To the small town of Landmark Mountain, Callum Landmark is a man of few words and considered to be the family grump. Uninvited and unexpected, I crash into his world like a wrecking ball and disrupt the delicate balance of his carefully constructed existence.
Forced to live together due to my life’s unexpected adventure, I find that the more time I spend with him, the more I see beneath his impenetrable exterior and into the heart of the man that not many are privileged to witness.
And against all odds, that vulnerability draws me in, tugging at the strings of my heart with an undeniable force. Coupled with his love for animals—nothing could be more charming than to watch this sexy, rugged rancher and animal whisperer at work.
But our connection is forged at the worst possible timing. I’m running from past mistakes, and meeting Callum has me jumping headfirst into a whirlwind of new complications. Yet, I can’t resist his allure and the sizzling tension between us.
As I navigate the twists and turns of my new life in this quaint town, I can’t help but wonder if falling for Callum might be the most unpredictable adventure of all.
Falling is book four in the standalone Landmark Mountain series.
Review
“I never knew how it felt to be loved like this.”
5 swoon-filled stars!
The fourth book in the Landmark Mountain series, this is a beautifully romantic grumpy/sunshine, (not-so-forced) close proximity romance that is sweet, sexy and swoony with all the feels. Callum and Ruby’s story absolutely stole my heart, and I loved this book so much!
Callum is the quiet member of the Landmark family. A dairy farmer with a soft spot for his animals, he does have grumpy loner tendencies but he’s a sweet man with a heart of gold, he just prefers to keep to himself.
Ruby is on the run from a disastrous near-miss wedding, and she’s escaping to the small town of Landmark Mountain when she runs into trouble. It’s Callum that comes to her rescue, and being the big-hearted guy that he is, he gives her a place to stay in the middle of a snowstorm, having no idea just how significantly she is about to upend his life.
OMG, the chemistry between these two is sizzling! Their attraction is strong from the beginning, but they keep their distance, staying friendly, caring for their animals, and getting to know each other in a way they haven’t opened up to anybody else in years. The grow comfortable with each other, and as they settle in together, they can’t hide their growing attraction.
He sets the mug down and has a ring of whipped cream over his top lip.
I don’t know what comes over me.
He just looks so unbelievably cute.
I lean over and wipe the whipped cream off with my thumb and then lick it clean. His eyes dilate, his tongue coming out to swipe over his lips.
“I just forget everything thought I’ve ever had,” he says gruffly.
The emotion is beautiful, and their coming together is fun, sexy and sweet. They are so open and honest with each other about everything, and we get to see a vulnerability to Callum that is completely irresistible. I loved seeing them come together!
“I don’t want you to regret me, Ruby.”
“That would never, ever happen.”
They fall hard, fast, and completely, and I was swept up in a world of swoon. They hold nothing back and dive on in with hearts wide open, and OMG, it’s so, so beautiful!
“When it comes to you, I think the only thing that could scare me is if you weren’t feeling the same way as I am, which is something so fucking big, I can’t put it into words.”
There are some surprises in store with these two, and I was right there with them through all of it, loving every moment. There is some drama, but it’s realistic to their situation and works to show the strength of their connection while bringing some intensity to the story.
“What I’m feeling is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. It might be crazy, but if it is, I want to fall back into it and let it carry me away.”
Callum’s family are a big part of the story. I loved seeing them again, and loved watching them welcome Ruby into the fold, while they all eagerly watch the relationship with great interest and lots of teasing. It’s so entertaining seeing them all together, and I’m loving this series so much.
Such a beautiful, emotional love story, I adored every moment.
5 stars!
