But the project quickly takes a turn for the worse when her hard work falls flat.
Rob Taylor knows a thing or two about running a business. He’s built Rob’s Marvelous Muffins into a thriving business.

Great characters, great setting.
This story was built on a trope I like and don’t see often enough—falling in love against their will. (The characters have a 15 year age-difference, too.)
They were flirty, witty, and stubborn. Just perfect!

“1-800-IRELAND” author Josie Riviera; Narrator Anthea Hallett-Ybarra
I loved listening to the Anthea relate Josie’s story. Yes, Kathleen drove me nuts a few times, almost a few times too many!! Thankfully I didn’t give up on her. And, Yes, men can be rather dense from time to time. And, women can be rather impatient with the male of the species and also a tad too trusting from time to time. That said, I think this is a worthy read. Also check out the recipe at the end, loved that surprise, too!
note: I was gifted a copy of this audiobook by the author.

Flipping for You, Book 3
By: Josie Riviera
Narrated by: Anthea Hallett-Ybarra
There is nothing better than knowing a listen is going to ease your tension and let you fall in love. Josie Riviera’s books do this for me every time. This is the wonderful story of Kathleen, who decides she would like to fulfill her dream of opening a tea house in the United States. It’s a big decision moving from Ireland to North Carolina, but with the help of her friend Rob, she is secure in her decision. Rob is a little older than Kathleen, and as a successful entrepreneur is ready to help. But what these two find is far more than business. Both have past hurts, so will their budding relationship flourish? There is a little plot twist in this too, which gives the relationship a little boost! It’s sweet, fun, and flirty. I loved that the characters were a little more mature and it wasn’t their first go round in life. It gives the story depth and a realistic feel. And as with all of RIviera’s books, the food is amazing!
Narration by the talented Anthea Hallett-Ybarra gives us an authentic Irish feeling. Her accent brings this story to life and gives us that lilt of happiness. She quickly can change her voices with ease and has the story flowing. I enjoyed her performance and will definitely be looking out for more of her.

I found this to be, a good read. I enjoyed the idea of a small town being able to enjoy a teahouse and from a character from Ireland named Kathleen. Kathleen’s real estate agent helps her find someone to help her get ready named Rob who runs a bakery. I loved the way the story starts out simple and keeps building. I also enjoyed learning a little about Ireland. This is a clean read that will be hard to put down.
A book chock full of Irish tidbits. It was good to see characters from the past books and for Rob to have his story. I enjoyed the intense banter between him and Kathleen. It was a good, sweet story.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I was given a free copy of this Audiobook In exchange for an honest review. This is a fun business start up that has a twist of love. Definitely recommend!
Another great Irish novella by Josie Riviera encompassing characters from her other stories to continue their journeys. Kathleen moves to America to open a tea shop and gets help from Rob the Miami baker on setting her new business up.
Kathleen is a very determined lady and the arrival of an Irish friend who tries to take over is not what she has in mind.
Please read this delightful tale to see how all these people work together or not.
A cute listen with people from opposite sides of the world that are able to meet and find love. All while starting up a new bakery definitely makes it for a busy book. A fun listen with great narration.
Magnificent book that is romantic and Humorous. Joy for me to read. Couldn’t put it down!!!!
Return to Roses, North Carolina in this delightful third installment of Josie Riviera’s 1-800 series. This time we meet Kathleen Kelly, who has recently moved from Ireland to open a new teahouse in Roses. She discovers that getting her new business up and running by St. Patrick’s Day is going to be a time consuming chore.
Rob Taylor, who is a friend of Kathleen’s realtor, owns a chain of bakeries in Miami and has been recruited to come visit to see what he can do to help. He is not your stereotype romantic hero: Rob is an overweight, bald, and older man.
This is a romance, so there is no surprise to the reader when the two are attracted to each other. The relationship appears to be flourishing in spite of the age difference before Kathleen suddenly pulls back from her connection with Rob.
Is there a way to repair the hurt? He owns his bakeries and she has her teahouse. Can they work something out?
This novella is a clean, Christian romance. Pick up your copy of 1-800-Ireland to find out the rest of the story.

1-800-IRELAND (A Sweet Contemporary Romance Novella)
Flipping for You, Book 3
By: Josie Riviera
Narrated by: Anthea Hallett-Ybarra
I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and delightful romance, it is well written with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are likable and easy to relate to, I adored Kathleen, she is strong willed and independent, I admired her courage to up and leave her country and all she knows to follow her dreams of opening a tea house in the US and to do so on her own. Her realtor and friend knows someone who can give advice, Rob Taylor, a successful baker and businessman who owns several Muffin Shops in Florida. He agrees to come visit and see if he could assist Kathleen in any way. The two hit it off right away, he offers some great advice and more. I loved who everything plays out in this book, Josie Riviera fit a lot of story into her novella sized book, the story is well plotted and flows naturally. There is never a dull moment, with plenty of drama, a touch of angst, some great heartfelt moments and the start of a sweet romance. Josie Riviera, thank you for this wonderful story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Anthea Hallett-Ybarra is a terrific narrator & voice artist. She brings the characters to life giving each their own voice and personality. She does a great job portraying the characters, capturing and projecting their emotions into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
This review is for the audible copy I received free from the author. This is a sweet, clean romance. A true Irish woman, Kathleen, is a determined woman. Rob is 15yrs older but falls for her. Question is does the age difference make a difference in them getting together? And there is an Irish man that tries to swoop in & take over. I love the narrator’s use of Irish when she reads Kathleen’s words. This is my voluntary opinion.
She was opening a tea shop in Rose, a far way from her native Ireland. He had been a very successful restauranteur and agree to help. They were attracted to each other right away.
This is a May, December contemporary, clean, romance set in a small town. The characters are personable and interesting, drawing you into their story. The romance is wonderful and the story flows well. I enjoyed the interaction between the main characters and especially their dialogue. This is a clean romance that leaves you feeling positive.
1-800-Ireland by Josie Riviera is the third book in the Flipping for You Series. Even though this is the third book in this series it can very well be read as a standalone. This is a sweet, clean well written romance novella. The characters in this book are believable and mature. The descriptions are so real you can picture and feel like you are right there with the characters. Josie Riviera writes sweet, well written stories that can be read as standalones. I highly recommend her books.
I love Kathleen and Rob’s story! It lets you know that there is love out there for anyone at any age and no matter your size! This book is definitely worth adding to your TBR list!
