Falling for You (Buckeye Falls, #2)Falling for You by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars!!

CeCe LaRue is familiar with the heat of a kitchen but she’s not about to be burned by another man in her life. She’s quite content working at Max’s Diner in Buckeye Falls. When an opportunity comes up to enter a cooking contest, CeCe is hesitant but interested.

Evan Lawson is that friend that everyone wants to have. Always a smile or hug to share, Evan is a remarkable guy. Is he perfect? No…show me a perfect guy please and I might change my mind. Evan is finding an attraction to CeCe though as they work side by side at the diner everyday. He’s actually been crushing on CeCe for quite some time and when the cooking competition comes up he’s hoping it’s a chance to get even closer to her.

A past flame in CeCe’s life could scorch any hopes of this relationship ever going anywhere if things don’t change fast!

I loved this second book in this series. I did read the first one as well and equally loved it. This can be read as a stand alone. I really enjoy the style of writing in this series and the stories come to life before you as you read. I found myself tearing up and angry and then the next minute I was fist pumping and hollering for a victory! I’m excited about the next book but was a bit surprised as to the characters in the next one!! I was just sure it would be someone else featured but hopefully their story is coming soon too!

This is a fantastic addition to this series and was such a sweet and enjoyable read. I really loved reading about CeCe and Evan. They had a great connection and I thought it was lively the way we got to see that grow.
The author has nailed the overall vibe of this book. It is easy to read, fun and lighthearted. It really worked well with thr characters that we are reading about. I connected with the storyline straight away and thoroughly enjoyed it right until the end. I am looking forward to the rest of this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series. At times it seems very slow moving. I did do some skimming periodically and did not miss any of the story. In here we see if Evan and corral CeCe into being more than his friend. I really did like both of these characters. Each one gets stuck on social norms which impedes their moving forward together.

My one issue is the complication with Eric. I do wish the author would have brought him into the story way earlier as it would have added another element for both main characters.

I do like the all the added time we get with characters that were introduced in book 1. Overall the pace of the story was slower but it still a good read.

This is the second book in the Buckeye Falls Series and it was just as good as the first one! After reading the first book I was definitely intrigued by the chemistry between Cece and Evan so I was stoked to find out about this book. This book follows Evan, a few years younger than Cece, try to prove that he is worth dating and not the kid everyone treats him like. This was a nice age gap in the sense that it was not creepy and both partners discussed the way it made them feel…eventually. I think it was about 5 years and he is in his mid 20s so her turning 30 that year was not too much of a gape for it to be gross. Evan was a sweet little golden retriever and Cece was fierce and i loved it. I adored the small town setting and diner vibes. The tight knit community in Buckeye Falls is really charming in this book. I am falling for the entire town. This book is fun and light and falling for these characters was so easy. I liked the setting and the communication that went on between the two. It was pretty realistic i think to how this would play out in real life and I am glad Eric got what he deserved and Dale had his behind handed to him too. Yay for men being put in their place! I hope if there is a third book it is about Natalie.

I absolutely love a grumpy/sunshine story where the male is the sunshine, and Evan is all sunshine. Getting to see his and CeCe’s background break my heart. Watching Evan and CeCe go from friends to the beginnings of a relationship, having to battle with sharing your pains with hear other and trusting them to run run away screaming. Small town, grumpy/sunshine, secret crushes, workplace romance, and wonderful food everywhere. What’s not to enjoy 😊

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved reading another book set in the small town of Buckeye Falls. This is the second book in the series, but it follows different characters and starts up right after the first book. The characters from the first book are all scattered throughout so that we can keep an eye on Max, Ginny, Harold, Natalie, and Anthony. In this book, we get to know Cece and Evan who work with Max at the diner. Cece is pretty closed off in the first book and we get to learn more about her past and what brought her to the small town. Why she has a fancy degree but loves the diner, why she doesn’t want to date coworkers, and why a big celebrity chef coming to town throws her into a panic. We also get to know Evan and why he decided not to follow in his dad’s footsteps as a big web developer but instead settled in Buckeye Falls. This is a fun, quick, clean romance book and I was excited to see that a third book is coming and will follow Natalie. I hope more come too because I’d love to get to know Evan’s sister, Mallory, more!

Cece and Evan are battling the odds, will they make it? Can optimism break down CeCe’s walls? This book was such a sweet and easy to read book! I loved every second of it and just found it to be such a feel good read. The ending was what I hoped and it was just so well written. The dynamic between the two MCs was off the charts and I devoured the book before I even knew what happened! An awesome read that flowed so well!

I really have enjoyed the Buckeye Falls books so far. This was a cute, quick read for me. I really like this genre especially when baking or cooking is involved in the plot. I thought that Cece was a great character and her chemistry with Evan was well designed. I look forward to more books in the series.

Libby Kay has taken us back to Buckeye Falls, to the lives of CeCe and Evan. Both work at Max’s diner, and while they both had a great time together at a winter festival, they both hide their true feelings from each other.
CeCe doesn’t see herself romantically linked to Evan, he’s younger and she’s nearing the dreaded 3-0. Evan tries to tell her that he is not that much younger and age doesn’t matter. As he navigates his way, patiently; they begin to spend time together outside of work.
Of course, what Evan doesn’t know is that CeCe has another secret and she is not entirely sure she should open up to Evan.
These characters are wonderfully written, this story is filled with friendship, admiration, love, and a fighting spirit. CeCe and Evan’s story kept my interest from beginning to end.

I was so excited to pick up the second book in this series and it didn’t disappoint! I fell in love with CeCe and Evan straight away – they were both such relatable and down to earth characters, very much so like the characters in book 1. CeCe was hurt by what had happened in her past so think it’s perfectly acceptable that she is so independent and has her walls up to try and protect herself from being hurt again. I knew as soon as CeCe and Evan met he would be the one to heal her and show her how lovely a relationship can be, he was such a true gentleman and I just adored him! I also loved the community feel in this book, all of the characters both main and secondary were lovely!
This really was a beautiful story, well written and with amazing characters. I would highly recommend it and I can’t wait for more from this author!!

Buckeye Falls is the cutest little place! This book is so cute and gives me all the feels. I adored the first one and I adore this one. I love series that are about the same group of people but with a different main character. It’s so well written and so good. I can’t wait to read about Natalie in the next book!

CeCe is having a hard time since the Christmas Jubilee because she is starting to have feeling towards Evan. She doesn’t want to have feelings for him since they work together at the diner, but she knows there is something different about him. There is also a big hurdle coming to Buckeye Falls that has CeCe questioning whether to stay or run. Her ex boyfriend, Eric, is coming to Buckeye Falls for a food truck competition. What could possibly go wrong?

Falling for You is the second book in the Buckeye Falls Series and is a Contemporary Romance that I pretty much devoured in one sitting. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first book as well if you haven’t already. This is a sweet romance that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is CeCe and Evans story. He’s had a crush on her for a while and he throws out suttle little hints he wants more but she has locked her heart up from past times of being hurt. With a celebrity chef and cooking competition coming to town CeCe’s time is up no more running from her past Can Evan steal her heart and make her see she can love again? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Falling Home is the second book in the Buckeye Falls series by Libby Kay. This is a charming contemporary romance with a small-town setting, chemistry, emotion, painful pasts, secret-crushes, co-worker/workplace romance, touching details, and taking a chance on love. Add in a cooking competition, and some sparks, and things take a sweet and heart-warming turn.
A wonderful addition to the series. Bring on Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Libby Kay!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling for You was the perfect book 2 in this series. Yes I say series, however it works perfectly fine as a standalone novel. This author knows how to hook the audience reading this particular genre. And that makes me a huge fan!
CeCe is an independently strong woman who has survived a lot of adversity in life. Especially that of her ex-boyfriend who tried to destroy her life and career because she left him.
Why’d she’d leave him? Well that’s an answer you’re going to have to read to find out.
Evan sees CeCe and she’s everything he wants. But at the same time he knows it won’t be easy. The walls she’s erected to protect herself and her heart are almost impenetrable, like i said almost. As he gradually chips away he realizes he doesn’t want to let go.
But how does she feel about that?
So many questions and so few answers. Well maybe if you check this book out you will get all the answers. The character growth was written beautifully, especially for CeCe. Watching it unfold made me happy. When an author writes a strong female character, I will always be on board!
Now it’s time for book 3! I need more… lol

I was so excited to get to read Falling for You, the second book in the Buckeye Falls series, and it did not disappoint! This can definitely be read as a standalone story, but I would absolutely recommend reading book 1 Falling Home as both CeCe and Evan are in book 1. Evan is just such a perfect rom com book boyfriend; he is sexy, smart, sweet, caring and just overall a wonderful guy. CeCe was such a great character and her character’s growth was so incredible to see. I loved getting to meet Evan’s family and I loved how CeCe handled meeting them all! It was wonderful getting to see Max and Ginny again as well. I just love Natalie’s character and it looks like she will be getting her own story in book 3! Overall it’s a well written story, and I can’t wait to see what will happen next in Buckeye Falls.

CeCe LaRue has her career in hand but is feeling anxious when she finds out her ex is coming to town for a cooking competition. Dealing with the potential nightmare she is intent to ignore Evan Lawson, her co-worker. Evan is sweet, attentive and not a line she wants to cross. CeCe has been burned badly before though and doesn’t want the heartache.

Evan has been slowly wooing CeCe even if she didn’t realize it. When he decides to put his cards on the table will she give him a chance or hide what she is feeling?

Second in the Buckeye Falls series. I really liked Evan, he has a family dynamic I was very surprised about. I really enjoyed this couple and seeing them go from friends to more. Definitely a series to keep your eyes on.

Falling for You is the second book in the Buckeye Falls series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone if you don’t mind getting a few spoilers for Falling Home! It follows CeCe and Evan who have both ended up working at the same diner. They have feelings for each other, but CeCe has a rule against dating coworkers.
This is an enjoyable book for anyone who enjoys a culinary romance! Evan is such a sweet character – I love all the things he does to stay close with his sisters, who are themselves great characters, particularly Mallory!
It’s also an uplifting story, with CeCe learning to face the past she has been running from and overcome the pain she still carries. It’s great seeing how her community are there for her when things are tough.
This book gets five stars from me! A great comfort read. I would recommend keeping snacks in reach as the descriptions of food in this will definitely make you hungry…

Libby Kay is easily becoming one of my favorite authors. Her stories and the characters she writes are always amazing. The first book to this series was great because I simply adored Max & Ginny. so I knew this one would be too. NOW I LOVE EVAN & CECE! So so much. But Cece’s past is coming to haunt her…can her and Evan make it? If you want a great soft romance, this is for you. This is a book I easily see myself doing a re read of. I also hope Libby writes more for this series!

In the story, Falling Home, we follow Ginny and her life and love. I didn’t read the Buckeye Falls series in order so I knew a bit about Ginny already from book two. This didn’t deter me from reading Falling Home since it was just Ginny’s life story and reminding love. It was nice to see another person in the series’ story come to life. I definitely recommend the Buckeye Falls series.

I love little stories that show small town life with big dreams. That is exactly what Libby Kay did with the story Falling For You. CeCe has a past that brought her to Buckeye Falls, where she has made a great life but she is missing love. Is Evan gonna be the missing piece in her life or will her past creep up on her and ruin everything. Falling For You is realistic in the sense of things that could be happening in the world that we just don’t know about. Perfectly wrote fiction with big dreams and realistic life.

Falling For You
By: Libby Kay

This is the second book in the Buckeye Falls Series. I have read the first book, but this one definitely functions as a stand alone. I am definitely a sucker for a good small town novel, especially a small town romance. This book and all of the Buckeye Falls Series delivers on the quintessential good vibes of a small town romance. I love all of the characters and truly wish that I lived in Buckeye Falls.
In this one, we focus on CeCe and we see how her past has shaped her future. She wound up in Buckeye Falls to escape her past. Evan is a sweet, patient soul. He is also the optimist that CeCe needs. This is the sweetest romance that I definitely recommend!

This second book in the Buckeye Falls series definitely hit the spot! It was such a sweet romance and I loved all of the characters. This time you get to read CeCe’s story. Learning more about her past you see why she keeps her distance. She came to Buckeye Falls to disappear and escape her past. Then Evan smiles his way into her heart with his sweet optimism. Both of them have things in their past that make them question themselves and the paths they are on. CeCe is strong willed, and Evan may just be the patient heart she needs. This story can definitely be read as a stand-alone but why miss out on a sweet romance in book one! I am already looking forward to book three!

This author has created a gorgeous town filled with wonderful characters that I really hope I get to read about over and over again. CeCe is very much shaped by moments of her past and even though her attraction to Evan is strong she is very hesitant to break her no dating co workers rule! Meanwhile Evan is being the perfect friend all while wanting so much more! Their story is heartfelt, wonderful and should not be missed! I can’t wait to go back to Buckeye Falls to see what is in store next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When the hottest and sweetest guy in town is crushing on you, what is a girl to do?
CeCe is an amazing and grumpy pastry chef at the Buckeye Falls diner. Well loved by the townspeople for her mouthwatering creations. And then there is Evan – sweet, optimistic, full of sunshine and big feelings for CeCe. He is learning the art of cooking with admiration in his heart and love hearts in his eyes. While they are navigating what they are to each other – enter a food truck competition that has CeCe in a state. This competition could mean so much to the diner as a business and CeCe’s hesitation comes from a place of broken hearts, her ex is the famous chef that is running the competition. Will CeCe and Evan find each other through the road blocks that keep popping up?

This was so sweet and heartwarming! The little town is filled with kindness and a dash of small town gossip. This story of CeCe and Evan’s friendship/ relationship is the cutest. The hesitation and the bravery between CeCe and Evan was captured with such heart and soul. I had already fallen in love with Buckeye Falls and its people during the previous book “Falling Home”, this just had me falling harder. I really enjoyed Evan’s relationship with his sister Malory – it really felt like a ride or die! And the “friends family” of the diner staff was uplifting and really embraced the true meaning of family.

Libby Kay is fast becoming a favourite author of mine. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and most certainly recommend romance readers give their heart to the Buckeye Falls crew! I cannot wait for the next adventure!
