 📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

In Every Possible Way is a single POV magical realism romance. Jess has just endured yet another disastrous first date, and the night just keeps getting worse when she ends up mugged in the parking lot and hitting her head. When she wakes up, she’s in a field in Ireland, and a grumpy and suspicious mechanic Eamonn grudgingly offers to help her out a bit. He keeps her company over the weekend until he can see her safely to the embassy to sort out a trip home, and the two pass an incredible 48 hours, with a connection that’s almost too magical to be real. Jess does t know what’s reality and what’s a dream, she only knows that she wants to keep Eamonn however she can!

I adored this one! I always enjoy magical realism romances because there’s an unexpected element to them. You know the HEA is coming, but the journey to get there has more twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I loved Jess and Eamonn, their unique circumstances, the way they were drawn to each other and the way they complimented one another. Loved the Irish setting and I had to keep pausing my reading to look up stories that Eamonn shared. Definitely well worth the read!

After yet another disastrous date where Jess is too awkward, too earnest, too whatever, she’s ready to put her romantic daydreams aside. Other than an enchanting Irish accent, her latest date is no prince charming. Then the night goes from bad to worse when she’s mugged in the parking lot and hits her head. Hard.

Hard enough that when Jess wakes up, she’s in Ireland.

The first person she meets is Eamonn, a quiet, gruff mechanic. Since Jess is stranded with no passport, cell phone, or way to get home, Eamonn becomes her reluctant knight in shining armor.

Over the next forty-eight hours, they meander through the cobblestone streets of Dublin and explore the Irish countryside, sharing their deepest fears, quiet hopes, and softest aches. It’s a connection that is as electrifying as it is terrifying, because what if Jess falls asleep and Eamonn vanishes like a dream? But a love like this—touched by magic and a little bit of luck—is never quite as it seems.
