Book Description:
She only meant to drop off a letter. She found a family instead. This fall romance from Denise Hunter is perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Hallmark movies.
Gabby Donaldson’s late mother left her with one final task: deliver a letter to her estranged mother. Once Gabby fulfills her mom’s deathbed promise, she’ll leave behind the grandmother she never knew and return to her carefully constructed life in the city. With a fulfilling career as a jewelry designer, she’s convinced she doesn’t need roots to feel whole.
But locating Rosemary proves more complicated than expected. And when journalist–and single dad–Mason Morrison offers help in exchange for telling her story, Gabby agrees. The arrangement seems simple enough: he gets the human-interest piece that could be his big break, and she gets to fulfill her mother’s final wish.
What neither anticipates is how quickly professional boundaries blur. As Gabby is drawn into Mason’s world–and the life he’s built with his precocious twelve-year-old daughter–Gibson begins to feel less like a stopover and more like home.
Yet the past has a way of complicating the present. If Gabby uncovers the truth about her family, will it free her to move forward–or make leaving impossible? And when the story is finally written, will she return to the life she planned . . . or risk falling into one she never saw coming?
Curl up with Falling Into Us for a sweet, slow-burn romance filled with unexpected family, small-town warmth, and the kind of love that feels a lot like coming home.
Narelle’s Thoughts:
I enjoyed reading Falling Into Us, a charming contemporary romance set in a picturesque North Carolina mountain town. Gabby is a jewellery designer who’s grieving the unexpected loss of her beloved mother. She’s on a mission to deliver a letter from her late mother to the grandmother she has never met.
Mason is a journalist and single dad who owns a cabin located next to the family pumpkin farm. He rents the cabin to Gabby and discovers she’s living the human interest story he needs to secure a work promotion.
The estranged grandmother mystery draws Gabby and Mason together and a delightful romance unfolds. They’re both dealing with emotional baggage including trust issues and grieving the loss of loved ones. Mason is managing the challenges of parenting his twelve year old daughter. I loved the story ending and the resolution to the mystery.
I recommend Falling Into Us to contemporary romance readers who like small town single dad romances with characters from different worlds, an intriguing mystery, family drama, found family, and relevant faith elements including forgiveness themes.
