Review: The Irish Getaway (The Kennedy Boys #3.5) by Siobhan Davis

Book Blurb:

An optional short novel in the highly-addictive Kennedy Boys series by USA Today bestseller Siobhan Davis.

The Kennedy Boys go wild on vacation in Ireland!

It’s the summer before they start college, and Faye and Ky are visiting her home turf together—it’s Ky’s first time in Ireland, and her first trip home since her parent’s tragic death.

After a blissful three weeks on their own, they welcome the rest of the Kennedy clan when they arrive on Irish soil for the vacation of a lifetime.

Watch the sparks fly as family emotions run high and the Kennedy boys’ party up a storm, creating mayhem and madness wherever they go.

This dual POV short novel should only be read after Keeping Kyler.

★☆ This book also includes bonus content from Finding Kyler, Losing Kyler, a sample from Loving Kalvin and a sneak peek at Saving Brad, the fifth Kennedy Boys novel. 60,000 words in total (40,000 short novel and 20,000 bonus content)

My Review:

5 Out Of 5 Stars

Genre: Romance--

As a general rule, I avoid short stories and novellas like the plague, always wanting more and usually left unsatisfied with what I get. Well, I do make an exception when it comes to novellas that are set as part of a story or world I already know (and love!) with characters that I am already invested in, and this is one of the few exceptions. This book picks up a few months after the end of Keeping Kyler, with Faye and Kyler on vacation in Ireland and the rest of the Kennedy clan on their way to meet them. This is not a standalone and needs to be read after the third Kyler book, otherwise you are missing out on a lot of good drama and character/plot development.

This book perfectly leads into the next Kennedy book, Loving Kalvin, which I am sure is really good and full of the drama and heat that I have come to expect, but to be 100% honest, I am so desperate for Brad's story, Saving Brad, that I don't know how I can wait. I already love everything about Brad, and if Kyler and Faye weren't just so freaking cute together I would have rooted for Brad. But add in the fact that Rachel will be in Saving Brad, where after reading this novella I knew I had to learn more about her. I know about the demons lurking around Kalvin and Lana, but Brad and Rachel are a new kind of problem I would love to solve. Oh, and can I have a story about Keven like ASAP too! I know I have a lot of demands, but Siobhan has created so many great, layered side characters for me to become invested in I can't but help to make demands.

This was a great end note to the drama that has been Faye and Kyler, and I loved seeing them together and happy, without the obstacles and danger they had currently faced. Sure there was new kinds of drama here, with so many dominant personalities running amok, but Faye and Kyler were an unbreakable team here, and the setting is Ireland (which is my favorite place!) so I was swayed to love as well. They are so sweet, romantic and mushy together it can't help but to melt your heart (regardless of what the other Kennedy's say!). Oh and expect a LOT of heat thrown in short amount of pages, you may need to fan yourself, just saying. I am excited to start my journey with the other boys, but I really hope to see happy Faye-Kyler love in the background because they will always be my favorite.

I received this title for review purposes.
