Synopsis
What happens when two people who’ve given up on forever find it in each other…?
Single men are as scarce in Forever Falls as a vegetarian at a barbecue. That is, until Ethan Hammersmith moves in. After his fiancée gave him an ultimatum, he left Australia and never looked back. He isn’t in America to find a new girlfriend, though. He’s searching for the father he never knew. But now it’s like he has a flashing sign above his head that says “available.” Thankfully, the manager of the local diner is willing to give him cover—if only she weren’t so distractingly adorable.
Monroe Roberts, town misanthrope and divorcée, knocked “forever” permanently off her wish list ever since the love of her life skipped town with the cliché yoga instructor. And good riddance. She’s got this struggling diner to keep her busy, trying anything to boost sales…until a hot Australian strolls in and changes everything. Monroe’s restaurant is packed full of women who aren’t there to order food, unless Ethan is on the menu. This could sink her business faster than ever. So—light bulb—what if they pretend to be together?
It sounds like the perfect plan. Until they realize there is some very real chemistry in this fake relationship. But is it enough to heal two hearts that have been so deeply wounded?
Review
Monroe hasn't dated anyone since her ex-husband broke her heart and left town for good. She pretends to be okay, but she isn't. There is something missing; her passion is gone. Now all she wants is to run a diner in their small town and hope that it's enough. But everyone other than her knows she is fooling herself. She is meant to do something different and dream bigger.
Strangely, it takes an outsider to show her what's she truly made of. Ethan has come to Forever Falls hoping to find something, anything that will give him closure. He has lost his way, and that's how he ends up finding Monroe. The most amazing woman in the world. Unfortunately, he isn't the one she deserves, but that doesn't mean they can have a little fun.
Overall, it's a wonderful, heartwarming story about love and relationships. I absolutely loved every minute of it. It was such a difficult to put down kind of book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend it to all readers, especially those who enjoy a good contemporary romance.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
