Review: Falling for You

Falling for You

"Famously beautiful model Willow Bradford is taking a temporary break from her hectic schedule to work as the innkeeper at her family's small-town bed-and-breakfast. She was enjoying the peace of her hometown, Merryweather, Washington, right up until she came face-to-face with Corbin Stewart, the man she loves to hate. A thoughtful rule-follower by nature, Willow threw caution to the wind four years ago when she entrusted her heart to Corbin--and suffered the consequences when it all fell apart.

Former NFL quarterback Corbin is forceful, charming, and accustomed to getting what he wants . . . except where Willow Bradford is concerned. Unable to forget her, he's never stopped regretting what happened between them. When their paths unexpectedly cross again, he's determined to make her give him a second chance.

When a decades-old missing persons case finds Corbin and Willow working together, they're forced to confront their past and who they've become--and whether they can risk falling for one another all over again."

Sparks fly between old flames

I really enjoyed getting to know the Bradford sisters in book 1, and was really looking forward to reading Willow's story. (Especially when old sparks starting flying when we met Corbin)

The "mainstreamyness"  (yes I KNOW this is not what one would call a "real" word, but it works) of this book did start to bother me a bit. There was a bit of content that, until the end of the book, I felt was touch and go. 
IN THE END it ALL made sense though, like puzzle pieces fitting together perfectly. This was a story FULL of redemption, second chances and God's grace. 

There was a lot of anger burning between Corbin & Willow for things that had happened in the past. It took them a while (it felt like an eternity) to forgive each other and let go. Story line wise the time it took to get over the past was realistic, I'm just SUPER impatient. 😅

Both Corbin & Willow were hurting and felt different levels of guilt for their past. 
Willow let her "pedigree" affect how she saw herself and how she felt others saw her.
Corbin let his "growing up years" affect how he saw relationships.
FINALLY God was able to knock some sense into them and they realized they were not defined by their past or their parents. God was the only one who mattered.

I picked up on the little quirks Willow had. (Nora also had cute quirks) I'm excited to see if the vein is kept up. (What quirks will Britt have?!?!) I LOVED the sister bond!! Even though they are all half sisters they love each other with their WHOLE hearts!! 
The banter in the book was great, love when there is good dialogue. (Makes or breaks a book)

The subplot & side characters were really fun to see unfold and blossom. Becky has a great way of adding history in a modern, exiting way! 

Becky kept me flipping pages even when I wanted to set it down, she kept me guessing and she threw some crazy curve balls!
I rated this a 4/5 stars. I seriously CANNOT wait for book 3!!
