One Fall Day
A small town romance about a Manhattan girl who steps out of her boundaries to find what was missing all along.
Manhattan food critic Valentina Aragon is reluctant to visit small town River Valley. When her mentor insists it will help recharge her creativity (with the possibility of a promotion), Val figures there is nothing to lose. A trip to the local B&B turns out to be just what the doctor ordered, and Val easily loses herself in the warm citizens and welcoming town. The last thing she expects is a run-in with an unmannerly yet very handsome landscape designer. Brandon Scott never expected to lose his heart. With a full workload to keep him busy and a reluctance to start a relationship, love is the last thing on his mind. Though he isn’t exactly welcoming to the local inn’s pretty new boarder, an opportunity to make it up to her draws them closer together. As the golden leaves fall and River Valley embraces the chilly autumn season, acquaintances turn into friends and more, a community comes together to save a local treasure, and a figure from Brandon’s past may jeopardize his thriving business and possible future with Val.

One Fall Day is a well-written clean romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Reading it made me want to visit River Valley in the fall and stay at the B&B there. Since the town doesn't really exist, I was happy to get to go by way of Rachel Matthews' book. Ms. Matthews' does a great job at developing her characters and adding in twists and turns to the plot. There is a great HEA. I would recommend this to readers of sweet romance. I received an ARC. I chose to write a review and share my opinion.

Needed better editing
A nice story with enough issues to keep you reading. The editing issue was a bit off putting, for me. Had lots of potential.

At times I swear it was written on a cell phone with auto correct... so many typos.
Hopefully those have been corrected since September 2018.

1.5 stars. While this story is cute, it’s just not executed well. Lots of grammatical errors and tons of boring dialogue. Was hoping for a better read.
