5.0 out of 5 stars Meet John Day - The Original Bearded Book Hero
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016

Ready to Fall is a spin-off from the Modern Love Stories Series and the beginning of the Wingmen Series by one of our most FAVORITE authors, Daisy Prescott! I read Ready to Fall as soon as it came out, but before we started blogging. So, I was excited for the chance to participate in the Wingmen Series Book Tour and remind myself why I love this book and this series!

Beards are totally a thing now, right?!?! I mean you see them EVERYWHERE, (and you don't hear me complaining!) And, I firmly believe that John Day is the original Bearded Book Hero. The OG of Bearded-Hotties. The Father of the Lumberjack Revolution. He's literally a lumberjack with a dog named Babe! John Day is calm, rugged, honest and loyal. He's tough, manly, confident and capable. He's not looking to fall in love.

Diane Watson finds herself on Whidbey Island to heal her damaged spirit and take her life in a new direction. She's sweet and kind and compassionate and determined NOT to fall for the lumberjack-next-door. But, she does need kindness, support and friendship. She finds those attributes in John Day and one thing leads to another.

Ready to Fall is a slow-burn, sweet, butterfly-inducing story of love and healing and diving head-first into a relationship despite every effort to guard your heart from the impact. I adore John and Diane! You get brief glimpses into the lives and loves of their many friends, including the Geoducks gang and a GREAT intro to Tom Cat Donnelly! AND, Whidbey Island feels like a character in the book more than a setting. (Visiting this oasis is now on my bucket list!)

Ready to Fall (and Daisy Prescott) knew bearded heroes before beards were even cool. This book is proof that sweet romance and heart-felt characters never go out of style!

This book received a 4.5 Rating on BFF Book Blog. BFF Book Blog uses an additional set of icon ratings. This book received additional ratings for: sweet, romance, supporting characters, butterflies, character development, hero, and world creation.

4.0 out of 5 stars great for fans of penny reid
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016

Earlier this year, I reviewed Anything but Love by Daisy Prescott, which is the third book in the Wingmen series. I enjoyed the book so much that I knew I wanted to go back and read books one and 2. So today I have my review of the first book in the Wingman Series, Ready to Fall. The Wingmen series is a group of interconnected romantic comedies that can each be read as standalones. Ready to Fall made me want a lumberjack, and I didn't think that phrase would ever be coming out of my mouth. But it sure is true. I will take a John day, any day. Daisy Prescott does a fantastic job with romantic comedies. I think her books will be perfect for fans of Penny Reid, and you all know how much I love Penny Reid.

What I loved most about Ready to Fall, is that it is told from John's point of view. Yes, an all male point of view romantic comedy. Why are there not more of these? I felt for John. He is such a great guy. Yes, he is a playboy but he seemed so difference from Erik in book 3, Anything but Love. Erik seemed like more of a manwhore, and john seemed more of a guy that wasn't ready to settle down but had moreso be lied to and wronged in his past. Can you tell how much I love John, by how I am already defending him. He is the kind of guy you picture showing up and saving you/sweeping you off o f your feet. No matter how much he may not think so, John makes a perfect hero. I liked Diane, his love interest, as well, but John just stole the show for me. I loved watching the two of them dance around each other, never quite making a move. It was great to have sweet couple to root for. Once again, I think this book would make a great movie. Maybe someone could take all four of the books in the wingman series, and make like a Love, Actually or Valentine's Day mash up of the stories and we could watch them all play out at once?I also wouldn't mind all of them being turned into their own movies or the guys getting their own show. (Either way, someone make it happen!)

Bottom line: Ready to Fall is a solidly great book. The writing is top notch, the characters are relatable, and likeable. And the story line will have you laughing. I am a new (newly huge) fan of Daisy's. I just love her writing. She writes fantastically delicious tension, and her humor is spot on. And I know this has nothing to do with the story, but I also love that her bio says she lives in a real life Stars Hollow. I want to visit! Check this one out if you like romantic comedies, and books like Penny Reid. (and yes, I said that in my last review too, but it is still true!) If you have never read a Daisy Prescott book, you need to fix that ASAP! Trust me.

*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated for my thoughts.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was fine but just wasn't good enough
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018

Ready to Fall is a pretty decent read. If I have to describe it in one word, I think it would be charming. I love how their relationship started and how it blossomed. I know the setup is a bit cliché but I’m glad that the author really took the time to let the main characters get to know each other (and let us get to know them too) and not just after the first meeting, poooof! they just magically fell in love. Ofcourse love at first sight could be possible, but it’s good to have something new in your romance story once in a while right?

I also didn’t notice any scenes that we’re done in a hurry and reading this book feels like I am listening to a friend of mine telling his love story. And yep, this story was taken from the hero’s POV. I usually love dual POVs but once in a while, I also like to read a story where it was taken solely from the guy’s POV especially if it’s romance, *wink.

As for the conflict, hmmm, not sure what to think about it actually. Both the main characters have their own set of issues and since Diane (female lead) was in the island waiting for the finalization of her messy divorce, I was expecting that she’s the first one to crack. I was expecting her running away from John (male lead) because she’s afraid to fall in love again and get hurt but it’s the other way around. Good thing the drama wasn’t stretched that long and the two of them eventually talked it out and made up. It’s also good that they both able to address their own issues, especially John.

This story consists of romantic, sexy, and funny scenes which I think were perfectly blended together. The writing style was fine but can’t say if it’s one of my favorites. Overall, Ready to Fall is a pretty good read but it just wasn’t able to make me stay awake at night and suffer from a book hangover.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥. 🌲 



Ça faisait longtemps que je n’avais pas lu de VO et bon sang celui-là m’a fait deux jours : un record. 
Mais je dois dire que j’ai adorée, c’est un coup de coeur et je suis trop contente d’avoir repris la VO avec celui-ci. 
C’est un pov unique, mais un pov uniquement masculin. 


J’AI BESOIN D’UN JOHN DAY DANS MA VIE. 🪵



Il vit paisiblement sur son île avec Babe son chien, sort avec son meilleur pote après le boulot, ne veut pas parler du mot en A. Puis Diane arrive, loue la maison voisine suite à un divorce, elle a besoin de changer d’air, de se concentrer sur elle après un mariage où elle n’était plus elle-même. 

Clairement, ce sont mes tropes favorites du moment, small town, neighbors, friends to lovers. 
J’ai adorée nos deux personnages, John vit tranquille puis l’arrivé de Diane finit par devenir un petit quelque chose de plus.


C’est doux, léger, et d’une facilité déconcertante. Si jamais vous avez envie de vous lancer dans la VO avec quelque chose de fluide, je vous le conseille totalement. 
Il n’y a pas de plow twist énorme, n’y de drame, c’est une romance réaliste, entre deux voisins qui font comme si la tension entre eux n’existait pas, rajouter une dose d’humour et clairement je tombe amoureuse. Ce qui est le cas en l’occurence. 

J’ai clairement hâte de me lancer dans la suite de cette série qui est très prometteuse au vue du premier tome dont je suis totalement fan. 🥹

Diane came to the islands to hide and seek a refuge to get over her divorce. She rented a cabin with only one neighbor it happened she started a fire but didn't open the shutter so the cabin filled with smoke and the fire alarm set off. Her next door neighbor came running John soon found out what was wrong and quickly sorted the problem. Diane was shy at first but thanked John. That was the beginning of their relationship. Meeting again in the pub John and Diane hit it off. They both had old wounds to live with but after a few mishaps they became a couple weeks turned into months and they moved in together John plucked up courage to ask her to get engaged she said Yes and their became a happy ever after story I recommend this book to anyone who believes in love and happiness excellent read.

Es war interessant eine komplette Geschichte mal aus der Sicht eines Mannes zu lesen. Sie sind in Sachen Romantik wirklich einfacher und erfrischend anders gestrickt als Frauen :)
Der Anfang zieht sich etwas, aber ich konnte schnell nicht mehr aufhören zu lesen.
Wenn man auf leichte NA-Romance mit HEA steht ist dieses Buch eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
