Ok, I know I'm showing my age, a lot of you must remember Sex in the City but I bet fewer will be familiar with the 60's television show, Green Acres where a successful lawyer moves to the country with his 5th Avenue wife to work a farm. Reading Summer at Castle Stone by Lynn Marie Hulsman reminded me of the two shows. At first I was bored and a little disappointed in the main character, Shayla Sheridan. You see she comes from money and status and wanted to make it as a writer. She had I thought at the beginning a "poor little me attitude" and I thought she needed a little more get on with it! But I promise you once you get past the first few chapters and she heads to Ireland to write a cook book that a cute famous chef doesn't want written you won't be able to put it down. I loved how Ms. Hulsman captured the charm of Ireland and it's people. The quirky inhabitants of Castle Stone will welcome the reader and give them a real glimpse how a successful hotel runs. Twists and turns and not knowing whether Shayla and Chef O'Grady can find true love with each other will keep you turning the page, and theirs is NOT the only love story! ;)
