This book was free at time of purchase. I thought this was a cute story. It was about an archeology grad student named, Natalie, who wanted to excavate in a farmland in Ireland to discover a lost city that united Rome with Ireland. The land is owned my Mike O'Connor, running back for the NY Leopards, Natalie's favorite team. After recieving funding for the project, the last hurdle would be to get the landowner's permission. She originally recieved that, but when he did the land went to Mike O'Connor. Natalie thought it would be easy to have Mike give his permission, but she was wrong. She flies to Ireland anyway to do research where she bumps into Mike who is staying at the same B&B; she's in. From there, a relationship develops between them.This story had a slight twist in the romance in that it was Natalie who was resistant to love and didn't believe in the concept based on her parents' marriage.  Natalie never believed in a forever love. To her everything was very clinical. And it was MIke who was trying to convince her how a forever type love is possible. I enjoyed this story. There was no insta-lust between the characters. I  could feel the growing attraction between them, though it took awhile for them to be together. And when they did become intimate, it wasn't graphically written. Just a few short sentences.I enjoyed it. It talked about family ties and how families can disappoint you. It talked about letting go of old grudges. There was also a little mystery as Natalie tried to prove that an old city was buried in that Irish farmland.
