FALL FOR YOU is a sweet and steamy standalone where, sometimes, you find the job you need and the person you love in the most unusual ways.

Davis hasn't found the work he needs in the time since he left his hometown, running away from a very bad situation. Instead, he finds himself working in a diner. Carson has come back home to rescue the family firm from bankruptcy after his father and brother drove it into the ground. It's hard for him to find an assistant who is prepared to work as hard as he does.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Their relationship grew and changed in a completely natural way. And I loved how Carson knew he'd found a gem with Davis, even before they acted on the attraction between them.

I enjoyed the scenes with the mums, but I did find it easier with Carson's mum. Davis' mum, Jenny, was a bit high maintenance but also funny. It all worked out in the end.

Low angst in all the best ways, this was a great read that I can definitely recommend.

I Expected This Ending. But It Still Disappointed
Ellie McDonnell is getting ready to head to Portugal. The country is neutral, and it is where people are expecting her cousin to head now that he’s rumored to have escaped. The hope is that they can rescue these escapees and gain information on the route they took to escape, keeping it open for others. While Major Ramsey is also on the mission, he isn’t in charge, which is a good thing since he has recently fired Ellie. But once they’ve arrived, will they be able to get beyond the tension between them to complete their mission?

I was anxious to read this book after the cliffhangers we got at the end of book four. The mission of this book gets off to a slow start with some repetitive action due to the focus on Ellie and Ramsey’s romance. Sadly, I found it even more toxic than it had been previously. When the mission picks up in the second half, I was hooked. Fans will be satisfied with the resolution we get in this final book in the series. I know I was. That includes the storyline about Ellie’s parents. I’m not sorry I read the series, I just wish I could have gotten behind the romance.
