To mennesker. Ti sjanser. En uforglemmelig kjærlighetshistorie

An uplifting festive love story that will appeal to fans of }Love Actually{ and }Bridget Jones's Diary{. Laurie has never believed in love at first site, that is, until she makes eye contact with a boy on Christmas Eve, who unfortunately ends up becoming her best friend's boyfriend...

To mennesker. Et tilfeldig møte. En kjærlighetshistorie som varer livet ut. Å tilbringe 30-års dagen alene er det siste Cleo Wilder hadde sett for seg. Likevel har hun latt seg overtale av sjefen til å ta en retreat i lutter ensomhet for å lade batteriene og ikke minst gi seg selv en utfordring – det kan absolutt være nyttig når man har dating som journalistisk innfallsvinkel og skriver en spalte i uken om temaet. På en avsidesliggende irsk øy skal hun bo i en luksuriøs hytte, og hun ser – om ikke annet – frem til å nyte freden og tiden alene. Dette gir henne også tid til å planlegge videre kjærlig- hetsliv og karriere. Mack Sullivan gleder seg også til å få litt tid helt for seg selv. Han er amerikaner, og har kommet til øya både for å pleie sje- len og utforske røttene sine. Uheldigvis har det skjedd en dobbeltbooking. Og ferja går ikke på flere dager. Cleo og Mack som trodde de skulle få litt tid alene, blir nå tvunget til å dele den med hverandre. Josie Silvers velkjente varme, sjarm og innsikt i alt som berører hjertet kommer til sin fulle rett i En kveld på øya. Det viser seg ofte at det vi tror vi ønsker oss, ikke er det vi egentlig trenger!
