

This charming romance book blends passion and conflict against a backdrop of iconic Irish locations. It appears that Mark and Niamh lead an impossibly romantic life. Other advantages include the third-person omniscient narrative and well-developed supporting cast. Congrats on BOTD.

Thank you for a wonderful review. This books sounds like a gorgeous, intriguing and humorous love story. I don’t usually read romance but because of all the other interesting points like the detail around the historical sites of Ireland I may have a read. Well done on #BOTD
