Elliot Champ, a charming but solitary bachelor who has sworn off romance, is closer than ever to realizing his childhood dream of moving to Miamiβ€”until a chance letter lands on his desk, and changes everything.The letter takes him to Echo Glen, a secluded retreat outside of Seattle, where he meets David Hadley, an elderly man who needs Elliot’s help fulfilling a promise to his wife, June. But along the way, it is Elliot whose life will be changed, as he’s introduced to a cast of colorful characters who conspire to draw him ever deeper into a whimsical world, where falling in love is all about letting go.From the green mountains of the great Pacific Northwest to the scarlet poppy fields of northern Spain, this unique and heart-wrenching love story will take you on an emotional journey to that ever-elusive place called true love. Another must-read romance from Ryan Winfield that is guaranteed to draw tears, put a smile on your face, and have you, too, falling for June.

This is the first Ryan Winfield book I have read, so I didn’t know quite know what to expect from Falling for June. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this read! Winfield has a wonderful way of transporting the reader to the past. I felt very much a part of David and June’s love story. Readers learn about David and June’s story of love and adventure as David is telling it to Elliot. I did not expect to fall in love with the characters as much as I did. I was as rapt listening to David’s story as Elliot was and was all along hoping that Elliot would find true love as well. This was a very emotional read. I felt the characters’ pain, love, longing, despairβ€”I know that sounds as corny as hell, but it’s the darn truth! I had tears streaming down my face for half of this book! Read this book. It is touching and awesome. I will definitely be looking for more of Winfield’s books to fall into!
