Fall I Want Review

By Lyra Parish

From the Back

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.

Review

This story is a mix of cozy fall charm; family ties, festivals, small-town magic but add in ex drama, witty banter, and spice. The storyline flows nicely and has enough chemistry and banter between Autumn and Zane to keep me interested. This story is about their shared trauma about relationships and their healing journey. They both needed love and friendship and found each other at the right time. The other characters in the book were fun to get to know and can't wait to see what's in store for them, Overall, this story is very sweet and cozy fall vibes. The book leads into the next story with a Cozy Creek character. This book is part of the Cozy Creek Collection by different authors. If you love cozy, fall vibes, small-town romance then this book is for you.
