Falling Home by Libby Kay is a small-town second-chance romance story. Ginny is back in Buckeye Falls to help her father recover from surgery. While she is there she is roped into helping with the Christmas Jubilee and her ex-husband, Max is her planning partner. I really enjoyed this story. Max and Ginny are awesome and I love the small-town Christmas feel of it all. Libby Kay is a wonderful writer that sets the scene beautifully and makes you fall in love with these characters. This book is like a comfort. It makes you feel warm and content. It is the perfect Christmas romance read.

Faking the Fall is book 4 of the Buckeye Falls series. In this installment, Alice Snyder has come back home to Buckeye Falls after going to school while traveling. Alice has put her wild-child ways behind her and is looking to settle down in her hometown. Unfortunately, the residents of the won’t mind their business and are trying to find her a husband. When an artist named James Gibson moves to town, he and Alice strike up a deal. James finds inspiration in Alice and Alice needs a fake boyfriend to get the town off her back. I always enjoy books that employ the fake dating trope. I loved James and Alice. James was a good guy and Alice and he were sweet together. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the characters. Watching them navigate their feelings together was fun. This series by Libby Kay is truly engaging and enjoyable.

What a sweet read to get ready for the holidays. Emerald Hollow, Oregon was a great backdrop for Holly to visit. I love that her job was to collect Cheer to power the North Pole. The ambiance of the book is that of a holiday time Hallmark Movie – full of love and lessons learned. I loved the elves – both the Keblers and Kringles! The themes of the story hit home to me, right now – finding life balance and where happiness really is in our lives. This is a must read for those who want a good light read that will lift your spirits.

This is the 3rd book in the Irresistible series but they can be read as a standalone. However after reading this one you will definately want to go back to read the first two books. This book was such an emotional read you will definately need tissues. The author does an amazing job of creating so much chemistry and tension between the two main characters but also showing the reader the confusion, heartbreak, guilt and constant battle they have to go through to not give into their feelings. Brian and Amanda chemistry is electric right from the first time they meet. Little did Brian know that the woman who could be the one is his best friends little sister. After Brian was warned to not mess around with Amanda, they both decide it would be best to remain friends. Brian has never done relationships. He has always been a guy for 1 night stands but when we learn more about his story and the secret he hides from everyone which makes him live every day like his last we can understand why. Amanda is such a sweet character who is a romantic at heart. She feels the power of the attraction between herself and Brian and wants nothing more than to follow her heart and jump right in but Brian keeps pushing her away. Can this couple every overcome the obstacles in their way? Will Brian ever be able to confide in his friends about what is really happening to him? And what happens if they leave it too late to give their feelings for each other a chance? Could they potentially miss out on the love of their lives all because of the risk of spoiling their friendship?
Honestly the writing of this author is so beautiful you feel every emotion between these characters and I was cheering for them all the way, even though at times I wanted to bang their heads together and make them see what was in front of them. Beautiful story, emotional read and chemistry that was off the scale this was a great read.

5 Stars Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series Book 3) by Marlyn Love
Beyond Friendship is the third book in The Irresistible Series and is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance/ Best Friends little sister Romance that I couldn’t put down once I started reading. Going into this book i thought I knew what to expect being this is a best friends sister romance. Well I was wrong on my assumption and what we got was so much more. This is my first book by this author but I’m definitely a fan already. Im definitely going to be looking into the first two books in this series. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with raw, yet developed and relatable characters make for a wonderful story. I literally felt like I could feel the emotions coming from the characters. What I wasn’t expecting either was the emotional rollercoaster ride but man it was worth the heartache I felt for Brian. This is Brian and Amanda’s story. He has a big secret he keeps hidden. He’s a one and done kinda guy and doesn’t let anyone in. He thought he was not looking for love but boy does that change when she walks into the room.. Amanda is one of those hopeless romantics who wants it all but its come at the worst time. Oh my these two had my emotions on high at times and my heart ached for them. Definitely have some tissues handy as you will definitely need them. Can these two get the happy ending they deserve? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Oh my goodness Blake is having a tough time of late and she deserves a break and some real people and love and happiness she deserves it all !
So Blake is out work at the moment but she’s smart I’m sure Harvard will get her on staff sooner or later 😉 she’s divorced and I say good riddance to bad rubbish , she was told she can’t have children and the house she was staying in just flooded 🫣🤣 I laugh but it’s not because I’m unkind it’s like really what else can go wrong !?
Morgan is a delectable man , he is strong and yummy , a good friend and yummy and a doting father and yummy ( yes he’s yummy 😉😜🤣🥰) he is raising precious Ciara ,9, by himself but he’s in need of a nanny and then he has to deal with Fawn on top it ! I don’t like her and won’t name her again because she’s a waste of space ! Harsh I know but plech she’s awful !
I love how Blake loves her books and languages yet can get down on a child’s level ,she loved Ciara from the first moment as if she were her own and her needs always came first ! At a stage Blake felt like she was loosing herself and often I think as moms and wives feel like that and that says a lot about how dedicated she was in her role as carer Morgan is a lucky man . I love the unexpected blessing that came their way and that their little family grew 🥰
Morgan and Ciara need Blake just as much as she needs them ! She just slots into their family , they were made for each other 🥰 being part of their journey had me laughing , crying , getting angry and just wanting to see them happy . Their story felt real , characters became a part of you 😍

A sweet take on Christmas magic! Holly is traveling around the world to find cheer so the elves can continue making Christmas magic. What Holly doesn’t realize is that she’s stuck in a never ending cycle that she created herself. What is she missing? Interactions with people! A bit of magic brings Holly to spot a flyer about a fall festival in Emerald Hollow.
The flyer intrigues her and Holly decides to see what the festival is all about. As she starts to connect with the people in the Emerald House and in the town of Emerald Hollow, Holly finds changes she never expected! As she meets Ash and his friends, Holly begins to find the joy in helping with the festival decorations. Meeting Ash and other people in Emerald Hollow is the start of something special for Holly, the elves, and for Ash!
I read this book as the first holiday book for the season as we move into October. It really got me looking ahead to the Holiday season and thinking about other Christmas books to read this year. The story is great, the atmosphere is perfect, and adding some romance is the icing on the cake or maybe I should say hot cocoa!
Oh my gosh guys!! You have to read this set!! You COULD read this one without reading the first few, BUT I would NOT recommend it! Just read them all! You will not regret it and you will fall in love with these characters and their cute little town. Plus the other books give you looks into the other character’s lives and small town life. Buckeye Falls, Ohio is a small town, everyone knows everyone, and the rumor mill is QUICK! Alice unfortunately has a bad rep in town. She’s finished with school and traveling and now she’s back living at home. Yes with her parents! In her 30s and still living at home. Something the WHOLE town won’t let her forget. The whole town (especially her parents!) won’t let her be when it comes to her future plans and her love life. “She’s not getting any younger”. She comes up with a plan that might get them off her back, but will she be able to convince James? James is an artist that leaves New York for small town life after his divorce. He’s been blocked when it comes to his painting and staring at a blank canvases all day has him itching for inspiration. Will he be able to get out of his head and heart and make some beautiful art again? When the two of them have a run-in in the library they both light up! James has some inspiration finally and Alice has a plan for the rumor mill of town. Alice convinces James to fake date her to keep the town at bay and James jumps at the chance to be around his new muse more and more. Will these two crash and burn with their little ruse? This book is super cute and so funny. I laughed out loud like ten times reading this! Maybe more!! You can’t help but fall in love with these characters. Each book is so good! I can’t wait to read more from this author and I hope she continues the Buckeye Falls series with more characters around town!

Having not read the description when I picked this book up, I was expecting a fun romance story. I was not expecting such an emotional rollercoaster. I instantly became hooked on the story and the characters and loved how everything developed. Although this is the third book in the series, it is the first book that I have read by this author. The characters are what really caught my attention with this story. The way the author portrayed them really had me invested in the story. I thought the whole book was really well written. It was engaging, emotional and kept you wanting to know more. After reading this book I will definitely be going back to read the rest of the books in the series and I am looking forward to discovering what else this author has to offer.

I found this to be a well-written romance. Using the POV of multipie (his/hers) made it feel real. I loved the perspective. The characters were developed well. I enjoyed reading the story. It had a very relatable touch to it. The author writes story that feel so wonderfully real. I would recommend this one.

5 Stars Faking the Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 4) by Libby Kay
Faking the Fall is the fourth book in the Buckeye Falls Series and is a Contemporary Romance with a small town Romance Vibe that once you start reading its hard to put down until you’ve finished. I would recommend reading the previous books if you haven’t already started them as each book is about a different couple but there are characters that overlap. Plus this is a wonderful series I can promise you won’t be disappointed. This might be my favorite yet. There’s plenty of drama, humor, nosy neighbors and so much more. Alice is back in town and hopes to put her past reputation of being the wild child behind her as she follows her dreams of owning her own business. James is struggling and feels stuck with no inspiration for his art while being new to town. The two of them meet and the plan to fake date is proposed to get the nosy busy bodies off their backs. But what neither of them expected was for it to feel so real. The more time they spend with each other the more feelings they get. Can their relationship be more than they both realize? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

Oh how I waited for this one to come out! I love the way this author writes love and relationships. It is the sweet romance we all need to bask in. This story follows Alice and a newly introduced character. It’s the kind of story to give the warm fuzzies inside. Alice hasn’t always followed what Buckeye Falls deems the normal small town path. She just wants to prove them wrong and get them off her back for a while. So she comes up with a plan. A pretty good plan actually until things take a very unexpected turn. Then just when you think everything is bliss things take an unexpected turn. I really do love reading about Buckeye Falls and only wish there were more books in the series. You don’t have to read the series but I highly recommend it! Side note I like soggy corn flakes too.

I’m sad to see this series come to an end! I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series and I would highly recommend them for someone looking for a bit of a romcom!
Alice finally got her story! Her family isn’t quite sure what to think of her. Alice is a bit of a reed in the wind. She has multiple degrees but isn’t really putting forth an effort to use them effectively, at least in her daddy’s eyes. All her other siblings are successful members of the community and are public servants of some sort. Alice is working in the library. She’s happy but ready to get from under her parents’ thumb.
James has recently relocated to Buckeye Falls after a failed marriage and a lull in his work. He needs some motivation to create art again. Then he spies Alice and the paint is flying to the canvas.
A super fun read about the Snyder family. This could be read as a stand alone but you’ll miss out on the backgrounds of other characters. I would recommend reading them all because they are that good!

Alice has come back to stay in Buckeye Falls for awhile. She is not used to staying in one spot, however her parents and her brother who is the mayor live here. James is an artist that has moved to Buckeye Falls after his divorce to get away and have a new change of scenery. James and Alice’s chance meeting has them both confused and intrigued about the other. James has not been able to create a new piece since moving to Buckeye Falls, however after his chance encounter with Alice things have changed. Alice has the bright idea that she should pretend to date so that it gets everyone off of their backs. Could things work out between the two of them or is this going to be just another failed attempt?

I have loved every book of this wonderful series and this one was no exception! I love Buckeye Falls and all the quirky, loveable characters. I was immediately drawn into the story and the wonderful main characters right from the start. Straight away you could tell that James had a big heart and Alice had plenty of fire and spirit. I wanted to slap her parents right at the very beginning LOL. I guess that is a sign that the authors exceptional writing had me feeling very attached to Alice already. It should be noted that you can honestly read this book as a stand alone but seriously why would you want to miss out on the rest of this fantastic series. Do yourself a huge favour and read them all!!

Marlyn Love did an amazing job. I love how she made the two main characters feel a connection and began to notice each other in the middle of a friendship. I connected with them because that is what I went through in life. It’s a heartwarming and inspiring love story.. amazing world-building and so many emotions with the characters.

This is the 4th book in the Buckeye Falls Series. Even though it is part of a series these books can be read as a standalone which I love because each story focuses on a different couple but all are set in Buckeye Falls. The author writing style is captivating and gripping which draws the reader in from the first page. The characters are well developed, you actually feel like you know them as friends. These books are sweet romance stories, they are never plain sailing, there is a lot of ups and downs along the way as our main characters fight for their happy ever after. This story is about Alice and James. Alice was a bit of a wild child and her reputation in Buckeye Falls still lingers on as the local residents love to remind her. After she spent time away studying and travelling she now returns hoping for some peace and quiet. However the residents have other ideas and see this as the perfect opportunity to get her to settle down and change her wild ways. While Alice isn’t completely against the idea of settling down she refuses to settle for someone everyone else picks or pushes her way.
James is a divorcee who has come to Buckeye Falls to restart his life. He’s hoping being in a peaceful place will help his creativity but what he finds is just empty space and not spark of creativity to be see. That is until he meets Alice. Now James wants to spend more time with her, being in her presences helps his creative juice flow. So Alice sees an opportunity. Why don’t she and James pretend to be dating? Everyone could win. James gets to spend more time with Alice, and Alice gets all the locals off her back about settling down. It’s the perfect solution.
But what happens when faking it becomes something else? When the kisses and touches light a spark between them? What happens when the fake relationship starts to feel like the real thing?
I love this couple so much. Alice is definately my favourite. I love how she knows her own mind and isn’t afraid to speak it.

This was a cute story! I love a cozy read and enjoy this series. I found the characters sweet and liked the lightness to them. I found Alice one of my favorite female characters in the series. If you are looking for something light and sweet to read- this is a good book for you.

Slow burn small town romance We’re back in Buckeye Falls and I couldn’t be happier. I love this series (and the town) and this addition just made it all the more sweeter. This is Alice and James’ story. Alice is Anthony, the town mayor’s, sister and has been labelled the town’s “wild child” – for good reasons. She has been feeling a bit lost and has made her way back home for a bit of reflection. James is a struggling, fairly famous, artist looking to get his mojo back. When these two meet there is instant chemistry. What unfolds has both characters having to face some truths. With fake relationship drama, gossiping town folk, interfering well meaning family and friends, and so much more this book will have you glued from start to finish. This can be read as a stand-alone but it’s so worth reading the previous books. Highly recommend.

Ignite My Heart by Alicia Street was the first book I’d read in the North Fork Series, and I was quite impressed! I will be going back to read the first book in this series before the 3rd book comes out! The characters are so realistic, and beautifully portrayed in their roles of a perfect romance. Blake is a Harvard-educated woman who has recently divorced and lost her college professor position. Morgan is a single father who recently moved across the US with his daughter to escape her mother. Fawn is a deadbeat parent who’s never wanted anything to do with her daughter until it appears to be a boost to her career, now she’s determined to take custody of her daughter in order to benefit her own selfish purposes. Harper, Blake’s big brother, who’s a friend of Morgan’s has a great idea to bring together Blake and Morgan so that Blake can move in to be a nanny for Morgan’s daughter as Blake is looking for a new teaching position. He may just have another thought behind this scheme and not just getting his sister a steady job, but will his wishes come to fruition? Blake turns out to be an amazing nanny, but also a wonderful woman who catches the attention of Morgan upon their first meeting. As the story progresses will Blake and Morgan be able to work around their attraction to one another, or will they put their feelings aside for the best interest of the child? I loved reading this romance novel, it kept me cheering for our characters throughout the story, hoping that true love could conquer all odds that come at our main characters. @Brandy Rymer 10/2023

Eek! I love this series so much. I couldn’t wait for this book to come out. First off the cover is so beautiful. Immediately catches the eye. Secondly I love the romances in the story and how we see them thrive in each book. Alice is probably my Favorite character so far. She’s the black sheep of the family and has a lot on her shoulders bearing that weight. It was great seeing her growth and putting down roots. Definitely a good read!

Faking the Fall is the fourth book in the Buckeye Falls series by Libby Kay. How gorgeous is this cover??? It is definitely my favourite of the whole series- so far. This is the fourth book in the series, but as each instalment focuses on its own particular couple, the books can be read as standalones. But, having said that, there is a cast of recurring characters who really add to the overall reading experience, and are really worth getting to know. So, I recommend starting at the beginning, if you haven’t already- because all the books together equals a lot of fun! This is another sweet small town contemporary romance- with a fake dating element, drama, a wonderful cast of endearing characters, humour, connection, emotion, expectations, family, friendship, and interesting developments. It is a ‘clean’ romance- suitable for those who prefer their romances on the sweet and less spicy side. Ms. Kay knows how to weave a heart-warming story and I have enjoyed quite a few of them, so after reading the other three books, I happily snapped up a copy of this as soon as it released- and found it was just as charming and touching as I had expected. Alice has quite the reputation – her wild child ways have made her the talk of the town. She hopes to put that all behind her when she returns to follow her business dreams. James is a bit if a struggling artist and is fairly new to town. He has lost his inspiration and without it his artist creativity has also dried up. But fate sees that they cross paths.. They have their own agendas here, but working together just might solve both their problems- so they come up with a plan- so let the fake dating begin. What happens makes for a fun read. Not sure if there is more in store for us in Buckeye Falls- but I certainly hope this isn’t the last we see of Buckeye Falls and all the endearing, quirky characters who help to bring these stories, and Buckeye Falls, to life.. I’m holding out hope for more instalments. Happy Reading…

You and Me Equals Love by Marina Hanna is a contemporary romance with a little drama, trust issues, doubts, emotion, friendship, banter, fun, spice, and just enough angst to keep things interesting. Even though the story was a little predictable, it was still a fun read that entertained me the whole way through. We follow Kate and Ben through some highs and lows, as they take a chance on love. Worth the read! I wonder what Ms. Hanna has in store for us next? Happy Reading…

Welcome back to Buckeye Falls, and they are under a hurricane warning. That Hurricane being Hurricane Alice. The prodigal child has returned and decided to stay in Faking the Fall. She officially came back in Anthony and Natalie’s story. And since I’m referencing it, yes I’ve read it. I love this series. These books work very well as standalone novels, but I feel like they are so much better reading them in succession. This author created a wonderful world. Beautifully difficult characters that you can relate to. Difficult meaning with each other. Now back to our current story. Alice’s parents want her to take her place in the Snyder family. Settle down, find a husband, hold a job that utilizes all her degrees, and step up to help her family with their political duties. Reality she’s still trying to find herself and this book is her path to self discovery. But perhaps a future too? James, is starting over. Moving to a small town to rebuild his life. Lending a hand when needed but still the artist that left New York broken. He’s another character who is trying to find himself again. Which is impacting his true passion. His art, being a well known artist. Until one day he’s memorized by this girl with beautiful green eyes. And now the town folks are talking. Stating he’s getting cozy with the mayor’s sister Alice. Is that what he wants? Well you are just going to have to read and find out. See the journey these two go on individually as well as together. Sometimes two lost or broken souls are just what’s needed to heal. And honestly you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy it!

I was able to finish this book in just a day even with having to work. I had a hard time putting it down and found myself sneaking a page or two when I had a minute.
Morgan and Blake’s introduction made me laugh out loud but thankfully I wasn’t in the office at the time so it wasn’t necessary to come up with an excuse.
I adored Morgan, Blake and Ciara from the moment I met them and that grew the further I got into it. So many little things made me smile, mostly the moments with Ciara.
I have noted when the next book is released and will be ready to read.

This may be my favorite of the series! I have loved the other three, but reading about and getting to know Alice more was wonderful! Alice is back in Buckeye Falls and living with her parents after a breakup. She has a partime job at the library and works some for her sister in law, but she is still living at home and not sure what to do next. James is a big shot artist from New York who decided to leave the city and move to the small town after his divorce. He has not been painting and has not had any creativity until he sees Alice at the library one day. Alice meets James at the town council meeting and propositions him with a fake dating scenario to get the nosy town off her back. He agrees because he wants to spend more time with her. This was a clean romance with all the feels! I loved the characters, I love the setting of the small town, and I finished this book in a day!

Faking the Fall is book #4 in the Buckeye Falls series and it was everything that I love about this series. love, banter, fake dating, meddling townfolk, small town sweet romance and just overall great story. While this book could be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning to get to know the characters that are in each book.
What can honestly happen with a proposition of “fake dating”….beside maybe getting the gossip crew to back off only having good intentions. Alice is back in Buckeye Falls trying to figure out her next steps in life. Having a reputation to hold up being the mayor’s brother and parents who are busy with town social events…..never thought to meet someone that gives her some spark. James is new to town already embracing his life in Buckeye Falls…but also trying to piece together his life after a divorce and hoping to get a spark of inspiration again in his art. When James meets a green eyed beauty in Alice…the inspiration starts…..When the gossip train comes barreling in…..Alice proposes to James to “fake date”….but what happens when true feelings come into play…….
Definitely read and find out!! You will not be disappointed.

I love this series so much! They’re all so cute and they definitely give me the hallmark feeling! Such a cute cozy read! A lot of tension and some angst in this wonderfully written small town romance! I highly recommend the other books in this series as well! Each book is just as good as the last one! I love Alice and James and I felt like I was there witnessing their story. I can’t wait to read more of Libby’s work! I’m a huge fan! Also, I’m obsessed with every cover of each book! That’s what got me to read the first book and I’ve been hooked ever since!
