Falling into Place
Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the digital review copy in advance. This one hits shelves on August 19th.
I remember picking up Would You Rather by Allison Ashley back in 2022 and laughing on page one. I also remember how refreshing it was to read a romance that was funny, emotional, and swoon-worthy that managed to keep all the bedroom scenes, well, behind the bedroom door. Falling Into Place is the same.
Loosely connected to her earlier release this year, If Tomorrow Never Comes, this rom-com follows Carly Porter who has moved back to Oklahoma City to pursue her dreams in fashion. She’s working part-time as a personal stylist while keeping her dependable day job as an accountant. Carly’s best friend, Sasha, runs a local style and entertainment publication/guide to the city. As its numbers decrease, Sasha comes up with to get her handsome doctor brother, Brooks, to get back out there with online dating while visiting OKC’s hot spots and writing about them to save the magazine. Who should get him styled and ready for the adventure? Of course, Carly. The problem? Carly and Brooks have chemistry they can’t deny.
Read this if you love:
banter
lighthearted romance with a serious side
subtly strong personalities
2 quiet, but not shy main characters
some heartfelt sibling interactions

There are no on-page descriptive scenes in this one, but there is some build-up that fades to black.
