Love is that which alters when it alteration finds best sums up Sophie Love's five-book (and counting) series, The Romance Chronicles, which chronicles 28-year old Keira Swanson's whirlwind romances while on assignment as a travel writer for Viatorum, a cosmopolitan lifestyle magazine based in New York City.When readers meet Keira for the first time in Love Like This (2017), she is at a crossroads in both her personal and professional life: she's living with her boyfriend of two years and wants more; she works at her dream job but is simply a role player desperate to be a superstar. Keira gets her lucky break when her boss gets injured and she is given the coveted assignment--just when she and her deceitful boyfriend have a fall out. Thus begins Keira's professional and romantic world tour.
Destination one is Ireland, a thirty day escapade documenting the legendary Lisdoonvarna Festival of Love--to prove that true love does not exist. The story that follows is...a romance of sorts which more successfully serves as an advertisement for travel to that particular region of Ireland.
The romance related in this book is pretty straight-forward, light, and breezy: Keira meets her tour-guide, Shane, they fight, make love, break up, and make up. Keira details her experience for the magazine. Her column is a hit. She is the world-traveling next Carrie Bradshaw! The end...but stay tuned for the continuing saga.
I do not intend to continue with this series. Romance novels in the style of ongoing soap operas are not for me. For those interested, Keira's continuing travels and romantic sagas take place in Italy, Paris, Scandinavian countries (Denmark and Sweden), Greece, (and counting).
