**Spicy version**
The whole town’s falling for the famous Shirtless Chef. Even his fake girlfriend.

Bianca
Call me suspicious, but I know something’s up when my nonna’s former best friend shows up at our house for an extended stay with her adult grandson Giovanni. Nonna says we’re lucky they’re going to “help out” with our failing family farm for the fall. I don’t buy it. No man would abandon his life to play his grandmother’s vacation companion.

Is Giovanni gorgeous?
Yes.

Charming?
Yes, and he’s always cooking for us.

But he’s definitely hiding something, and one day at our pumpkin patch, I discover his
Giovanni was recently unmasked as the anonymous YouTube sensation known as The Shirtless Chef.

Everyone back home knows, so he left to escape the chaos.

Too bad the chaos follows him, and now I’m part of it.

Giovanni

I didn’t mean to kiss Bianca.

I definitely didn’t mean to kiss her in front of a photographer, but one stolen snap later, everyone’s insisting that I came to Apple Ridge for her.

I'm about to clear it up when she begs me not to—
The farm is failing, and a fake relationship with an accidental celebrity could solve her problems.

So I agree.

The next thing I know, I’m crowned the town’s Mr. October, Bianca and I are drowning in fall festivals, and I’m falling for a woman I know I’ll have to leave.


There are TWO different versions of this
1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
Please choose the version that's best for you!

 

My Thoughts:  Listening to the spicy version of Falling for Mr. October had me blushing and wanting more.   I enjoy spice and I enjoy closed door romance so I believe that I would have enjoyed either version. The spicy version was full of ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥. 

Falling for Mr. October is a great cozy fall romance.  The characters are fun with interesting lives.  Giovanni is protective and possessive enough to make my toes curl in anticipation of his next move while Bianca shows where she belongs from page one.   They are the perfect couple.  I love how much they care about the town and how they work together to set things in the right direction for the small town. 

Thank you Hambright PR for an audio copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
