She\u2019s not my biggest fan, but we can help each other and then go our separate ways. That she\u2019s beautiful and I enjoy spending time with her\u2013doesn\u2019t matter. When all of this is done, she\u2019s heading home to America, and I\u2019ve got a company to run.<\/p>\n<p>A fake wedding and a whole lot of whiskey.

mainly Dublin and Galway, with a trip to the Cliffs of Moher. \u00a0This is the first in a trilogy focused on the Murphy brothers, who have inherited the international Murphy Pub chain from their father.<\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\"><\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\">Connor is, to put it mildly, a playboy &#8211; one character calls him &#8220;Hottie McLucky-abs&#8221; &#8211; and the middle of the Murphy brothers. \u00a0So much so that he wakes up the morning of the reading of his father&#8217;s will in bed with a woman he doesn&#8217;t even remember picking up. \u00a0That he&#8217;s &#8211; almost &#8211; on time for the meeting at all is thanks to Fallon, his older brother&#8217;s assistant. \u00a0Fallon&#8217;s been on the job for six months, and it&#8217;s not the first time she&#8217;s had to play nanny over the phone for Connor. \u00a0Connor&#8217;s in for a day of surprises, though. \u00a0First, when he bumps into Fallon (dumping coffee all over her) and realizes that the nagging voice on the phone belongs to a beautiful woman, and secondly, when he finds out that the conditions of his father&#8217;s will state that, to inherit the company, each of the brothers must marry within a year. \u00a0After dinner and drinks (as an apology for spilling coffee all over her), Connor&#8217;s beginning to think that a marriage of convenience to Fallon is the answer to his problems. \u00a0Though they seem like complete opposites, they both want to do what&#8217;s best for their families, and, in this case, that entails marrying each other. \u00a0For Connor, it fulfills his part of the requirements of his dad&#8217;s will so he can keep the company in the family, and for Fallon, she gets the money to keep her beloved Nana in her nursing home.<\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\"><\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\">\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When it was just us joking around like this, I could forget about ex-boyfriends, his former flings, and impending marriage contracts.<br \/>\nThis was how I liked us. How I always wanted it to be.<br \/>\n<em>Stop thinking like that. There is no always.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\">Overall, I liked Fallon. \u00a0I loved that when she gets anxious, she, in her words, word vomits. \u00a0However, she was a bit too perfect and selfless to be truly believable. \u00a0Between student loans and paying for her Nana&#8217;s nursing home, she&#8217;s completely broke, and lives on PB&amp;J at her company-supplied flat where the only furniture is a rickety twin bed that came with it and a desk she&#8217;s cobbled together. \u00a0She&#8217;s so nice, she can&#8217;t even properly break up with her deadbeat boyfriend back in America. \u00a0I had the same issue with Connor &#8211; it was hard to believe he&#8217;d go from complete playboy to devoted boyfriend in a few months. \u00a0I mean, it&#8217;s not an exaggeration to say that one of Fallon&#8217;s worries about every Murphy pub they go to, she has to wonder if he&#8217;s shagged their waitress (spoiler he probably has). \u00a0He also has a tendency to buy things for her, from fully furnishing the flat to ordering the entire room service menu at their hotel room, plus a set of pink golf clubs (because he wants to go golfing) and lots of clothes.<\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\"><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div title=\"Page 131\">Nothing was holding me back from him. Nothing but possible regret I was sleeping with a known player I was in a fake relationship with. But what was marriage without a little fun?<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div title=\"Page 131\"><\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\">While I thought the sexual tension throughout the book was great, the first sex scene was strangely unappealing to me. \u00a0It was more of a &#8220;count the orgasms&#8221; thing than actually sexy. \u00a0I also didn&#8217;t care for the event that triggered their big feelings reveal to each other. \u00a0It felt entirely over the top and a bit out of left field and seemed to take the focus away from Connor and Fallon and their relationship.<\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\"><\/div>\n<div title=\"Page 131\">So, while I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the book, I found the second half a bit of a letdown. \u00a0Overall, I did enjoy it though, and I&#8217;ll probably pick up Jack and Sean&#8217;s books.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was a fun read, with a bit of a tour of Ireland &#8211; mainly Dublin and Galway, with a trip to the Cliffs of Moher. \u00a0This is the first in a trilogy focused on the Murphy brothers, who have inherited the international Murphy Pub chain from their father.
