A Fun Read with Lots Going On

Originally published in the UK as "Dancing with Mules", "Wild Cats and Colleens" is a fun read with a rich and varied cast of characters and a very comical plot line. Xavier Big is an absurdly rich and totally out-of-touch with reality American whose devotion to his dead Irish mammy borders on the psychotic. When he decides (and publicly announces) that he must marry a good Irish girl that mother would be proud of, you can imagine what chaos ensues in every county of Ireland. Married or unmarried, every red-haired Irish lassie thinks she stands a chance. There are lots of well-written characters in this book, some of whom you will like and some of whom will make you grind your teeth! But its a fun read and I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it.

A great giggle!

This is one of those perfect beach/train/anytime books. The characters are really funny - especially the face products obsessed weak willed brother. It captures a sense of giddiness and fun - that has been lacking in books since the Tales of the City series. I loved how the plot escalated and ended on a very satisfying note. A great read - go out and buy it for all your friends!
