BLURB:
Mistakes were made, that’s for sure. But was it the night of passion? Or walking away afterward? That’s the question Seamus Williams must face when he gets a late-night phone call from someone he never expects to hear from again.
“I miss you, Shay.”
Chancey Bo Clearwater is a cowboy through and through. He spends his days finding work on whatever ranch will take him and his nights at the pool hall. He’s always done what needed doing and never thought much about what he wanted. ’Til that drunken night with Seamus.
A world of problems now stand between Seamus and Chancey exploring what might have been, the least of which being the Atlantic Ocean. On one side, there’s Chancey’s daughter who mood swings from angel to demon in two seconds flat; on the other, there’s the new lodger, hogging Shay’s telly and his cornflakes, and making private Skype time hard to come by.
Is this relationship doomed before it ever begins? Or can a surprise announcement from Seamus’s brother be enough to help the two find their second chance?
Where the Grass is Greener is book two of ‘Seeds of Tyrone’ and features characters from Leaving Flowers , but can be read independently.
REVIEW:
This was a story that I had a little trouble connecting to at the beginning. That the characters were apart and on different continents threw me at first. It took a few chapters for me to get a feel for Seamus and Chancey, but once I did, holy cow!! These are two men who did not clue into the fact that they were the perfect match until they were apart. Simply who they are conspired to keep them apart.
Chancey is firmly rooted in Kansas. His job and his daughter being the focus of his life. Seamus’ heart and soul is rooted in Ireland. In fact, it is to Ireland he runs when he becomes overwhelmed by his feelings. Connecting again while thousands of miles apart brings both of their true feelings to light. Their encounters online are vivid and bittersweet, and at the same time very hot.
I liked the fact that Chancey and Seamus always put Chancey’s daughter first. Even when it broke their hearts.
I loved Dee. She was not a characture of a bratty teenager at all. Her fragile heart and potty mouth were a constant entertainment As was the side story of Seamus helping Michael when life kicked him down. I really feel like I have to go back and read Paddy and Aidan’s story now too.
The writing flowed and was easy to read. I have not previously read anything by either author, but would not hesitate to do so now.
