Slow burn Pining Dislike to Friends to Lovers I buddy read this one with one of my favorite book pals Averie (Averie loves books). This is my fourth book I've read by Cara Bastone and it's official she's one of my favorite authors. I adore her writing and her stories are so genuine and romantic. Her ability to gradually build a relationship between two characters is so well done. Everything I've read by her has been delightful and brings me so much joy. Serafine and Tyler's story is so beautifu...
Bastone is as much at the top of her romance-game in Can’t Help Falling as she was in Just a Heartbeat Away. I may have enjoyed the latter a smidgen more than the former, but it doesn’t stop Can’t Help Falling from being one of the best romances I’ve read this year.Falling picks up where Heartbeat leaves off and includes lovely cameos from the first romance’s hero and heroine, hero’s son and pooch, Seb, Via, Matty, and Crabby. While Heartbeat tells Seb and Via’s romance, Falling is about the roa...
I have been having a delightful time binging this series and while this wasn’t as amazing as book 1 for me, I still really enjoyed this installment in the series. Tyler and Serafina we meet in the previous book, both are best friends to the hero & heroine of that book, and Tyler immediately felt sparks for Fin when he met her in that book. The beginning of this story opens up with him asking her on a date and getting shot down and kind of told off at the same time. Fin is trying to be a foster p...
I loved the first full-length novel in Cara Bastone’s Forever Yours series, Just a Heartbeat Away, which featured a widowed single dad and a teacher. In that story, secondary characters Serafine St. Romain and Tyler Leshuski were introduced as friends of the heroine and hero respectively, and seemed to clash at every turn. So it’s only fitting that the next story in the series is theirs, a classic enemies-to-lovers story, though one with a rather unconventional heroine. While Can’t Help Falling
I very much liked this installment, if not quite as much as the first one. I struggled a bit as a reader to get past the early confrontation at the baseball game. It WAS cruel and I'm glad the book acknowledged that. I also liked how little romance progression actually took place which feels like a weird sentence to write about a romance novel, but both characters had so much growing and forgiving to do and I felt like the pre-work was really necessary. Excellent use of a teenager as well. This
4.25 starsI read some reviews that people like the first book better than this one... I am completely the other way around. I LOVED this better than Just a Heartbeat Away because Seb aggravated me a bit with his hang-ups on the age gap between himself and Via. In here, I wasn't annoyed with either Tyler or Fin. In fact, I loved both characters BECAUSE they had some growing up process to do. Tyler needed to mature up (in a way) and taking his own version of responsibility because he kind of being...
4.5/5Having loved Cara Bastone's debut novel, Just A Heartbeat Away, one of my favorite romance novels of 2020, I was excited to pick up the next book in the companion series. Can't Help Falling was just as brilliant as the first book and I can candidly say that Cara Bastone is up there for me in my list of favorite authors.We saw the relationship between Serafine and Tyler bud in the first book, but it's not necessary for you to read that book before you pick Can't Help Falling. I was eager to
4.25 StarsMs Bastone did a phenomenal job of developing Fin and Tyler. Yes, I originally had a problem with the things Fin said at the baseball game, but I was so happy when the author made sure that it was explained later on in the book. I enjoyed reading about this slow building relationship from beginning to end and add in the relationship Tyler had with Kylie.
Truly, Cara Bastone is a wizard. When I discovered that main character Serafine was determined to be a foster parent, no matter what, and Tyler with the loafers and ironed shirts and pressed trousers never wanted to be a father or have a family, I was concernedTM. BUT trust the this author to make me so fully invested in this romance that I couldn't stop reading it until I got to their beautiful HFN. I do so love an opposites attract, and Fin with her clairvoyance, her crystals, and her reading
*4.5/5 stars(Buddy read with Zae @WhittyReads)This was so good!! I feel like Cara Bastone is becoming one of my new all-time favorite authors! I absolutely adore her writing and her ability to craft organic slow burn romances.Found family is one of my favorite things to read about in books, and I love how the heroine, the hero, and the hero's sister become a family. The three of them did not have anyone to call family before and how they do! It was so beautiful to read about.I also love the dyna...
I really liked how Tyler was dumbstruck by Serafine in the first book, was really looking forward to this one when I realized it would be about him. Then the baseball game happened and damn...Serafine cut Tyler to the core in her saying no to Tyler, it was harsh and cruel, seemed out of character for her. I also hated how it seemed to throw Tyler into a bit of a tail spin, avoiding Seb and Matty. Things changed for Tyler when he received a call that his sister needed him and Tyler had to stop th...
I really, really, really liked this book. Did I love it as much as book one? No. But it was another excellent addition to the series. Cara Bastone's writing blows me away. The not-quite-enemies to not-quite-friends to lovers trope was well explored and realistic. Bastone has a way of digging into the heart and emotions of her characters and readers at the same time. I thought Fin's profession and sixth sense was handled extremely well. I wish Tyler and Fin had discussed the child/foster thing mo...
