The book warned me from the start in the front pages that it is only the first stage of the main love story, so I withheld judgment until the end. It is definitely the beginning of something solid, but has neither a “happily ever after” nor a “happy for now” ending for the main couple. Two secondary characters, each with strong ties to one of the main characters, do find their happy ending, though. That arc is a poignant story of Brenna learning to look beyond her image of herself and accept she has the right to a wonderful future with Marcus. The reader isn’t left hanging in every aspect.
I wanted to get that out of the way from the start, but there’s no doubt Maggie and Griffin’s story has enough to fill three books. Theirs is a complex, tangled situation with personal and family history weighing against them.
It’s the Hatfield and McCoy or Capulet and Montague situation where a betrayal in the distant past has set the Spencers and Stones against each other, measuring success only as it reflects off the failures of the other. Their two families founded the town where Maggie has deep ties and Griffin rejected all the ways his heritage called to him long ago. Don’t think the feud a matter of history, either. It might not be played out at gun or sword point, but economics and town ordinances are good enough weapons to tear families apart. I enjoyed how the town’s history is mixed with the personal story and directly influences who they have become as adults.
Maggie and Griffin also have a personal history, one complicated by their reintroduction when Griffin returns home after a long absence as Maggie is literally running away from her wedding day and his kid brother. A school girl crush flares into something more from the moment he helps her escape, and it’s no longer one sided.
Nor are relations between the brothers anything to cheer about, making Griffin’s suspicions about the cause for Maggie leaving him at the altar even sharper. As far as character development, Trevor’s arc is strong, going from the petulant whiner to starting to take responsibility for his actions and making the first steps toward healing, though there’s a long way to go.
There’s a lot of tearing down and rebuilding in this novel, both metaphorically and in reality. Nothing is simple, but at the same time, the story doesn’t take shortcuts or focus on the malicious. This is even true when the potential exists and has come into play elsewhere, something I very much appreciated. Life is complex enough without evil rearing its ugly head.
I hope you have the sense of how real these people and the place came to be through the story. The characters engaged me and made me want to stick around to learn their full story. It’s a strong start to what I believe will be a worthwhile read.
P.S. I received this ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Maggie has always played it safe until her wedding day when she stumbles upon something no bride should. On the run from her wedding she runs into her would be brother in law and things get steamy for them. Both have to deal with the consequences of their actions and I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Not a mind-blowing romance, but I'm intrigued at the thought of a trilogy starring the same characters. Harlequin doesn't do category romance series following the same couple very often, and I want to see how this plays out.
October 10, 2018
Mayor Maggie Spencer was always the dutiful daughter and granddaughter but when she caught her groom making out with another just minutes before their wedding she ran from the church as fast as she could.
When Griffin Stone came driving back into Stonecreek, Oregon to attend his little brothers wedding only to see the bride fleeing the wedding he knew his brother had messed things up and that he had to do something to help her, especially when he realized his brother was gonna play the jilted groom and let the innocent bride take the blame for the their cancelled wedding.
When Maggie's own family started to turn against her because of the failed wedding she never expected she'd end up in the fight of her life with her own family for re-election to the mayoral seat let alone wrong brother.
Maggie and Griffin were willing to go up against their own families but would their fight bring them closer together or tear them apart? It's like a modern day Hatfield and McCoy romance that will leave readers breathless with anticipation.
I'll be honest I hate stories that don't go the way I think they should or that I expect them to go so I was more than mildly surprised that I not only enjoyed Falling For The Wrong Brother but that I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It was beyond my expectations for how good it was and I was never so excited to finish a book and start reading the next book, did I mention it's so good that author Michelle Major had to write more books to take these characters even further into our hearts?
Yes she did, Second Chance In Stonecreek, is the continuation of Maggie and Griffin's romance and I can tell you it melts your heart as easily as Falling For The Wrong Brother did.
I found myself cheering only Maggie and Griffin on but secondary characters as well. From Maggie's little sister Morgan to her best friend Brenna who was insecure and falling for Griffin's boss, Marcus. To booing Maggie's grandmother and Griffin's brother that was written so well that I really started hating them with a passion because they seemed so real.
So even though Falling For The Wrong Brother ends in a cliff hanger where Maggie and Griffin are concerned its still superbly well written enough that it kept me interested even though I hate cliff hangers, lol, and even better I dove right into the next book to see where author Michelle Major was going to take not only the characters but her readers as well.
So whether you like books with cliff hangers or not I recommend reading Falling For The Wrong Brother because like me you might be shocked to learn that you just might like it, I know I did and now I'm left wondering what other good books I've missed out on because they had cliff hangers and I stayed away from them for just that reason.
Michelle Majors delivers in a way I never expected! Luckily for me I already loved her writing so I was willing to give her a chance with a book like this and I'm very glad I did!

Title: Falling for the Wrong Brother
Series: Maggie and Griffin Trilogy Book #1
Stand Alone Title: no
Author: Michelle Major
Genre: Romance
Blurb: Minutes from marrying...the wrong groom!
Runaway bride Mayor Maggie Spencer doesn’t anticipate the fallout from fleeing her wedding. But both the town’s rival families are in turmoil, and her reputation is in question. And riding to her rescue is her ex’s brother! Once, bad boy Griffin Stone ran from challenges, but now, though the timing and the town are against them, he’ll have to fight—for Maggie and their forbidden love.
Favorite quote(s)/excerpt(s): “I picked up a container of nightcrawlers.” She climbed out and gave him an exaggerated wink over the hood when he got out, too. “How’s that for down and dirty?”
“It’s about the sexiest fishing talk I’ve ever heard.”
Thoughts: I have to say, I was steaming mad by the time I finished this book. Not the author’s fault completely – I just happened to randomly pick a book one day from my long, long list of TBR books. So, going into this I didn’t even consider it might be a trilogy. It is mentioned at the beginning that it is the first part of their love story – still not a big deal, I like trilogies in general so I would have read it anyway. What I did have issue with? The frigging ending.
I’m sorry, there needs to be some type of conclusion to a book. Period. I don’t like when I think a book is reaching a conclusion – only to find that it abruptly ends! It’s like somebody kicking me out of the car, into the rain, only to have a truck rush by and drench me with even more water! I understand the story continues, however I need something more to the end to finish this one before continuing on with the next.
I’m also going to be frank – did I like Maggie and Griffin? Yes. At least enough to read the rest of the book. At times it was very slow and felt like it dragged to me. Do I like them enough to continue on to book two? No, I’m sorry, I can’t see myself moving on to two more books with a story that easily could have finished with book one. The story just doesn’t require three books (in my opinion). Sorry, I’m just not feeling it.
This one just wasn’t for me.

Small town mayhem! With a the departure of the norm, Michelle Major brings us a new cozy small town to fall in love with, Stonecreek, Oregon .. but with a twist! Maggie and Griffin get three books instead of one! It's not what we're used to, but I can see potential greatness with having this much time to develop their relationship. We don't get the traditional happily ever after in this book, but we get another book starring the same two characters over the next two months to enjoy. Overall, this book was fast paced, had a lot of drama developed into a short time, and gave us a good foundation to build this union. I'm enjoying it and looking forward to book two!
Mayor Maggie Spencer expected to be starting her married life, but instead found herself fleeing her own wedding. She doesn't expect the backlash it brings, and sets out to repair her reputation in any way possible. Only, she's starting to fall for the one guy that will never be forgiven ... the brother of the groom, and the guy that helped her escape her wedding!
Griffin Stone is the black sheep of the Stone family and only back in town to do a special project at his family's vineyard. He's never fit in here, and he doesn't plan to stay ... but the feelings he's having for the Mayor of the town just might change that!

Michelle Major takes a big detour in her new book Falling for the Wrong Brother. I knew going into this book that there wasn’t going to be an HEA at the end. I somewhat expected a HFN, but either way, it took some mental adjustment to let go of the typical category romance recommendations. This book series is a major departure for Major and Harlequin and I hope it works. To start, there is no happy ending, or even happy for now, by the end. Instead of a quick finish, this book is the start of a three book slow burn. I enjoyed the opportunity to get to know Maggie and Griffin better, even as their story unfolded more gracefully. The story of whether or not Maggie and Griffin can make it work is too big for a single book, it’s going to take three. I, for one, am in for the ride.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.

The first story in a three-part series, Falling for the Wrong Brother introduces us to Maggie and Griffin and their families' feud set in Oregon wine country. These two characters are multi-layered and written so well that I can clearly visualize the book like a movie! Maggie is trying to live up to her family's expectations as well as do her best as town mayor. But a cheating groom has her walking away from everyone's expectations, including her own. Griffin is the kind of reluctant hero I adore with personal baggage he can't set aside. He and Maggie have a past but nothing that prepares them for the spark that lights between them. The attraction they share is undeniable. The secondary characters provide complications, and the setting of a small town is a lovely backdrop. I can't wait for the next book in the series to see what happens to these two!

ALL THE FEELS!!!
I have no idea how Michelle Major does it, the love I feel for these characters... is completely and absolutely REAL! I am so invested and so attached. Oh my gosh! I miss them already! I felt so many emotions reading this book. The story hooks you right from the very beginning and holds your attention and your heart all throughout the story.
I could not stop turning pages! It’s a must devour book. Y’all, I finished the last page of this book, ugly crying and completely in need of more! More Maggie and Griffin.
This is book one of the Maggie and Griffin trilogy. The camaraderie and chemistry between these two had me swooning and laughing out loud. Book 2.... HERE I COME!!
MUST READ! So anxious for Book 2! Michelle Major rocks my book loving world!

Falling for the Wrong Brother Book 1 of the Maggie & Griffin trilogy [Runaway bride (Mayor) Maggie Spencer doesn’t anticipate the fallout from fleeing her wedding to (Vineyard Marketing Director) Trevor Stone. But both the town’s rival families are in turmoil, and her reputation is in question since she takes the blame so she won’t be thought of as weak even though Trevor is the one caught kissing someone else and comes away smelling like a rose. And riding to her rescue is her ex’s brother! Once, bad boy (ex-Army/Construction Engineer) Griffin Stone ran from challenges, but now, though the timing and the town are against them, he’ll have to fight—for Maggie and their forbidden love.]

Maggie fell for the wrong brother when she was dating Trevor not Griffin. (Clever choice in names, as I know the real brothers these characters were named after!)This book has a “Hatfields and McCoys” theme as the Spencers and the Stones were the founding families of Stonecreek and often themselves competing for control of the town. The marriage between Maggie Spencer and Trevor Stone was to finally join these two powerful families, but the wedding was not to be. Instead, Maggie finds herself in a complicated relationship with her former fiancée’s older brother Griffin. Griffin’s character has depth and I was drawn to him immediately. As for Mayor Maggie, she had the tendency to get on my nerves. This book also dives into other relationships between siblings, a domineering grandmother and former lovers. Fair warning—this book is a Cliffhanger.

Maggie and Griffon are just a part of this book.
there is so much going on within the book that it makes for a real interesting book.
it is very easy to follow. Maggie is the Mayor and Griffin has just returned after being away for many years. They begin to fall in love and trouble happens. Her family causes most of the problems. I am looking forward to next part of book to see if they get together. It was a good book. and I recommend to anyone who likes reading 2-3 part book series.

From the first two pages where we watched poor Maggie run down the street in her wedding dress to the last few pages, I was hooked! What a great ride...read it in two days. Wonderfully developed characters and a beautiful small-town setting. Loved the references to the wineries...felt like I was livning there myself. Cannot wait for part 2 to follow Griffin and Maggie more as they discover who they are!

Wow! What an amazing and captivating book! Michelle Major pulls you in from the very first page and keeps you turning the page needing to know more!At one point my heart was beating so rapidly I thought it was going to explode!
This is the 1st book in the Maggie and Griffin Trilogy. It starts out with Maggie making a life changing decision and ends with the hopes of a happily ever after! I cant wait to start book 2!

August 22, 2018
Maggie was hurrying away from the church and away from her family and friends and her remorseful, apologetic, and cheating fiance- Trevor. Maggie had ran away from her own wedding five minutes before she was marry Trevor which .was to be the joining of the two most powerful families in Stonecreek and most the people of Stonecreek were in the church waiting for the wedding to start. As Maggie hurried away Trevor’s brother Griffin pulled up and asked Maggie if she wasn’t going the wrong way and Maggie was determined to take no help from who had been away for ten years and wasn’t supposed to even be there as it was assumed he wasn’t coming to the wedding as he hadn’t bothered to reply to the invitation. Griffin had grew into an alpha man. Griffin had been the star of every one of Maggie’s teenage fantasies even though bad boy Griffin had barely acknowledged her whereas Trevor and Maggie had been very close since kindergarten. Griffin was three years older then maggie and they were a world apart. Griffin made it clear he thought Maggie was nothing but a spoiled princess. Maggie’s only sin had been to trust the wrong man. Maggie hated feeling fragile, hurt, hated Trevor for what he had done. Maggie’s ankle really did hurt so she had no choice and ended up getting herself in Griffins SUV. Maggie had purchased her grandmother's house a couple of years ago and that was where she was going. She knew if a bout a half hour her family would all show up. Maggie knew how she had brought shame to their family name. Everyone in town had presumed Griffin was being groomed to take over the family vineyard but Griffin’s father -Dave would never had allowed him to take over the business as Griffin could never please his demanding father. By the time Griffin was in his teens he didn’t even try to please his father.anymore. The last time Griffin had been in town was four years ago for his father’s funeral. Griffin hadn’t seen his brother Trevor since then either. Griffin went to the church and headed straight for his brother and punched him in his face. Trevor had been playing the broken hearted groom and should have got an award for his acting skills since it was his cheating that had caused Maggie to leave the church. Griffin told Trevor he could either tell him what he had done to Maggie here in front of everyone or in private and the two brothers left the main part of the church. Griffin had spent most of the last decade in war torn countries in the Middle East in the Army as a medic.
Then he worked for various construction companies after he got out of the Army. Griffin might not have a relationship with Maggie but the connection he felt had been immediate and almost palpable. When had Maggie turned into a beautiful and melancholy woman? Maggie hated to admit how much it hurt her that people who had known her since she had been in diapers could turn on her so quickly but she wouldn’t let it show. Griffin was suppose to be in town for a couple of months as he was rebuilding the tasting room at the vineyard. Even when Maggie was younger to present day when Griffin appeared her body started to hum like a high voltage power line. Maggie invited Griffin to sit after she had spent three hours walking around for three hours at the Spring Festival. Then he told maggie he had come to the festival to see her. They decided to leave the town and go somewhere else. Maggie and Griffin started to date.
I totally hated the cliffhanger ending of this book. I don’t always remember to look for the next book when it comes out. What really angered me i sI loved this book - it was a five for me- right up until the end. In my opinion that was so wrong. I will still give this book a four as it deserves that but i am not in the least not happy with this book and I now regret reading this. I had read this in one day as I wanted to see what was going to happen next. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book until the end, I do recommend with warning of the big cliffhanger ending.

Only moments before getting married Maggie realize what a mistake would be if she went through it and left. Imagine her surprise when she ends up finding her exs brother, Griffin, driving along offering her help. The thing is the Spencer family and the Stone family getting married is kind of a big deal in this town and she didn't realize what kind of repercussions would happen. And after Griffin helping Maggie things slowly start to heat up between the two.
If I had known this book was a Trilogy and not its own book I would have waited for the next two books rather than reading it now and forgetting to probably pick it up later.
From what I've read this is a good start I really enjoyed it. It was interesting seeing how the Spencer family and the stone family have their little quarrels have ways of being really petty towards each other. It was interesting seeing the length the families would go to mess with each other. I did like the romance between Maggie and Griffin play out. Overall it was a pretty good book and I can't wait to see what happens next.

What's a woman to do when she catches the man she is just minutes away from walking down the aisle to, missing another woman? Of course she cancels the wedding! Who rescued her running from the church? The groom's brother, the "black sheep" of the family! Maggie is the Mayor of the town and marrying Trevor was in a way the joining of the two main families of the town. But after catching Trevor missing another woman, she realizes she doesn't love him the way she should to marry him. Then there is Griffin, her rescuer who seems to do that a lot! Between Maggie's family, her Grammy, her dad and siblings and running the town she has her hands full. Griffin has come home at his Mother's request which doesn't sit well with Trevor. Griffin has mixed emotions about being home, he loves it here, but doesn't know if he will stay. Maggie and Griffin grow closer and just when you think everyone will have a happy ever after, nope! I really enjoyed this book, and it's a little different, it's book one of a three part series and I can't wait to read books two and three!

This book gives a great beginning to what I hope is an amazing happy ever after! The descriptions in this story are so clear I feel as if I am there in the vineyard.
I also enjoyed the sub story of Brenna and Marcus. I hope to get more of their story in future books.
My only dislike is having to wait for book 2!

Michelle Major pens uplifting, engrossing and spellbinding contemporary romances that never fail to hit the spot and she is on top form with Falling for the Wrong Brother. A captivating tale about forbidden love, inconvenient attraction and healing from the past, Falling for the Wrong Brother kick starts Michelle Major’s dazzling trilogy featuring Maggie Spencer and Griffin Stone that will hold readers in thrall.
Mayor Maggie Spencer has always done the right thing. Duty and responsibility have always lain heavily upon her shoulders and she has always done what was expected of her, both personally and professionally. Getting married to Trevor Stone seems like the sensible and logical next stop and their union is seen by all of Stonecreek’s residents as the joining of two of the town’s most influential families. Theirs is not exactly the love affair of the century, however, Maggie knows that everyone is expecting her to marry Trevor. All the doubts she has been getting lately are merely last minute jitters, however, just before she is about to walk down the aisle in front of the entire town, she realises that there simply is no way she can marry a man she doesn’t love, so she runs away from the church and bumps straight into the other Stone brother, Griffin, who ignites feelings deep within her which she has certainly never felt with her fiance!
Stonecreek is a place full of memories for Griffin – and none of them are good! Having had a very difficult relationship with his late father, Griffin had skipped town after high school and joined the army, vowing to keep his visits home as infrequent as possible. When he had heard that his brother was getting married, his first instinct had been to refuse to attend. He has never been close to Trevor, but knowing how much his mother would love to have him at the wedding, he mustered up all his courage and decided to go back home – only he never imagined that he would find himself chasing after his brother’s runaway fiancee!
With her reputation in tatters after jilting one of the town’s most prominent sons, the last thing Maggie wants or needs is to have her head turned by her former fiance’s good-looking brother. Maggie has long had a crush on Griffin, but with everything that’s gone on, a relationship with him is simply out of the question…or is it? As the two of them find themselves spending more and more time together, Maggie and Griffin quickly realise that they are falling head over heels in love with another, but with all the obstacles standing in their way, dare they take a leap of faith and a chance on love? Or is their forbidden romance doomed before it’s even got off the ground?
A superb contemporary romance that will touch your heart and make you laugh and cry, Falling for the Wrong Brother is an addictive, engrossing and compulsively readable tale that is an absolute struggle to put down. Sparkling with warmth, heart and charm, Falling for the Wrong Brother is a story of hope, second chances and new beginnings with a terrific heroine who is smart, human and believable and a gorgeous hero who will make readers swoon!
A lovely contemporary romance that ticks all the right boxes, Falling for the Wrong Brother is another must-read by the fantastic Michelle Major!
