This second novel of the Village of Ballydara series is a rollicking romantic tale, about a modern Irish heroine juggling family relationships and the man she can’t forget…
Brash, irreverent Grainne wants three things: her mother's love, a baby, and Rafe Byrne, the only man she's ever loved—not necessarily in that order. On Rafe's wedding day, Grainne is keen for a fresh start—why not settle for the nice guy in the wings who’s successful, and mad about her too? Just as Grainne is poised to get her future on track, her family pressures her to leave Dublin for the quaint little village of Ballydara, to help her mother Eileen launch a B&B. Given her turbulent relationship with her mam, the last thing Grainne wants to do is live with her.
But when Rafe, her old flame, turns up in Ballydara a free man, Grainne takes a page from her favorite fictional heroine Scarlett O’Hara. She plunges into a no-holds-barred pursuit of her lifelong dream—the child she wants so badly. But Grainne soon discovers that opening her heart—to Rafe, to the prospect of motherhood, and to her mother Eileen—is the biggest risk of all…
"Mother Love is a novel that lives up to the lore of Irish tales. If you like an entertaining light romance that is full of Irish humor and family fun, Browne’s storytelling will not disappoint." --Chanticleer Book Reviews
