Synopsis

Fake dating isn’t supposed to lead to real feelings….
 
Highland Falls police officer Emma Scott is a workaholic who doesn’t do small talk, hugs, or anything else touchy-feely. Ever since her fiancé’s death over a year ago, Emma’s been sleepwalking through life, and her family is growing increasingly worried about her. Enter Josh Callahan, her brother’s best friend. Josh is obnoxiously good-looking and, even more annoyingly, in a perpetually cheerful mood. Though he may drive her crazy, his suggestion to fake date him is brilliant because there are no feelings involved. At least, not at first.
         High school football coach and volunteer firefighter Josh Callahan is a fun-loving guy who is all about friends, family, and community. After his wife left him, he committed to staying uncommitted, except now he’s earned the nickname “Heartbreaker of Highland Falls.” Spending time with Emma will improve his rep while she can remember what it means to get out and enjoy life again. And his plan works…until Josh realizes that the feelings, he has for Emma are all too real.  But is Emma ready to share her heart again?

MY THOUGHTS

I just love holiday books and I’m so drawn to their covers. But this book has a lot more going for it than just its cover. This is the sixth and final book in the Highland Falls series, the series has had a great run and I’ve read almost all of the books in it.

Now I just need to find the time to read the rest of them. Reunited on Sugar Maple Road has some characters we’ve already met in previous books, which I just love, and we are introduced to some new characters.

Highland Falls police officer Emma Scott is reeling after the devastating loss of her baby and husband. She’s really struggling, which is understandable. She’s not ready to move on, all she needs is her police work right now. In the background has always been her brother’s best friend, Josh Callahan.

They decide to fake date just to get everyone off their back about dating for real but what happens when you don’t want to fake date anymore because it feels too real? Josh is the perfect support person she needs as she’s going through her grief, not pushing her at all just giving her all the time and support she needs.

This is such an emotional book that just kept me reading.

I enjoyed the Halloween vibe it has as well, along with the hundred-year-old unsolved mystery, and can we say spooky haunted house? The book really has a lot going for it, supportive hero for our heroine, heartwarming, emotional and packed with Halloween goodness. I recommend this one to you!
