This book had me from the moment I read there was a friendship from their younger years that is now coming back into play. I am a sucker for the whole old friends that never admitted their love finding each other again as adults !! Lo has so many life struggles going on at this point in her life. Her parents have both died , her business is suffering , she has a horrible step mother screwing her relationship is is struggling from it all. So of course in walks the 1 guy that 7 years ago as a boy took off on her when she needed him the most. Parker is helping his aunt and uncle for the weekend and ends up in the presence of the one woman that he has loved for 7 years despite having walked away from her. He has become a famous poker player and playboy galore , but one look at Lo has him questioning it all.Can he get her to be his once and for all ?The chemistry between Lo and Parker is phenomenal , Lo soon realizes that her sex life is dull and she may have more feelings for Parker than she wants to admit. When her fiance Jake confronts her about all the issues they have been having she thinks they can work it through , but Jake has decided he wants her to sell The Grand and move with him to Tennessee for his new job. Lo wants no part of that so she ends things and accepts a crazy "job" from her fathers lawyer that includes a trip to Vegas and days and days of Parker.I loved every minute of this book and was thrilled with how it ended. I am very suspicious of Jake and Barry is just weird. But in the end they have Lo flying to Parker so I am ok with that !!Ready for book 2 !! I received a copy to this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.Great start to a new series. Lauren, Lo, is trying to save her family inn from a vindictive, money hungry stepmother. Parker is a womanizing professional gambler. They grew up together. Life events have caused them to grow apart. Now they’re back together, but can they put aside their pasts to start a new future?This was a very emotionally charged book. I wasn’t sure if I liked Parker or not. I’m still not sure. He is definitely broken. Lo is a very determined young woman. She’ll do anything to keep the Grandview Inn. It’s all she has left of her parents. The twist at the end totally threw me. I didn’t see it coming. This was a novella, it was a fast read. It was well written and easy to read. Their were some instances that confused me. Especially during Lo’s interactions with Jake. I would have liked more background on all the characters and hope to get that in future books. Overall, a great start. 4-bombs.
What do You think about Just Fall (2013)?
