I have a confession to make. I’m in love with one of my employees.Work is my wife and my focus lies on the perfection of my food and becoming a celebrity chef. My name is Finn King. I’m young successful, single, sexy and hotter than anything that comes out of my kitchen. But women and love aren’t on my list of priorities. Not until in walks Hailee Ferris with her smart mouth and flaming red hair. … mouth and flaming red hair. She challenges me at every turn – and I just can’t get enough of it.
She doesn’t believe in fairy tales or happily ever after, she learned that the hard way a long time ago. She’s made it clear that all she wants to do is save up enough money to move away from this small town she’s felt trapped in her whole life. She lied to get the job at my restaurant and I probably should have fired her.
Then one accidental kiss changed everything. It turned both of our worlds, and our plans upside down and nothing will ever be the same. Now my cooking isn’t the only thing heating up the kitchen.
(This book is a stand alone romance in The Men of Evansdale County Series. No cheating, no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. Bonus content included: extra epilogue and sneak peek chapter for the next book in this series)

Find out in “How We Fall” a witty, Foodie tale by Alyne Hart.
I was gifted Alyne Hart’s “How We Fall: A Foodie Romance (The Men of Evansdale County Book 2)” as an ARC via Booksprout, but I’m happy to recommend it to others because it’s an excellent read… You’re definitely going to want to read the entire series, because this book makes you want to know more, More, MORE about the characters involved in the story!! I cannot wait to read the next installment. Don’t miss out because this is a Surefire One-Click! All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given.
Until next time… Happy Reading!
In “How We Fall” Alyne Hart cooks up a hero that’ll leaves you craving a second helping.
Bullied as an overweight child, Chef Finn King has an amazing sense of self. He knows what he wants and goes after it with skilled hands and a heart of gold. Hailee’s disastrous love life has nothing to do with her open-mouth-insert-foot tendencies. It takes more than Finn’s persistence, culinary expertise, and rock hard abs featured on his cooking channel to put herself on the line.
This story includes characters in the Space Between Us, making me ready to dine with the rest of the Men of Evansdale County. Bon Appetit!
This is the story of Finn and Hailey and i loved it.The author has a way of pulling you into the story and i was absorbed.The detailed descriptions of Finn’s cooking had my mouth watering and i was basically hungry the whole way through.It was a great read with fantastic characters and i can’t wait for the next book. I am becoming a huge fan of this previously unknown to me author..
I cant get enough of this Alyne and her characters! She has outdone herself again!
Wow, another 5-star read by Alyne Hart!
This time it’s Dean’s brother Finn’s time to fall in love. And the woman he falls for? Sweet but damaged Hailee Ferris. Hailee comes crashing into Finn’s life when she’s shoved a shopping list by one of the chefs at her new job and told to go to Whole Foods and buy everything quickly and only buy the best because “the king needed them.” Poor Hailee’s so out of her depth, something made quite clear as she’s roaming the aisles at Whole Foods trying to figure out what a dragon fruit is. Thank God for the sinfully sexy man who helps her, right? Or wrong, as the man she vomited out the fact that she lied during her interview to turns out to be her new boss…
But in Hailee Finn sees something special and the relationship they embark on is no flash in the pan, not just destined for some heat in the kitchen. Hailee is seriously damaged, though, and hiding behind walls stronger than Fort Knox. Finn will have to be a superhero to get past them if he wants to keep her in his life.
Oh Finn, sweet, sexy Finn. He’s the real star of How We Fall. He wasn’t the playboy chef we’ve probably all read a million times. He had much more depth and layers than that. Truly a good guy who just fell in love with a damaged woman. Hailee was really frustrating to me, though; at times I wanted to reach through my Kindle and smack that woman! I could empathize with her for what she had gone through; but what she put Finn through was nothing short of ridiculous. Thank God Finn had the patience of a saint and really, truly loved Hailee, otherwise he would have given up on her ridiculous butt when she put the halt on their relationship.
I’m really liking this Men of Evansdale series, can’t wait for Vin and Von next!
Hailee is going to fake it until she makes it at her new job. Being a hostess at a fancy restaurant is just a means to an end. Make enough money to leave this small town behind along with all the baggage that goes with it. What she didn’t count on was the hotness of her new boss Finn King. Before she knew he was her boss, she though he was just a gorgeous, albeit out of her league, guy that helped her at the farmers market. Finn has only had one serious girlfriend his whole life despite how he might appear. Hailee attracts him like no other girl in the world ever could. But Hailee stopped believing in fairy tales a long time ago. Will she be able to let go of all her pain and fear to fall for Finn?
This is my first novel by Alyne Hart and it is not going to be the last. Ms Hart knows how to craft characters that you can lose yourself in. This story was effortless, you couldn’t help but love Finn and Hailee and pray for their happy ever after. Grandma, Georgia and of course, Enzo are just as lovable. Finn is straight up the fantasy for just about any woman with a pulse! He is sweet, sexy, vulnerable, and strong. Hailee is a girl that I think we all have been. Wanting to step out of our lives, escape our past and start somewhere new. I am so thrilled to have discovered Alyne Hart. If you love romances, you have to try How We Fall.
A phenomenal read that will leave your heart smiling. Finn and Hailee are two beautiful souls that deserve their own happiness.
Favorite quote: Finn to Hailee ~ “I’ll chase you forever, I’ll promise you everything I have to give, but you need to let me in and give me the chance to prove you wrong. You deserve to be happy, and so do I. This isn’t how you get hurt, Hailee. Not with me. This is how we fall, so hard and so dangerously beautiful that we lose ourselves and leave our fears behind us.”
What a wonderful book. The author has given us a wonderful storyline that will keep you laughing, smiling and hoping for a happy ever after. The characters in the book are well developed and very down to earth. They have real life problems, lifestyles and dreams with situations readers can relate to. As you follow along, it becomes a joy to hang out with all the characters (the main, supporting and even the flamboyant ones) as they tell their story.
Hailee has had a good life being raised by her grandmother, but as she got older, her choices in men have been less than desired. Now she just wants to get a job, earn enough money to move away from her small town life and start over where no one knows her and her mistakes. A place where people won’t take pity on her. So she lies on her application and gets a job at a posh restaurant as the hostess. Her problem: she doesn’t know anything about the fancy gourmet foods they serve and their world class sexy chef, Finn King, sees right through her. His problem: Finn takes one look and becomes infatuated with everything Hailee.
From here the fun, the laughs and yes the heartaches begin. Both Finn and Hailee have dreams of their own problems of their. Things that most definitely would become even more complicated if they were to let there attraction loose. The author and this wonderful storyline will take you on a wild ride of friendship, self awareness and relationships that you don’t want to miss out on. The story is sexy, flirty, exciting and enlightening. I highly recommend reading How We Fall. I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful 5 star read.
Today I had the joy/ heart crushing pleasure of finishing How We Fall. Joy in this is one of the best books I have ever read and heart crushing because it’s over now. Man that cooks? Hell yes! Hot, sexy, make my mouth drool lean man, Hell f*cking yes! God I cannot say enough good things about this book. Food! Yes please. Sex! Yes pleas! Finn King… He is mine and I am claiming him and no one can have him. He is my go to book boyfriend now.
Alyne has a way with words. I have said it before and I will say it again. Hot Damn, she is what authors should aspire too. She pulls you into a story and you are sucked in. I have one of the worst book hangovers I have ever had.
Do you like food, chemistry, and tears of pure happiness and joy? Then read this book, and NOW!
Finn is focused on his career as a chef. Hailey wants nothing to do with romance after being hurt. But when Finn runs into the new hire, all bets are off. The chemistry between Finn and Hailey are instant. Sparks fly and light ever burner in the kitchen as these two find each other. I loved the interaction between them. The obstacles, such as no interoffice romance, were perfect to give them something to strive for. Every romance that needs work, is always worth it. I found myself always routing for their happily ever after.
Alan Taylor was a great choice for the narration. He brought Finn to life. Alan had a great voice for Hailey. It was easy to follow his narration and get lost in the story. I enjoyed listening to Alan Taylor and hope to hear more from him.
Hailey is the inexperienced Hostess,and Finn the the chef. Finn and Hailey not only the have the kitchen heated up, also their connection with each other. Hailey is holding back her emotions due to past failed relationships. A foodie story that is fun to listen to.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story narrated by Alan Taylor.
