Review: Forever Bound by Jessica Dall

 

Set among the rolling green Irish hills, Kelkerry Castle is something out of a dreamy fairy tale. For hotelier Bridget Marshall, however, it's a dream come true...once she’s sorted out the mold, lead paint, and ancient plumbing. And she’ll prove to everyone in the nearby village of Shansally (pop. 119) that she’s not just another silly, dreamy-eyed American—including her curt (if utterly gorgeous) new neighbor, Liam O'Flannagain.

Only, this breathtaking castle has far more secrets than expensive repairs. While someone—or something—here desperately wants Bridget to give up and walk away, there’s another force tugging Bridget to stay. Because whenever she’s with Liam, the ancient past seems to come to life again, sweeping them along in a story they’re apparently destined to relive.

Now, Liam and Bridget are caught up in a long-ago tale filled with love, danger, and betrayal. The past seems to be working its magic on both of them, pulling them into a love story they’re helpless to resist. And they’ll have to uncover the truth of what happened all those centuries ago before history—and tragedy—repeats itself.

My Review

Forever Bound by Jessica Dall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I really enjoyed this book! I enjoyed the glimpses into the past while we try to unravel the mystery Bridget and Liam are experiencing. He's a misunderstood grump but I really liked him. I love that Bridget is able to see who he is beneath the grumpy exterior.

Bridget bought Kelkerry Castle, near the small village of Shansally, Ireland sight unseen. She has plans to renovate the castle and open her very own hotel. She has plenty of work ahead of her and plenty of new people to meet.

Her new neighbor Liam is not very friendly unlike everyone else in the village. But the castle has plenty to keep her busy especially when they start to eat away at her budget. But she can't walk away. Whenever she's near Liam, the ancient past seems to come alive around them. Making them relive a story from the castle's past.

The past draws them together unable to resist the pull they feel for one another. They'll work together to figure out what happened all those years ago while also trying to figure out who is sabotaging her renovation efforts.
