Finian Kelley and Tate Jennings met at a wedding…
…but that doesn’t mean they had romance in mind.

Since meeting Finian Kelley at a wedding last fall, where they agreed to be physical with no strings attached, Tate Jennings can’t get him out of her head. So when an invitation arrives at her Florida condo, inviting Tate to spend St. Patrick’s Weekend back at Summerhaven where Finian works, she can’t resist heading up to New Hampshire for the festivities.

Having just gotten out of an awesomely bad relationship, Finian Kelley has sworn off romance, which is why it’s good that hottie Tate Jennings lives far away in the Florida Keys. They may have fooled around at Rory’s wedding, but at least they have no future together, right?

Wrong. When an annual celebration brings Tate back to New Hampshire, will Finian be able to stay away from the woman who’s already made an unwanted impression on his heart?

Return to Summerhaven one last time for this sweet, sultry, summer novella! 

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.

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.

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.

Tierney Haven and Burr O’Leary come from completely different worlds…
…but there’s a reason they say “opposites attract.”

Bookish Tierney Haven has always preferred places to people, and she especially loves the peace and quiet of Moonstone Manor, an estate museum located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where she is head docent, chief historian and live-in caretaker. The very last thing she expects to find on the doorstep at midnight is bruised and bloodied stranger, Burr O’Leary, in desperate need of her help.

Against her better judgement and at the risk of her brothers’ wrath, Tierney offers Burr sanctuary at Moonstone Manor, and nurses him back to health, surprised to discover that the dashing, enigmatic stranger loves the history and peace of Moonstone as much as she. But Burr has a dark history, and those who hurt him will stop at nothing to eliminate him...placing Tierney in grave danger until he is well enough to find them first.

Ian Haven and Halcyon Gilbert haven't seen each other since Hallie's 17th birthday...
...the same day Hallie pledged she would never, ever speak to Ian again as long as she lived.

Hallie Gilbert has had an especially awful year. When her husband of five years left town with his receptionist, Hallie’s 4-year-old daughter, Jenny, essentially stopped speaking. Add to this, Chef Hallie’s cable television show was canceled, and she had to sell her parent's Boston house to pay her husband’s exorbitant credit card bills. What Hallie needs is an uncomplicated autumn at Colby Cottage, her family’s summer home in Sandwich, NH, where she and Jenny can re-group and figure out what happens next.

But Colby Cottage, located adjacent to the Summerhaven Camp has been used (and abused) without permission as a lover’s nest and midnight party spot by campers. It's in such disrepair, it's almost unlivable. When camp owner, Rory Haven, arranges for his brother—local handyman, Ian Haven—to handle improvements for Hallie, her plans for an uncomplicated autumn suddenly get a lot more challenging.
