A special paperback edition with stunning stenciled edges!
Fall I Want is a feel-good, spicy small-town, romantic comedy with a billionaire who falls first and harder!
The brokenhearted billionaire visits Cozy Creek to escape. I never expected to become his fake girlfriend or fall madly in love...but here we are.
My first impression of Zane Alexander isn't great. The second is worse, but when he uses his powers of persuasion to get me to hang out with him, I can’t say no. We quickly go from familiar strangers to flirty friends.
When my ex returns, Zane flawlessly pretends to be my boyfriend to
protect me. He’s so damn good at it, I almost believe it.
I don’t know when our relationship moves from pretending to passionate, but I catch feelings. As our exes desperately crawl back into our lives like zombies, I realize there is only one man for me, and (f)all I want is him.
Zane
Everything changes the moment I see her. Autumn's enchanting gaze makes my heart race, so I push her away to protect myself. Immediately, I regret it. But when I find her standing in my haunted house, I convince her to be my friend. She begrudgingly agrees.
As the leaves transform and Cozy Creek's fall festivities come alive, our playful charade blossoms into something more.
The lines between real and pretend begin to blur, and I find myself
falling under her spell.
I should keep my broken heart in check, but instead, I fight for love
that feels like magic.
This woman is all I've ever needed and (f)all I want.
My review
I liked the book at the beginning. I could relate to Autumn and I thought the story was realistic, but after we discover who is the real Zane, the story didn’t make so much sense anymore. It was still cute and very romantic, but I thought it lost the sense of reality that I like to find in romance. I felt I was watching a hallmark movie.
I give my
star at Autumn because I really liked her at the beginning and even though I
became sceptical with time, a part of me still wish to live a fairytale like
her. I still believe that the connection between Zane and her was real, but it
was missing a little something to make it believable at the end. I loved her
humour, the fact that she had difficulties to open up when she met Zane, but
she slowly became herself in front of him and tells him how she felt.
Zane
arrived in second position just because I loved him at the beginning. Yes, he
had a character, but it was that make him real. I saw him like a man with
flaws, but scare to open himself in the same time.
I loved
Zane’s sister. Not only because she could predict things and she was the
funniest character in the book. I hope she will have her own story one day.
It was a
cute romance to read during the fall. I couldn’t wait September 1st
and cool weather just to enjoy it.

"Maybe you should write about Mr.
Dreamy and trash what you wrote when you were with Sebastard. I’m convinced you
can’t finish your novel because the story reminds you of him.” (p.5)
"Oh, I absolutely will be truthful. I
want to understand your fears of befriending people, especially men. I think
this would be good for you. Take it day by day with no expectations. Who knows?
Maybe he’ll be the one, just like Mr. Dreamy.” (p.69)
"Should I say
Beetlejuice three times?”

this road that we’re traveling down all the way to the end,” (p.152)
