Review – Just Don’t Fall by: Emma St. Clair

Before Logan Barnes was hockey’s hottest bad boy, he was my brother’s best friend … and my first crush. Oh, yeah–and the guy who ghosted me and broke my teenage heart.

Now Logan is back in Harvest Hollow, but not willingly. Recovering from an injury (and some bad press), he’s stuck playing for our minor league team. Which means I’ll be working with him almost daily. As the hockey team’s social media manager, it’s my job to wrangle all the guys into filming TikTok trending videos. But Logan doesn’t want to be wrangled. Turns out … neither does my heart. Because my old crush never died.

And when Logan becomes my accidental fake boyfriend, those old feelings flare hot enough to melt the ice. But this is all totally one-sided. Totally fake. Isn’t it? No matter what signals he seems to be giving me or how real things start to feel, I know Logan’s not home for good. I survived Logan leaving me once. But this time, I’m not so sure my heart will recover …

Just Don’t Fall is a small town, closed door hockey romcom with all the fake dating, brother’s best friend vibes. You’ll get smoking chemistry and characters to root for but NO spice. (Yes, you read that right–a low spice hockey romance.) Perfect for fans of sports romance who want a less heat.

I absolutely could not have adored this book more if I tried. I was constantly highlighting lines while reading. Just Don’t Fall is yet another perfectly woven book from Emma St. Clair. It has the humor, the hockey, the tension, and just all the feels!

With our MCs, Logan and Parker, both have so many qualities to fall for. It is absolutely a childhood friends-to-lovers romance and they are so meant to be. Parker embodies that girl next door feel (literally and figuratively) plus her personality screams bubbly and sweet which I love to see. Then on the other side with Logan, even though we see somewhat of a hard past, he is all-around such a good guy.

Just Don’t Fall has so many humorous lines too… I was laughing constantly while at the same time screaming for Logan and Parker to fall in love. Absolutely loved this one from Emma St. Clair. I highly, highly recommend and cannot wait for the rest of the sweater weather series!
