Blurb:
At
her mother’s prompting (nagging) about grandchildren, Sive wonders if it really
is time to settle down. She’s just finishing college so she should be thinking
about her future. But is she ready to settle down? Is she ready for kids? And
more importantly, which of the three men she’s been seeing does she want to
spend the rest of her life with?
Sive has a choice to make, and only 24 hours in which to make it.

Excerpt:
Choices.
We
all make them. From the moment we wake up, it's: “do I get out of bed now or
hit the snooze button . . . again?” “shall I wear this outfit to work or that
one?” “tea and toast or grab something on the way?”
It's
all mundane bullshit. They’re all choices we make on the fly without even
realizing we're making them.
Think
about it. What choices do you make when you’re not thinking about them? Like
going home from work. You get on the train, find a seat and wait for your stop.
But when you get there, you wonder how the hell you got there because you don’t
remember making the journey.
What
I’m trying to say is that we often go on auto-pilot and just do what needs
doing without any real thought, because there are usually more pressing things
to think about—the important things. Or
seemingly so. Like, what movie to see, what restaurant to eat in, where to go
on holidays . . . and for some girls, this pair of sensible shoes on sale or
another pair not on sale but immensely sexier?
For
me, today, my choices aren't so mundane, and they’ll require a lot of conscious
thought. I have an important decision to make. One that could change my life
forever, pardon the cliché.
They—whoever
'they' are—say there is someone for everyone, that we all have a 'type' of
person we're attracted to. I'm still figuring it all out . . . exploring to see
what is my type . . . that someone just for me. And it doesn’t help that my
mum’s voice is in the back of my head, asking . . . i.e. nagging (yes, I just
said i.e.) . . . when I’m going to settle down and give her grandkids.
First,
let me say this: I'm not a slut. I'm not loose, I don't carelessly sleep
around, and I don't do one-night stands. I just love men and all of their vast
differences.
What
can I say about my boys that every other woman out there doesn’t already know
about men? Charmers, every one of them. But they all give me something I need.
Tonight
I need to decide what, or who, I need the most—Fitzy, Moss, or Sully.

Author Bio and Links:
Kemberlee
was born and raised in Northern California in an area known as America's Salad
Bowl. It was home to many authors, including John Steinbeck, and for a while
Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson. In 1997, Kemberlee had the opportunity
to live in Ireland for six months, where she ended up meeting a man who
convinced her to stay. Kemberlee is now celebrating her eighteenth year in
Ireland and has been lucky to travel the country extensively, picking up a cupla
focal along the way—a few Irish words.
Kemberlee
has been writing since a very young age and over the years she has published
dozens of travel articles and book reviews, as well as worked with some notable
authors who’ve set their books in Ireland. 2006 saw the publication of
Kemberlee’s first two stories, Tutti-Frutti Blues and Dude Looks Like a Lady,
set in her hometown. Since then, Kemberlee has published a number of short
stories and novels, many of which are set in Ireland.
