Fall at Once

A Cozy Creek Collection Standalone

De: Nora Everly

Narrado por: Stefanie Kay, Bryant Walker

The swoony single-dad firefighter needs my help, but he might be too hot for me to handle.

I'm in Cozy Creek for two reasons: To get over my breakup and help my grandmother run her bakery while she recovers from a sprained ankle.

I am absolutely not here to fall in love.

But my grandma's smoking hot firefighter neighbor keeps rescuing me—from the side of the road, from a tree (don't ask), and then finally from my ex with a steamy kiss in a bar.

So when he needs my help, how can I say no?

As a party planner, I'm the perfect person to step in and work with him on preparations for Cozy Creek Fire Brigade's Fall Fundraiser.

Sparks fly as we spend more time together, but we've both been burned by love before.

I do my best to beat the heat, but then he kissed me for real, and (f)all at once, I realize we might just be perfect for each other.

Fall at Once is part of the Cozy Creek Collection of small-town standalones. It is a steamy, full-length romantic comedy.

A fun seasonal romance - lighthearted and cozy, like a steamy episode of Gilmore Girls.

ARC Review | NetGalley - Like most people, I tend to enjoy books that are relatable to me and my life. Funnily enough, I am also a girl from Colorado who ran away from my hometown in a Volkswagen Beetle. I grew up with a siblings and was very close to my grandma. And being from Colorado, I liked the feeling of familiarity that Cozy Creek + Colorado Springs lended me. I also tend to enjoy single parent romances, especially when the FMC is presented as a wonderful step-mom, because, well, I have one of those too!
I think the side characters were honestly my favorite characters from this book, Gigi & Kenzie specifically. They were both so amusing and spunky. And they have me looking forward to reading the rest of the Cozy Creek Collection next fall!
All in all, I liked this book!! It was easy, written well overall, with rom-com like humor, endearing awkwardness, and just a hint of spiciness.

Very cozy!!

I did love the story and the actors, BUT I wish they had the actual actors do their voices, instead of in the Cole chapters he’s imitating Madi which TOTALLY THROWS you off and then vice versa.

Simply need more

This book was so good. The ending tho I need more. Does the ex wife and her become great friends for co-parenting? Does Ross decide he wants her back because she was the best and try to break them up? Does he change his mind and decide he wants to marry her? Do the kids ask for another sibling? This one needs a second book! It was so cozy for fall.

Embers of a New Beginning

Madi is back in small Cozy Creek, Colorado to help her grandmother, Gigi, run her beloved bakery. With Gigi sidelined by an ankle injury, Madi moves into the apartment above the shop and steps in to manage the cozy bakery that’s always felt like home.

Cole, the town’s fire chief and a devoted single dad to two teens, has kept his heart locked up tight ever since his ex-wife left him for his best friend. His world has been all about his kids and the firehouse…until Madi walks into town.

Madi has always thought Cole was ridiculously handsome, but now that they’re older and spending more time together, the sparks between them are impossible to ignore. When Gigi volunteers Madi to help Cole plan the Fall Festival, the push they need turns into chemistry they can’t resist!

Now the real question is: once Gigi is back on her feet, will Madi choose to stay? And is Cole finally ready to open his heart again?

Good book

I don’t like when you have them read for the opposite sex. If you have female she should read the girl parts and the guy should read the guys parts.
