I was addicted to this novel from page one." --Loves All Things Books"What a sweet, enchanting story!" --Riverside Reader"I loved this story. The characters were well-fleshed and vibrant." --A Voracious Reader blog"This was a very enjoyable tender time travel romance that I recommend to those who prefer their romances on the sweeter side and love a paranormal element in their story." --S. Rose, Guest Reviewer for Delighted Reader Blog"5 stars. It’s very romantic and easy to read. I recommend it for all age groups who love to read romance!" --The Reader's Roundtable"4.5 stars. Kiss Me I'm Irish is a sweet romance hiding in an exciting time-travel tale. Emily adjusting to being dumped in modern times is a great way of poking fun at some of our strange habits while being glad for our wonderful advancements. Who knew what an adventure daily life could be?" --Sizzling Hot Book Reviews"4 stars. Emily is being sent to a convent for dabbling around with the Irish servants on her great-aunt’s estate in Kiss Me, I’m Irish by Bella Street. Before she makes it to the convent, her carriage meets with misfortune and she is able to escape to a ring of stones that brings her to modern-day Tennessee." --TwoLips Reviews "4 stars. Kiss Me I’m Irish was a wonderful read. The fairies, or piskey’s, are more like what you hear about in folklore along the Appalachians and other areas where the belief was (in some places still is) strong. That was a large part of the appeal for me; kinda old-fashioned yet contemporary, in regards to both the paranormal aspects and the romance. Kiss Me I’m Irish is tight, funny, with a touch of mystery, adventure aplenty, and surprisingly poignant; a thoroughly enjoyable read." --Manic Reviews
