Thanks for reading my books!

I sat here for about five minutes trying to think of something prolific to write, and all I came up with was that first sentence. However, despite it being simple and understated, it's a genuine response. I appreciate all who read and listen to my books. And for those who rate and review it, a special thanks to you.
Happy Reading!
Katharine

Love wins in the end

I’ve read all of the books in this series, but I have to say that Murphy is my favorite. Beneath his fun-loving nature, a hint of vulnerability sneaks through when he begins having feelings for Piper, the woman who has finally agreed to work for him at his pub.

The decision to relocate to Castlebrook and join Murphy’s staff is more or less made for Piper when a cantankerous relative with a troubling addiction causes her to lose her current job. To Piper’s way of thinking, she isn’t worth the trouble brought on by her family baggage. But Murphy is patient, understanding, and has enough faith for the two of them. His calm determination and Piper’s hope for a better tomorrow eventually erase the doubts, letting their feelings for one another bloom.

I love the way the author ended this series, bringing all of the characters full circle. This story will leave you smiling, imagining the happy times to come. For the O’Rifcan clan and their extended family, the future shines like a bright promise.

Murphy and Piper have a difficult road to romance. Piper is vexed by her alcoholic father creating problems for her at work and draining her funds. Murphy is the happy and helpful brother in the large O'Rifcan family in Ireland and he is not as bothered by Piper's baggage. The backdrop of the novel is the wedding of Clary and Rhea and all the family gets involved. Love is all around. I give this one 4 stars because I felt that it lacked the spark and humor of the previous books, and the romance was not fully developed. There are some fun times during the bachelor party and the misadventures of all the men there. I especially loved the long Epilogue that updates the reader on all the family and their happy events.

Murphy: Siblings of O’Rifcan Book 5 is b Katherine Hamilton. Murphy is the sibling that need the force of people around to make him fulfilled. He accidently got involved with the previous owner of the pub who had no family and left the pub to him upon his death. The pub suits Murph and he is happy here.
He has been trying for some time to get a manager to come from Galway to work for him. However, Piper O’Beimer has refused. She does come down and help out a time or two but won’t commit to staying.
Piper would like nothing better than to leave busy Galway and come to work in a small pub like this one/ but she has obligations in Galway that keep her there. She lives with her aunt and her father. Her aunt takes care of her father during the times Piper works and he is in her care the rest of the time. He is an alcoholic and a gambler. She won’t bring her problems to Murphy’s pub.

Finale!

We get family, friends and love all set with wonderful Irish characters, words and ways of life in this series. This is Murphy and Pipers story which was ok its really Clarion and Rhea's story that kept me reading about all the other O'Rifcan siblings and their hea. Because each book centers on a sibling finding their one true love & all previous characters carryover and on in each book READ IN ORDER!! Deductions in ratings for the topic of alcoholism and not doing the severity of this disease justice. Extra points for the HEA epilogue and update on all the characters! 3.75 stars.

Must be something in the water

Murphy has been trying to convince Piper to come work for him at his pub for some time. But as the girls are celebrating the bachelorette party with Rhea Piper loses one of her reasons for saying no to Murphy. I loved how the author pulled all the stories of the O'Rifcan couples together in Murphy. You just have to love this family. Makes me to want to travel to Castlebrook just to meet the O'Rifcans.

I love the O'rifcan family so much and wish I could just live in their world forever. Murphy is no exception. I guessed in the last book who he was going to fall in love with, and was so happy not to be wrong. They just fit. It was perfect. Everything about this was perfect. There's something peaceful in these books, like reading them gives you a sense of calm after a long day.

Family

I think this is the best so far. It is so much more than just Murphy's story. It is a story of love, family, and friends!! I absolutely love how so the siblings, and so many other family members are incorporated into the story!! I can't wait to read more about O'Rifcan siblings!!!

Wonderful !

This series about the O'Rifcan Fami!y was so much fun to read and I feel as if all the O'Rifcan family are my best friends . Being of Irish decent and having spent some time in Ireland made it even more enjoyable ! I have to admit that I spent time looking over my maps of Ireland, but was not able to find Castlebrook. :(

Murphy

I am in love with the O’Rifcan family. I downloaded Murphy as soon as I saw it was released and read it in less than 24 hours. I think this was my favorite of the series but they all were great it their own right. I was happy to see Murphy find love.

Fifth in the O’Rifkin siblings series. This is the story of Piper and Murphy. It also quickly wraps up all the other stories, getting everyone either married or engaged. It would be nice if such wonderful families actually existed.

I'm giving this fun, quirky story five stars, but I share with you this caveat... read the other four books in the series first. I did not, and I think this book was meant to be read as the fifth in the series more than as a stand-alone.

Love this series.

Warmth to the max and humor as well. Nothing left dangling at the end. Can't we all just go to Murphy's pub now? I miss them already.

I loved getting to know the O’Rifcan’s. I smiled through most of the ending of the fifth book, Murphy. The books felt so real, the characters seemed like I really knew them. So sad that it’s over!
