Melissa West has me totally smitten with her No Kissing Allowed Series. After reading the first book of this series, I was hooked and couldn’t get enough of these feel good sweet romance stories. And in her newest installment, No Falling Allowed, Melissa West has me falling hard and begging for more of Noah Hunter and Grace Soaring.

Grace Soaring is the daughter of a self-made billionaire. Money should not be an issue for her since she has daddy’s Amex card and is living in New York apartment that cost more than people’s mortgages. But what people don’t realize is that Grace Soaring doesn’t want to be defined as the daughter as one of the most successful businessman. Grace took a different career path to the dismay of her parents. But standing on her own two feet is what Grace prides herself on. She has a great job working at the MET and has two best friends that she can rely on. She is living and surviving the concrete jungle of New York City. And so when she meets a stranger at a bar and they hit it off, things progress so fast and soon Grace finds herself taking Hunter back home with her. In that one night, they shared a connection of passion and possibly more. But what happens when Hunter leaves the next day without any word or note and then later in the morning, Grace discovers that she was part of mass lay-off in the MET. Could life for Grace get any worst?

When Noah Hunter met Grace, he felt an instant connection to her and wanted to spend more time with her but when a family emergency has him rushing to go back home, he regrets how he didn’t tell Grace he had to go. Noah has dedicated his life to his baby brother since their parents died in a fatal crash. His life consisted of work, his brother, work, work, work, and taking care of his brother. And so there was no room for love in Noah’s life that is until Grace appeared in the small Southern town of Cricket Creek.
When Grace decided to take up a wedding planning job, her first assignment was in Cricket Creek, South Carolina. And it so happens the wedding ceremony is taking place at Noah Hunter’s restaurant/bar property. Noah is completely shocked to see Grace and tries to explain why he had to rush out in the early morning. As much as Grace tries to stay angry with him, she finds herself letting her guards down and letting him. And soon, Grace truly sees Noah, a man who has sacrificed his life in providing for his baby brother. Noah is a simple Southern man who is beloved by the townspeople. As Noah and Grace begin to explore their relationship, what happens when Grace’s time in Cricket Creek comes to an end and she has to return to back to New York? Will Noah’s insecurity of not having enough money stop him from pursuing Grace? Will Grace be able to show Noah that all she wants is him? As Grace falls hard for Noah, will he be able to catch her fall?
No Falling Allowed was one of those sweet reads that will have you totally smitten with West’s charming and beautiful prose. I have always been a sucker when it comes to small town romance and I love that majority of the story line took place in Cricket Creek. I adore the town’s people of Cricket Creek as people tried to meddle and push Noah and Grace together. I think what drew me into enjoying this book was the simplicity of the story and the main focus of Noah and Grace. I love that readers were able to witness their vulnerabilities and insecurities but together these two were able to help and heal each other. So if you are looking for a sweet, charming love story that weaves the elements of friendship and self-discovery then I suggest you fall for Melissa West’s No Falling Allowed.
