Blurb: Can a little luck help these two men’s feelings ignite during the St. Patrick’s Pub madness?
Since the beginning of his senior year in college, Jimmy has lived above the very popular Irish Pub O’Dwyer’s. Sure, the music is loud and the co-eds constantly party, but the bonus is seeing graduate student Niall come in and out of work on a daily basis.
Working separate shifts hasn’t given the two much time to get to know one another. So it’s quite a shock when Niall comes pounding on his door on St. Patrick’s Day asking for help working at the pub on the busiest day of the year. Even though Jimmy just finished with his own shift, being next to Niall for the night is too tempting to resist.
Will sparks finally ignite? And will Jimmy find himself having a little luck of the Irish to finally make Niall notice him?
Review:
Since Jimmy’s been working and living above O’Dwyer’s, he’s secretly had a crush on the boss’s nephew, Niall. When St. Patrick’s Day comes around and they need help tending the bar, Niall comes asking for Jimmy’s help and before he knows it, Jimmy has his hands full handing out beers. But will Jimmy have a bit of Irish luck when Niall finally notices him?
*happy sigh* This book was exactly what I needed when I read it. A little happiness, some sweetness in less than 40 pages. I loved that Jimmy has had a crush on Niall for so long and that once Niall finally REALLY looked at Jimmy, he couldn’t get the guy out of his head and it made him want to actually start a relationship (in plain view of his uncle!), which he was totally against before. It could have been longer because I would have really loved to read more of these boys, to really explore their relationship and how they get to know each other better, etc.
But, even with wanting more, this was still a great little pick-me-up story that definitely lifted my mood after I read it. I couldn’t help but have a goofy grin on my face when I was done because it was just adorable. I loved the characters and the fact they had a bit of Irish luck. I hope this isn’t the last we see of them!
Overall Impression: I really liked it!
