The Cosy Cottage in Ireland: Escape with the perfect, heartwarming and uplifting new summer book from the bestselling author (Romantic Escapes, Book 8)

I started this series years ago and I can't get enough. I was so excited when I saw this book on Kindle I had to purchase it. It was light hearted and I couldn't put it down. I love the different countries that her characters end up in. I also love that she focuses on food. A great series! Caplan knows how to spin a good story!

Very well written although heavy on the romance and light on the mystery. If this is your cup of tea, this is the perfect book for you.

I enjoyed the story of unexpected romance, but my favorite aspect of this book was the descriptions of Ireland, specifically Dublin and Kerry. An enjoyable read for sure.

I loved this book! This whole series is very enjoyable. It's easy to read this book as a standalone but I would definitely recommend reading the other books as they're great.I've recently watched the episode of Somebody Feed Phil where he travels to Ireland and the Ballymaloe Cookery School. That's what I was picturing in my mind while reading this book.Can't wait for further books in this series! I really hope Izzy gets the next one!

Especially with food!! As a foodieThis book ticked off all my boxes.Heartwarming, frustrating , getting to know the characters.And a great ending for sure!( Frustrating only from the cooking for poor Hanna ) !

One problem I found was it is too often difficult to tell who is speaking. I would like the author to be a bit more careful. If not for that, I would have given 5 stars.

Ms. Caplin has swept us away again to Ireland this time and during a time when worldly travel is way down it was just the "Romantic Escape" I needed. Hannah is a wonderful main character and the setting and support characters all help you feel right along side them on the farm, Kayaking, in a pub, and in the kitchen!

I’ve been reading novels that deal with the not nice side of human nature lately. I needed a light, uplifting fun story.Julie Caplin delivers this in spades. I’m a softie and love a romantic tale.The thing I love about Caplin’s tales is that of them are interlinked, I know this universe and don’t need to learn about a new universe.Three stars

Which pattern does your life follow - and why? Are you happy - or where you meant for something else? And if so - what can you do to get there? This is the underlying theme of all the "secret escape" books. What is their attraction?It definetely is designed to be a "feeling good" - book. Wonderful descriptions of nature and the most beautiful cities on Earth (you can enjoy it even better, if you've been, if not, you will want to after reading the books), and lot's of talking about food and cooking.But more than that: the story about someone leading a life in which they are quite content, only to realize that they could have more and discover their passion - is quite inspiring. The fact that you encounter a new version every book empasises the effect on you. Also, since all the characters interrelate somehow or other, you quickly develop an emotionally relation to the events which makes the books message "Live your best life, find your passion!" work on a deeper level. So be warned - these books are not for entertainment only - they have a magic of their own, which might just change your life.

I'm reading this boom right now, it's lovely and well written. The pages are in second hand paper.

This was my first time reading Julie Caplin's work, and I was pleasantly surprised that an irresistible mix of perfect escapism and edge-of-your-seat scenarios produce a delightfully humorous and captivating read.Food, cottages, and romance in an ideal setting. What more could a girl ask for! The story is set in scenic County Kerry, Ireland, although we first meet Hannah Campbell (the book’s protagonist) in Dublin where she’s charmed by the handsome and mysterious Connor, unaware of his connection to her final destination, a six-week-long cookery course. Once in Killogally circumstances conspire to keep throwing the two together despite their best efforts.The story is full of twists and turns and mysteries aplenty, a heart-warming read that is difficult to put down. Having a clean, uncluttered writing style that ensures reading is a pleasure. The supporting characters in the book are as heart-warming and engaging as the main characters themselves.

I’m a voracious reader and these books are an absolute winner. Thoroughly enjoy Julie’s writing style and the detail she puts into so many different locations.I can’t put her books down, late nights have followed!

Good read
