Falling for Finn (Maplewood Falls, #1) by Brooke Fox ~ Book Review

 







Falling for Finn isn’t part of my plan.
He’s older, moody, and complains about everything I do.

His family flies me three thousand miles out to their orchard farm in Vermont to do a painting for their centennial celebration. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime to do a piece for the Bennetts, but I don’t expect my clients’ grandson to rope me into a fake dating scheme.

When his ex-girlfriend shows up expecting to sleep in the cottage I’m currently in, I volunteer to stay with Finn to keep up appearances that we’re together.

Except there’s only one bed, and I refuse to sleep on his small couch.

As my reluctant tour guide, he’s forced to show me around while pretending we’re in love. Painting is my life and this job will bring me even more in the future, so I suck it up and deal with Mr. Grumpy.

And since he’s hell-bent on being insufferable, I won’t make this easy on him either.
But then he goes and falls for me, too.

Falling for Finn was previously published as “The Fall of Us” by Kennedy Fox. It’s been re-edited and includes bonus content.












I was so engrossed in reading this that I didn’t even realize I was waiting five hours (not the 2.5 hours as promised) for my car to be serviced. I was instantly drawn to Oakley's sunshiney attitude. Usually, I'm drawn to the grumpy one, but she radiated off the pages. 

Finn isn't happy that he has to take time out of his busy schedule to "Play Tour Guide" and show Oakley around the Apple Orchard that has been in his family for one hundred years; in fact, that is the very reason why she is there. Oakley is a brilliant artist, and Finn's grandmother commissioned her to do a painting to celebrate the Orchard's Centennial at a Celebration that will be held a little over a week after she arrives.

Oakley and Finn find themselves in a bit of a funny situation when his ex shows up to help out for the Centennial Celebration. Let's just say things get very interesting, not always in a HAHA way but more of a WTF way.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of the Maplewood Falls Series. This story had many secondary characters who I hope will get their HEA. Levi, Finn's best friend, is up next in My Greatest Joy, and I cannot wait to read all about the girl who hates Christmas but somehow winds up with the King of Christmas himself.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy Steamy Contemporary Romances, Age Gap Romances, Fake Relationship Romances, Grumpy/Sunshine Romances, or Small Town Romances.

Happy Reading!!!
