Moran’s dynamic, amusing narration drew me into the novel from the first scene. Rachel is still irresistibly beautiful and even sexier to Morgan than seven years ago.

She’s also an incredibly talented artist. Despite struggling with her own personal/family issues and baggage, Rachel is sweet, steadfast, kind, resilient, and resolved, with a forgiving heart. Compared to Rachel, she’s a bit immature. It almost makes her incapable of moving forward. While she’s relatable, Morgan’s a frustrating character to root for because she tends to wallow in the past and the fear that drives her issues and avoidance of her hometown. Burdened by profound self-esteem issues, she carries the weight of the past with her everywhere she goes-despite trying to escape it by running away-unable to view it through mature eyes.

Morgan is aloof, self-isolating, lonely, and afraid to trust or let anyone get too close to her. Can Morgan maintain her professional distance long enough to pull it off and resist the pull of a heartwarming holiday happy ending with Rachel?Ī clever, creative, successful event planner, Morgan puts all her energy into her work, ignoring her personal life and her badly broken heart. To save the farm, Morgan resolves to plan her best fundraiser ever. Her family’s struggling farm remains the only business standing between Fern Falls and the corporate greed destroying the whole town’s livelihood. When she slips and falls in the freezing mud, her rescuer is none other than the primary source of her heartbreak, Rachel Reed-her first love and childhood best friend. But she’s avoided going home for years, unable to face them or her past. She retreats to her hometown and the people that broke her heart to work-and lay low. Morgan’s career as a Los Angeles event planner trajectory hits a snag after she ends up in the tabloids after a night out.

Melissa Moran narrates Courtney Kae’s In the Event of Love (Fern Falls #1), in which event planner Morgan Ross gets a second chance with her dream girl and rediscovers herself along the way when she returns to her hometown for the holidays.
