Description

They say two heads are better than one.

Fiona Adams has a man problem—she has too many in her life. And thanks to her unconventional family, she’s wondering if she even has to settle for just one. Owen is the sweet boy (turned sexy man) she dated in college; Asher is the hot hunk starring in too many current fantasies. Both, unfortunately, are her coworkers, part of the writing team for the hit sitcom Wild Winters. She’s lucky her dear friend and third writing partner, Teddy, is gay, or she’d really be in trouble. 

 

Fiona’s resigned herself to having neither man…until the team decides to film the sitcom’s season finale in her family’s bar, Pat’s Pub. While in Baltimore, under the influence of her crazy family and a wild April Fools party in the Collins Dorm, Owen and Asher take matters into their own hands—literally. 

 

Soon, between all the hot nights and real-life drama, the team can barely concentrate on work. It’s becoming a case of life imitating sitcom…even more so when Fiona’s most recent ex, Mr. Big Gesture himself, shows up to win her back—with his biggest gesture yet.

They say two heads are better than one.

Fiona Adams has a man problem—she has too many in her life. And thanks to her unconventional family, she’s wondering if she even has to settle for just one...

This was another awesome book by Mari Carr. I just love all of the characters from the Callaghan clan! April Fools has lots of twists and turns. I did not want to put the book down. It has humor and a swoon-worthy romance. I can't wait for the next book!

Fiona Adams, her three friends Owen, Asher and Ted are part of the writing team for the hit sitcom Wild Winters. The team decides to film the season finale in Fiona's family bar in Baltimore.

While in Baltimore the team along with Fiona's family throw a wild April Fool's party. Asher convinces Owen to take matters into their own hands where Fiona is concerned.

Fiona comes from an unconventional family where anything is possible and acceptable.

This is my first book by Mari Carr, and I loved everything about, since the first page.

The very beginning was really endearing, Fiona and her pop pop just conquered my heart with their love.

The story itself was well written and the characters has depth.

SPOILER ALERT:



The only thing that kind of let me down, was that I was waiting for a MFM relationship, and it didn´t happened.



But, it was nothing that made me dislike, au contraire, I loved the plot twist.

I can´t wait to read another book by this author

I received this eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Fiona has always had an usual life, touring with her famous musician parents. So when she finds her passion in writing a TV show with her 3 best friends from college, it was a natural transition from one lifestyle to another. Plus, her massive family does unusual things at times.

So when she finds herself in a situation where she is attracted to two of her best friends, the idea of a threesome is talked about. Because Fiona is not sure who she likes more, and she's not sure if getting romantic with her best friends and also co-workers is the best idea of her life. She doesn't want to alienate one of her friends and make thing uncomfortable.

Soon, though, Fiona comes up with the solution, but she's afraid of how things will turn out. But to stay true to herself, she must confess to both guys her true feelings.

This was a great novel! This is my first book my Mari Carr, and I suspect that it won't be my last now! I was thrown into this series, but I wasn't confused or overwhelmed with Fiona's family. I am very intrigued about each characters story, so I will probably end up getting the rest in the series - just not right away since I have SO SO SO many other books on my to-read, haha!

Fiona is a spitfire - I especially loved the prologue where we see 5 year old Fiona and her spunk even then. Adult Fiona is even better, and so unique!

And then Asher and Owen? Wowee! I loved those scenes! It was so nice to see how they both have two different sides to them, even though I was just introduced to them in this book.

I am so glad that I got a chance to be introduced to this series! I will definitely be talking it up to everyone I know :)

Another great Mari Carr book with a April Fools!

Fiona Adams and her fiends got really lucky after college by selling the television show that they created after college and ended up writing when they travel to Baltimore to film the season finale at the bar that her family owned.
Fiona is finally on a long term break from the ex-boyfriend and the guys single for the first time since college. Owen Winters and Asher McCarthy are both interested in dating Fiona when Asher suggests a ménage so Fiona doesn’t have to pick either one of them.

The reader needs to read the story and to find out the April Fools that Mari Carr has put in the book but the entire story is definitely worth reading and Fiona’s parent’s story is Ruby Tuesday (Wild Irish Book 2),

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Fiona, Asher, Owen, and Teddy have been friends since college. They wrote a script and it was made into a sitcom. They are going to Fiona’s hometown to film the season finale at her family’s pub. Asher and Owen both love Fiona, so Asher comes up with them having a threesome. Owen gets called away for an audition and encourages Asher and Fiona to sleep together. Fiona is all for it but wants only one of them and is afraid to mess up their friendship.
Funny. Steamy. Great characters. Made me a little teary eyed. Secrets and shockers.

One of the main pleasures in Mari Carr’s “Wild Irish,” and now “Wilder Irish,” series is the entire Collins family. Set in Baltimore and centered around the family business, “Pat’s Pub,” the Collinses are many, varied, and always a force with which to be reckoned.

This book is about Fiona, one of the second generation. She and her three best friends, all men, are the creators and writers of a prime-time sit-com. They have decided to set an episode of their show in the pub, so they are all in Baltimore. Naturally, the whole family is involved. Even if you have not read any of the other books, rest assured that this is no problem, although if you have read any of the others this book is like a homecoming.

I don’t like spoilers, so I am not going to give any. After the sadness of the previous book this one is much lighter and far more fun. The ending is just right, and everything works out for the best.

If you haven’t made the acquaintance of the Collins family yet, “April Fool’s” is a perfect book to start with. Be aware that there are some explicit sex scenes, so this is not suitable for youngsters. For the rest of us, however, it is just spiffy.

April Fools, by Mari Carr is a passionate contemporary romance story, and the fourth book in the Wilder Irish series.

Fiona Adams is temporarily back in Baltimore surrounded by family at their bar, as she prepares for filming at Pat's Pub. While growing up, she was often traveling with her famous parents, so she's determined to spend quality time with family.

Owen, Asher, and Teddy are Fiona's best friends, as well as her co-writers for a popular sitcom. Teddy is gay and not a date-able option for Fiona, yet Owen and Asher are two men she's interested in dating. Owen dated Fiona is college for a short time, until she meet her long-term on-again-off-again boyfriend, who is now permanently off. With Asher and Owen vying for Fiona's attention, she has to make a choice between them...or maybe choose both men.

There's a surprising twist to this entertaining story, and it's a pleasant departure from the heart-wrenching story featured in the previous book of this series. April Fools may be easily read as a standalone, yet it's preferable to initially read the preceding books of the Wilder Irish series. However, it's highly recommendable to start with the Wild Irish series, since their now grown-up children are featured in Wilder Irish!

April Fools is geared towards those who enjoy passionate contemporary romance books.
