Finian Kelley and Tate Jennings met at a wedding…

…but that doesn’t mean they had romance in mind.

This brings us back to Summerhaven one more time. We have seen Britt's childhood friend, Tate in the other books. She is a vibrant, funny, determined woman, but she is guarded about love and sees herself as emotionally unavailable. She never lets people get too close to her, and does not offer or accept love freely. But she is ready for some no-strings fun. 

Rory's cousin, Finian lives in Dublin, but is temporarily working at the Summerhaven Camp. He is coming off a relationship with a clinger so he is only looking for a casual fling. He is fun, charming, and sexy.

When these two meet at Rory's wedding, sparks fly and their clothes start falling off. For some reason they are both comfortable with each other and have hot chemistry. They are both just interested in no-strings sex so it should be the perfect set-up for both of them.

But what happens if someone starts to have feelings or want more?

They live in two totally different places. And they both have their reasons for just saying goodbye and not keeping in touch. But sometimes things don't always work out the way you planned. 

This is a short, sweet, sexy novella, but because I liked the characters and was engaged, it seemed like a full enough story even with some things having to occur off page due to length. I enjoyed getting more with the couples from the other books and hanging out at camp again for important events.

These two had some challenges both due to personal issues and external ones, but I liked them together and was rooting for them. I especially loved Finian who showed his vulnerability and frustration, and had such a big heart. The author ended this book in an interesting way versus the standard epilogue, but it totally worked for me. I will miss these sweet couples from Summerhaven.

 I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Tate Jennings keeps herself as far separated from relationships and connections as she can. If she doesn’t let anyone close, she can’t lose them. The only family she has left is her uncle, and her close friendships are the friends she made as a child who won’t let her go.

Finian Kelly loves visiting his cousins in the US, but knows his time in the states is short. He isn’t looking for anything serious, he has to go home in a few short weeks. But a hookup wouldn’t be amiss at his cousin’s wedding, especially because that’s all the only single bridesmaid is looking for as well.

These two were so cute together. Neither was looking for any strings -- Tate just doesn’t do relationships, and Finian is only in the country for another few weeks before he returns home to Ireland. But they found in a short time that they liked spending time together, and they had great chemistry both in and out of the bedroom. If only there weren’t an ocean between their homes.

Tate has some serious hangups about relationships, and that more than the distance, is the biggest hurdle they have to anything serious. Her struggles were real and based in her experience which made it hard to watch as her convictions hurt them both.

Catching Irish is a quick story. Their time together is quick as is the book as a whole. But there sure is a lot of backstory and lead up packed into this short story. This is also the final book in the Summerhaven Trio, and it is a great way to wrap up this family’s journey together.

Irish-American triplets, Tierney, Rory and Ian Haven (trí ciarde in their mother's native Gaelic) grow up as "children of the help" at Summerhaven, an ultra-exclusive camp for rich, city kids in New Hampshire.

Years later, distinct personalities, an unusual upbringing and complicated family dynamics will challenge their hopes for lasting true love.

Rory Haven and Brittany Manion knew one another as children...

...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.
