Don't miss the first trip to Moose Falls, Alaska where a down-on-his-luck football player and a sassy restaurant owner find themselves going from enemies to lovers in this small-town romance — perfect for fans of Brenda Novak and Annie Rains!
A small-town restaurateur and a big city former football player go head-to-head in this heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance . . .
As the oldest of three brothers, former pro-football player Xavier Stone is no stranger to making tough calls. Like returning to his small hometown of Moose Falls, Alaska to help run his grandmother’s hard cider company and gastro pub. He agrees to keep an open mind, but between working with his estranged father and confronting heavy childhood memories with his brothers, Xavier’s ready to rush back to civilization. Even the stunning woman who runs his grandmother’s restaurant seems to instantly dislike him . . .
True Everett knows better than to let a ridiculously handsome man distract her, especially when it’s the same guy who stands between her and owning Northern Exposure, the tavern she manages. She didn’t pour her soul into the restaurant just for Xavier to swoop in and snatch away her dreams. But amid all the barbs—and, fine . . . all the sparks—flying, True glimpses the man beneath the swagger. That version of Xavier, the real one, might just steal True’s heart.
MY THOUGHTS.....
This is a fantastic love story, but it isn't just about romantic love. Author Belle Calhoune explores the family love and devotion between the Stone brothers and their grandmother Hattie, and there's also another strong family bond shared by True Everett and her younger brother. Both Xavier and True have been a part of family units that have been torn apart and they each carry scars from their pain. They've also known the disappointment of failed romantic relationships. Could these common losses be the foundation for a lasting gain?
Calhoune is an author who never disappoints! Well-defined characters, realistic plot developments, and beautiful settings are guaranteed, but we must never forget the romance. True and Xavier share a wonderful chemistry and some of the scenes are swoon-worthy, to say the least, but never fear, "Falling for Alaska" is a clean romance!
I loved this heartwarming contemporary romance that's filled with family, hope, and second chances. I look forward to returning to Moose Falls, Alaska!
