Can't Help Falling in Love by Mariah Ankenman

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


Can't Help Falling in Love by Mariah Ankenman, book three in the Jackson Family Distillery series, is a humorous, heartwarming, and deeply emotional story that explores the challenges of being unidentified as having ADHD and the chaos it has on one’s life, as well as how loving someone with addiction effects a person.  


Charlie acts hardheaded and thick-skinned after having lost everything and everyone she ever loved; her way to protect her heart and hide her softer side. She is spontaneous and disorganized. After growing up angry after living with and dealing with an alcoholic father, Luc was forced into therapy. After being mentored by his therapist, he became one; currently at the hospital in town. From their awkward meet-cute, to Luc leading the anger management class Charlie was ordered to take, the chemistry and attraction between these two were evident. I adored these two together and the way they complemented each other; Luc helped Charlie find a bit of calmness while Charlie helped Luc remember the joy in spontaneity.

 

Ms. Ankenman wrote a humorous, charming, heartfelt, and endearing romance that I could not put down and should not be missed.  I laughed, teared up and smiled throughout the book. The things that Charlie and Luc had experienced in their lives and the obstacles that they had to go through before finding their HEA are heartbreaking and very relatable. They were perfect for each other; warming my heart watching their love and growth. This is an emotional tale rich with attraction, chemistry, clever banter, humor, and a wonderful cast of secondary characters, Charlie and Luc get the love and future they deserve. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

 💖💖💖💖💖/5 Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting is a college hockey romance between a super outgoing hockey star and an introverted girl who writes sizzling hot LoTR fanfic in her spare time.   Cammie Lovelock has a crush on Chase Lovett but has always felt invisible to the popular crowd. A fire in their dorm sends all the students to a nearby hotel until damages are repaired and she ends up rooming with her hockey crush Chase; thanks to having the gender neutral first name of Cameron. To make matters worse, there is only one bed. It might have accidently started with these two opposites rooming together, but it led to a wonderful, sizzling hot relationship; one where they are there for each other.   I loved the sibling and friend connections this book had to the Toronto Terror series. Getting glimpses of some of our favorite Terror characters was perfect. I can’t wait to see where this series goes ; especially to read Tally and Brody’s stories.   REA...
