Book Review: Can’t Help Falling in Love by Sophie Sullivan

A struggling waitress and the heir to a major Seattle company stumble into a high-profile fake engagement while simultaneously trying to keep up with their own love lives in Can’t Help Falling in Love, a flirty fall rom-com by author Sophie Sullivan!

Can’t Help Falling in Love

Lexi Danby is looking for some no-strings, fall fun. Once a college track star, she was forced to drop out when her father passed away. Now she’s trying to make ends meet while putting herself through school and caring for her grieving mother. When her comically bad waitressing lands her directly in the path of a handsome, charming stranger named Will, Lexi may just have found the distraction she’s been looking for. Their first date looks promising until a misunderstanding at a party thrusts Lexi and Will into a fake engagement they can’t talk themselves out of. And Will turns out to be a member of Seattle royalty.

Will Grand is heir to a major company, and Seattle’s most eligible bachelor. But he’s been placed in charge of an important merger with a company that values family above all else, and needs to show them that he’s settled down. While a fake engagement is advantageous from a business standpoint, it’s not so great for a budding relationship with a woman who’s wary of commitment. With a woman who Will is beginning to care about much more than he could have anticipated.

As Lexi gets a taste of Will’s glamorous world and the pair keeps up the pretense of their fake engagement for the press, they decide to see where a more casual relationship takes them out of the spotlight. And amid apple picking in comfy flannels, outdoor breweries in the crisp air, and fun Halloween preparations, Lexi starts to realize the scariest part of the season might just be taking a chance on love.

Book Review

I received an advance review copy from @stmartinspress on @netgalley for my honest review.

Can’t Help Falling in Love by Sophie Sullivan is the perfect binge-read for fall! I couldn’t put it down from the moment Lexi and Will’s lives collided in this charming, flirty rom-com. The story beautifully captures the cozy vibes of autumn, with apple picking, outdoor breweries, and Halloween fun adding a delightful seasonal touch.

Lexi, a struggling waitress with a lot on her plate, unexpectedly finds herself in a fake engagement with Will, Seattle’s most eligible bachelor. Their chemistry is undeniable, and what starts as a pretense quickly turns into something more as they navigate the challenges of his high-profile life and her wariness of commitment. A quick note to readers, this sweet story deals with parental loss and as someone who has dealt with that in the past couple of years, I always appreciate knowing that up front.

This book is an absolute joy to read, especially for this fall. If you’re looking for a romantic, feel-good story with all the right autumnal touches, Can’t Help Falling in Love is a must-read. Highly recommended—available September 17th!
