My Forever Love - Aspen returns to Winter Falls when fire destroys her business in Dallas. There she reconnects with her wacky sisters and the love of her life Lyric, who is now the Police Chief. Their chemistry is still there but both are wary of acting on it as they both hurt each other before. With some good intentioned meddling and hilarious escapades along the way they find their way back to each other in this over the top environmentally conscious small town.
Forever For You - Another hot and fun read about these many quirky characters in this over environmentally friendly small town. This story follows Ashlyn, who crushed on Rowan as a teenager. When she returns from college, Rowan fights his attraction to Ashlyn having already had one failed marriage. Rowan also feels he can't have a relationship with any woman. Ashlyn and her many sisters plot to change his mind.
Just For Forever - The funniest in this series yet. Ellery has a one night stand with one of her inn guests. Something she never normally does. This leaves her with a more permanent problem. Cole is going to be in Winter Falls for two years and wants more than the one night he has already had with Ellery. With some help from her sisters, the other small town busy bodies and Cole himself, Ellery is persuaded to give Cole a chance.
Stay For Forever - Another very fun read in this lovely series. Animal loving Juniper this time trying to resist her movie star boss, Maverick, at the Wildlife Refuge in Winter Falls. But as ever, her sisters and the wonderful Gossip Gals push to get them back together. Juniper still struggles with Mav's involvement with his leading ladies. However, a grand gesture on a prime time show persuades her that he is the one for her.
Only Forever - I wasn't sure how I could warm to literal Lilac having found her annoying in the previous books in this series. But we were shown a different side to her in this story and I ended up loving her and her boss, the ever patient Beckett. Lilac doesn't break rules so a relationship with Beckett is impossible despite how hot they are for each other. However, the West sisters, Beckett's sisters and the elderly Gossip gals intervene to make sure Lilac and Beckett end up together.

Cute little series with fun characters, quirky town and a tiny bit of spice. The animal and environment loving people of Winter Falls will keep you laughing for sure. The sisters and their parents are great characters and are well written.

The Winter Falls Collection is a real treat. I have rarely, if ever, laughed so much while reading a small town series! You just have to love the West sisters with their unique personalities. And the small town of Winter Falls would definitely be worth a trip ... if it existed!
This collection is one of the best small town series I've ever read!


MY FOREVER LOVE
Lyric and Aspen's second chance romance is one of the funniest stories I've read to date. There isn't a page where I haven't giggled like a pubescent girl, not a chapter where I haven't laughed out loud or stifled a fit of laughter to avoid questioning looks from those around me ...
These two main characters are so endearing that I can't even tell you how much I love them because I'm at a loss for words. Their story is heartwarming and beautifully written and leaves you wanting more of them, which is provided in three bonus scenes.
I quickly fell in love with Lyric and Aspen, as well as the whole town and its quirky citizens. I only wish they were all real so I could stop by and visit them, lol.


FOREVER FOR YOU
Rowan and Ashley's story almost drove me mad. This constant back and forth, this denial of feelings, these preconceived ideas almost drove me out of my mind. I would have loved to give both protagonists a good shake, put them in a room together, lock them up and throw away the key until they put everything on the table and cleared the air, lol. On the other hand, these two are so perfect for each other that the swoon factor is extremely high.
This story, just like the first book in the series, had me giggling and laughing, which is exactly what I need right now. The residents of Winter Falls are a bunch of lovable gossips. And the interactions with them, as well as the West sisters' interactions with each other, are just hilarious and absolutely priceless.
I love this book and this fantastic series to pieces, and am already excited for book three!


JUST FOR FOREVER
Cole and Ellery's story is the next stroke of genius in this phenomenal series. It exploded with sparks because of their instant attraction. It's just as funny and hilarious as the previous books in the series, with the ever meddling citizens of Winter Falls. However, the two protagonists drove me nuts with their back and forth and almost gave me whiplash with their interactions. I loved how Cole stood up for his love and how he proved time and time again that he was the right partner for Ellery. I also loved what a strong and independent character Ellery is, she's really inspiring. Plus, she made me laugh out loud time and time again with her grumbling, grousing and evasive tactics.
I devoured the book from the first page to the last, and once again I find it hard to let go of these great characters.


STAY FOR FOREVER
Maverick and Juniper's story is the next highlight in this phenomenal series that gets even better with each new book.
Their story is so, so much fun. I laughed out loud so many times I've lost count, I smirked, I giggled .... in short, I enjoyed and loved this book so hard! Juniper's inner monologues and pep talks are just the best!
I am in love, love, love with this couple, with the West sisters and their significant others, and with the quirky residents of Winter Falls.


ONLY FOREVER
Holy mackerel! Can this series get any better? I don't think so! Beckett and Lilac's story is the cherry on top of this great series. Why, you ask? You'll have to read it for yourselves ...
I can only tell you this much: You'll probably need tissues for your tears, tears of laughter, mind you. If I thought the previous books in this series were hilarious, Ms. Haggerty proved me wrong with Only Forever. I couldn't stop laughing! Lilac's personality made sure of that. I love, love, love this book and this series to pieces!

My forever love
Aspen and Lyric

Such a riot - the people in town are crazy.
This one has miscommunication, perceived cheating (10 years ago), body shaming, interfering towns people and a mystery to solve.
I kind of fell a little in love with Lyric - didn’t take long for him to fall again and he was all in!

The sneaky bonus chapters were great! They had me giggling like nothing else…

Forever For You
Ashlyn and Rowan

Unrequited love, pseudo big brother vibes, and a whole lot of angst feelings.
Throw in a horrible ex-wife for drama, and the mystery of the bank heist continues.

Just For Forever
Cole and Ellery

He started as an arrogant architect… but redeemed himself.
She’s been burned by long-distance before, but now there’s a surprise pregnancy - cute baby name at the end though!

The family (and town) craziness came to the forefront, and it was unhinged. I love it!

Stay For Forever
Maverick and Juniper

Animal rescuer by day, cheating movie star by night with a bootie call and him heading straight into a publicity stunt kissing and ‘dating’ another woman

“I took her for granted. I assumed she’d always be waiting here for me no matter what. I learned the hard way how untrue my assumptions were.”

She took a hard line, but hey… when the guy you’re ‘seeing’ is happy to advertise a relationship with someone else for money and actually kisses her, I’m with Juniper… that’s cheating.

I actually got a bit ragey at a comment by the girls when they confronted Juniper…

“Honestly?” Ashlyn asks, and I motion for her to continue. “I think it will happen again.” I gasp. “Hold on before you get your panties in a bunch.” I snap my teeth at her. “But you two can discuss it before it happens again, can’t you? You don’t go all jealous girlfriend on him when he kisses another woman in a movie, do you?”
“Of course, not. He’s acting in a movie. I’m not an idiot.”
“Think of this as the same thing. It’s an act. Plain and simple.” Ashlyn stands and downs the rest of her wine. “My work here is done.” Ellery clasps my hand. “Ashlyn may be crazy, but she’s not wrong.”

Nope, nope, nope… So they’re basically saying it’s ok to treat her like a dirty little secret…
They actually convinced her that hiding her away is not a bad thing!!!???? Seriously!!!!

Only Forever
Lilac and Beckett

He’s her boss and she’s not a fan.
He micromanages and thinks she’s a ‘player’

Lilac is so, so awkward, and I love her for it.
Beckett was an eedjit for much of the story. A loveable one, but an eedjit nonetheless.

This introduced Becketts sister’s - and my lord, the yeaser for that looks goo!

Compilation including:

Introductory story of the Winter Falls saga. A bit of fun in a hippy-loving town away from the hustle of big town-living. The main characters both have misunderstandings between them and neither can move on from the other. Aspen is forced to come home albeit temporarily; a temporary stay in Winter Falls becomes much more when she is forced to encounter her first love and finds more than she bargains for and it's much harder to walk away from the future she always wanted. Enjoyable story.

Followup story of the Winter Falls saga. The main characters are the youngest sibling Ash and a former sportsman turned baker. Rowan feels guilty about a fall so much that he accommodates her living with him until she is free of her foot cast; this temporary stay becomes much more when they are forced to encounter their feelings. Another enjoyable story.

Ellery and Cole put the cart before the horse.... Ellery is a workaholic and her out of town tryst has got his work cut out for him to convince her that he is serious and wants to be her forever.... Another grand gesture needed out of the Goodreads of De Haggerty.

This book of the series focuses on the mistake a Hollywood heartthrob makes and how he makes it right with June Bug of Winter Falls. There are laughs, a few tears and misunderstandings and whilst it's not as engaging as the previous novels. The momentum to understand the entire West clan is nearing an end.

The finale of Winter Falls is an enjoyable office romance. Beckett and the literal Lilac take their turn as the Gossip Gals secure their final West sister romance. A fun dalliance to end the series.

Each story builds on the characters and tropes giving an enjoyable view of Winter Falls and these sister's ability to meet the men of their dreams

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Warm & Funny Small-Town Romance Marathon

The Winter Falls Collection delivers a delightful binge-read across five interconnected small-town romances. Each book shines with its own charming premise—whether it's second chances, goofy matchmaking, or workplace sparks—but what unites them is the lovable, meddling town of Winter Falls itself.

My favorite part? The town plays matchmaker like it's their civic duty, and the eccentric residents are a hoot. Expect plenty of sweet moments, family-style humor, and heartfelt connections. The pacing flows well across the collection, and you’ll find yourself rooting for each couple just as much as the next.

Minor drawbacks: Because it’s five books in one, the emotional arc of each romance can feel slightly compressed. Some character arcs wrap up quickly, and if you prefer slow-burn development, a handful of stories might feel rushed.

But honestly, the cozy charm, vivid setting, and swoony moments more than make up for it. These feel-good novels are perfect for curling up with on a chilly day or when you want a sweet escape.

Tropes & Emojis
🏡 Small-Town Charm
💘 Matchmaking Community
💑 Second Chance Romance
💼 Workplace Heat (some installments)
👯 Found Family / Besties
😂 Quirky Side Characters
🏠 Feel-Good Comfort Read

Bottom Line:
Perfect for readers craving heartwarming, lighthearted romance with a generous dose of small-town flair—The Winter Falls Collection delivers cozy escapism with plenty of quirky fun.

Recently, I completed “The Winter Falls Collection: Books 1-5” by D. E. Haggerty, and I can confidently assert that it is an exceptional literary work. This collection comprises a captivating and immersive series that immediately captivated my attention from the outset.

Each book within the series is meticulously crafted, striking a harmonious balance between romantic elements and humorous undertones. The author’s remarkable skill lies in seamlessly weaving intricate plots and developing complex characters. The character development is particularly noteworthy, as I found myself deeply invested in the lives of the protagonists.

The fictional town of Winter Falls is vividly portrayed by Haggerty’s descriptive prose and engaging storytelling. It is evident that considerable thought and effort were invested in crafting this series, and the result is a truly remarkable work. Every plot twist and turn kept me on the edge of my seat, and I found it challenging to resist the allure of immersing myself in the stories.

One aspect that readers will particularly appreciate is the humorous antics and misadventures of the characters. Throughout the series, I found myself laughing out loud at their actions. Each story is interwoven, showcasing the close-knit bonds between the family and the townspeople. This series is undoubtedly a must-read for those seeking an engaging and entertaining literary experience. The “gossip gals” will undoubtedly captivate readers and leave them eager to delve deeper into the captivating world of Winter Falls.

The West Sisters.
This is an enjoyable series of novels that in turn focussed on each of the West daughters. I really enjoyed the unique and quirky Winter Falls community – carbon neutral with lots of very Nosey neighbours all of which have very few sexual inhibitions. Each story sort of levels up to the next one while revisiting previous situations, characters and a lot of background information – – so I think I found the greatest pleasure reading them in order. That being said, I found that by the time I reached The end of book 5 – yes I did read them all one after the other- I was almost desensitized to a lot of the hijinks and humor. I loved the whole idea of community members looking out for each other, the complexity of relationships and how you just can’t get away from family. Although several elements could be seen as “fantasy” (ie, it is very hard imagining some things mentioned/highlighted as real in the present day), they were entertaining stories and worth the time to read.

I was introduced to Winter Falls through the 'Cash and the Sinners" series but always wanted to know more about this quirky town and it's people.

Seen through the eyes of the  five West sisters and their struggles to find their perfect mates, this collection offers a much needed exploration of the town of Winter Falls and it's eccentric inhabitants.

With Forrest the pet store owner that doesn't charge for his unusual pets, Lennon the hippie bar owner who would like town council permission to carry a banned hallucinogenic beverage, old man Mercury who knows everything about the town and might not be as grouchy as he leads others to believe and last, but certainly not least, the group of women who will become known as the Gossip Gals who keep the grapevine humming with everyone's business regardless if the residents wants it made public or not.

Five stories that will leave you engaged and wanting more. But wait, you get more as each story has bonus material that gives you more!

As a D.E. fan, I approve and recommend this book.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book!

Quirkiest Town, USA

Speaking from experience, DE Haggerty's books are like potato chips. It is impossible to read 'just one'. I said that 16 books and 4 series ago. I would just read ONE. Book. Well, maybe one series....
The stories in this boxset are a lot of fun to read. It feels like being quirky is a requirement for being a resident in Winter Falls. I love the way the characters accept others quirks and their right to be quirky. I can safely say -- with honest and sincere understatement -- that these books are never boring , although they can be rather steamy.
Each book stands pretty much on its own. But Winter Falls is quite a small town where everybody knows everybody and ALL of their business. The busy-body-ness of its residents is never malicious or intentionally hurtful. Like most small town trope story series, they are always better when read together and you really learn about the town and the relationships between the people.

I received an ARC copy of this boxset from BookSirens and voluntarily chose to share my review.

[Krissy C · Rating 5 out of 5]

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review voluntarily. Small town shenanigans and romance at its finest! The antics of the West family and basically the quirkiness of the whole hippie town had me smiling, laughing and enjoying every moment of their mischief and plotting/match making. This collection follows the West sisters as they each find love and HEA with their perfect for them guy, with a lot of meddling from everyone else.

My Forever Love is Lyric and Aspen's second chance romance. Forever for You is Rowan and Ashlyn's age-gap, falling for sister's friend romance. Just for Forever is Cole and Ellery's surprise pregnancy romance. Stay for Forever is Maverick and Juniper's small town girl falling for a celebrity romance. And Only Forever is Beckett and Lilac's falling for the boss romance. It's hard to choose a favourite as each story was unique, filled with heart, swoon worthy moments and lots of fun and laughter. Definitely a collection you don't want to miss!

Believe me… The Winter Falls Collection is the way to grab these five awesome books by D.E. Haggerty! I read each of these as standalone books—not part of the collection—several months ago. I as I devoured each one, I kept saying to myself how much I wished they had been bundled together as part of a collect. So don’t let this Collection sneak by you!

While each book covers a separate couple, Winter Falls ties everything together. Each storyline is amazing; the characters are so real—they feel like friends and family. The plot twists and turns will totally make your head spin… make sure you have tissues handy. And the HEA in each book? Totally mesmerizing! You really need to grab this collection today and put it front and center on your TBR list! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this collection and fell in love with the couples of Winter Falls all over again!) ❤️❤️❤️

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love the Winter Falls books and this collection of books 1-5 certainly didn’t disappoint. Each book focuses on one of the West sisters and their journey to find their HEA. I love how each character is unique, how the storylines tackle some serious issues and predicaments but also, how along with all the steamy scenes, there is a great sense of community. Each of the chapters is written from the viewpoint of the West sister it’s about and her love interest. If you like small town romance, laughter, community, easy on the eye male characters and lots of steamy moments this is an author to read!

I received an advanced reader copy of theses books and am reviewing them voluntarily This was

This is a brilliant series

There is no other place like Winter Falls

The characters are too funny by far and all their names so hippy

I love the environmental twist to the town

Mind you every body knowing everything that goes on and people so open about all things sex is quite hysterical at times and annoying

The romance woven with humour and angst is gripping reading

These books make me laugh out loud and sometimes cringe as well as sigh the romance is lovely bit steamy at times

Keep it up !

[Douglas Pike · Rating 5 out of 5]

Who knew there could be so much intrigue and romance in a place as small as Winter Falls! I was pulled in from the first tale until the last and I highly recommend this collection for anyone who likes romances with happy endings.

The characters in these tales are instantly likable and sort of weird!

The characters range from a goat shepherd to a recording artist and everything in between! The sex scenes are also great!

These stories are also made interesting by the fact that the town was founded and is populated by old “hippies” from the 1970’s.

I can’t wait for the next D.E. Haggerty romantic adventure novels.

[Judy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun and awesome read. This town is inhabited with fun-loving, carbon neutral town folks who just happen to be hippies . These 5 sisters are different in their own ways, but one thing they have in common and that is letting mother nature have her way . I love their mom because she nows what each one needs.I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

What a great collection of small-town stories that are sure to entertain, as it did for me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these five stories set in the town of Winter Falls. Each couple had a deep connection that was unique to their own plot but combined into a series full of surprises and excitement. I could not get enough and love this author's writing.

I really enjoyed my visit to Winter Falls. Each of these five books are about the West Sisters, Aspen, Ashlyn, Ellery, Juniper and Lilac.

I enjoyed misunderstanding, mistakes, humour, care, spice and love which filled the pages of these books.

Throw in some quirky and eccentric characters whose filters are switched off and you'll enjoy the fun and romance of these stories.

This had me from the very first page. I had trouble putting it down. I so loved these sisters; I grew up in the hippy years and several of my friends were just like them, not me of course-I was always the good one. LOL. There were a few errors, but not bad enough for me to overlook them and see what happened next. I'm going to suggest our next town hall meeting have a secret word and definitely beer.

I love the citizens of Winter Falls! The plots are as unique as the West sisters. I think Mr. West des E ves a metal as the only male in a household with six females; not to mention serving five daughters going through their teenage years.
