A Note From Jules:
Be forewarned you might not want to start this book late at night—several readers have reported “gobbling it up” and going on to the next book immediately. This book is literary women’s fiction, it is not a traditional romance, per se.
“If you enjoy Nora Roberts, you’ll like Juliet Gauvin. The Irish Cottage is a fresh take on women’s literary fiction, sometimes light and scrumptious and other times quite profound in its observations on life, love and loss.” -Amazon Review
“A book that conveys the true feelings of Ireland when you visit…it’s a bit of a romance, history, travel, and mystery neatly tied into a book well worth reading.” -Amazon Review
“I started this book and couldn’t put it down. It brought me to Ireland and I never wanted to leave.” -Amazon Review

Elizabeth leaves her job to go to Ireland & sort out her life after her great aunt, who raised her, dies. Her aunt leaves her letters to explain to her about some things she didn’t know about her life & past. Loved the storyline. Will definitely read more in this series & by this author.
The characters are very realistic. The dialogue is believable and the story is interesting.
I love all 3 books was very sad when they ended!, keep up the good work can”t wait to read the next series
Super cure triology
First in a series. Leaves you hanging. A tad contrived. If you like romances, this is your book.
A quick read with some interesting twists and turns while dealing with grief.
Good character building, storyline and unpredictability. Fun read
Loved the trilogy. Was disappointed when a new release didn’t materialize.
Really enjoyed this book. Waiting to read the next one by this same author
Two tragic figures who find healing through a shared love. Fun characters, but for me, way too much coupling – totally unnecessary.
This was a good read. The premise was interesting and characters were easy to like and real. I enjoyed the style of writing. Good book for a rainy day read.
dull, predictable
Loved this book. A taste of Ireland with a great, well written story. Don’t stop her. You must read the rest of the trilogy!
Well written with complex characters that draw you into their lives.
I truly loved this book, however, I was sad that it was over so quickly although I understand why. Great writing.
I loved the Irish Cottage. Sadly, there is part 2 and 3 which you get to pay for. I was unaware it was a trilogy. If you offer a book for free it would seem to me you would offer books 2 and 3 free as well.
Fun for an easy read.
I loved every minute of this book. I laughed, I cried, it was just wonderful.
Elizabeth and Connor are two strong personalities; both driven to their career choices by their pasts. They meet and begin their own healing while also falling in love. Their story has just begun…
I love the characters and their imperfections. The storyline is moving and memorable.
