Customer Reviews

Good Read!

Falling In Love is a descriptive and quick read. I found it lighthearted, and enjoyed the simple, direct dialog between characters. Very engaging; I did not want to put it down.

Very good book with suspense until the end

Pauline Trent has written a very good first novel. The characters are interesting and the story carries the reader until the very last page which ends the suspense of the book with a somewhat philosophical ending.

Wonderful Book

What a wonderful gentle Romance! I got the book in the mail on Tuesday, started on it the next day, and finished it the following morning!

Tender, Gentle, Romantic - Fall in Love for the First Time, Small-Town Style

I hate to be a spoiler, so I won't say anything more lest I let something slip, but the headline says it all. Escapism at a time when a stressed, lonely girl needed it most, this debut romance left me eager to see what Ms. Trent has in store for us next. She can only get better, and that's a thought to make me grin with anticipation!

Amazing debut romance: tender, gentle yet full of rich emotion

On her way to work at the local diner in Lambert Falls, North Carolina, Angie Kane notices the smell of a fire in the air. Smoke is coming out of the chimney from the old Montgomery place. In a small town like Lambert falls, little goes unnoticed. Even the local sheriff Bobby Granger notices and goes out to investigate and meet the newcomer. Chris Montgomery has returned to his grandfather's home to get a bit of rest and relaxation after a hard life in the military. When he accepts a dinner invitation from Bobby, he can't help but notice Angie, a woman so natural and full of life. Angie has always felt like second best compared to her sister Carter Anne when it comes to men. When Chris starts paying attention to Angie, she knows that hurt is only around the corner but she can't help herself. Angie has made a good life for herself in Lambert Falls. Everything she ever wanted is right here --- friends, family and a way of life she treasures. When Chris steps into her life, Angie's life becomes full of laughter and fun, but is heartache just around the corner? Just as Angie discovers the hidden talents within herself, will she have to choose between herself and the man she loves? Can two wounded souls find their way through the laughter and joy of being together to something more permanent? Does true love make a woman sacrifice all that she holds dear? Pauline Trent's debut romance FALLING IN LOVE sweeps the reader right into the heart and charm of small town Southern life. FALLING IN LOVE whisked this relocated North Carolinian away to the days of my youth not only with her ever so carefully chosen descriptions of place but more importantly with the personalities of her characters. She captures perfectly the balance between Angie's competition and closeness with her sister Carter Anne. The widower Bobby adds an element of special charm and depth as his wisdom sheds nature on the nature of love. His struggle to raise two girls alone adds a delightful humor to the romance. Pauline Trent captures the wonderful changes within a person falling in love for the first time --- the laughter, the excitement and the joy that even simple moments bring. Life takes on a different, more magical hue. From the first moments, the reader feels the chemistry between Angie and Chris and yet, the beauty of this romance is in the author's ability to capture all the more subtle, quiet moments between the initial attraction and the growth of a deeper love within as the hero and heroine get to know one another. Love from Chris and her family fills Angie with a new-found confidence to come out of her protective shell in exciting new ways she never could have imagined. As outside events enter into the safe circle created by the love Chris and Angie share, Pauline Trent does an excellent job at making the reader feel the tension that threatens the magic of love. It isn't just a past hurt that motivates Angie. Love has changed Angie so that she is dif
