About this listen
Katie Collins has barely ever left her tiny Irish village of Ennisbawn. Why would she? With its tightknit community, friendly local pub, surrounded by glistening lakes and perfectly mysterious forests, it’s a place of peaceful beauty.
Or it was peaceful. Until Callum Dempsey turned up. Part of a hotshot (and, Katie has to admit, hot is annoyingly apt for him...) development team with zero eye for beauty or charm, he’s not only building a hideous hotel just outside the village, he’s also just announced a plan to knock down Ennisbawn’s only remaining pub. To make way for a view from the golf course.
It’s the final blow to the village and the last straw for Katie, who refuses to let her home-from-home disappear. The pub is her life–her job, but also her last connection to her parents, who had met at Ennisbawn’s once-famous matchmaking festival that was held in the grounds.
But, after being laughed off the building site in her best flannel pyjamas for demanding the builders leave, Katie decides enough is enough and hatches a plan. She’s going to revive the matchmaking festival, save the pub, and single-handedly bring the town back to life again.
She might even help her two best friends find love as well. Since, heck, what’s another project when you’re taking on the world’s hottest, evilest man?
But what Ireland’s newest matchmaker doesn’t know is that even when someone’s really not your type on paper, love might be a little bit more than just a formula....
A gorgeously escapist and utterly hilarious small town romcom perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sophie Kinsella, and Christina Lauren.

Beautiful story
Beautifully narrated, wonderful characters and a gentle way of life. First time I’ve read/listed to this author and she didn’t disappoint at all. Could not wait to listen and yet did not want the story to end. Will now listen to the next book recommend!

Another five star story from Catherine Walsh!
Cannot recommend giving this book a go! As per Catherine Walsh has knocked it out of the park and created a gorgeous world to dive into. The main thread of the story, the romance between Katie and Callum leaves you uplifted, but I was drawn into the tale of the run down town and the people who loved it. The cast of characters and their passion for their home left my heart feeling full and ready to pack up and move to rural Ireland.

Loved it!
Catherine Walsh’s books are among my favourite. They don’t usually follow the typical romcom rules, and this one really resonated with me. I loved the heroine, and identified with her a lot. I also liked the other characters, particularly the granny, and the felt the love storyline was really believable. Definitely give it a go, along with the rest of her books!!!

Great setting
Enjoyable but not my favourite by this author. Full of banter and some serious issues to balance it out. If you like insta love then this book had that vibe. A good enemies to lovers story in a great setting.
