A second novel by Tara Finnegan and it is as witty and sexy as the first! Mastering Maeve follows the story of a feisty heroine. She helps her grandmother run a hotel that she comes to find out is in dire financial straits. A businessman named Larry shows interest in backing the business and also reluctantly falls for the bristly Maeve.I loved the back and forth between Maeve and Larry. They are both pretty head strong and don't back down from a fight. Larry's domineering ways are a lot for Maeve to handle at first, but she comes to find that she needs them in her life as much as she needs Larry.This was a great story with realistic characters that you will fall in love with. Maeve's grandmother, Bridie, was one of my favorite people in the book. She was witty and conniving- everything an Irish grandmother should be! Ms. Finnegan weaves a tale of romance, against the gorgeous backdrop of the Irish countryside, that you can't help but fall in love with. She once again tells a vivid story sprinkled with humor and lots or sexy scenes to keep you coming back for more.I highly recommend this book to any romance lover who wants a chance to escape into a brilliantly written, smart, and funny novel.
