Fleeing her wedding and a toxic relationship in her white gown, Peyton jumps on the first bus out of town—and straight into billionaire Liam Rockwood. Literally. Distracted by her search for a place to stay, she steps into the street and sends the town’s most eligible bachelor crashing off his bike!
Liam is furious. His suit is ruined, he’s late for an event at his hotel, and now the runaway bride responsible is trying to check in. Worse, the small-town rumor mill quickly decides Peyton must be his secret new wife.
When Liam’s father arrives ready to celebrate the “happy couple,” Liam makes Peyton an offer: a temporary marriage of convenience. She gets protection against her vindictive ex, a home, and a fresh start. He gets the wife his family expects.
As crisp fall days turn into cozy nights, they carve pumpkins, steal kisses in the corn maze, and share secrets in the dark. Suddenly, their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously real. But falling was never part of the plan…

I had a feeling I was going to love this one and I was absolutely right!! Fake marriage is one of my favourite tropes and it was so fun reading about it, this series is definitely becoming one of my comfort reads.
Peyton runs out of her wedding, becoming aware just how toxic her husband-to-be is.. Escaping to a random town, almost getting run over by a bike and having nothing but her gown and phone on her, she isn't having a good day.. Liam is running late to an event at his hotel and having to swerve to avoid a woman on the street and injuring his leg in the process isn't helping.. With the staff gossiping that he married Peyton after they been seen together at his hotel, his father finally being proud of him for settling down and Peyton's ex threatening and filling lawsuits to ruin her and her family, they decide to get married for real to help each other out. But, faking a marriage and trying not to catch feelings is not as simple as it sounds.
Peyton was fresh out of a toxic relationship and being thrown into a fake marriage wasn't easy, but Liam never tried to put her in a cage and she always made him feel like he's enough. She was so sassy and ready to do anything for the people she loved, she fought for herself and for Liam and I'm so happy she found someone who saw her. Liam has spend most of his life trying to please his father, trying to live up to his expectations, but with Peyton he just needed to be himself. He was so sweet and charming, nevet let her apologise and always made sure she was comfortable.
Their relationship had a very eventful start with the accident, them getting married right away, meeting his family and moving in with him, but seeing them open up to each other little by little, fighting their attraction because they didn't want to complicate things and being what the other person needed was so special. The care, the books, the tension, the way he was there for her, the notes, the familiarity, the game, the pumpkins, the corn maze, the dinner, the dance, the understanding, the strawberry toothpaste, the cave and the love.. I had so much fun reading about them!!
It was fast paced, I loved the setting and the fall vibes and I'm so happy I saw some familiar faces. I especially loved Lila, I honestly can't wait to read her story next!! Also, I hope we get to see more of Emma!!

"the only risk is not risking. if peyton is the woman who can breach your unbreachable heart, you should give yourself permission to explore it"
⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ 💒 tropes / what to expectˎˊ˗ • marriage of convenience • billionaire romance • runaway bride • small town • only one bed • minimal spice • he rides a motorcycle
⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ 💍 summaryˎˊ˗ on the day of Peyton's wedding, she makes the terrifying decision to jump on a bus and run away, knowing she'd be doing herself a disservice by marrying the man who has always failed to respect her. when she ends up in the small town of blue crescent harbour with nothing but a nearly dead phone and ripped wedding dress, she meets the rich and sexy Liam Rockwood. one near death experience and several arguments later, the public quickly has the wrong message about why Liam has been spotted with a girl in a wedding dress. luckily for him, this could be his chance to finally earn his dad's respect and peyton's chance to avoid the massive lawsuit coming her way from her fiancè and his family.
⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ 🍂 thoughtsˎˊ˗ Camilla Isley has done it again and delivered a hilarious and cozy read and I'm happy to say that I absolutely ate this second book of the Blue Crescent Harbour series right up. if you like Elsie Silver, I confidently believe you will love this series. I really enjoyed the amount of sarcasm and banter that was in both this book and the last and those elements will never fail to keep me entertained.
if I were to describe this book with one word, it would simply be: fun. I didn't think there was a single dull moment where I felt like unnecessary scenes were being added or nothing was really happening. there were pumpkin patch dates, football games with adorable kiss cams, blossoming friendships, book clubs, and so much more that added to the overall cozy vibe in this book.
my reasoning for this not quite being a 4 star is because of how quickly their "marriage of convenience" took place. It was almost a little too convenient the way they went from complete strangers to agreeing to marry within 2 days. also (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on this), I dont think peyton's last name was ever mentioned which kind of throws me off that she's just known as "Peyton" and then "Peyton Rockwood" after marrying Liam. but with that being said, i loved everything else this book had to offer.
⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ 🍁 charactersˎˊ˗
˗ˏˋ ꒰ peyton ꒱ ˎˊ˗ this is a girl who has been talked down to for years. it is evident through the way she apologizes over small things and tends to be hyper-aware of what she and others are thinking about her that she is scared to get hurt again, and i really felt for her because of that. I loved to see the way the town and the people in this story slowly healed those wounds and made her comfortable to be herself. she was also constantly making me laugh with her attitude and overall, she's definitely such a likeable character!
˗ˏˋ ꒰ liam ꒱ ˎˊ˗ such a sexy mmc, my god. he's one of those guys where it might be easy to assume the worst about him at first but you'll quickly learn that you're so wrong. he takes it into his own hands to make sure those around him are okay when he himself is so used to feeling less than due to the way his dad treats him and speaks to him. I hope we get lots of cameos of him in the next book.
˗ˏˋ ꒰ liam+peyton ꒱ ˎˊ˗ these two work so well together and it was adorable to watch them slowly catch feelings for each other and be in denial about it. they worked through all their feelings and obstacles SO maturely, it was very refreshing. also they both have a mutual love for reading and would read their books in bed together and that will always make me stupidly happy hehe.
⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ 🤎 quotesˎˊ˗ "he protects me without trying to control me, and for the first time in my life, I feel like I don’t have to carry the weight of everything alone. I might—and I’m terrified to even think this—have a mega crush on my husband."
“and she has the weirdest taste in books,” Liam tells them, chuckling. “but then again, I already had every one of her ‘foggy island, haunted manor, murderous-wife’ genres in my house anyway. it’s good to know I’ll always have someone to be weird with.”
"home isn’t an address or a new ZIP code I memorized five weeks ago. home is the certainty that wherever this bike goes, I want to go too."
"we’re fully clothed, yet this tangle of limbs, this overwhelming trust I have for him, makes me more vulnerable than if I were stripped naked."
⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ 🏍️ overallˎˊ˗ even though it didn't quite hit the 4 / 5 star mark for me, I still loved this book SO much. I'm truly so happy that I've discovered this series and Camilla Isley because these books are just so cozy and good. I genuinely think that picking up one of these books are a cure for a bad day or even a way to make a good day even better.
thank you so much to netgalley, boldwood books and Camilla Isley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review!!

Marriage of convenience and only-one-bed? Sign me up!
The beginning of this book was a hot mess of things a normal human would never do. From overdosing on paracetamol and washing it down with booze (please don’t EVER do that) to marrying a complete stranger to impress your dad. Like, no sane person would do any of those things. And yet, I ate it all up 😋
I loved the dynamic between Payton and Liam. Their chemistry was amazing. The sort of fake relationship that wasn’t really fake because they were attracted to each other from the beginning 😏, the waking up all tangled up despite falling asleep on opposite sides of the bed 🤭, the stolen kisses, and the way they always, always had each other’s backs. It made my heart sing.
Also, there was no third-act breakup 🙂↕️
Seriously, I loved this book so much!
However.
You might be wondering why it’s not getting all the stars from me. Well, I had one pretty big issue with it: Liam’s perfectly perfect and perfectly platonic single, attractive, straight female best friend. I don’t trust that shit. I don’t care if the hero was in love before; in fact, it often adds depth to his character. But the thing about those past loves or lovers is that once the hero is with the heroine, they don’t matter. The effin best friend, on the other hand, is there to stay. To annoy me. She even gets an effin SELFIE from their bed 😭 Wtf, are they 16? 😭
Platonic-shmatonic. If a man is that close with another woman, it’s never a good thing. Also, such arrangements only work in books; in real life, they’re a recipe for disaster.
Okay, rant over.
All in all, I still recommend it, especially if you don’t mind the bestie thing.
Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the arc, all opinions are my own.
This was such a sweet, cozy small-town romance that delivered everything I love about the fake marriage trope. With plenty of autumn charm, lovable characters, and just the right amount of emotional depth, this story was an easy book to get lost in.
Peyton is instantly easy to root for as she escapes a toxic relationship and lands in Blue Crescent Harbor under the most chaotic circumstances imaginable. Her first meeting with billionaire Liam Rockwood is hilarious, and their chemistry sparks from the very beginning. What starts as a marriage of convenience quickly develops into something much more heartfelt as they learn to trust each other and heal from their pasts.
The small-town setting is one of the book’s biggest strengths. From pumpkin carving and corn mazes to the ever-present gossip mill, the cozy autumn atmosphere practically jumps off the pages and makes you wish you could visit Blue Crescent Harbor yourself.
Liam is the perfect grumpy billionaire hero with a softer side hidden beneath his guarded exterior, while Peyton’s resilience and warmth make her an engaging heroine. Their relationship develops at a satisfying pace, balancing swoony romance with genuine emotional growth.
Filled with humour, heartwarming moments, family drama, and plenty of romantic tension, this is a comforting feel-good read that leaves you smiling. Whether you’re a fan of fake marriages, billionaire romances, or charming small-town love stories, this book is well worth picking up. Even better, it works perfectly as a standalone, making it an ideal place to discover the Blue Crescent Harbor series.
Small-town charm, fall festivals, and a marriage of convenience? I was sold immediately. 🍂💛
Peyton and Liam were such a sweet match. I loved watching them build a relationship where they could simply be themselves, without trying to fit into someone else’s expectations. The marriage of convenience setup gave them the chance to really get to know each other, and I loved how they encouraged each other to be braver, whether that meant standing up to family expectations or embracing who they truly are.
The fall atmosphere was absolutely perfect. From football games and pumpkin festivals to corn mazes, book clubs and small-town traditions, the seasonal setting felt woven into the story rather than simply serving as a backdrop. Add in the wonderful friendships, the charming side characters, and plenty of tension and banter, and I found myself smiling through most of the book. 🎃🍁
This was a cozy, feel-good romance that left me crossing my fingers for more stories about the other founding families. Lila and Emma better each get their own books!! 🤞

╰┈➤ « So we’re both crazy. Great foundation for a marriage. »
Peyton run away from a toxic relationship on the day of her wedding, still in her bride dress and end up fake marrying a billionaire and hotel owner Liam.
Oh..my..god…this was so cute !!! I loved the tension that Liam and Peyton have from the start. But also the flirting, the jealousy, and how fast they fall for each other was adorable.
Peyton and Liam ? Where to even begin omg…they were soo cute and sweet and so perfect for each other! I loved Liam…such a green flag from the start (tho I was with Peyton for the accident in the beginning ;) ) I loved how he was so gentle, protective and helped Peyton a lot. Even when they just met ! And Peyton ! Such a baddie and brave, and I enjoyed seeing her be finally herself with Liam.
It was really a sweet love story, very relaxing and enjoyable !
I never read any other book from this author but now I’ll definitely check her other works!
Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books and the author for this arc!!
I save Camilla Isley’s books for when I have a hard day, because without fail I can sit down and read this book cover to cover and it will give me such a warm fuzzy feeling. I swear it’s like a balm to the soul.
Fall For You is the second in the Blue Crescent Harbour series, which is interconnected standalones set in this small town. We follow Liam and Peyton as they navigate a fake marriage. When circumstances brings them together, people assume that Peyton and Liam are married and having his dad actually proud of him, pushes Liam to make the marriage real. After running away from her marriage- Peyton finds herself in a bad way with her evil ex- needing some firepower, marrying a billionaire doesn’t sound so bad.
Peyton was so sassy and Liam was so obsessed with it. The two of them were such a slow burn and convinced that this was a marriage of convenience, until they found themselves playing house and not hating how it felt.
I love a good enemies to lovers and Camilla Isley never disappoints.
Obsessed with this book! Such a cute story filled with such witty banter, heartfelt conversations, and runaway bride vibes! All the feels while reading this- we all need best friends like Emma and Lila to keep us grounded yet willing to take risks. I cannot wait for the third book!
*Thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for this eARC; the review is my own.*
In the last year or so, Camilla Isley has easily become one of my favorite feel-good authors. There’s always a bit of complication and seriousness in every book, but I think she handles it quite well. I’ve read seven of her books so far, and I’m really glad there are so many others already published and hopefully many more in the future. Of her books that I’ve read, the recent releases have been my favorites. I’m fairly certain I already said this regarding one of her other releases in the last year, but I really think she’s hit her stride. Her books are easy to read, easy to enjoy, and always give me the happy ending I crave. Why else would I read a romance? I love it when authors prove to me again and again that I can trust them with my time and energy (and money, if I love their books enough to make room on my already overcrowded bookshelves). Camilla Isley has hooked me as an automatic reader. You write it? I’ll read it.
When I read Rein Me In I absolutely knew that I would end up loving Liam, and I was right! He comes across as the town bad boy, but he’s a caring, quiet romantic instead. Yeah, he’s completely reckless on that Ducati he drives around, and his first encounter with Peyton was far from cordial. Luckily, she easily matches him, unwilling to back down, despite giving in to the demands of her ex-fiancé and his family for so long. I loved the way they challenged each other but never in a way that hurt or diminished the other person. Right from the start, they supported and backed each other. Their story was so fun and so hopeful.
After the introduction to Lila (Liam’s childhood best friend) in this book, am very excited to read her story! Her matter-of-fact “I like you. We’re friends now” comment to Peyton had me grinning, and I knew she would be a favorite. I really hope I can get my hands on an ARC of her book when it’s available.
How it ends:
Language: Yes, including some f words; no uses of God’s name in vain; innuendo Violence: None Alcohol & drugs: A little drinking Physical Intimacy: Kissing, some fade-to-black sex LGBT: None
After being pretty underwhelmed by Rein Me In, I went into Fall for Me with my expectations firmly in check. I wasn't expecting much beyond a cute small-town romance to pass the time.
Thankfully, this ended up being so much better than the first book.
One of the reasons I've grown to enjoy Camilla Isley's romances is that they're so... easy to read. In the best possible way. Her books aren't trying to be overly dramatic or emotionally devastating. They're fun, light, comforting, and usually leave me smiling by the end. Fall for Me gave me exactly that feeling.
Returning to Blue Crescent Harbor felt a lot like coming back to a familiar place. I enjoyed the setting much more this time around, and honestly, the town itself was one of my favorite parts of the book. Between the harbor, the local businesses, the community events, and all the familiar faces from book one, Blue Crescent Harbor feels warm and welcoming in a way that made me want to stay there.
The story follows Peyton, who finally reaches her breaking point and runs away from her own wedding. After years of dealing with a controlling fiancé and his equally awful family, she decides she's done letting other people dictate her life. During her escape, she ends up in Blue Crescent Harbor and accidentally causes billionaire Liam Rockwood to crash his motorcycle.
Not exactly your standard rom-com meet-cute, but points for originality.
Things only get more ridiculous from there. Thanks to some small-town gossip and a series of misunderstandings, the entire town becomes convinced Peyton and Liam secretly got married. The rumor spreads at record speed, eventually reaching Liam's father, who is unexpectedly thrilled by the news. Meanwhile, Peyton needs a way to stay protected from her ex and his family.
So naturally, they decide to fake the marriage.
And because this is a romance novel, that fake marriage doesn't stay fake for very long.
Is any of this realistic? Absolutely not. Did I care while reading? Not even a little.
Sometimes a romance doesn't need to be realistic. Sometimes it just needs to be entertaining, and this one definitely was.
Peyton ended up being my favorite character. She starts the story carrying years of emotional damage from constantly being criticized, controlled, and made to feel like she wasn't enough. Watching her slowly rebuild her confidence was incredibly satisfying. Once she finally starts feeling safe and supported, her personality really shines. She's funny, sarcastic, smart, and far stronger than she gives herself credit for.
Liam surprised me too. At first glance, he seems like your typical billionaire romance MMC with daddy issues and a trust fund. But there was a lot more vulnerability beneath the surface than I expected. His complicated relationship with his father and his constant need for approval added depth to his character. More importantly, he's firmly in the "he falls first and falls HARD" category of romance heroes.
And I am weak for that trope every single time.
This man was gone for Peyton almost immediately, and watching him try to pretend otherwise was half the fun.
I also appreciated how mature their relationship felt. Despite the fake marriage setup, the romance develops at a fairly steady pace, and most importantly, they communicate. Rather than spending hundreds of pages creating drama through misunderstandings, they talk things through like adults. That's always refreshing.
Some of my favorite moments were actually the quieter ones. Liam and Peyton's shared love of reading was adorable, and I loved the scenes where they simply sat together reading in bed. Those moments felt more intimate than a lot of grand romantic gestures.
And can we talk about the autumn vibes? Pumpkin patches. Corn mazes. Football games. Book clubs. Cozy sweaters. This book basically feels like being wrapped in a blanket with a hot drink while watching leaves fall outside your window.
My biggest complaint though is the timeline. Going from strangers to legally married in what feels like forty-eight hours requires a huge suspension of disbelief. Liam's father also accepts the situation suspiciously easily for someone from a powerful billionaire family. A few plot points felt a little too convenient, and the conflict wrapped up very neatly.
But I wasn't reading this for realism. I was reading for comfort, chemistry, and small-town charm, and the book delivered all three.
Overall, Fall for Me is a cozy, feel-good romance with lovable characters, great chemistry, low angst, and peak autumn vibes. It may not be perfect, but it was exactly the kind of book I was in the mood for. And after finishing it, I'm so excited for book three, especially because it stars Lilah, Liam’s bestie.

But falling was never part of the plan…
⚡REVIEW⚡ Fall For Me is a delightful rom-com that sees runaway bride Peyton fall straight into the path of Liam Rockwood (who you'll have already met briefly in the first book in the Blue Crescent Harbor series, Rein Me In). When staff add 2+2 and make 38 after she wangles a night in his family's hotel, Liam's father wants to meet his new daughter-in-law. One madcap marriage of convenience scheme later, Peyton finds herself moved into Liam's house... And in his bed. As they learn more about each other, sparks fly.
Liam Rockwood has been searching for his father's approval his entire life. We see snapshots of memories that show from a young age, his dad has been hard on him. He's on his way to an event (and running late too) at the family resort when he spots a bride collapsed in the road. He has no choice but to ditch his bike, totally destroying his suit - and mangling his leg a bit - in the process. After a dingdong with her, he arranges for a car to take her anywhere she wants to go, not realising she has already made an impression on him. When she arrives at the resort, using a little emotional blackmail to get her a free night in the Honeymoon Suite, the rumour mill spreads like wildfire. When his father asks to meet his new wife, he feels cornered, seeing him so impressed at this development - so he comes up with a marriage of convenience plan, with a sweetener for Peyton of stopping her jilted fiancé from destroying her parents' lives as revenge for her escaping his clutches. He quickly realises this firecracker of a woman is everything he didn't realise he was missing in his life, and makes little moves that on the surface seem just for show, but acknowledges to himself that they are more for her. I loved how thoughtful he was about her feelings, respecting her house rules, respecting her analytical brain when it came to work, and respecting her enough that after they realised they had mutual feelings, he offered to divorce her so they could start things properly. He never treats her as anything less than his equal, despite having been brought up in a world where the Rockwoods are "better" than everyone else. Towards the end there is a reveal that is heartbreaking in it's origins, but show that Liam has grown into an incredible man despite the hard ride his father has given him. Despite a start that sees you wanting to shake him, Liam Rockwood becomes a character that you will love hugely.
Peyton is one of my favourite rom-com FMCs. She is feisty, sarcastic, and will absolutely go to bat for those she loves. When we meet her she has escaped her controlling fiancé by ditching him on her wedding day - in her dress and all - and has arrived on a bus into Blue Crescent Harbor. She's frozen, and Main Street is like a ghost town. Having managed to furiously blackmail a room out of him, and then helped to patch up his damaged leg (and gaining a new friend in Lila, Liam's best friend as she does), when he offers to stop her awful ex from ruining her family in exchange for 3 years of marriage, she doesn't hesitate. She sees the trauma Liam has when it comes to his father's approval, and is prepared to step up for him, even having just met him, especially in the way she did. She sets sassy ground rules in the house about the bed and Liam's fashion choices, leaves him sarcastic daily notes in his kitchen, and mocks him (gently) endlessly. After securing a job at Rockwood Outdoors, she stands up for Liam to his father, her feisty nature showing her true feelings for him. Her sass becomes a challenge for Liam as she realises she has true feelings for him. She has an evasion to surprises and to big, staged events (witnessed again later in the novel), but Peyton loves fiercely and intimately. Her immediate friendships with other women in Blue Crescent Harbor show her ability to care for people, which had been tamped down for so long by the coercive control of her ex, and little thoughtful gestures show the size of her heart when she's given the breathing room she craves. I'd quite like to be Peyton when I grow up!
Fall For Me is a slow burn novel that has a very gentle level of spice. The depth of feeling each character has for the other jumps off the page and even though it takes place over a short space of time, the love story feels genuine and not rushed. These characters get each other, and respect each other, resulting in an authentic connection. You see each phase of that connection clearly, from the initial meet-cute (meet-eek?) to the moment they realise they have totally fallen for each other. The epilogue is joyful and completes the story beautifully. It's another hit from Camilla Isley - and I'm so excited for Lila's story!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this book!
Thank you to Camilla Isley, Boldwood Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review! 💝
The tropes in this book are fake dating, marriage of convenience, and the one-bed trope, which are already enough to convince me to pick it up. 😭 Surprisingly, I ended up liking this even more than the first book in the series. It was such a cute, fun, and entertaining read that had me smiling throughout.
Peyton just wants a love that’s genuine and passionate. She wants someone who loves her for who she truly is and not for the version they expect her to become. Running away from her wedding ended up being the best decision she could’ve made because Matt was metaphorically suffocating her by trying to fit her into the life he had already planned for her. Peyton simply wanted the freedom to be herself, embrace her personality, and pursue the things that genuinely made her happy.
Liam, on the other hand, that man was whipped almost immediately. 😭 You can tell early on that he likes Peyton, even if he tries to hide it. At first glance, Liam gives off the stereotypical bad-boy vibe; prideful, cocky, and intimidating but that’s only his exterior. Once you get to know him, he’s actually thoughtful, caring, generous, intelligent, and someone who genuinely wants to do right by the company he’ll eventually inherit. I also loved how protective he became of Peyton without making it feel overbearing. He’s honestly just a big softie pretending to be tough.
Matt is a complete piece of shit. Like who does that to someone they supposedly loved? Not only did he try to get Peyton blacklisted so she wouldn’t be able to find work, but he also went after her parents’ life savings through legal means. Absolutely insane behavior. Seeing karma finally catch up to him at the end was so satisfying. He got exactly what he deserved.
The side characters honestly made this book even more enjoyable. I loved Lila almost immediately. Emma was also such a fun character, and I really enjoyed the found family dynamic between everyone. The entire friend group just feels comforting, and it’s one of the reasons I’m excited to continue this series. I have a feeling the next books might be about either Lila and Adam??? or Emma and Remy, and honestly… I’m seated either way. 😭
Overall, this book gave me everything I wanted from a rom-com: funny banter, adorable romance, lovable characters, and plenty of moments that had me smiling, kicking my feet, and giggling. It was just a genuinely fun time.

Now THIS is a great example of how you do fake dating x marriage of convenience! I ate this up like I hadn't been fed in days and the autumn setting was perfect. This is the second installment in Blue Crescent Harbor and in my opinion, the best so far!
Small town billionaire boy Liam has been trying to prove himself to his father in business and as a son. When he accidentally almost runs over a runaway bride, then finds her in his hotel lobby, rumours spread that he has a secret wife - and his father is ecstatic! Peyton took the first bus out of town to nowhere, leaving her abusive ex at the altar. But with his connections, he's now dead set on ruining hers and her family's life. So when Liam proposes a temporary marriage of convenience to prove himself to his father in exchange for helping her out of a legal mess, she reluctantly accepts in the hopes she can protect her parents. Though their attraction is there, falling is not part of the plan!
"For the last five minutes, I've been considering kissing you just to shut your pouty mouth."
Liam is your typical broody billionaire, but the way he falls first for Peyton is delicious. He really yearns for her despite their predicament, until he just can't contain it anymore! She's literally shouting at him and all he's doing is thinking about kissing her and nothing else appropriate for his not-so-real wife. Their forced proximity and that they had to share a bed from day one made the tension go from a spark to an inferno.
"Is that a fantasy of yours? Because I can shush you, if you like."
Peyton at first was hard to get a grasp on at first, but all the signs were blaring in our faces that she was in a horrible past relationship. From saying sorry when she did nothing wrong, to putting herself down when she received a compliment, to throwing food away when any comment is made about what she's eating. Girl... we all been there! I needed that emotionally healing for her and myself, making the romance all the more rewarding. She deserved someone who didn't try to fit her into a box and allowed her to shine by herself! And Liam was that man.
"Well, for you it's the strawberry toothpaste that does it, for me it's you destroying my enemies."
Don't even get me started on the banter and sass. Liam and Peyton could back and forth banter and bicker for forever. But the way Peyton put her foot down and didn't cower in situations meant too belittle her or Liam? Yeah, she defends her man! Fake husband of not. Lila and Peyton's friendship was so wholesome and genuine, and with the fall backdrop and events it just felt like a cozy read overall. I cannot wait for what's next at Blue Crescent Harbor!

Fall for Me is Camilla Isley’s second story in her romantic comedy series set in a fictional small Missouri town. While it’s connected to Rein Me In, Fall for Me can absolutely be enjoyed as a stand-alone. It’s a marriage of convenience story between a millionaire businessman and a runaway bride. The story is told in dual POV, contains several F-bombs, and is slightly open-door. Liam Rockwood was cast as the villain in Rein Me In but then turned out not to be. Now as he’s riding his Ducati motorcycle on his family’s hotel grounds in the rain, he nearly runs over a bedraggled woman in a wedding gown. Peyton fusses at him for speeding, then encounters him again in the hotel lobby. He puts her in the Honeymoon Suite as an apology, causing the nosy hotel staff to believe that she is his secret new wife. Liam offers Peyton a three to five-year marriage of convenience to protect from her vindictive ex and so his father will believe that he’s worthy of running the family empire. Liam and Peyton have a sizzling chemistry, but they fight their mutual attraction as they forge a friendship and work together to implement Liam’s business plans. Peyton’s skills in business analytics are appreciated by Liam, and he strives to give her the freedom to make friends and thrive in her new life in Blue Crescent Harbor. Peyton quickly becomes friendly with Liam’s lifelong best friend, Lila, while staying in touch with Emma, her best friend in Springfield. As the weeks turn into months, Liam and Peyton’s feelings for each other deepen and they fall in love. This is a fall-themed book, with descriptions of pumpkin carving, corn mazes, and high school football games. The main characters from Rein Me In, Faye and Ryder, make a few cameo appearances. Ryder’s sister, Rebecca “Becky”, is a minor character in the story and deserves her own love story. However, the two scene-stealers are Lila and Emma, who are screaming for their stories to be told. The author has revealed that Lila’s story will be the next in the series. Rein Me In is still my favorite book by this author but Fall for Me is a close second. Both stories have deep emotional characterizations and Fall for Me is definitely a character-development story. While Liam seems to be the town’s golden boy, he has deep-seated feelings of inadequacy that he has been struggling with. On the other hand, Peyton has always felt like she needed to tamp down her big personality. Liam gives her the freedom to be herself and assures her that she’s not “too much”. The romantic scenes are cracked-open-door, but Liam drops several F-bombs throughout the story. I received an advance review copy (ARC) from NetGalley and Boldwood Books for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
ARC provided by Netgalley and this review is my honest opinion. My thanks to Netgalley, Boldwood Books and the Author for the opportunity to review. Fall For Me, by Camilla Isley is book two in the Blue Crescent Harbour series. The story begins in a dramatic fashion when we meet Peyton, as she has fled from her wedding (still in her dress) and finds herself in Blue Crescent Harbour. The tension continues to ramp up as her path crosses (literally) with the local Billionaire- Liam Rockwood- and the two quite have the meet cute, with neither being particular keen on the other! I really enjoyed the beginning of the book and how it built towards the premise of the two eventually agreeing to a mutually beneficial marriage of convenience. I found that it was a really interesting way to meet both characters and the story naturally drew my attention and held it until the end. Although they relationship did not begin in a traditional way, it was clear very early on that Peyton and Liam were attracted towards each other. I genuinely felt quite sorry for Peyton as she realised not only that she had been a toxic relationship but that the fallout would have consequences for herself and her loved ones. She dealt with it quite pragmatically and as the story progressed it was really gratifying to watch her rebuild her life and find her confidence again. Liam played a huge role by giving her safe space and he went out of his way to make things ok for her. I really adored his character and when we meet him, he is prickly but never cruel. I really liked that their relationship is not one-sided, and Peyton is just as committed to defending and caring for him as he is for her. They are so well balanced, they had great communication and chemistry, and I loved watching them realise they were attracted to each other and navigate their developing feelings. I have not read the first book in this series, but I didn’t feel that impacted my enjoyment of this book. I particularly liked the world building of Blue Crescent Harbour, and the season of Fall was vividly described with cosy vibes. It was nice to meet the other characters such as, Lila and Emma, the respective best friends of Liam and Peyton and explore the wider dynamic of the Blue Crescent Harbour community. I am looking forward to reading other books in this series. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐.2
Thank you to NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and the author for the eARC.
This was such a sweet, cozy romance that was easy to sink into. While the cover gives off strong autumn vibes and there are a few fall elements throughout the story, I wouldn't necessarily consider it a full-on fall romance. It's also a closed-door romance, making it perfect if you're looking for a heartwarming love story without open-door spice.
Liam is a small-town billionaire determined to prove himself to both his father and the family business. When he nearly runs over Peyton, a runaway bride fleeing an abusive relationship, fate throws them together again at his hotel. After rumors spread that they're secretly married, Liam proposes a marriage of convenience that could solve both of their problems. What begins as a practical arrangement slowly grows into something much more meaningful.
Peyton and Liam were such a wonderful couple to root for. Their relationship developed naturally as they learned to trust each other and found the freedom to be themselves instead of living up to everyone else's expectations. I especially loved how supportive they were of one another. Liam gave Peyton the safety and stability she desperately needed after escaping a toxic relationship, while Peyton encouraged Liam to stand up for himself and pursue what truly made him happy.
Peyton's journey was one of my favorite parts of the book. Watching her rebuild her confidence and realize she deserved so much more than the life she'd left behind was incredibly rewarding. Liam was patient, caring, and protective without ever trying to control her, making him an easy hero to love. Their relationship felt balanced, built on mutual respect, honest communication, and genuine care for one another.
One thing I appreciated most was the lack of unnecessary drama. I kept expecting the typical third-act breakup, but instead, the author allowed the conflict to be resolved through communication and trust, which made the ending feel even more satisfying.
Overall, this was a charming, feel-good romance with lovable characters, a healthy relationship, and plenty of heart. If you enjoy marriage of convenience stories with emotional growth and cozy small-town vibes, this is definitely worth picking up.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ (4.5 Stars)

Favorite Quote: “All that flannel… one spark between us and you’ll go up in flames.”
🚨 SPOILER ALERT: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! I am giving Fall for Me by Camilla Isley an absolute 5-star review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this book and their story so very much! I'm giving it as many stars as are possible. So when I read book 1 in this Blue Crescent Harbour series, I thought nothing could top Faye and Ryder... well, boy was I wrong! This sequel is an absolute masterpiece that you will want to read on your Kindle screen immediately. ARC Disclosure: Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing an early digital review copy (eARC). All thoughts and reflections shared here are entirely my own. The Review Fall for Me returns to the charming, atmospheric community of Blue Crescent Harbour, and it completely raises the bar for the entire series. Moving from the initial foundational setup of the first book, this installment dives into a high-stakes, deeply intimate arrangement that forces two opposing personalities to navigate their lives together. Camilla Isley weaves small-town charm with intense, underlying vulnerability, crafting a plot where the domestic proximity challenges the characters to confront their deepest family pressures. It is an exquisitely paced, heartwarming contemporary romance that perfectly delivers both emotional depth and high-heat tension. The Good Liam and Peyton are amazing, fantastic, and everything I didn't know I needed. Seriously! All tropes here work perfectly well together: fake marriage, grumpy x sunshine, and forced proximity. Add to that superb sexy banter, yearning, a slow burn, and a "he falls first and hardest" dynamic that is so strong! Small SPOILER ALERT here: The way Peyton puts Liam's father in his place while earning his respect is beyond words! And Liam suddenly not giving a rat's as*s about what his family thinks, leaving, and following Peyton? Top-tier MMC right there! End of spoiler.😅 And don't get me started on the town. Seeing our regular book 1 characters back was amazing, and having their two best friends, Emma and Lila, stealing the show at times was just sublime. Absolutely loved it, and I can't wait for book 3 on Lila! The Not So Good Literally nothing! It completely shattered my expectations for a second book, delivering a flawless romantic arc, incredible growth, and the absolute perfect setup for future installments
Peyton was about to get married to a toxic, controlling man, before she decided to leave him at the altar and get on the first bus she saw. She ends up in a small town that resembles a lot a ghost town since almost every single establishment is closed. Peyton is alone, cold, stumbling across the roads in her wedding dress with a dead phone, when she almost gets run over by a grumpy millionaire: Liam. Their first encounter goes pretty bad, so when she ends up at his hotel and gets mistaken for his wife, managing to get Liam something he never had, his father’s approval, he comes up with an offer she can’t refuse and they get married.
tropes: NO THIRD ACT BREAKUPPPP, enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, fake dating, one bed, small town, forced proximity, banter, yearning, slow burn, he falls first,
Okay, woah! What a great book!!!!! This is a cute, fun and fast paced read. Both main characters are incredibly likable, and their chemistry is off the charts. I was immediately locked in. It’s such an easy book to get into because their relationship develops so naturally and I was rooting for them so hard. I’m a really big fan of all the tropes in this book, so this felt like a perfect match.
Their character growth individually was also so well thought out. I love how Peyton got Liam to show who he really was but hid after he was burned by his ex and I love how supportive Liam was of Peyton about her ex. Watching her grow into a more confident version of herself as she healed was so amazing. She was so incredibly brave when she chose to leave, and I love how her character was built and shown in this book. The emotional depth was also spot on. Nothing too overwhelming when you weren’t expecting it, but nothing too shallow that leaves that bitter feeling behind.
Their banter, their sass, how they were able to go back and forth and also stand up for each other? INCREDIBLE!!!
I also loved the supporting characters, and am very excited to read Lila’s book and also book one in this series. I have become a fan!
I am a longtime romance lover, and marriage of convenience is one of those tropes that almost always catches my attention. After reading “Rein Me In,” I was excited to return to this world, especially since Liam was one of the characters who stood out to me in the first book. Add in a runaway bride, a small-town setting, and a fake marriage, and I was more than ready to dive into this story.
I really liked both Peyton and Liam right away. My heart hurt for Peyton as more details about her previous relationship came to light. It quickly became clear that walking away from her wedding was one of the bravest things she could have done. I loved watching her slowly rebuild her confidence and realize that she deserved so much more than what she had settled for. Liam was easy to root for as well. Despite coming from one of the wealthiest families in town, he never felt arrogant or entitled. More than anything, he wanted to protect the people he cared about, and I loved how consistently he showed up for Peyton when she needed him most.
One of my favorite things about this book was how naturally the relationship developed. What starts as a practical arrangement slowly becomes something much deeper, and I found myself rooting for them every step of the way. There were several moments that made me smile, but there were also some emotional scenes that really highlighted how much both characters had grown. I also enjoyed getting to see more of Lila, and I am already looking forward to reading her story.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet, romantic, and had just the right amount of emotional depth. The epilogue was especially satisfying, and I loved getting one final glimpse into Peyton and Liam's future. I also have to admit that seeing Matt finally get what was coming to him was a very nice bonus.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**
🍁Camilla’s writing style hasn’t failed yet to draw me into her books within the opening pages. The humour throughout makes for a light hearted fun read and I am here for that!
🍁This is book 2 of the Blue Crescent Harbour series but could also be read as a standalone.
🍁The opening chapter of the book involves a runaway bride and an unfortunate incident with Liam Rockwood and his motorbike. Liam is late for an important meeting and isn’t impressed at being thrown off his bike by a disheveled and distressed Peyton who happens to still be in her wedding dress and shoes. Leaving her at the side of the road, Peyton doesn’t expect to bump into him quite so soon but finds herself ending up in the lobby of the hotel he owns! Seeing them together in the hotel lobby, the town and Liam’s Father mistake them for being newlyweds! Here begins the fake secret marriage. Liam is desperate for his Father’s approval and Peyton needs protecting from her vile ex who now has an evil vendetta against her because she left him stranded at the alter!
🧡Although their initial encounter is frosty and awkward, Liam and Peyton have an undeniable emotional and sexual attraction to one another. The yearning is off the scale and I loved every bit of it. The dual narrative style made me really feel that I was there with the characters, experiencing their feelings. I enjoyed the development of their relationship and how they soon began to realise this was more than just a convenient relationship!
🧡Liam was the perfect book boyfriend, initially aloof and on the verge of rude, he became charming when he let his guard down and would do anything for Peyton. His love for her was so strong. I loved Peyton’s loyalty to Liam and how she fiercely defended him to his Father. This book had so many of my favourite romance tropes and gave me all the feels, the ultimate feel good small town romance! I would love to live in Blue Crescent Harbour!
Reading this is like listening to a banger you’ve just found on repeat.
It's a quick, easy read, and you truly don't need to know the first book in the series to pick this one up.
With Camilla's writing style, some things are always a given you come back for - the banter, the tension, the chemistry. She does a great job with creating excellent dynamics between her MCs, every time. And the slow burn is always worth it. Her books are almost exclusively closed door, but somehow you end up turned on anyway, because the characters' vibes are just this solid.
I like that they openly admit to being attracted to each other. It adds another layer to the tension and leads to some hilarious conversations. Uncertainty is not always needed, as much as it's preffered in most romances.
It's adorable how they both stand up for each other in their own ways, not expecting a pay off. I love watching people being there for someone just because they think that person deserves it and is worth fighting for.
Of course, Liam is pathetically gone for Peyton at a certain point, and that’s my favorite kind of man. Also, he's very funny and his need to assure her he doesn't want to control her is hot.
Peyton, on the other hand, is a mixture of overcorrecting and reverting back to old behaviors, and I easily see myself in that. I like that sometimes she's bold and sometimes she chokes. That's what healing looks like.
I’d have liked to hear a bit more about Liam taking Matt down, but it’s not something the book did wrong and more of a personal preference, because I’m fueled by rage (and caffeine) this year.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend. If you like marriage of convenience and need a quick pick-me-up, this is for you.
Thank you to NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and the author for letting me read the ARC!
Fall for Me is the second book in Camilla Isley’s Blue Crescent Harbor series. Peyton came to the startling conclusion she needed to escape, a deep, dark necessity that caused her to creep out a stained glass window in a stiff white dress with only her phone and take off to the bus station to take the next bus out. A couple of hours later she comes to the end of the line in Blue Crescent Harbor. Her strapless gown and spike heels leave her freezing and with blisters. The spike heel gets caught in a crack in the road, taking her down on her hands and knees. Just when it seems things can’t get worse, a single headlight comes barreling at her. When Liam Rockwood spies the figure in the road he hits the brakes, swerves, and lays down his bright red Ducati motorcycle, leaving fabric and flesh behind on the road. What a meet/cute!!
Liam is already late to his dad’s function at the Rockwood Resort. He ensures the woman is okay, helps her to the side of the road, and takes off again. However, he does send a car for her to take her to her destination when he arrives at the Resort. He also scares up a pair of unmatched pants to replace the shredded ones and a first aid kit to do the best he can with his shredded leg. When he comes back through the lobby, Liam is taken aback to see the woman standing at the check in desk. They get into a bit of a war of words and when it calls too much attention to them, he takes her to the unoccupied bridal suite then heads to the function. Now we have the gossip fodder for the rumor of Liam’s marriage to the unknown woman.
The story only grows from the eventful beginning chapters to flourish as one of Ms. Isley’s best. The character development is superior. The settings are well described. The plot takes the reader on a wonderful adventure. I very much enjoyed this book and I do recommend it!
Summary: Peyton flees from her toxic fiancé who only shows his true colors at the last possible second -which means she is fleeing in her wedding dress.

Due to her own drama with her ex she accepts and suddenly they are in a fake marriage. But just how fake is it?

My thoughts: This book was really cute! I love a runaway bride so I was pretty instantly hooked. It's so courageous to be shown someone's true colours in a big moment and not feel the pressure to ignore the red flags. Liam and Peyton had great chemistry and banter. I was sort of worried about the pacing at the start of the book just because there was a timeline placed on the fake marriage (3-5) years and the book itself was covering most days. I just had this little flag in my head worrying about it. But it turned out to be misplaced worry. I thought that Peyton and Liam's relationship progression felt very natural. The fall setting and activities were so cute and really lent to the cozy feelings of the book. The side characters were fun. Really enjoyable read overall!
Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the advanced e-copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.
This is one of the sweetest love stories!!! I love Liam & Peyton - from their fiery clash of personalities at the beginning to the longing glances & falling in love bit by bit... through strawberry toothpaste & visits to the pumpkin patch.
Liam.... **swoon** where do I start?? He fell hard... I love how understanding, kind, gracious & loving he is.... when he finds the toothpaste in his suitcase was the absolute best part..... he calls his secretary & says, "get me home tonight, I don't care how." I also love his "fixer" showing up the next day & that whole scene. 💖
Their actual "in love" time in the book is minimal as they fall slowly... bit by bit... but I couldn't put the book down, it hit me in all the feels, the longing & slow burn desire.... from their "let's just kiss to get it out of our systems" to "nevermind, I just really want to kiss you & never stop.... who knew kissing could be so romantic?? 🤩😍🥰
I have loved every book I've read of Camilla Isley's... I can't wait to devour more!! And thank you for no 3rd act breakup!! Might seem like a small thing, but I just love that this book didn't need it!!! (There was minor drama that could have been read as that, but it didn't last long & I appreciate that)..... just slow, slow burn to fiery passion.
This book is Book 2 in the Blue Crescent Harbor series, as a standalone book.
Spice level: 2.5/5 (fade to black, closed door)

Thank you to the author (Camilla Isley), publisher (Boldwood Books) & Netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
Fall for Me by Camilla Isley is a delightful romantic comedy that's full of charm, witty banter, and all the cozy autumn vibes. It was the perfect feel-good escape, leaving me smiling from beginning to end.
One of the things I loved most was the chemistry between the main characters. Their interactions felt natural and playful, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments mixed with genuine emotional connection. The slow-building romance was satisfying, and I enjoyed watching them gradually let their guards down and discover that first impressions aren't always the whole story.
Camilla Isley has a wonderfully engaging writing style that makes the pages fly by. The dialogue is clever, the humor lands well, and the characters are easy to root for—even when they make frustrating decisions. Both leads have personal challenges to overcome, and I appreciated that their individual growth was just as important as the romance itself.
The autumn setting adds so much warmth to the story. Whether it's crisp weather, seasonal traditions, or cozy moments that make you want to grab a blanket and a warm drink, the atmosphere perfectly complements the romance and gives the book an extra layer of charm.
While the plot follows some familiar rom-com tropes, it does so in a way that feels fresh and entertaining. There were a few moments where I could predict what was coming, but that didn't lessen my enjoyment. Sometimes a comforting, happily-ever-after is exactly what you're looking for.
Overall, Fall for Me is a sweet, heartwarming romance with lovable characters, plenty of humor, and a cozy seasonal setting. If you're looking for an easy, uplifting read that feels like autumn wrapped in a book, this is definitely one to add to your TBR.
🩷 Blurb- Fleeing her wedding and a toxic relationship in her white gown, Peyton jumps on the first bus out of town—and straight into billionaire Liam Rockwood. Literally. Distracted by her search for a place to stay, she steps into the street and sends the town’s most eligible bachelor crashing off his bike! Liam is furious. His suit is ruined, he’s late for an event at his hotel, and now the runaway bride responsible is trying to check in. Worse, the small-town rumor mill quickly decides Peyton must be his secret new wife. When Liam’s father arrives ready to celebrate the “happy couple,” Liam makes Peyton an offer: a temporary marriage of convenience. She gets protection against her vindictive ex, a home, and a fresh start. He gets the wife his family expects. As crisp fall days turn into cozy nights, they carve pumpkins, steal kisses in the corn maze, and share secrets in the dark. Suddenly, their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously real. But falling was never part of the plan… 💛 Review - Fall For Me is the second book in a series but it can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed this cute romance novel. It was easy to follow and had a good cast of characters with good pacing and lovely place settings in the story. I loved Peyton and Liam's chemistry and I wanted them to have their happy ending. Fall For Me is the perfect early Autumn read or anytime when you want something cute and cosy to read. I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading more by the author. 💝 Thank you to Boldwood Books, the author Camilla Isley and Netgalley for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
