The Granddaughter’s Irish Secret: An absolutely unputdownable and heart-warming Irish romance by Susanne O’Leary

My Review:

When her boss and partner for four years breaks the news
Rose Fleury looks at their relationship with new views!
No way can she any longer stay
She needs somewhere to get away!

A timely offer from her grandmother, Sylvia, helps make the change
With a new home and job she can't wait to arrange.
Overseeing the remodelling of her her grandmother's place
Into a seniors' residence puts a smile on her face!

As part of the task she's looking into archives from the past
Researching her family history at last.
What she hadn't anticipated as part of this all
Was when the vintage necklace renovator makes a call.

The news isn't great, revealing a mystery,
One reaching back into Rose's family history.
Now the challenge is to uncover what's true
Until then keeping quiet is what she'll do.

I thoroughly enjoyed this gorgeous, relaxing read - 
It really was just the kind that I need.
With family dramas, secrets and mystery,
Mixed with romance and family history.

There's also a great sense of community, too,
Making it so easy to highly recommend to you.
For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.

Synopsis:

Rose places her hand protectively on her grandmother’s necklace and looks up at Magnolia Manor’s vine-covered walls. The jewels are her most precious possession, but she is terrified to tell her family the truth about where they really come from…

Standing in the doorway of her grandmother Sylvia’s home, Rose Fleury thought returning here was the answer to all of her problems. She has no job and a broken heart, but Sylvia reminds her that Fleury women of the past were strong and independent, and she can be too. Clutching a family heirloom – a beautiful topaz necklace – Rose promises to be brave like her relatives. Until she finds out that the jewels hide a terrible secret…

Someone in town is claiming the necklace is fake. Rose knows Sylvia will be devastated by this news, and it could shatter their family’s reputation. For the sake of her grandmother, Rose is determined to find the real necklace and discover why it was replaced – and quickly convinces handsome local lawyer Noel Quinn to join her. Though Noel’s broad shoulders in his suit and tie remind Rose of her ex-boyfriend, he seems just as fascinated by the mystery, and she finds her heart fluttering every time he catches her eye…

But when Rose traces the real necklace to another family, and another ancestral home in a nearby village, she’s shocked to discover a forbidden love that once tore her family apart – and that Noel is connected to it. Can she really trust the man she’s been growing so close to? And will the truth about the Fleury family cause a rift between Rose and Sylvia that is impossible to repair?

A gorgeous page-turner about finding love and long-lost family secrets, which will transport you to Ireland’s beautiful shores. Fans of Debbie Macomber, Tricia O’Malley and Mary Alice Monroe will be swept away, unable to put this book down.
