Johanna
Jo Mueller quits her awful job to accompany her grandmother to Ireland to visit her lifelong friend. Although money is tight, her grandmother’s friend comes up with a solution: work as a paid companion for her grandson, Ian while she’s in Ireland. Jo’s remit: get Ian out of his house and more importantly, out of his rut, without letting Ian know of the scheme. Surly on the best of days, Ian proves to be a challenge, and at first it seems like mission impossible. But somewhere along the way, Jo gradually begins to fall in love with Ian.
Ian
A freak accident resulting in a serious injury has curtailed Ian Twomey’s professional rugby career. He’s bitter and struggling to adjust. And he’s definitely not interested in showing the Irish sights to his grandmother’s American guest, Johanna. But it’s hard to say no to his grandmother and it’s even harder to resist Jo Mueller’s infectious smile. It doesn’t take him long to realize that life can and will go on, and he knows he has Jo to thank for that. And just as he realizes he does have future and he wants Jo in it, a secret is revealed, threatening his growing feelings for her.

This was the last book in the Escape To Ireland series. I loved it! I cried at one point, and was able to relate to the characters in several ways. Though the heroine was super cheerful, it was displayed in a most pleasant way. If you enjoy sweet, clean, contemporary romance, you’ll probably enjoy this book.
AN IRISH CHRISTMAS is a standalone read with a happy ending. There are no sexy scenes so any age can read and enjoy. The story is set mostly in Ireland. He lives in Ireland, and she lives in New York - for now. Lots of things to see that Ireland is famous for. Always fun to be a tourist while the story is taking place.Jo had a dead-end job that she really hates. She just doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, so she is just biding her time. It is getting close to Christmas and her grandmother is planning on a trip to Ireland to visit her best friend.

She talks Jo into making the trip with her so she can show her where she was born and raised until she turned 18. Jo is thrilled because she has always wanted to see Ireland. The cost is an issue, but the grandmother assures her that she will pay her way as her Christmas gift.

They have a long way to go to their happy ever after. Lots of things to overcome. This is a great story. I really loved it and I definitely recommend it.I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer, nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am not a bot. I am a reader, and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 9/12/2023.
Oh my goodness, what a marvelous story! Jo and Ian were amazing together and their grandmothers were a hoot! There was so much going on in this book, with the life-changing injury for Ian and Jo’s finally learning to speak up for herself. And despite all their misunderstandings, they still got their HEA. Wonderful!
The story line was exactly what I was wanting.
