Description
"A new, sexy contemporary romance from Ryan Winfield, the next Nicholas Sparks, and the New York Times, USA TODAY, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Jane's Melody, praised by Elin Hilderbrand as a "shockingly hot and sweet love story."-- "David Hadley is 51 years old, lonely, overweight, depressed, and looking to change his life. He travels to Echo Glen, a few hours north of Seattle and home to a Hollywood-style stunt school. The school is run by June, a daredevil BASE jumper and show more an ex-stuntwoman herself. June seems to have a soft spot for animals and misfit people alike, and she runs the stunt camp to raise funds for her animal sanctuary and the outcasts it employs. Captivated and entranced by the chance to get to know June, David overlooks his poor fitness and advanced age relative to the much healthier, much younger students and enrolls in the stunt school. What follows is a humorous and touching love story that develops slowly between David and June--a romance that will take them from the lush valleys of Washington's mountains all the way to El Camino de Santiago, across Spain, and then back again. Along the way, June must come to grips with a diagnosis that will change everything that she loves about her life, and David must learn that in order to truly live you must sometimes let go of fear and let yourself fall in love"-- show lessTags

This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreThoughts on Falling for June
This is probably one of the best love stories I've read. There is definitely romance, but there are other types of love shown in this book as well.
I couldn't help but fall for Mr. Hadley and June's love story. It's almost magical in the way they met and how they fell in love with each other. It's a great, once in a lifetime love. A love that I think everyone deserves. And I really enjoyed that we don't really see it first hand. We see their emotions grow through Hadley's storytelling with Elliot.
Elliot is a character that doesn't believe in love. Well, that's what he claims, but everyone has a soft spot for an epic love story. He learns a lot about show more himself through his time spent with Mr. Hadley. He finds himself wanting to spend more time with Mr. Hadley in order to hear more of the story. Elliot hasn't been on the receiving end of much love in his life, and his dad told him it would bite him in the ass if he fell in love. That advice has kept him guarded his entire life.
Falling for June is a love story, finding yourself story, and emotional at times. While it had it's slow moments, I enjoyed the writing and the story it puts in our hearts.

4.5 stars. Lovely romantic story and not only did I fall for June, I fell for David too. Sigh. Can't wait for Mr. Winfield's next book.
