A grumpy-sunshine romantic comedy that sweeps a walking-disaster heroine from a humiliating breakup to the wild west coast of Ireland. Clumsy meet-cutes, a cynical romance author and small-town Irish charm collide in this feel-good standalone romcom. Even walking disasters need love. Clumsy, quirky and utterly charming, Bethany Spinner is a human whirlwind of catastrophes. Getting publicly dumped at her grandmother's funeral is a whole new kind of humiliation. Having had enough, Beth takes a page from her favorite Irish romance novel and sets off to find her real-life dashing hero. With her well-worn book and infectiously positive attitude, Beth boards a flight to the wild shores of Ireland. Her adventure gets off to a rocky start when she is seated beside Aidan Turner, the grumpy author of her favorite romance and seemingly the most unromantic man she has ever met. Aidan is in a slump. How can a romance author write when he no longer believes in love? His publisher has rejected his latest book, and the last thing he needs is the wide-eyed, idealistic woman beside him. No matter how adorable she is. After landing and surviving a series of mishaps, Beth sees Aidan again at a wedding, where he offers to become her tour guide. As Beth discovers the man beneath the gruff exterior and Aidan experiences Ireland through her eyes, fiction and reality begin to blur. Life may not play out like a romance novel, but sometimes you are given the chance to rewrite your own love story. Arse Over Irish Teacup is Book 1 in the Klutzy Collection and can be read as a standalone. Perfect for readers who love clumsy heroines, grumpy-sunshine chemistry, beautiful Irish settings and sweet romantic comedies by Sophie Kinsella, Beth O'Leary and Mhairi McFarlane. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Klutzy Collection:? ? ? ? ?
