#1 - Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling
Meet Aisling.
She's a small-town girl who dreams of the big city.
She has a heart of gold and an iron belief in the power of control tights.
She has a steady job and a loyal boyfriend (though he hasn't put a ring on it even after seven years).
Then one disastrous romantic getaway convinces Aisling to leave him behind and head for the bright lights.
But with glamorous new flatmates, a scandal at work and a weird love square, Aisling has no idea what's about to hit her.
#2 - The Importance of Being Aisling
#2 - The Importance of Being Aisling
Meet Aisling.
She's a country girl learning to love the city sophistication of unlimited Pinot Greej and brunch, though smashed avocado still mystifies her. She can plan anything, from Secret Santa for her ungrateful colleagues to a hen party for not one but two brides.
But even Aisling is thrown off course when her job and relationship suddenly go up in smoke.
Life in the city was supposed to be glamorous and grown-up, but all at once she's heading home to live with her mother. (Not without a detour to Vegas first - she's unemployed and single, not dead.)
But between making new friends and rivals, and finding her eye caught by a very handsome but very unavailable new man, going home is full of surprises. Could small town life actually hold the answers Aisling is missing?
#3 - Once, Twice, Three Times an Aisling
#3 - Once, Twice, Three Times an Aisling
Aisling is thirty, flirty and frazzled.

But - just when she should finally be feeling all grown-up - she's floundering.

Because when you're recovering from a broken heart as well as struggling to keep your café as sizzling as your award-winning sausages, it's hard to feel you've really made it as an adult.

Which is just the moment for the unexpected to strike and complicate everything.

Now is not the time for a delicious new man to show up, her best friend to demand the hen do of the century and a surprise celebrity appearance.

But Aisling, never one to worry about having too much on her plate, rolls up her sleeves: she's got this.

Until she discovers that being a proper grown-up means you can't do everything.

Sometimes you will let someone down.

But will it be those she loves, or herself?
#4 - Aisling And The City
#4 - Aisling And The City
She's single and ready to mingle in the bright lights of New York

Aisling, is 31 and life is good. Yes, her relationship with boyfriend John may be over but her café, BallyGoBrunch, is booming and it isn't long before an exciting offer lands.

She has been offered a catering gig in The Big Apple and, together with her best wrap dress and heels, boards a business-class flight to New York to start a new adventure.

But life isn't as easy and glamours as she first thought. Aisling feels homesick for her mum and best friend, Sabhbh and as she tries to find new friends and throw herself into the dating game she can't help but wonder if she's set herself up for more heartbreak?

Yet, New York has so much to offer, especially when a certain fireman comes knocking on her door...
