They share the love of music and there\u2019s an instant connection. Both about to spend Christmas Eve alone, they decide to explore Dublin together since Broderick is from NYC and hasn\u2019t spent much time in Ireland. The night that follows is unforgettable and Ophelia&#8217;s life will never be the same.<\/p>\n<p><em>Songbird<\/em>\u00a0is a quick read but oh, so good. I honestly wish it was a full length novel because I couldn&#8217;t get enough of these two.\u00a0They are completely themselves with each other and open up on way they didn\u2019t expect. I loved following them around Dublin and seeing the area through Ophelia\u2019s eyes.\u00a0They spend the sweetest night together and I didn\u2019t want it to come to and end.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was a wonderful treat and left me grinning from ear to ear. I loved it and wish there was more!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Rugby Series<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div data-post-id=\"18027\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-18027 \"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=1109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2093\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=2093\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The-Hooker-and-the-Hermit-80.jpg?fit=80%2C122&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"80,122\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Hooker and the Hermit &amp;#8211;
