CAN A FLING LEAD TO FOREVER?
American doctor Mae Watters arrives in Dublin, determined
to escape her recent heartbreak. This move is about finding a new life, and the
last thing on her mind is romance! So why can't she resist the man she meets at
the St. Patrick's Day parade, her sexy colleague, Dr. Liam O'Conner? He's a
single dad with baggage of his own! Will a passionate fling give them the
confidence to move forward -- together?
Irish-American doctor Mae Watters moved to Dublin after
being left at the altar by her Irish fiancé. She arrives just in time for the
annual St. Patrick's Day parade, but it emphasizes how alone she is instead of
making her happy. The day goes downhill when another attendee and his daughter crash
into her. He rubs her the wrong way with his attempts at humor, and she's about
to walk away when a parade participant falls and breaks his leg. Mae and Liam
discover they are doctors at the same hospital as they clash over helping the
victim.
Liam is the single dad of seven-year-old Shannon. Since
Shannon's mother left him, he's devoted his life to his daughter and his job. His
parents jump in to help when he needs them.
Sparks of attraction flare from the moment Mae and Liam
meet, even though neither is interested in a relationship. They work together
to care for the victim's (also Liam's neighbor) dog and find their animosity diminishing.
I enjoyed seeing their feelings shift as they cared for Brodie. Giving in to
the sparks via a no-strings fling seems the best option, with neither expecting
to want more. Just as they contemplate confessing to their changed feelings, a
medical crisis with Shannon stirs Liam's insecurities, and he pulls away,
leaving Mae once again facing a heartbreaking loss. I wanted to shake Liam for
being so blind and cheered when he got a kick in the pants from an unexpected
source. But will Mae give him another chance?
I liked the ending and how Liam and Mae decided to stop
allowing the past to keep them from moving forward, helped along by Shannon.
The epilogue was a nice look at how their relationship progressed over the
following few months.
