The 1-800 Series (Flipping For You #1-3) was a great series by Josie Riviera. This box set consists of; 1-800-CUPID, 1-800-CHRISTMAS, and 1-800-IRELAND. 1-800-Cupid by Josie Riviera was a great read. Candee and Teddy had a great story that I loved reading. Candee is a real estate broker who has her eye on a beautiful Victorian house. Teddy is an investor looking for a property to flip. 1-800-Christmas (Flipping For You #2) was another great read by Josie Riviera. Desiree is an attorney who just bought her first home. Unfortunately for her the victorian Queen Anne home is a disaster that needs a lot of work. To add insult to injury her boyfriend dumped her as she was moving. Keiran moved back to Roses, North Carolina to reopen his Irish pub that his parents left him. His friend finds him an attic apartment in Desiree’s home as long as he helps fix it up. Desiree had a crush on Keiran back in high school and they still have chemistry. 1-800-IRELAND (Flipping For You #3) was a great read by Josie Riviera. Kathleen is an Irishwoman in America, looking to renovate her new teahouse. The project takes a turn for the worse when her hard work falls flat. Rob comes to help with his experience with a thriving business. Rob is in Miami while Kathleen is in Roses, NC. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.
1-800-Christmas
Really enjoyed reading this book. Desiree is looking for a “perfect” HEA to compensate for her childhood. Keiran has returned to Roses and has to decide what he wants to do for his future. Desiree has bought a very neglected Queen Anne house and Keiran is going to help her renovate it as he decides his future path. Both have things in their background that must be faced.

Really enjoyed this book. Rob and Kathleen have both been in bad relationships in the past and have to move past that. Kathleen is a modern pioneer who leaves Ireland to open a tea shop in a building she bought before her move. She is a strong independent woman. Can she learn to accept Rob’s help? Can Rob help her without overrunning her ideas? Read another great one by Josie Riviera.

1-800-Cupid by Josie Riviera
First time reading this author and loved all the details. Love learning about different locations in the book, felt as if I was there also!
Story starts out with Candee (works at the local hardware store) and she lives with her sister, Desiree (works at country club) and she’s into real estate. She bids on the mansion at the end of the street and noone has lived in it for many years.
She hopes no one else wants to buy it-it’s in Roses, NC. Story also follows Teddy and his friend (Rob) in FL and they are into helping his nephew who needs medical surgeries. Teddy meets her and expects a woman over 50 as the real estate business has been operating for over 30 years.
Candee shows other places in the area to Teddy and he shows an interest in her mansion-she thinks it’s hers already. She plans to redo the place for disadvantaged children.
He and his friend hope to flip a house for a living. She is heavily into beagle dogs and volunteers also at no kill shelter. Misunderstanding and you wonder if they will ever be together again…
Lots of surprises in this book and like how they change plans and just go with things.
Love ending did NOT see that coming. Recipe at the end-another surprise!
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

1-800-CHRISTMAS by Josie Riviera
Book starts out with Desiree and she realizes she’s overeatten near the holidays…She now owns a house that is need of repairs and is a lawyer.
Her sister, foster kids have not had a real Christmas as their parents were alcoholics. Now that her sister is married her brother in law helps with getting a man staying at the house while bringing it up to date.
Keiran shows up, an Irishman and she remembers him from high school-the rich kid. He’s left his last girlfriend and hopes to work enough so he can buy and run his own store. His parents run a bar and serve food.
They spend time together as in a date after the work day has finished. Love how she sprinkles Christmas all over the house-it sounds very festive with his hel of the huge tree.
His father wanted him to pursue his football career and Keiran just wants to open his own pub and cook food. He has many special family recipes and they sound delicious.
She needs a stable guy and Keiran doens’t even know if he wants to do carpentry or run the pub so she needs to set him straight…
Love baking contest they have set up in town for others to select a winner. This story can go either way with their continued relationship… His ex shows up and wants a portion of his money that she’s not earned and there are other disturbing details.
When he ends up leaving town with the ex Desiree has no idea if he will even return for Christmas. She prays to God to make a miracle occur as he’s the only one that can.
Bonus recipe included. Love how determined she is to make this a special Christmas.

1-800-IRELAND: A Sweet Contemporary Romance Novella (Flipping For You Book 3) by Josie Riviera
Another great story from the author.
Have followed this series and enjoyed them all.
This one starts out with Kathleen who’s relocated from Ireland to NC, a small town called Roses. She lives above her new store-a tea house serving real Irish bread to name a few items on her menu.
Candy, the one who set up the apartment and saw to all the new owners needs from the US side also has notified Rob, her friend in FL who bakes cakes and cupcakes in his own shop.
He’s older and not quite the catch of the day-love this that he’s just a regular guy and kinda out of shape.
kathleeen has it set in her dreams about her shop but Maureen knows she will need help. Rob needs time away from his own shop so travels there to see what it will need, in his opinion to make it a success.
He never expected to find Kathleen so charming! Like the challenge they take part it. So many lovely detailed descriptions, I can just picture it for real.
Loved hearing all about starting up the business-priceless information!
Some characters from the series make an appearance but you are given all details aobut them so you’re not left in the dark.
This can be read as a standalone! Irish slang words are explained in the conversations they have.
Misunderstandings and you wonder if they will ever get back together to see if they have what it takes to be a couple.
Recipe included! Note from the author is included at the end.
Acknowledgements and about the author is included. Offer to join first readers group.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end. Excerpt from Maeve is also included.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
I read these separately! They are wonderful books!
Loved each of these books. Excellent sweet stories.
1-800-Cupid was a sweet Valentine’s romance. Teddy and Candee were both hurt in the past; Teddy by an abusive father and Candee growing up in foster care and by her emotionally abusive ex. They were both interested in the same falling down house, but because Candee was his realtor she couldn’t tell him about it. Teddy’s nephew Joseph was cute, as was mama beagle and her puppies. I didn’t like that Teddy was dating someone else even if it was casual and long distance. He should have ended it when he started developing feelings for Candee.
In 1-800-Christmas, Desiree Contando has trouble trusting after dealing with drunken parents and being shuffled from one awful foster care home to another. She grew up thinking football star and popular student Keiran O’Malley had it so easy and despite having a crush on him that he would never want anything to do with her. She never dreamed that he would end up living in the attic apartment in her fixer upper while doing carpentry work on it. Never mind that he’s easy on the eyes and a fantastic cook and they have amazing chemistry together. It still seems too good to be true to her especially when his ex shows up in Roses demanding money. Keiran was afraid to move forward with his relationship with Desiree too after being burned by his ex. They both needed to learn to trust again. I loved reading all the wonderful recipes that Keiran cooked up. I would definitely eat at his pub. This was a sweet holiday romance with plenty of humor and yummy foods.
In 1-800-Ireland, Kathleen has been answering to someone else for many years and Rob is used to running his own successful business, so he can’t help telling her what he would do and trying to take charge even if that means offering her a management-like position she had before and no longer wants. Rob is a people pleaser ever since he tried to make his drunken abusive father happy. I’m surprised he has such a positive outlook and that his childhood experiences didn’t turn him bitter. Kathleen has been hurt by false controlling men. Maybe she’s afraid Rob is trying to control her in way by offering her an easy way out working for him in Miami. It must have been really hard to leave her native Ireland and all that is familiar to her behind to go to America to start a new business. I loved reading about all the wonderful Irish foods she created and wished I could visit Kathleen’s Teahouse in Roses and try them.
1-800-CUPID is a sweet romance with well written characters. Teddy was sooo romantic. Candee was a real sweetheart and who cannot love Beagles – especially pups?! I could not put it down!
1-800-CHRISTMAS is another wonderful story in the Flipping For You series. Desiree finds Keiran talking to her porch after she tells him to go since he is not an electrician! These are two well matched, well-written characters that I really enjoyed. Add the rambling, crumbling, Queen Anne fixer-upper home and a few characters from the first book and sit back and enjoy this charming tale. I did hate to see a scheming woman profit from Keiran, but this was a wonderful story.
1-800-IRELAND is a heart warming romance between an independent Irish woman and Rob, the Muffin Man. Rob is warm, kind hearted and generous. He is also older, stocky and bald. How nice to find a leading man who is not drop dead gorgeous. I loved this May-December romance.
Don’t miss these sweet romances.
A great trio of books. Each book can be read as a standalone. They will make your heart happy.
Wonderful stories with all the feels. Sometimes love comes along when you least expect or want it. These stories are heartwarming, a little heart wrenching and a lot heart lifting.
