Love and Luck

Addie is in Ireland for her aunt's crazy over the top wedding.  She hopes a little distance will help her heal from a horrible mistake that has already lead to heartbreak and will likely lead to humiliation.  But her older brother Ian has discovered her secret, and he isn't willing to let it go.

Their constant bickering about whether she should tell their mother finally leads to a fist fight...at the wedding...on the Cliffs of Moher.  Their mother has had enough of the fighting and orders them to get along or lose their positions on their respective sports teams. 

Addie was supposed to go to Italy to visit her best friend Lena after the wedding accompanied by Ian, but he pulls a stunt that forces their plans to change.  Now, Addie is stuck in the back seat of a tiny car traveling across Ireland with annoying brother and his, admittedly cute, Irish friend Rowan. 

When she finds a guidebook called Ireland for the Heartbroken, it seems meant to be.  Ian has his own plan for the road trip, but many of the sites coincide with the guidebook.  Can one adventure across the emerald isle cure her heartbreak and mend her relationship with Ian?

This companion novel to Love and Gelato is another fun European adventure that helps to heal a girl in pain.  Though this is a lighthearted romance, it effectively deals with the fallout from Addie's decision to send an inappropriate photo.  Addie's guilt and avoidance over the issue feel realistic, and she finds she has a wonderful support group just waiting to help her.  This is another solid romance from Jenna Evans Welch.
