An Irish Country Girl - reading

Finished "An Irish Country Girl" by Patrick Taylor. I have in mind a story I would like to write that includes fae-folk, so in the meantime, I picked this one up from the library. It would've been several hundred words shorter with the word "so" removed! Unfortunately, the story only started talking about the Sidthe ("shee"), and then for much of it, they were no more than a bit part. It was otherwise a love story bordering on romance novel. The ending was much like the ending of some stories I've written - far too short and abrupt! All in all, it wasn't bad.


I should also mention - this is fourth in a series, and reports are that other books in the series are better, though this one stands up fine on its own.
