Release Blitz~ The Force Between Us by Ashlinn Craven

Title: The Force Between Us

Author: Ashlinn Craven

Genre: RomCom

Release Date: November 26, 2017

Geek girl meets hunky farmer… is there an app for that? Avery hadn’t flown to Ireland to kiss the locals. Her goal was to get to the famous sci-fi movie location, Skellig Michael, and gather data for her next killer app—the only thing standing between her and bankruptcy. Except that first kiss with Cathal—a huge Viking of an Irish farmer with a smoldering gaze and wicked touch—has made her forget what planet she’s currently on. Clueless on matters sci-fi, Cathal enthralls her with stories of ancient monks and warriors while confessing his real-life mission—to spread his father’s ashes off the wild Atlantic island before his vacation runs out. As boat after boat gets cancelled, Avery and Cathal find ingenious ways to ride out the stormy weather. United with him in purpose—and in panty-melting lust—Avery knows she’ll never feel so cherished, so mesmerized, so utterly connected to another human being again. But on leaving Irish shores, she needs to know how much of Cathal is real and how much made up, because he seems too good to be true. And how's she supposed to sext a man on a farm far, far away who doesn’t seem to own a flip phone? This is a 55k STANDALONE with HEA of cosmic proportions that sci-fi geeks, farmers, and Ireland fans will particularly enjoy.

4 out of 5 stars 

This is the first time that I have read anything by Ahslinn Craven. I found that this was a lovely, light on the drama story of two somewhat opposite people. After reading the blurb my interest was sparked and I knew that I just had to get to read this novel. Thankfully I was not disappointment at all. It was just want I hoped that it would be.

Avery heads to Ireland determined to make the next great Star Wars companion app for fans who travel to the sites where they have shot the movies. So I have to admit that all the Star Wars talk had me lost a little as I'm not really a fan. But I knew that up front that there would be a lot in it. It wasn't bad enough to make me not enjoy the novel. I did have to look a few things up from time to time but that was because it had peaked an interest for me. While on this journey to Skellig Michael, she meets Cathal, who is also on his own journey to Skellig Michael. I have to say I enjoyed how these two go back and forth before they finally give into their attraction to each other.  I also enjoyed how fate just kept them together on their shared journey.

While I really did enjoy this book I will admit that the one thing that stopped it from being a five star read for me was that I had some issues with some of the Irish names. I am not referring to the places but the characters. Also there were a few times that I found the story went a little slow paced. But other then those two things I loved it and would read more by Ashlinn for sure.
