Wild Irish Rose

The Merriams, Book 1

De: Ava Miles

Narrado por: Em Eldridge

Millions of listeners have fallen in love with Ava's bestselling books...come join the family.

International bestselling author Ava Miles kicks off her new series with an irreverent hero, two well-intentioned matchmakers, and a heroine as beautiful as a wild Irish rose.

Trevor Merriam doesn’t like being ordered around by his older brother, much less to a sleepy Irish village to complete a business deal for their family company.

Worse: the owner of the land he needs to buy doesn’t want him there. In fact, Becca O’Neill loathes him so much that she won’t even serve him the award-winning scones her famed Wild Irish Rose Bed and Breakfast is known for.

Even worse than that (and not getting scones is bad in Trevor’s book): Becca has an ornery cat, a mischievous Irish setter, and a famous ghost all intent on making sure he fails. Then there’s the woman herself. If she weren’t so indignant about his business offer, they might have a good romance budding.

Worst of all: his Uncle Arthur and Aunt Clara Hale show up from Dare Valley hoping to help him get hitched - not exactly the help he was looking for.

How in the world is he going to make this deal with his heart - and his dignity - staying intact?

A great story

Beautifully written & read! Ava, you described Ireland perfectly, as I’ve been all over and I love it there.. I loved all the different dynamics of the story, it actually taught me something that I did not fully understand, thanks. I’m excited & already just started the second book, looking forward to the rest & the story of each family member & Learning more about there character. Thank you CG

Laughed out loud more than once!

The story pulls the reader in immediately. The characters are genuinely believable. I cried, chuckled, LOL and fell in love. My first book by Ava Miles, but it will not be the last

YAY for this new Series!

I loved the book—‘Em Eldridge is superb. And the best part is that this is only the first in the series! I cannot wait to continue the journey!!

nice genuinely compassionate around a gritty topic

to portray such a tough issue so compassionately and raise awareness of some of the issues faced by those struggling with it so well and to ensure the characters are fully engaged, well done and thank you.

Good Story but...

I liked the story. I wanted to love the story but the narrator kept getting in my way. One of the the things that makes a story told in Ireland more magical are the brogues. The lilt and music of the Irish voice is essential to me. This narrator not only sounds very young ~ almost child like ~ but had virtually no Irish brogue or lilt. That was a disappointment for me.

Extremely enjoyable!

I find that most times you have an understanding on how the ending is going to happen. I really like this book one of the series, because it kept giving you twists and turns. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

loved it, and I will listen to the next book.

Ava Miles is my new author, that is added to my list. 🥰 on to the next.

The Family

I Loved the family Arthur and Clara and there matchmaking stunts.Trevor, Becca, TJ, Flynn and Caitlyn.

A sweet trip to Ireland

This story touched me deeply because I dealt with agoraphobia for 25 years. I felt every emotion that Becca felt and counted every step with her. I loved seeing the Merriams all together in the story. All in all, a very enjoyable listen.

I really enjoyed this book

This book is right up the romance path to a great and compelling series. I can hardly wait to read the rest of the series.

Em Eldridge tells the story in a way that really brings you inside the book. She reads as if she wasn’t reading words but relating reality.
