A standalone small-town romantic comedy that sends a jilted Southern bride onto an Irish sightseeing tour and into the orbit of its widowed guide. Light and comic, with a clumsy heroine, a meet-cute collision, second-chance love after loss and meddling village charm. Her fianc� left her at the altar, so Ginny fled to Ireland and fell straight into another man's lap. Ginny Lee comes to Ireland with a broken heart and an urgent need for a breather after the spectacular disaster of her wedding day. Getting left at the altar was one thing, but watching her fianc� run off with her maid of honor was another entirely. With her momma, her church friends and the florist all looking on, no one could blame a girl for hopping on the first plane out. Her solution is simple: grab a suitcase, head to the airport and join an Irish bus tour. Ginny isn't looking for scenery; she is looking for distance. Preferably a continent's worth. The moment she steps onto the bus, everything goes sideways. One misstep sends her stumbling with her suitcase running rogue until she crash-lands in the lap of her handsome, soft-spoken tour guide, Benjamin Murphy. Benjamin never imagined he would fall in love again. He has accepted that his great romance is behind him, until Ginny arrives on his bus, flustered and heart-bruised, and stirs something the years had put to rest. Between questionable golf swings, kitchen disasters and the meddling charm of small-town Ireland, Ginny and Benjamin keep tumbling into moments neither planned. Love wasn't included in the tour package, but two bruised hearts might be ready to take an unexpected detour. Kiss My Irish Grits is Book 3 in the Klutzy Collection and can be read as a standalone. Perfect for readers who love hilarious meet-cutes, widower heroes, fish-out-of-water heroines and romantic comedies by Beth O'Leary, Sophie Kinsella and Mhairi McFarlane. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Klutzy Collection:? ? ? ? ?
