Last Call for Love

A Novel

By: Rebekah Crane

Narrated by: Kevin Marron, Lauren Ezzo

For an American woman on an impromptu summertime trip to an Irish island, life changes in a heartbeat in a refreshing romance by the author of June, Reimagined.

The last thing Chicagoan Maeve Kaminski expects to inherit from her estranged biological father is a pub. Now thousands of miles from home, Maeve is on a remote Irish island and is the new owner of the Moorings. Charming? Yes. Practical? No. The bright side: Maeve is in debt, and off-loading a famous pub for a pretty penny could be the gift she’s been waiting for.

Briggs Murphy is suffering from a broken heart. Literally. Recently diagnosed with the same condition that killed his father, he’s not looking for love. But when Maeve shows up with her color-coordinated datebook and striking blue eyes, he falls hard. Too bad she’s off-limits. According to familial legend, they’re enemies. And for the sake of the island, they better stay that way.

Love was never the plan. But for Briggs and Maeve, it might just save them both. To make it work, they’ll have to rewrite history…before it’s too late.

Brilliant Story

A wonderful twist on a feud- inspired by Romeo and Juliet, this story does a wonderful job of keeping the feud playful and the relationships real without losing the seriousness of life. Just the right balance between fiction and reality.

Don’t wait till last call

The narration was wonderful. I really felt like I was in there watching the story unfold. I felt like I had more of an emotional connection to the characters & story because of narration.

I really enjoyed this book. I especially loved the chemistry and rivalry between Maeve and Briggs. The small town charm runs rampant in this tale.

There were several quotes I absolutely love from this book. And they are all really good advice.

Loved this!

I really liked the female narrator but the male one seemed rushed? The story was well rounded & kept me interested. Finished this in 2 days!

Couldn't finish it

I made it through 10 chapters and gave up. I just did not like Maeve and the further I got into the book, the less I liked her. I like all kinds of female leads, strong, shy, quiet, loud, etc. but I don't like leads that make snap judgements without a shred of evidence but are 100% sure they are right.

Terrible male narrator

The story is okay. It’s predictable, but still enjoyable. The female narrator is fine, but the male narrator is awful. He sounds like the leprechaun in the Lucky Charms commercials. The sexy scenes, narrated by the male, are just…icky. They should have had the female narrator read the entire book. Her “male” voice was much better and didn’t sound like a deranged cartoon character with a bad accent.
