“Second chance always gets me right in the feels, but add to that a lush Irish setting, an independent woman who thinks she doesn’t need love, and a hot, sweet musician who still writes every song for her? I MEAN. Ivy Fairbanks has done it again—I’ll travel to Galway with her for as many books as she’ll let me!” —Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

“Fairbanks’ second book in her Love in Galway series will be a hit with second-chance romance readers.” —Booklist

“Ivy Fairbanks’ Heart Strings is for all of us who adore second-chance romance books filled with yearning, tenderness, and sizzling chemistry. Cielo and Aidan’s love story is one that will stay with me for a long, long time.” —Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out on a Limb

“Fairbanks impresses with this emotional second chance romance … Readers will easily root for brave Lo and devoted Aidan and cheer when they show up for each other. The Irish backdrop is lovely, and Lo and Aidan’s quirky friend group is charming enough to support future books. Contemporary romance readers won’t want to miss this.” —Publishers Weekly

“Heart Strings follows Lo and Aidan on their love story that has one last shot to work out. Told in dual POV, readers will enjoy the insight into both characters’ feelings and the choice to believe in love again.” —Cape May Star & Wave

“A charming and spicy Irish romance.” —Kirkus

“These pop-star romances hit all the right notes.” —GoodReads

“Heart Strings has a gorgeous setting, second-chance angst, complicated family dynamics, and at the center of it all, a beautiful love story. I loved watching Cielo let her walls down for Aidan—who is a TOP-TIER romance hero—and learn to lean on others. Cielo’s fear of opening her heart again and letting people into it, not just in the good times but in times of uncertainty as well, is deftly written and deeply relatable. I was rooting hard for Lo and Aidan with every page.” —Sarah Hogle, author of You Deserve Each Other

“A spicy, heartfelt second-chance romance set against a beautiful Irish wedding… What won me over were the smaller moments: late-night confessions in rain-damp alleys, the awkwardness of pretending everything’s fine in front of friends, and the way the author lets the supporting cast steal a scene without ever overshadowing the leads… You’ll close this one grinning and a little teary—this book makes you believe old songs can become fresh again.” —Bibliolifestyle
