The bad boy and the golden girl have traded places….I’m back in Harvest Hollow after ten years to prove a point and to even a few scores. I’ve opened a new bar, and anyone expecting the old sweet and shy Jolie McGraw to be running it is in for a shock.
I’m not the only one who’s changed: when the sheriff comes to tell me I’m the prime suspect in the most ridiculous crime in town history, it’s none other than Lucas Cole, the former star of my teenage stress dreams, wearing the badge. Seriously? The smack-talking punk I was forced to tutor in math is now one of the town’s most upstanding citizens? This isn’t what I had in mind for turning the tables on my former tormentors.
I blow him off…until I meet the niece he’s raising. I see so much of my younger self in her. But when I agree to help when she needs a woman in her life, Lucas uses it as a chance to build a case that he’s the man I need in mine.
That’s a hard no. No to love. No to Lucas.
But when Harvest Hollow’s nosiest forces combine to push us together, I’m not sure my heart stands a chance.
The Fall Back Plan is a small town, closed door enemies-to-lovers single dad romcom. You'll get swoony kisses and characters to root for but no spice. Perfect for fans of the Emily Henry/Abbie Jimenez vibe who prefer less heat.
Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
Single dad
Return to hometown
Chosen family
Slow burn
Hot sheriff
Sworn off love
Closed door/kissing only

No swearing. No bedroom scenes. (There is some good kisses).
I Loved both of the main characters and most of the side characters (a couple are obviously not like able on purpose. There IS a teaser at the end about one of the “bad guys” that I am going to pursue right after I post this).
This book deals with an adult returning home and facing all the bullies that made her small, feel alone and scared while growing up. And the adults who ignored her or made her life worse for reasons. And the adults who didn’t.
There is a line where the FMC says that the day she realized how much worse her life could have been took her six months to work through emotionally hit home for me. Sometimes we never realize how protected we are/have been.
I like the reality of the adult versions of her childhood tormentors. I like how she works her way through things being true to character and in a realistic self discovery arc. I love how she discovers herself and the family she had all along. And the people who join her “found family”.
I like the “He falls first” and love that he respects her boundaries. I love his arc too (although his has mostly happened before the story started).
I love how she is careful to be a safe person for a child/children.
It’s worth a listen (or two!)
Just a great feel good (clean!!) love story.
Cute and sweet
