I recently bought a new kindle after my old one broke. For some reason I was unable to download this title from the cloud onto my kindle, therefore I will be unable to review this title. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

If you read the first book you know this is a series about brothers who will be left a billion dollar liquor business . Jack and Grace are good characters and I loved their families too. This is a light and breezy romance that will have you smiling for days and there is even some stream. The book did however start out slow for me and I did lay it down and had to come back to it. I devoured the first one. This really didn't feel like a second chance book. Don't give up on it though it will pick up.

What a great slow burn romance. Grace and Jack had great chemistry. I was excited to see this is a series and will be checking out the rest of the Murphy Bros series. I mean who doesn't love the idea of loving an Irish man. Just the accent alone!

This series is not my favorite by Magan Vernon.
Three sons must each be married within six months to inherit a business.....

After an embarrassing meeting after so many years, Grace & Jack's reunion doesn't exactly go smoothly. To make up for it, Jack offers Grace a job, but finds out he's actually willing to give her a lot more.

While not as intriguing as book 1 was for me, I still did enjoy the story somewhat, especially the brothers' heckling of each other. I definitely look forward to Sean's story.

I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book, supplied via NetGalley & Entangled.

I thoroughly enjoyed this light, quick read from Magan Vernon. I did not realize that Irish on the Rocks was part of a series until I was well into the story. I suppose that means it could stand alone. I was interested enough by the side characters to seek out the rest of the series. This story revolves around the need to have a wife in order to fulfill the terms of an inheritance, and it works well. The primary couple are well drawn, the dialogue is stellar - crisp and witty, and I was totally captured by the dog! Off to read more from Ms. Vernon.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

This is book 2 in the series. We finally get to see the conservative brother meet his match. Great humor. Some wonderful chemistry. Beautiful setting. Loved seeing all the brothers together as well.

Great addition to the series.

This was a new author for me. Although I did not read the first book in the series, I had no trouble at all reading this book as a standalone. The characters were very interesting and likable. The story was also interesting with some drama, emotion, humor and sweet romance. I'll have to check out the first book in the series now. Nicely done!

This is the 2nd book in the Murphy brothers series. Its the older brother of the Murphy's Good, likable characters, fast paced office romance! Even though its book 2, you can totally read it as a standalone!

My family's whiskey empire needs to keep me as CEO. But thanks to my dad's will, to take my place as rightful head of the company, I need to find a wife. If I could just get my brother Sean's pain-in-the-arse best mate, Grace, out of my head long enough to focus on finding a decent woman.
This was a cute, light-hearted book that I was able to get through rather quickly. I liked both main characters. I recommend.

If you are looking for a quick romance read, pick this book!

Grace and Jack have insane chemistry and I enjoy reading about their relationship. I love that Grace doesn't change herself to fit into what Jack wants. Their banter is my favourite thing about them.

Cute story, I liked that there's already history between Jack and Grace, that lends an air of realism. If you read the first book, you'll remember about the will stipulations Jack and his brother Sean had to abide by. Grace is unaware of said stipulations, and I couldn't wait to see how everything would play out for them.

After the first book in the series failed to wow me, I took a short break and came back to this one instead of reading it right after the first book as I usually would do. Unfortunately, this one was a bit worse than the first one!

While this was billed as a second chance romance, there was no evidence that they had even gotten together in the first place, so I felt that was a bit misleading. It also felt as if it was a carbon copy of book 1, falling for the office assistant. It wasn't really original to me!

I also didn't like the clichéd nature of the board, how it seemed to be a stodgy "good ol' boys" club and that the brothers had to ask permission from their "fathers" and "grandfathers" rather than make any decisions themselves.

I have to admit, there were a few good scenes in the story, and it saved the book from a lower rating for me. However, I don't think I'll read the third book in the series.

I had fun with this first time author, to me. Irish on The Rocks was a quick, entertaining read, with likable characters. I really enjoyed Jack and Grace, along with their quirky family members. The angst was low and the issues were uncomplicated and easy to overcome. For me, that equaled perfect. Just what I needed after a couple of not so great books.

I didn't realize this was book 2 until I came to write my review. With that, you won't be lost, but you will want more of Connor and Fallon. I think I may just go back and read their story. And I definitely look forward to seeing who snags Sean. Plus, I'll get to see more of Jack and Grace.

If you are looking for something fun and light-hearted than I recommend one clicking this one. You'll fall quick for our resident bad boy and his assistant.

So we all kinda knew how this was going to play out, and we are all not wrong. This was a fun little story, albeit a little far-fetched at times, but still an easy, breezy romance.

I thought this was good read. The writing flowed well, and I thought Jack and Grace had good chemistry. There isn't a lot of drama in this story, except for Grace's aversion to marriage. It felt a little forced to me, because she was a grown woman when her parents divorced. Grace's grandma was a hoot! She said exactly what she thought, and didn't care what anyone thought. I didn't read the first book in this series, but I didn't feel lost at all. I would definitely like to find out how Sean's story goes!
I voluntarliy reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

I received a review copy of the book before release for an honest review.

I LOVED this story. It is book 2 in a series of 3 books and each one easily stands alone.

This story is about the oldest brother Jack and he has two brothers, Connor and Sean. Sean has a bestie growing up, Grace and Grace had a huge crush on Jack but he never knew she existed, and in fact dated Grace's cousin.

One night at a function Jack runs into Grace and fails to recognize her, then he does as she spills drinks all over him. Hence starts their love/hate/lust/romance relationship. Grace's granddad sits on Jack's companies board and as Grace is unemployed he suggests they hire Grace and that is how Jack becomes Grace's boss.

Yep it is a boss/employee romance but also the forbidden brothers best friend thrown in as well. I really liked Jack a lot and Grace too and I am loving watching their relationship grow. One big obstacle in the story is that Grace is anti marriage and a big part of the storyline is that Jack's dad has died and he MUST marry within one year of his death - so he is also bride hunting.

I love Grace's dog, Jane Pawsten, he really is an adorable addition to the story. I will warn you that it is very slow moving romantically and is more inline with a slow burn story.

This was my first Meagan's book.
When I saw on blurb that it will be enemies to lovers story I thought : Yes, that's one of my favorites trope in books, so I need to read.. Mostly I like it, but I can give only 3 stars.
Starting this book I was full of hope because cover was really encouraging but I feel little disapionted right now... Iin general this book was written good. I just can't say that's typical hate to love stories, or second chance romance, because I don't see this here as much as I would like to see. . Obviously there were angsty moments, tension between main characters was not bad, but for me something was missing. I couldn't dive in this story.

Of course what I write is only my opinion, maybe someone love what I didn't like in this story.
If You curious about Irish on the Rocks You need find out by Yourself what is this book like.

This author is new to me and i liked her writing style, the storyline is good and the characters are likeable, i was interested from the start and i couldn't stop turning the pages, i won't go into detail as the synopsis is there for that.

I received a copy from Netgalley and i am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
