Title: Fall into Place
Author: Kristyn J. Miller
Genre: Romance
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Lenore’s life is falling apart. Propelled home from Manhattan to rural Vermont to spend one final autumn at her family’s historic apple orchard before it’s sold, Lenore struggles to say goodbye. Not only to French Hill Farm, but to everything that once inspired her art. Soon enough, entries in her late grandmother’s journal reignite memories of Lenore’s childhood—and the crush on the groundskeeper’s son she’s since tried to forget.
Callan’s path has been laid out for him for as long as he can remember: live, work, and die in Whitbury, Vermont. He’s taken over for his father as the groundskeeper at French Hill Farm, but now that it’s soon to be sold, his future has turned abruptly uncertain. The last thing he needs is a distraction—like Lenore French showing up out of the blue, looking even better than he remembered. As his best friend’s little sister, she’s always been off limits, and the last time they saw each other, he blew his chance anyway.
Lenore has long believed that her dreams are too big for the small town she grew up in—the same town Callan believes he can never outrun. But one last autumn together could paint their hometown—and each other—in a brand new light.
This was an okay read but didn’t surprise me any. What can I say? Big city girl comes back home and falls for the small town boy she always had a crush on? Yep, check. Her brother’s best friend. Check. A secret inheritance (of sorts). Check. Not a bad read, just, not a creative one.
Kristyn J. Miller lives in Maine. Fall Into Place is her newest novel.
