I know I said that Faking the Fall by Julie Christianson was my favorite in the Sweater Weather series, and it still is. But A Not So Fictional Fall by Savannah Scott is totally tied for first place! I loved everything about this book. The premise is fantastic. I love the idea of a romance-loving reader falling for an author of romances. I appreciate that the hero (the author of said romances) and the heroine (the romance novel connoisseur) had a clear connection and some mighty BIG chemistry brewing before the whole marriage of convenience thing. This made it easy for me to buy into their marriage. I don’t usually like modern-day marriage of convenience stories because they tend not to be realistic or relatable, but Savannah Scott did this trope right. I really enjoyed watching Tasha and Pierre’s relationship grow and change from initial sparks of interest, to real friendship, to love. There were some good laughs along the way, too, and some seriously swoony, passion-filled kisses. WOWZERS, the kisses were good! My favorite thing about this story, though, was watching Pierre wake up to life and love. He had put his heart into hibernation-mode, but meeting Tasha wakes him up big time. It was fun seeing Tasha weave her way into his heart. And I really loved his protective streak. I love when a guy is protective over his girl. Pierre is the best! Everything about this story is the best!

A Not So Fictional Fall is a charming and endearing read I won’t soon forget. If you are a fan of sweet romances filled with excellently crafted characters then this is definitely the book for you!
