The Lucky Shamrock

3 cousins who hate each other. The bar hopping one night stand cousin, the one with no life outside of her church, and what I thought of as the peacemaker. Forced to live and work together in close quarters. This is a romance but it's also a family drama that held my interest and was satisfying to follow. The romance was sweet, built slowly, based on knowing each other well. Nothing explicit there. I was looking forward to reading more of her work about the other cousins. The let down was the ending. It's as if there was a deadline so the author just threw in a conclusion.The cousin who was only interested in one night stands was not a big part of the story. She was seen as just different and nothing wrong with the way she was, nobody else's business. I'd be okay with that except the other cousin who was strongly religious and felt that sex only belonged in marriage was seen as "improving" when she said she might reconsider waiting. So celibacy is a problem (not the obsession with church) but promiscuity is acceptable (as opposed to actual relationships being better.)I would read more by this author but hope the stories weren't ended quite as abruptly.

Three cousins, Taryn, Anna Rose and Jorja, are summoned back to their home town of Shamrock to help out in their Nana Irene's flower shop, the Lucky Shamrock. Irene’s friend and business partner, Ruby has fallen and broken her hip, and Irene needs to care for her.All three girls left the small town and bad memories as soon as possible, planning never to return. Their parents may be scattered in the wind, but Irene wants her granddaughters to set aside their constant bickering and learn how to be a family.Heartwarming, poignant, and inspiring, this story of family, community, and second chances is the perfect read for romance and women's fiction lovers of all ages.

Loved how the three Cousins learned to reconnect and lean on each other and recover from hurts from the past. They learned to become a family and to stick together. Their grandmother was a major player to help these three cousin realize that life withfamily who stick together and love each other is very sweet! Enjoy!!

Another hit from Carolyn Brown, a tale of family who run a flower shop that brings three lucky cousins back to their home town , to help their aunt and grandmother run their business while the older women recover from surgery.Love blooms and past problems are resolved in a very romantic fashion.A real page turner!

I Have read Carolyn Brown books for several years now and she can tell a story that makes you feel like you are one of the characters in the book. The Lucky Shamrock has three cousins who get under each other skin and fight e=about just about everything. The Lucky Shamrock, their Grandmother's flower shop, changes that in time. I highly recommend this book especially if you want a fun, easy going read.

I always love these characters! Even the bratty ones, because they feel so real, like people you know or could have in your own family. There are some very touchy subjects here, so go in knowing that they are gently handled. As with every book, it’s an emotional rollercoaster.

Three cousin return to their hometown to help in their grandmother’s flower shop. All three girls have skeletons in the past. Together they clean the closets and begin living lives they only dreamed of. I don’t EVER say this, but this book would of been nice as a series. I just wish it wasn’t the end.

Love Ms. Carolyn’s stories but this one might be the best yet. Three cousins who can’t get along become best friends when they come home to Shamrock to help their nana in the flower shop. Didn’t want this book to end!

Loved the characters and the setting and with the added bonus of a great narration included to add the voices finished it in almost one sitting.
