No Plans to Fall

Honorable Mention- International Readers Favorite Award

Blurb

Marissa will do a lot for a free cookie, even go on a blind date.

Her date Scott smelled like cinnamon rolls and made her laugh. But even cookies have limited power. When Scott asked about a second date, Marissa knew it was time to bolt.

Marissa’s only relief is she lives hours away and can pretend this evening never happened—until she goes to work to find her job is under new management … suit wearing, cinnamon smelling, Scott management.

Scott’s future was carefully planned, and dating wasn’t included. At least not until he met Marissa. Her sunny smile made him question everything he thought he wanted, but there were some secrets that even the best cookie couldn’t fix.

Will these lost souls find love, or will all their plans get in the way?

No Plans to Fall-Is a sweet romance set in small-town Idaho. It’s full of quirky characters, fall vibes, flirty banter, and sweet kisses. It delves into mental health, positive relationships, and the power of love in unexpected places.

Editorial Reviews

"No Plans to Fall is a fun, sweet, romantic romp and yet it does have a serious side that will get readers thinking. Author Kiri Patterson has cleverly combined a simple, conversational style with some major character aspects that need addressing if either party to this potential romance is going to achieve any happiness. The story is developed from both Marissa's and Scott’s perspectives, with each succeeding chapter alternating between the characters' points of view. This gives a much broader scope as we can see and feel the innermost thoughts and feelings of both protagonists even if they are sometimes blindly obtuse to each other’s feelings. I enjoyed this aspect because when either Marissa or Scott did something or said something that changed the relationship, my immediate response was to wonder how the other partner reacted and what they would do about it. I loved that both characters had such deep-seated insecurities about themselves and that they came from very different environments. A good romance has always been one of my secret reading vices and what I loved about this story is that it is a wonderful romance but also has a thought-provoking subtext. This makes it stand out in the genre. I was pleased to read that a sequel is a real possibility and I want to read more about these lovely characters. I highly recommend this read." - 5 Stars Readers Favorite Review --Grant Leishman

Perfect amount of Fall Fun and Falling in Love

This book was full of not only wit, love, and Fall everything, but some real life issues that were handled with grace by the author and the characters that dealt with them. Absolutely loved reading Marissa and Scott's story. I loved their resilience as well as willingness and encouragement to give the other space to heal. Beautiful story
