The Crumbly Old Castle
Three best friends. Two crumbling estates. And one trip that changes everything.
When three barn besties escape for a girls' trip to Ireland, they expect a lot of fun. They don't expect to want to stay… forever.
Natalie was always the responsible one, the organized one, the together one. But when she inadvertently leaves one day early for their vacation and comes home pink-cheeked with embarrassment, the last thing she expects to find is her husband. . .in their bed with another woman. Luckily, they don't notice her, and she takes the trip as a time-out to figure out what to do.
Samantha's marriage has never been full of fireworks and trips to Cabo, but they were making it work. At least, she thought they were. When an unreasonable ultimatum sends her into a tailspin just before the trip, she takes the time to reevaluate what matters and what she wants out of life and love.
Vanessa's husband passed a few years before, and she's been soldiering on. Moments away from her job and responsibilities as a mother of three have been rare, but she has no plans of uprooting their life in Colorado. At least, not until someone she trusts betrays her in a big way. That wound makes her question everything about her own value and her family's future.
Can these three friends help each other find firm ground in a world that seems to be unsafe, unsteady, and unhappy? And can found family really be what they all need when the going gets tough?

In this Women’s Fiction series starter, we follow three women as they take a vacation to Ireland. The setting is picturesque and filled with history and fun. However, life at home is in turmoil for all of them. Natalie discovered her husband cheating, Vanessa is a widow, and there is strife with Savannah’s husband as well. As they decompress around horses and friends they’ve had through a life time, we get totally engrossed in this story. No matter how much I read by Baker, I always hesitate before diving into another Women’s Fiction because I always love to have strong ties of romance but I never need to worry. This story captivated me and I cannot wait for more! I adored that there were pictures included! I adore that all of the history of characters in Ireland is true! This was a lovely book to dive into and I’m excited to see what the next book entails for our characters. I received an ARC of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

If you like women helping women, if you like stories of growth and redemption, and if you like lush tales set in real places, than you’ll love being transported to Ireland with these three besties who are going through some of the worst times of their respective lives. But don’t worry—the story is about them learning, growing, and supporting each other. Fans of Elin Hildebrand and Debbie Macomber will love this.
