Fall at Once by Nora EverlyMy Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
Alas, another two-star review for this series. I tried another book figuring that same world/different author could be an improvement, but maybe this collection of authors just isn't my jam.
Having been immersed in Cozy Creek, the stories all seem to be formatted Hallmark-style. Namely a cast of characters lacking any diversity exist in a picture-perfect small town where no one has had an independent, unreported by the town crier, thought...ever. Big city woman who just needs the right man to have her give up her life to trad-wife for some guy enters, creates moderate chaos then all ends well.
This particular tale relied a little too heavily on the imposter-syndrome-hero meets quirky-woman who is not like anyone else in town (despite being a local in her youth). Meddling Grandmas, absentee fathers, critical moms, big public confrontations where villain archetypes do cliched things and "crazy" ex-wives abound. Now I don't mind some fluff in my romance, but this could have been any standard made for TV script.
It may be time for me to abandon this series, though I am sure it is someone's perfect set of romances.
