I was SO excited to get to meet the darling Lyra Parish on her book tour for Fall I Want! Lyra’s books are a combination of cozy and spicy- which is just what you want, especially in a fall themed story! She was so funny and so sweet, and it was an absolute joy to chat with her. 

Lyra Parish is crushing it in the billionaire romance game! Lyra has so many books to read, and I’m loving reading through her backlist now. Her books include: Bless Your Heart, Spill The Sweet Tea, Butter My Biscuit, Fixing to be Mine, Holding Your Horses, The Wife Situation, The Friend Situation, The Boss Situation, The Bodyguard Situation, The Hookup Situation, The Hockey Situation, The Royal Situation, A Very Merry Mistake, A Very Merry Nanny, A Very Merry Enemy, and Fall I Want.

Thanks to Books By The Bay in La Porte, Texas for hosting this fun event!! It was my first time in their adorable store and it definitely won’t be my last. The vibes were so perfect and I enjoyed every minute! 

Summary for Fall I Want:

Fall I Want is a feel-good, spicy small-town, romantic comedy with a billionaire who falls first and harder. Grab a pumpkin spice latte, a warm fuzzy blanket, and make your way down to Cozy Creek.

Autumn

The brokenhearted billionaire visits Cozy Creek to escape. I never expected to become his fake girlfriend or fall madly in love…but here we are.

My first impression of Zane Alexander isn’t great. The second is worse, but when he uses his powers of persuasion to get me to hang out with him, I can’t say no. We quickly go from familiar strangers to flirty friends.

When my ex returns, Zane flawlessly pretends to be my boyfriend to protect me. He’s so damn good at it, I almost believe it.

I don’t know when our relationship moves from pretending to passionate, but I catch feelings. As our exes desperately crawl back into our lives like zombies, I realize there is only one man for me, and (f)all I want is him.

Zane

Everything changes the moment I see her. Autumn’s enchanting gaze makes my heart race, so I push her away to protect myself. Immediately, I regret it. But when I find her standing in my haunted house, I convince her to be my friend. She begrudgingly agrees.

As the leaves transform and Cozy Creek’s fall festivities come alive, our playful charade blossoms into something more.

The lines between real and pretend begin to blur, and I find myself falling under her spell.

I should keep my broken heart in check, but instead, I fight for love that feels like magic.

This woman is all I’ve ever needed and (f)all I want.
