About this ebook

FALLING FOR YOU
 
Former pro-snowboarder Ben Healy has always sensed when to call it quits. He knew when to give up Olympic dreams and settle for lucrative sponsorship deals. He knew when his competition days were ending. And with Colleen Ridge, he knew that something so good couldn’t possibly last. Rather than wait until Colleen realized she deserved better, he pushed her away. Only now, thanks to her grandmother’s finagling, they’re back in the same town.
 
Four years should be long enough to forget someone. But the summer she and Ben spent together is imprinted in Colleen’s soul. While sorting out her grandmother’s estate, Colleen confronts shocking truths about her past. Ben is right by her side, determined to help. And loving him again could be another collision with heartache, or the best mistake Colleen ever made…

    Another excellent contemporary roman from Kathleen Gilles Seidel. I always like how she writes characters. They feel like real people that I would like to know -- most of them. They act in ways that I can understand. She does great with the backstories even in a short spice. If there is a sequel I would like to read it but I doubt there will be because all three snowboarders have books. But there is still the mysterious Lailah.

    Autumn’s Child by Kathleen Gilles-SeidelStand ingTall #3Slow beginning that almost had me give up on the book but knowing that I have enjoyed this author’s books in the past I plugged on. With more than one thread to the story it was a bit of a puzzle about who Autumn even was till much further into the book. There was the sort-of romance and second chance for Ben and Colleen to achieve a HEA. There was the issues of inheritance and some getting more than others. There was the issue of family and adoption and blood. There was a huge media circus with crazies running around. There were friends that came to visit. For some reason I just could not get into this book and really had trouble relating to the characters. I did not see what Colleen and Ben saw in one another or why she was still interested in him as to me he seemed rather selfish. Anyway, I did finish the book but do have to say that I much prefer other books that I have read by this author. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Lyrical Shine for the ARC – This is my honest review.2-3 Stars
