The Disengagement Ring by Clodagh Murphy


*****5 stars
What a great book. I was looking for something to keep my mind off the weekend ahead and have some down time. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it to be a great read. The characters were all very well formed and I found myself hoping that there were spin-off books about the other characters, with more depth, as they only scratched the surface with them. I can't wait for my next read by Clodagh Murphy!

Book Jacket Summary:
After a series of hopeless relationships, Kate O'Neill is ready to settle down, so when her New Age Shaman boyfriend Brian finally asks her to marry him, she accepts. Even though her clannish, close-knit family disapprove of him, Kate knows that deep down Brian loves her.
But Kate’s eccentric actress mother, Grace, is determined to prevent Kate from making the biggest mistake of her life. She hatches a plot to scupper the engagement, enlisting the help of the whole family, even roping in Will Sargent, manager of mega cool rock-band Walking Wounded, and unrequited love of Kate’s life, in the hope that he can provide a change of direction for Kate’s affections.
Reluctantly enlisted, Will offers Kate a job cooking for Walking Wounded, while they are holed up in Tuscany working on their new album.
As temperatures in the kitchen begin to heat up, will Kate realize her feelings for Will are stronger than ever, or does Grace’s plan backfire and send Kate straight back to Brian?
