Book Review: Falling for the Bostonian

Title: Falling for the Bostonian

Author: Emily Dana Botrous

Date: 2020

Quote: "She'd...[h]ad no thoughts of finding a man in a big city."

Last year this web site raved over The Miracle of Mistletoe, in which a married couple resolve their conflicts and fall in love all over again. Should a romance be about how a couple get married in the first place? I think romances where the couple are already married are nice, but the question gives writers ideas. Here is the short novel, first published as three short stories, of how Marcy went to Boston to forget her emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend Tyler (who harasses her in Mistletoe) and met a great gorgeous hunk of exotic DNA who was a Christian, too. 

It's a sweet novel, explicit about how Colt and Marcy force themselves to stop at kissing until they're legally married and how Marcy wants that body so much she doesn't even hold out for a wedding her friends and relatives can attend, but those details imply passion and, yes, there's some explicit mention of passion too. 

I like it; I'd expect that most romance readers will like it.
