Family Affairs: A gripping family drama set in Ireland (The Fitzgerald Family Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars (401)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Compelling, steamy, and full of danger… I couldn’t put it down.” — Booksofallkinds
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A gripping read from start to finish.” — Romancereadsdaily

A gripping Irish family drama of love, secrets, and second chances — perfect for fans of Nora Roberts.

Francesca Jones has spent her life in the spotlight.
A world-famous actress, she’s used to gossip, pressure… and never truly belonging anywhere.

With her life under intense public scrutiny, she has no choice but to step away.

She returns to Ireland — to the Fitzgerald family, the only place that has ever felt like home.

No judgement. No expectations. Just acceptance.

But coming home isn’t as simple as she hoped.

Because Devlin Fitzgerald has spent years keeping his distance — burying feelings he should never have had.
Now Frankie is back, and staying away is no longer an option.

As old emotions resurface and tensions rise within the family, Frankie must finally face the past she’s been running from…

And decide where — and with whom — she truly belongs.

Start the addictive Fitzgerald Family series — where love, family, and secrets collide.

Review “Brilliant book and great author, equally as good as Nora Roberts!” "Even better than Book 1. Can’t wait for the next Fitzgerald series book. Bravo!" "Witty, gritty and totally absorbing!" "Fast-flowing, suspense, romance, a gripping novel." "The fifth and final book in the Fitzgerald saga is , in my opinion, the best! "

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Pamela G Hobbs is an Adult Education Tutor by day and voracious reader and writer by night. She grew up and presently lives in Ireland but spent 12 years in the United States, on both coasts where her love for romance and suspense novels was first nurtured.

The mother of two grown sons and the minder of a rather ancient three legged cat, she and her landscape gardener husband enjoy reasonably fine wine, fine food (mostly cooked by aforementioned husband) and fine weather - well the last bit isn't really true - the weather in Ireland is rarely fine.

Being a winner in the 2015 Novel Fair gave Pamela a great boost in her writing career - "so nice to know people (judges, even!) who you have never met, like what you write!"

Other than painting (her original degree is in Art) Pamela's hobbies include reading and ....no that's it - just reading :-)

    Her books are a marvelous tale of an Irish family finding their way through personal troubles and sacrifice. All five books in the series are a must!

    This book made me laugh, and it made me cry. It brought out strong feelings so much of the time, and family was so important to them all. There was one really long detailed intimate scene, which is why I only gave it 4 stars.

    This is the first book I’ve read by Pamela G. Hobbs. It won’t be my last. This story is beautifully written. You don’t know what will happen next. You will, however, fall in love with the Fitzgerald family. You’ll enjoy the suspense, Ireland, and the love story that unfolds.

    The storyline was interesting. However the pacing was too slow. I was tempted many times to stop reading, but the main characters were interesting and likable. However the main character who was supposed to be pretty smart never suspected who the person stalking her was.

    This is the first book I’ve read by Pamela G. Hobbs and I wasn’t disappointed. If you’re looking for a page turner that will keep you flipping the pages to see what’s going to happen next, then grab your copy and get ready to fall in love with the Fitzgerald family. Frankie was dumped on the Fitzgerald’s doorstep twenty years ago, so her mom could do her own thing. Most of the Fitzgerald siblings think of Frankie as a sister, but Devlin definitely doesn’t. After Frankie’s fiancé is murdered, she returns to Ireland hoping to get away from her stalker. When she goes to stay at the Fitzgerald’s lodge, she finds that Devlin is staying there already. While they are there, Devlin lets his feelings become know. Does Frankie feel the same way or does she think of him as a brother? Does her stalker find her in Ireland? No spoilers, so grab your copy and see what happens. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author.

    Reviewed in France on August 6, 2015
    A really enjoyable read. A set of characters true to life whose company I enjoyed and regretted having to part with at the end of the book! The suspense was very well brought about. It's the type of novel you get into straight away and don't want to leave down. A treat for a relaxing holiday read with a rich panoply of Irish expressions that help endear the characters to the reader.
  • Claire
    4.0 out of 5 stars A surprising suspense-filled plot and a satisfying romance.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2016
    This book surprised me - I was expecting a formulaic romance but while there's plenty of romance (and sex!) there are also some great characters and a suspense-filled plot. I did work it out but it didn't spoil my enjoyment. It's well written and moves along at a good pace, and while Frankie is slightly too perfect to be true she just manages to stay on the right side of annoying! I love the relationships within the family and I ended up with quite a soft spot for Flynn - maybe he'll get his own story in future?

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2015
    This is the perfect holiday read. Full of warm engaging characters, stunning Irish scenery described so well as to make you feel you were there and a lot of witty dialogue. This Family affair is a cracking page turner with pace and intrigue and a lovely backdrop. A love story, a thriller, a travelogue all rolled into one. The sexy bits are sexy enough to be exciting without ever going too far. The whole thing makes you glad it's the first in a series and impatient for the second.

    What a fantastic book! I adored the descriptions of the areas Frankie travels to, really sucked me in. She, and her family, are really good characters. I would be very happy to be a part of her family :-)
    A good mix of romance and suspense, with both equally well written. A great holiday read, I only say holiday because if you try to read it at any other time you'll get so engrossed you'll simply need to finish it, at the expense of everything else!
