An O'Brien Family Christmas Book Review

I made a special trip to the library because I was out of books!  What!?!?!  I read all the books in my pile and I had to get more.  I was lost without the great O'Brien family and I had to find out what was going to happen next.  The great news is that the library I stopped at had the next two in the series and just to be on the safe side, I put the other two on hold.  Sadly, when I finish those four, I will be done with the series.  I am hopeful that more will be added because I don't know what I will do without my new family!!  The next one in the pile to read is An O'Brien Family Christmas (A Chesapeake Shores Novel) by Sherryl Woods.  I love a good Christmas book was I was excited to start!

Dating Matthew O'Brien, a playboy and a younger man, cost Laila Riley her career and her parents' respect. A high price, even for love and when Laila decides it was just a fling, she breaks it off, despite Matthew's objections.  But the O'Brien family has other ideas, and they conspire to get Laila to join them on a Dublin holiday. It's a great time to get away from it all, but Laila has reservations about the trip. Matthew's bound to be there, and she's far from immune. What if she can't resist temptation?  Meanwhile, the O'Briens are in an uproar over matriarch Nell's unexpected romance with an old flame. Will she follow her heart, despite the risks? And will Laila discover that some risks are actually once-in-a-lifetime opportunities?

I loved this book!  It was the first one that was out of the little town of Chesapeake Shores and set in Ireland.  It was great to see this big extended family enjoy each other without work and other distractions.  There was still a lot going on with all of the family members working to bring Laila and Matthew back together.  I thought that it might have been the best book yet with ups and downs for all of the characters, I was riveted.  I hope that you check it out and see for yourself all of the wonders that Ireland and the O'Brien family have to offer.  Check it out at your local library or bookstore.
