A Not So Fictional Fall + Giveaway

I live for happily ever afters.
And I’m finally meeting my favorite romance author in person!

Only, all this time, I thought author, Amelie De Pierre, was a woman.

It turns out, Pierre Toussaint is the man behind the books that make me weak in the knees. He could be the consummate book boyfriend with his dreamy hazel eyes, strong jawline, and those black-rimmed glasses. Not to mention that accent. Oh, that French accent. When Pierre speaks, I feel like I’m curled in his arms on a riverbank being fed chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Not Pierre’s arms, of course. We barely just met. And I’m just me. And he’s Pierre, internationally renowned romance author.

Seeing Pierre in person has me stammering and blushing—two things I don’t usually do.

Imagine my surprise when I receive a call a few weeks after meeting Pierre—from his agent—proposing marriage. Not that I’d marry his agent.

They want me to marry Pierre.

My Review:

bkboz;hyphyupww…this is the result of trying to type in a liquified state because I’ve swooned myself into an epic romantical meltdown and I’m not sure if my bones will solidify any time soon.

Because….THIS BOOK!!!!! Pierre!!! This book and Pierre and a rabid romance fiction fan and A MODERN DAY MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE. I can’t even…excuse me while I get my swoons out. Again.

Okay, I’ll try to be coherent now. If you’re looking for sweet perfection in a rom/com, ‘A Not So Fictional Fall’ is the way to go. I mean, even the title is creatively brilliant and teases at the scrumptious nuances of the story inside. From the delightfully awkward meet-cute to the the way the marriage of convenience comes about — happy, happy sigh….I have no words.

Well, maybe a few. Funny. Heartwarming. Compelling. The kind of book you want to race through but force yourself to hang back and savor every delicious moment. Excellent pacing — love the way the romance gradually develops between Pierre and Tasha. So many swoonworthy moments and when we get to those toe-curling kisses, well, my toes may be permanently crimped.

And, as if the storytelling wasn’t enough to captivate me, the dual narration of the audio book sent my bibliophile heart soaring ever higher! Amanda Friday and Tyler Hyrchuk gave brilliant performances. The way they brought every facet of Pierre and Tasha to life — from the teasing moments to the introspective ones, not to mention the sarcastically funny ones. Made for an incredibly entertaining ‘read’. Highly, highly recommend the audio edition of this book.

My thanks to the author and Net Galley for providing me with an audio edition of this book.

  4. I enjoyed this one too, but in usual backwards mode I read the sequel, He’s So Not My Valentine first. I enjoyed it but realized there was backstory I was missing so of course I backtracked and read A Not So Fictional Fall. Then it all made perfect sense.

    Savannah Scott is a new to me author so I was able to add her to my goal list of new authors 🙂

    1. She’s a new to me author too, Tracey. And, like you, I read (well listened to) He’s So Not My Valentine first! It was fun to see the backstory for that novel teased in this one. Great minds read alike and all that. 🙂

  7. To be really honest I don’t think I would’ve picked this book up to read if I hadn’t read your review. You just have a way of saying the right things to make it sound really interesting.

  12. Your review on “A Not So Fictional Fall” has me already getting my swoon worthy things together – fainting couch, luxury throw, bonbons, something bubbly to drink and a great big box of tissues. I also added it to my TBR list. Can’t wait to get gobsmacked romantically! 🙂

    Thank you for the wonderful chance to win a copy!

    1. Oh wow! Marriage of Convenience stories are a staple in historical romance but it’s fun to see how an author can realistically (more or less) work it into a contemporary romance. Good luck, Rebecca!
