The day my fiancé left me at the alter for his pregnant secretary, I thought my life was over. Thankfully, my sister refused to let me wallow in misery. Her philosophy? To get over him, I needed to get under someone new.While I didn’t necessarily subscribe to that approach to relationships, a long weekend in Dublin seemed like a good way to move on.Standing in my hotel lobby, I never expected to … never expected to meet Ross O’Connor, a sexy rugby player with the body of a gladiator and the heart of a gentleman. And when he asked me to extend my trip by two weeks, I never expected to say yes.
All I wanted was to get over my ex; I never meant to fall in love.

What pleasant treat FOREVER AT LAST by Rebecca Norinne proved to be.
Ross O’Connor and Gemma Addision are both at a crossroads in their lives; Ross is trying to find his place in the world now that his rugby career is prematurely over while Gemma is trying to move on after not only being betrayed by a cheating fiancé but in such a public manner. Is it any wonder it doesn’t take much to convince her to spend time out of the country?
I found Ross and Gemma to be a delightful couple. Their chemistry is off the charts (some of those scenes are scorching hot!), they are funny and they trust each other to be forthright in their wants.
I was happy that the epilogue gave us insight into their lives beyond what was initially meant to be a holiday romance.
FOREVER AT LAST is part of the #IrelandFovever series; 12 novellas by 12 authors, all set in Ireland.

Loved every word of this sweet short story. It grabbed me from the first paragraphs and I could not get enough. Gemma is trying to move on with her life, as is Ross. Both for different reasons. Then a chance meeting and a lunch date have them both feeling like there is hope, love and a beautiful future for each of them. There was so much detailed and chemistry in the short story that it will forever stay in my heart. I loved Gemma and Ross and hope to maybe get more of them again soon.
Do you believe in love at first sight?!
Romantic and sexy short story. Gemma has been dumped by her fiancé, has no job and no apartment so she decides to tag along with her sister on a trip to Ireland. There she meets Ross, a former rugby player who is a drift too because an injury forces him to retire. They share a moment of chemistry. They decide to share a lunch that leads to so much more. Insta-lust & inst-love make this story a sweet, sexy read.
The Ireland Forever Short Stories are a themed collaborative by multiple authors. Insta-lust & insta-love are a given but are so sweet and smooth, like Bailey’s & cream in your coffee. Stop for a wee bit and indulge in these Luck O’ the Irish sexy tales.

Only Gemma gets more that a week of relax, kick your boots off fun, she meets Ross and finds true love. Perfect, short but very sexy and sweet!

Gemma is recovering from finding out her fiancé’s secretary is pregnant with his baby. Ross is a retired rugby player forced out due to an injury. I love the way these two met min a pub in Ireland and have an instant connection. Gemma and Ross are a perfect couple and have steamy chemistry. This is a sweet, steamy, well written love story and a great addition to the Ireland Forever Short Story series.
Wowsa! This is one hot, spicy and quick romance!
Gemma agrees to go to Ireland with her sister after she is dumped, rather dramatically, at the altar just to get out of her apartment. Ross is a former rugby player not looking for anything or anyone until he meets Gemma.
This really is a quick read but it’s still full of all the feels.

Gemma is having the time of her life, hardly. Well she was feeling pretty good about how her life was progressing about right up until her fiancés mistress who was pregnant with his baby tackled her. Oh did I mention that she was at the church alter, while at her own wedding, in front of hundreds of people? No? Oh yes!! After that disaster she couldn’t get on a plane to Ireland with her sister fast enough.
Ross, having finally, sort of, come to accept that he can’t play rugby again, tries to show his old teammates some support by showing up for a game. While waiting in the hotel lobby with the swelling crowd he sees a woman who takes his breath away. Is love at first sight actually a true thing?
Gemma has heard the best way to get over a guy is to get under one, and that is exactly what she plans to do on her vacation. She’s booked a room separate from her sister and her friends to have privacy for her romp in the hay. She never counted on meeting Ross and having such a strong attraction to him immediately. Will she be able to keep this casual?
Ross and Gemma quickly realize love at first sight is a real emotion and they are in for the ride of their lives. In this sweet 4 star novella, there is nothing short or lacking about it in any way. The author takes us from meet-cute to epilogue quickly but not rushed. I fell in love with them, as they did with each other, on the pages. I reviewed an advance reader copy without expectations, all opinions expressed are my own. Bring on more rugby players!!!!
