Can Max and Ginny move past the past to find their happily ever after? This is a super quick read but definitely fits within this season.

This story interested me since its a divorced couple and their second chance. It is a very slow moving story told during the holiday time. I struggled with all the internal thoughts they had and a bit with the timeline. I did enjoy the relationships between couples, friends and family. There is a lot of thought provoking comments about relationships that really made me think twice about them. The father /daughter relationship is very well done. They joked and had serious conversations.

Overall there is a lot of good stuff in here between relationships in a variety of forms and the advice given. its an ok holiday story.

I really enjoyed this book, the story line, the characters, the setting, it was a great read! The setting of the town is cute with the main street, a diner without a name that Max owns, and all of the characters in a small town who know each other and everyone’s business. The characters are lovable and really easy to connect to. Max moved to town in high school and was made fun of for his stutter. Ginny calmed him and became his study partner and then girlfriend. Ginny’s mom left in high school so she grew up with just her dad, Harold. Max and Ginny were high school sweethearts, married, and then when Ginny was offered a job in New York she leaves Buckeye Falls and doesn’t look back. Ginny has been gone two years but Max and Harold still have dinner once a week and Harold goes to the diner often. Ginny is back in town because her dad has to have a hip surgery. She is unsure of seeing Max and when she does she starts to have all the feelings. Ginny still has feelings for Max but isn’t sure how he feels or if she should do anything about it because she will be moving back to New York after Harold recovers. Max is happy Ginny is home and still loves her. The story alternates between the character perspective so you get to know them even more as you read. This was a wonderful holiday romance!

This was a good, quick read. I am going through a divorce so I needed to compartmentalize when reading this. The bond between Ginny and Max was good despite their obstacles. This author does a good job weaving plot lines and adding depth to the story. I will read more by this author.

THIS BOOK RIGHT HERE IS HOLIDAY PERFECTION. this truly might become one of my favorite reads all year and I’m so glad I found this gem. This is a story about Buckeye Falls native, Ginny, returning home for a few weeks around Christmas to oversee her dad before during and after a medical procedure. She has stayed away from home for several years following the divorce to her long time friend and husband, Max. Ginny is a great worker at her amazing job in NYC which is what took her away from her husband to begin with who, at the time was also striving towards career goals. The return of Ginny is a delight for Max as he is so happy to be around her again and maybe get his second chance.
This was so heart warming I cried so much. I absolutely love everyone in this book. I felt like this was happening in real life I was so immersed in this story I read it in just a few hours. It’s not too Christmas themed that you can’t experience anything else. this has a perfect balance of Christmas holiday themes and real life genuine romance, drama, heartache and excitement. Absolutely worth a read.

So far I love anything Libby Kay writes. Kay makes reading an ease. Her books are easily devoured in one sitting. Falling Home doesn’t fall short of that.
Falling Home is a fantastic Christmas Romance. I couldn’t put it down once I picked it up, never once did I lose my interest. There is something about Kay’s writing that I appreciate, I am not sure what it is but reading is truly effortless when reading Falling Home. Kay creates the perfect movie in your mind as you read.

Aww this book was sweet. Married couples sometimes drift apart. It was great seeing Max and Ginny reconnecting again. I think as humans we often fear missing out and we let the “what ifs” take over. However, the grass isn’t always greener. Sometimes what we need isn’t what we want. Ginny learned that lesson the hard way. Luckily Max never gave up on her. Perfect Christmas romance story.

This is actually the second novel I’ve read by this author and she’s easily becoming a favorite.

Communication is key to a successful relationship. One of the many lessons that is learned throughout this holiday rekindling romance. Falling Home is a sweet story about a couple who lost their way. One was selfish and one was selfless, but neither properly communicated. Leading to the demise of their marriage. The author writes a story about their growth apart as well as together now that they are back in each other’s lives.
But will it stay that way or is it temporary?
Ginny and Max were best friends turned lovers in high school. Continuing into marriage, which despite everything they had quickly demised. Ginny wanted bigger things out of life. So when the opportunity presented itself she left and filed for divorce blind siding Max in the process. And he let her go, thinking this is what she wants, and it’ll make her happy.
Max had an opportunity to lay down roots in their hometown. With Ginny by his side he knew they could do anything. But when she left he was devastated and heartbroken. Despite all that he pushed forward by telling himself, this is what makes her happy. Now that she’s back in town to look after her father, he has no intentions of letting her go. He’s hoping to utilize the time they have working on the Jubilee together to sway her to give them another chance.
The growth the author displays is exceptional. It reflects two people who love each other, but struggle to communicate and open up. It shows the steps they take now in regards to one another as opposed to the flashbacks of their past. Showing how far they’ve come. But will it be enough?
Will Max get his wife back?
This is one of those curl up on a rainy/snowy day holiday romances that you won’t want to put down. So grab a blanket and sit on a nice comfy chair, couch, ect and jump in.

This was a cute second chance romance read! I really enjoyed the holiday vibes in this one, and the small characters were so sweet. I wasn’t too enthused about it being a second chance book because I don’t really enjoy that trope much but this one was really good. It was great to see the characters reconcile. This book was also very well written I thought. It was funny, emotional at parts and tender hearted. This is the first book I’ve read from this author but I would love to read more in the future!

This was a wonderful story to read right before Christmas! It was a story filled with Christmas spirit and finding second chances at love. Ginny and Max were such a perfect couple and I loved how the author let us see the viewpoints of both of them and how both saw their marriage and their history. The secondary characters were fantastic as well. I can’t wait to see more of Natalie, Cece, and Evan. They all were such perfect characters and wonderful friends. I loved the meddling dad and his girlfriend, working behind the scenes to try and bring about a Christmas miracle. I loved how sweet this story was and all of the different foods that were made definitely made me want to try my hand at baking! I definitely recommend this story to anyone looking for a sweet Christmas tale about second chances at love.

This novel was sweet, had amazing character development, a wonderful story, and so much more that I was hooked from the very first page. Originally I picked up this book based on its beautiful cover, but once I dove in I was greeted by a beautiful romance story that I simply couldn’t put down. So if you’re looking for a great new romance make sure you pick this one up today.

Ginny goes back to her small hometown to help with father due to him needing surgery. The only problem is she left that town and her ex-husband, Max, two years prior. Ginny’s ex-husband whom she hasn’t spoken to since she left two years prior. OF course, being home at Christmas time brings back nostalgia and second thoughts. Max finds he still has feelings for Ginny – will she find those feelings are still there for Max? This is a sweet Christmas romance – giving off vibes of a Kristin Hannah story.

Falling Home is the first book in the A Buckeye Falls series. This is an excellent read if you want a second-chance romance set during the Christmas holidays. I fell for the main characters, Ginny and Max, quickly. I could relate to going home to help a parent, but not everyone has a Max pining for them. Ginny left the small town for a job and left everything behind for a new adventure. Max stayed in the small town and prospered in everything but love. Will the exes find their way back together? The story is sweet and filled with holiday cheer. I look forward to seeing what the next book in this series brings. This story definitely helped me get into the magical holiday spirit.

This is a lovely second chance romance that has some really festive cheer to it. This book, for me, was all about the characters. They were so easy to connect either, really engaging and heartwarming. You could tell right from their first interaction that their connection was still their.
This author is still a relatively new author to me but if this is the standard of her books then I am excited to read more!!

I absolutely loved this story. I loved that this was about an ex husband who never really got over his ex and that the ex-wife ran as far as she could. I also loved that Max (the ex-husband) had an amazing relationship with his ex’s father, because I think that an overlooked part of stories can be the people on the outside who are impacted by the divorce. This goes for in real life as well. I also truly loved that when Ginny came home to help her father, the entire small town she used to live in conspires for them. This truly left me feeling the happily ever after. I highly recommend this story.

I really enjoyed this heartwarming contemporary romance with a second chance at romance theme. Set in the small town of Buckeye Falls, Ohio, during the festive holidays, Ginny Meyer returns to her small hometown from New York, to help her father recover from surgery. She does not plan on involving herself in any of the usual festive events, such as, Christmas caroling and cookie decorating, and she is definitely going to stay away from Max, her ex-husband. However, Ginny soon finds herself helping out with the Christmas Jubilee, along with Max. Meanwhile, diner owner Max Sanchez has spent the past two years missing Ginny, after she broke his heart and left town. He’s willing to do anything to spend time with her now that she’s back, and luckily he loves Christmas.
Max hopes that his charm, some holiday cheer and his famous cheese enchiladas will make Ginny reconsider leaving again. Whilst embracing the holiday season Max can sense that Ginny is warning to the idea of staying in Buckeye Falls, but he might need a Christmas miracle to convince her to take another chance on love. I loved the main characters and felt the chemistry between Max and Ginny really came across in this sweet story. The descriptive narrative brought the small town setting to life, and I loved the feel of Buckeye Falls and meeting all the townspeople. An enjoyable and engaging read, and it left me with a real festive feeling!

Ginny and Max were married, high school sweethearts. Everything was great until their dreams seemed to fork in different directions. Ginny followed her dream job to New York and Max stayed in their hometown. A couple years later, Ginny finds herself returning to her hometown to take care of her father. When she can’t avoid running into her ex… she finds that her feelings for Max, while buried, are still very much there. Can they find a way back together again? Or is it too late for them to bring their paths back together again?

What a sweet story! I truly enjoyed reading this book. Ginny and Max’s story is a beautiful one that isn’t too far from reality to be believable. Both of them love the other deeply, but lost sight of their love by letting life get in the way. I love how Max never truly gave up on Ginny. Their heartache and struggle to find each other again is similar to a Hallmark story. This is a sweet, heartwarming read!

Falling Home is a sweet second chance romance is set in a small town in the magical holiday season. Where the snow is falling and trees are being trimmed and the magic of Christmas is everywhere. Well that is everywhere except where our female lead is at. The book is a good Christmas romance story. A quick read to be devoured in front of a fire snuggled up.
Ginny is dreading returning to the charming town of Buckeye Falls where she left it all behind but now her Dad is ill she has no choice but to return.
Max’s life has not been the same since she walked out of his life. Now she is back he vows to find a way to get her back in it. Can they put the past behind and make a new future? Can they ignite a spark that once was? All that and more will be answered when you grab a copy of this book. Why not grab a couple and give as Christmas gifts.
If small town second chance romances are your thing then Libby’s novels will do the trick.

I loved this book so much. I fell for the main characters Ginny and Max pretty much straight away but I must admit Max wormed his way into my heart first. The story starts out with Ginny returning home to care for her Dad when he needs to have hip surgery but she isn’t looking forward to it because her ex husband is there. It is a visit that she knows will come filled with so many memories. She is also really uneasy when she first gets home to find out that her dad still has a lot to do with Max. Meanwhile her pending visit has thrown Max for a loop as well. As soon as you meet him it’s obvious that in his heart he is still in love with Ginny. I truly couldn’t put this book down because I just had to keep reading to find out what would happen. The book is wonderfully written by a creative author who now definitely has a fan in me.

I loved this book from the beginning to the end. I cannot wait to read more of this story. This story is filled with love and laughter and pulled on my heartstrings so much. I could totally relate to leaving your hometown and returning due to a family illness. I experienced that with my own mother. I however did not have a former flame to worry about falling back in love with. Thank goodness. Seriously, this is a wonderfully written story and I highly recommend reading it especially during the holiday season. I would love to see this picked up by Hallmark and turned into one of their holiday movies. I think it would be a hit.

I absolutely loved this second-chance romance. Max and Gin are so made for each other. They fell apart and didn’t really divorce for the right reasons. Ginny came home for her dad’s hip surgery and life changed from there. Oh, you must read this book. The characters are entertaining and feel so very real. They feel like the town I spent my high school years in. Such a well-written book, you could feel their struggles. Love is hard and they have to work to get back to it. Well-written, clean, and entertaining to boot, it sure makes for one of the best romances to read for the holidays. I give it a heartwarming 5 out of. Loved it and recommend it all the romance lovers out there. Definitely a GAC or Hallmark worthy. I can’t say enough. I will be reading more from this author.

Now that she is face to face with her ex-husband, does he still feel the same way about her as she does him? This is a great holiday romance.

When Max finds out that Ginny will be in town to help her father during his recovery, he wonders if seeing Ginny will reignite their flame. Will they find love again, or will this be their chance for a proper good-bye?
Libby Kay has written a wonderful story of two strong characters who put their work first. This story is full of tension, love, anger, strength and patience and I could not put it down.
