Book Review: Can't Help Falling by Courtney Walsh


                          Can't Help Falling - Courtney Walsh - New Favorite 5 Star Rom-Com!

Ya'll - this was SUCH AN AMANDA BOOK! I really enjoyed my time with this book. EMMY & OWEN FOREVER! 

🍂Best Friend's Brother

🍂Opposite's Attract

🍂Childhood Crush

🍂Firefighter Rescue 

🍂Bookish FMC

🍂Clean Romance

🍂Disability Representation (Dyslexia)

🍂Dual POV

🍂Small Town and Fall Vibes

The story starts off with Emmy getting started to work on her "secret" bookish podcast where she gives romance advice to those who call in or leave messages with questions (Reminds me of that awesome old radio talk show - Delilah! LOVE IT). Her house catches fire and she is rescued by Owen - the handsome firefighter who was her best friend's brother and the guy she had a crush on many years ago. Owen and Emmy haven't seen each other in 8 years and start to reconnect through this rescue process. 

I really related to Emmy in SO many ways! She preferred books and pajamas over partying any day and was a hopeless romantic - SO me! I also loved her love for Pride and Prejudice and the movie - ME! She just wanted her hand-flexing Mr. Darcy and we LOVE TO SEE IT. And the funny 2 Outlander references made me laugh so much! (Look here, "Chad" ain't no JAMMF LOL)

All the bookish references were GREAT! Owen was such a protector and I loved his complex character and learning about his life with dyslexia. Emmy truly cared for Owen and saw him as no one else did - and the fun secret letters/e-mails/chats that happened were the BEST. Loved Emmy's secret podcast and how Owen and her grew to really know each other again. The opposite's attract made me so happy - he was so practical and she was a hopeless romantic. It was done so well!

Overall, such a great rom-com that made me laugh and have the romance giggles! Pick this up! You will love it!

With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT! He kept on pushing the limits to help Minnie out. :)  A bookmobile is also a unique thing to find in books that I absolutely loved. I am looking forward to more ...

Book Review: All My Secrets by Lynn Austin

Image
  All My Secrets - Lynn Austin - 5 Stars All My Secrets by Lynn Austin is a multigenerational story of 3 women that explores first loves, grief, high society lifestyle, history, the Christian faith and the essence of what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book as I was fully immersed in the story and characters.  Set during the Gilded Age in New York, we see the strength of the Stanhope women following the passing of Arthur Stanhope. Left uncertain of their future paths, Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide grapple with the ramifications of Arthur's will and the looming uncertainty surrounding their family's estate. As they navigate through the aftermath, family secrets begin to unravel, shedding light on their intertwined history. I absolutely loved this story. I was very invested in the audiobook narration and learning about Sylvia and Junietta's past. We see the beauty of the Gospel in this story several times as our characters grapple with their past decisions, mi...
