Review / Release Blitz: Shamrock Kisses (High Five Novella #3) by Serena Pier

Shamrock Kisses by Serena Pier is now live!

Am I going to get lucky? Maybe if the hunky nerd I met yesterday takes me up on my invite to attend High Five's St. Paddy's Day party ...
Rachel Wagner, who's sworn off dating apps, is the last single one in her friend group. Focused on running her thriving cleaning business in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the thirty-one-year-old is caught off guard when she stumbles upon a bearded nerd while cleaning her biggest client's lake house.

Patrick Nowak, a reclusive cat-loving hacker, prefers code to conversation and planned to spend the St. Patrick's Day weekend out of Chicago enjoying a digital detox at his friend's lake house. But when Rachel, a confident brunette who seems way out of his league, invites him to a local bar's St. Paddy's party, his anxiety just might prevent him from taking her up on the offer.

In a game of attraction and vulnerability, neither of them is prepared for just how much their lives can change in a day.

MY REVIEW

Patrick's heading with his friend to get away from work. He's not normally one to flirt with a woman, but when one is at his friend's house, cleaning it, and she invites him to a bar for the St. Patrick's celebration, he feels this connection with her that he's never felt. Now he just has to get past his anxiety and go out there to meet her.

Rachel can't believe the handsome, nerdy guy of her dreams that she met at her biggest client's home actually showed up at the bar. Now they're talking and flirting and that connection she felt is solidifying in just a short time. It looks like some of the luck of the Irish is finding its way to to her and Patrick this year!

This is such a cute, sweet novella. It's not often the nerd, especially a younger one with a less than ripped body gets the girl, and I loved that it happened here. Patrick is an absolute sweetheart, and intent on spoiling the woman of his dreams. She in turn felt instantly safe with him, felt as if she could be herself around him. Though the heat is dialed down way low, the spark is there, and it was obvious they were building something to last. Because this is a novella, the ending is a bit abrupt, and now I want either a full length novel about them, or an extended epilogue so I can see what they're up to in their future.
