Falling Fast: An opposites attract, billionaire, instalove, steamy small town romance novella (Westmount Island Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Julia Jarrett (Author), CM Wheary (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 241 ratings

What if love at first sight was real?

ELLA

I fell in love on a ferry.

Sounds like the headline for a cheesy made-for-tv movie, doesn’t it? But for me, Ella Michaels from Westmount Island, it’s the truth. Marcus is nothing like me. He’s confident, bold, sexy, and oh, did I mention he’s a millionaire? And for some reason, he’s apparently crazy about me. Even though most of my friends are from the books that I read and I can’t use a real swear word without sweating. But the island is my home, and he’s a big city billionaire. What happens when his visit is over?

MARCUS

I did not want to come to this island. I definitely did not want to enjoy small-town life. I absolutely did not want to fall for a woman who puts Disney princesses to shame with her beauty and heart. But that’s exactly what happened the second I met Ella. She’s the calm to my storm and she’s making me re-evaluate what’s really important in life. It turns out, the answer to that isn’t money or success. It’s love. How do I prove to her that our lives may be very different, but I’ll do whatever it takes to be with her?

    3.0 out of 5 stars Ok.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2023

    Says it's 86 pages. The story took place over a couple weeks.

    The h is a kindergarten teacher who uses food words instead of
    curse words. She's 27 years old and gets nervous a lot.

    The H is traveling to the island to decide if he wants to help build a new resort there. He's successful business owner and a
    multi-millionaire.

    There's an instant attraction, connection, and lust as soon as they meet. This is pretty much an insta-love story because they start thinking the "L" word within the first day of meeting.

    "Somehow, this captivating woman in front of me has awakened
    a part of me I didn’t know existed. The part that longs for a wife 
    and family, for a home filled with love and laughter, for a life that is dictated by more than just business and work."

    Overall, it was a cute short story. The problem with short stories is it doesn't really give you time to connect with the characters and/or make you invested in their stories. It's good enough to read once if you have a couple hours to spare.

    Ella lives on the island and is heading home from a weekend with friends in the mainland. It's quite windy and her hair is blowing all over when a handsome man hands her a rubber band. Marcus is heading to the island to scope out a new development project. He never expected to find the woman of his dreams. He wasn't even looking. Can these two opposites make it work forever?

    Ella Michaels and Marcus Ryder were adorable!

    "You should be a stranger...instead you feel like someone I've been waiting for my whole life."

    This was a such a fab, feel-good read. I enjoyed the fast fall into love between Ella and Marcus. There was instant attraction, instant connection, and plenty of steam. No real drama and a satisfying resolution. Thoroughly enjoyed this novella!

    I was given this arc by the author in return for an honest review, all thoughts are my own.

    What a great little novella, this story was sweet, fast and dirty with a great small town setting thrown in.

    ❤ Small town
    ❤ Insta love
    ❤ Chemistry

    I really loved meeting this pair, they had such an instant connection and just a great easy relationship. Loved Westmount Island and really looking forward to seeing more of it.

    Love that even though it was a novella and can be read in just over an hour, we really got a lot of story with it.

    Great read and looking forward to book 2 in this series.
