Fighting Irish by Katy Regnery
...but it's been a long time since their childhood summers at Summerhaven.
The Havens weren't the children who attended exclusive Summerhaven Camp in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. They were the children of the owners, expected to “pull their weight” and absolutely forbidden to fraternize with the paying guests. But that didn't keep Rory from having a quiet, unrequited crush on gorgeous, popular, insanely-rich, Brittany Manion for three tortuous summers.
When all-grown-up, recently-engaged Brittany books the off-season summer camp for her upcoming spring wedding, she immediately recognizes Rory as the scorching-hot boy who wouldn’t give her the time of day. Meanwhile, Rory, who senses that Brittany’s nuptials are less about Mr. Right and more about Mr. Right Now, launches the fight of his life to win the heart of the girl he’s always wanted.**
Thank you to the author for the book in exchange for an honest review.
I am so happy to be back in a world created by Katy Regnery. She paints such beautiful pictures with her words. When she announced this series, I knew I'd want to read it. It was a no-brainer, but I didn't read the blurbs for any of the books and I still haven't. I want to discover each character as I read.
I got the book yesterday afternoon, I had things to complete before I could dive in but as soon as I could I dove in and I loved every single minute I read.
Rory Haven has grown up at Summerhaven Camp, its been in his family for generations. He's a rule follower so when he was told no fraternization with the campers he just stayed on the outskirts of the camp. Doing his job and following the rules didn't mean the didn't notice Brittany Manion the four years she was at camp. She was the picture of the perfect girl for him. Even though he wanted to talk to her, touch her, kiss her and just, in general, get to know her he knew that he couldn't. She was out of his league. Now she's back in his life, but as a prospective bride to get married at Summerhaven.
Brittany finally got her fiancé to set a date for their wedding. He told her to plan it and so she started. She found that Summerhaven now did something other than just being a camp for youth. She set up a meeting and drove up to see the camp and meet with Mr. Haven. Little did she know that 6 years ago Mrs. Haven had a stroke and now Rory was running Summerhaven. Rory, her crush from all those years ago. He had grown even more handsome in those years too. Summerhaven was perfect for the wedding so she sent a deposit. Her fiancé wasn't too happy that it was two hours away, that she didn't understand that his ex would still be apart of his life (he has two children) and why was she pushing and nagging him.
Poor Brittany had bad luck with men. So instead of staying in her apartment to lick her wounds, she decides that a getaway is what she needs but she doesn't want to go to her mother in Italy or anywhere else, Summerhaven sounds like the haven she needs. Spending more time with Rory is good for her soul. He treats her like she's gold and could care one flip that she was a hotel heiress. The more time they spend together the closer they become.
These two were just two halves of a whole. You could tell from the first time they were reintroduced to each other. They just were easy together. She just fit into his life, not that he wouldn't have given up everything to live with her in hers. I can't say enough sweet and good things about these two. I loved the way they effortlessly loved and cared for the other and the things going on in their lives. Please give this new series a read and let the author know what you think of it! Reviews are your way of showing you care!
