Emmy never expected her house to catch on fire and be carried out in the arms of a fireman. She also never expected that fireman to be her best friend’s older brother, and former secret friend, who is back in town after moving away 8 years ago.

Can’t Help Falling is an adorable second chance romance. I loved the main characters and their history as “secret friends.” I enjoyed the flash backs and the memories from their past included in the story. I loved Emmy’s love for books and all things romance. And I loved how she saw only the good in Owen.

The setting provides a bit of a fall vibe. There aren’t really any fall themed activities or anything over the top fall, but there are fall themed baked goods and the weather aligns with fall. Harvest Hollow sounds perfect. I loved it when the book mentioned some of the Appies players showing up at a gathering. I wish I lived in a town where I could run into an Appie!
