Book Review: There is No Try

 


Wanting a big change after a break up, Lucas Robinson leaves Australia to play for a newly established rugby team in Ireland. While he’s waiting for his new home to be built, he becomes temporary flatmates with Bridget O’Leary—his mate’s sister he was warned to stay away from.

After an amazing season, his immigration status is hanging in the balance, and they agree to a contract marriage to grant him citizenship. Except, both Lucas and Bridget have unresolved feelings for each other, complicating their friendship and his relationship with her brother. With everything out in the open, Lucas finally has the woman he’s always wanted. But when has a love story ever been that easy?

There is No Try is a deliciously spicy romantic comedy novella, intended for mature audiences. Just because it's a romcom, doesn't mean you should forget to check your content warnings...



My Review

Lucas and Bridget are so great together. I love that Lucas helps Bridget become more comfortable with herself in voicing what she wants/needs from Luc. There is nothing sexier then when you can express with your partner what you want from them. 


Besides Luc's love for Bridget, the interactions he shares with her son, Gavin are endearing. I love that he incorporated him in helping to pick out the engagement ring. 


Irene always has me becoming emotionally attached to her characters. That is what I loved the most about this book, is the emotional attachment that I felt for Luc and Bridget. This is one not to be missed!


"In this life and the next, he'll be mine, and I can't wait to spend forever with him."
