This was such a cute read and I absolutely loved it! The characters were relatable and I did feel connected to them, I loved watching them grow and discover each other.

Thank you NetGalley and the author for a eARC. I found this book to be adorable with lovable witty characters. This is a face pace hockey romcom with no spice. We follow Parker and Logan who you childhood friends but grow apart after Logan ghost her to play in the NHL. After an unfortunate injury and a mishap with a fan Logan finds himself playing semi pro for his hometown team where (shocker) Parker works as a contest creator! The romance was clean and very cute and I found it to be entertaining! This is a perfect book to read for the fall time!

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I call this type of book the comfort food book. You just feel cozy and happy reading it. I it's a fun read that you don't want to put down, and you fall in love with Logan as much as Spencer does. I did indeed sign up to read about the honeymoon because I didn't want the relaxation to end .

Thank you to Emma St. Clair, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

A cosy romance with likeable characters. Parker is an interesting heroine and Logan is ... Logan. He's a somewhat mysterious, withdrawn athlete who only loves Parker.

They fell into each other's arms quite quickly, despite not having seen each other for ten years, but the author had said there would be very little angst, so I expected that. In fact, I was a little annoyed when Parker started jumping to conclusions without talking to Logan about it. The monologues where she assumes Logan's feelings weren't really necessary.

I found that the story moved quite quickly despite being 330 pages long. The fake dating and brother's best friend tropes were engaging. The plot doesn't really focus on hockey and I thought it was a shame that we didn't get to see more of the other team members because we don't get attached to them and their overprotective behaviour is a bit of a turn-off, as we don't really understand why.

It's still a lovely, cosy autumn romance, with no real drama.

First thought: Sweet feel good second chance hockey romance that is binge worthy. It has fun canter, goofy ticktoks, fake dating, childhood crush and grand gestures that everyone will love!

Parker is the daughter of a tech mogul who wants to control her life, but she left the world of comfort to forge her own path and works as a social media manger for the local hockey team. But this new season is going to be rough as they are getting a new player sent down from the NHL and he happens to be her childhood crush and brothers ex best friend.

Logan signed into the NHL at 18, leaving everything behind without a goodbye. He has had trouble being a team player and after his last injury and a fight with a fan he landed himself in the minor leagues back in his home town. His agent also left out his contract includes social media which he doesn’t do, first day he meets the team social manger and to his surprise it’s his ex best friends little sister who he has always had a soft spot for. But man she’s grown up and is no longer his little Pete.

This is a fun story that throws Logan and Parker into a fake dating situation to get her out of a setup by her intrusive father. However fake dating leads to both wanting more but afraid to ask for it. This is a clean closed door romance that everyone will fall in love with.

Tropes you’ll find:
* Hockey
* Fake Dating
* Best Friends Brother
* Childhood Crush
* Closed Door

Logan Barnes gets knocked down from the NHL and is stuck playing for the Harvest Hollow minor league team. At his first meeting, he realizes that the teams social media manager is his ex-best friends little sister who he left with no words when he went to the NHL. Parker and Logan will have to work together a lot and with some pressure from her dad, Parker admits that Logan will be her date to his birthday party and they end up fake dating. Will the be able to keep it as a fake relationship or will it turn to more?

This was a cute hockey romance that also had a brothers best friend trope. Parker and Logan had lots of chemistry and I loved the involvement from the rest of the hockey team as well. This is a closed door romance, but the building chemistry is still 100% there! Such a sweet story.

What a treat! So many things to love about this book. From Logan's attentiveness to Parker's feisty nature, it was all such a treat.

He was so sweet to her. The Fancy Chair in Parker Pink colour 😂 a date including a visit to the bookstore, roping in his teammates for sweet gesture of his love for her, all so she could know that they're so good together it doesn't make sense that they're faking it.

I loved that even though the higher-ups didn't value her, the players themselves held her in high regard. I mean, the hazing that Logan fell victim to when they discovered there was something between Logan and Parker? Hilarious 😂 I wonder how he looked in a crop top and biker shorts 🤭

She had never been kissed before, and so I loved how Logan wanted to do right by her. The almost-kisses were to die for. The chemistry and all the tension was superb!

Logan came to the team with all his grumpiness and apprehension since he was back in the town he had left over a decade before without notice to his two closest friends, Parker and her brother Brandon. I loved seeing him come into his own with the Appies players. Parker definitely made it a little bit easier for him 😄

I loved the Easter eggs hinting at the books to come in this series. I'm ever so excited to read the rest! We don't have fall in my country, but I'm definitely in Sweater Weather mode 🍂

Thank you to Netgalley and Publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Just Don't Fall is available now!

This was my first book by @kikimojo, and I almost finished it in one night. I stayed up until after midnight reading it! I didn’t want to put it down—but I have 3 kids to homeschool. So I did the grown up thing and slept, but trust me-it was under protest!

This first book in the Sweater Weather series was the perfect introduction to Harvest Hollow.

Logan has been labeled hockey’s “bad boy,” and Parker is everyone’s favorite social media content creator. And they have a past together. Not a romantic past-at least not on Logan’s side. But one conversation with Parker’s dad changes things.

There’s fake dating, brother’s (former) best friend, hockey, a gala, sweet gifts (hello, Fancy Chair!), a never been kissed storyline, nicknames (I loved these!), grand gestures, and the best protective hockey team that feels like family.

Logan was so thoughtful and kind, but not at all a pushover. I loved the scene at the gala. It showed that he respected Parker and her decisions without making them for her, but also let the other guy know that he wouldn’t be backing down (or away from Parker). 😍

I enjoyed that we got to see different sides of Parker. The “Boss”—in command and so sure of herself. Then the vulnerable side-the one not so sure that Logan would want her. Parker was a great character!

The chemistry between the two main characters was everything you want in a romance. The banter. The amusement. The tension. The almost kisses. Everything.

I’m so glad this was my first introduction to Emma St. Clair. I will be reading more!

Content warning: Sweet closed door romance. One pretty descriptive almost kiss. Parental neglect.

Fun, sassy, sexy and full of pink post it notes. This was just such a good read. Fully of extroverted hockey players, a psychotic cat and a sizzling romance that bumps up and down all the way to a very cute epilogue.

To start this review out, this is very much a closed door romance. If you are looking for a very spicy hockey romance you are not going to get that experience here. While I normally go for a spicier book, I absolutely loved how wholesome this book was. Throughout the entire read I never felt that I was missing something and I loved every moment while reading this story. The main characters are so lovable and the entire time you are rooting for their love story to come through. I felt the extra characters around the story, the hockey team, did not take away from the story but made you love it even more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good sports romance but is not afraid to read something a little less spicy!
Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for access to this ARC!

Love! This was such a sweet rom-com book. I loved everything from the ornery cat to the quietly supportive maintenance guy. The team of hockey players had such great personalities and I wish the Instagram account Parker ran was a real thing. I'm thrilled hockey romances are a "thing" right now and they make for fun reads.

I liked this book. Logan was so dreamy, that man was perfection, I loved him. He was so attentive, caring, funny, loving, everything. The moment he realized his feelings for Parker, he was all in, he never, for a second, thought of giving up, even if she didn't feel the same way as he did. The grand gestures, the small things, the things he said, that man was swoon worthy, I want one for myself. Parker, well I didn't like her very much for one simple reason, she didn't communicate with him. While the man is trying to see if she feels the same way as him, she tries as hard as she can to hide what she feels. And she couldn't stop with the fake talk, like it was getting on my nerves. That man deserved everything in this world after what his family and other people put him through, and here she is, not doing much better. I just wanted her to talk to him instead of jumping to conclusions all the time, I think he deserved that at least. But overall, ot was a lovely book and I loved this couple

Ok so first of all I LOVED this book, it was amazing! It’s a five stars book, I wasn’t expecting my self to like it THAT much. One of my favorite reads of this year THATS for sure!! I am really glad I got to read it. Logan and Parker were everything, and the character’s growth and development was amazing. The plot line was just WOW! I live sport romance and I know for sure I will be recommending this book on my socials! I am writing this review on the 3rd of September and my review will be posted on the 4th of September, the author will be tagged too!

I am such a sucker for a sports romance Just don't fall is a super cute no spice hockey romance. Perfect for people who want all of the romance but none of the smut. I would say I wouldn't have minded a little bit of spice - we only get kissing and fade to black. But the story itself was super cute and I loved it

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 5 stars

Just Don't Fall is a closed-door, never-been-kissed, old-friends reuniting hockey romance,

Parker and Logan go way back; all the way back to their childhood. When Logan left abruptly, not even telling Parker or her brother, Brandon, goodbye, Parker was heartbroken. Years later, Parker is sitting in the same minor league hockey team meeting with Logan, although he doesn't know it yet. Logan was recently downgraded from his NHL team, is recovering from an injury and an incident with a fan, and is back in his hometown as part of the Appies organization. But he didn't expect Parker to be part of the Appies organization or his recovery. Logan and Parker quickly reconnect and begin a 'fake' dating/relationship to help Parker with her family. The longer the 'fake' relationship goes, the more they both secretly want to remove the 'fake' title. Will Logan and Parker be able to open up and share how they feel? Will Logan's hockey career be a deal breaker? Will Parker get a goodbye or a heartbreak if Logan leaves again?

This was the sweetest rom-com I've read in a while. Closed-door isn't my usual pick-up, but this one still gives all of the feels without the open-door scenes. The 'tell me how you would kiss me' scene after her father's gala was everything!! Who knew an almost kiss could bring goosebumps? I also love how the team truly felt like a family and how Logan recognized the team was a big part of Parker's life. The way Logan involves his teammates in his grand gestures and in social media-worthy ways fits so well in this story.

I can't wait to pick up the next book in the Sweater Weather series and to check out more by Emma St. Clair!

5 ⭐️
A hockey romance with zero spice??? This book was a certified cutie patootie and I’m now in love with Logan Barnes.

Parker is the quirky social media manager for her local AHL hockey team. When her brother’s estranged ex-best friend gets transferred to The Appies, a couple of white lies quickly turn into her gathering the strength to pursue her childhood crush.

Absolutely adorable. Absolutely loved it. The cozy read of the year 💕

Thanks to Net Galley and Create If Writing for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

I received this ebook as an ARC through NetGalley, and I am so thankful! This book was the perfect book for me this week!
I love a clean romcom that still gives me butterflies.
If you love a great cheesy Hallmark movie, this might be the book for you! The build up of feelings and the flirting does so much more for me than romance novels with so many “descriptive details”, if you catch my drift.
In this book we get a big brother’s best friend, childhood crush, haven’t seen each other in years, fake dating, hockey romance where Logan is a big shot hockey player and Parker runs the social media department for the team.
Parker’s insta feelings made sense to me because she has always had a crush on Logan. Logan’s insta feelings kind of threw me off at first, but once I read further I feel like he always had feelings too and just didn’t realize what kind they were.
This was a cute and cozy book, and I can’t wait to read the other six stand alone books with this multiple author collab of 7 stories that all take place in the 1 town of Harvest Hollow.
This was the perfect book to kick off the “ber” months!

Just Don't Fall is the first of the series "Sweater Weather". I believe the series is interconnected standalones. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I rated this a 4 star read! I couldn't put this down. I was looking for more Hockey/Sport Romances to read and this was just cosy autumn/fall read.

What to expect:
- Brother's Best Friend (former bestie)
- Hockey
- Never Been Kissed
- Fake Dating
- Small Town
- Childhood Crush

A very heart-warming story. Parker was absolutely adorable! Logan was extremely patient with her and I love him for that. Considering I read a lot of spice and dark romance, it was very nice to read a book where there was just kissing and nothing else. Very refreshing, a great filler book for in between heavy reads. When I review stuff I don't like to give too much away with what happened so I will say that I was giggling and smiling most of the way through. I will be reading more from Emma and I hope to finish the series this book belongs to. I definitely recommend to everyone who enjoys the tropes I mentioned above. Sweet and swoon worthy!
This was also my first Emma St Clair novel, so happy I decided to ask to read this book. Thank you so much for the eArc Emma.
I genuinely cannot wait to read more.

Just Don’t Fall is the first closed-door romantic comedy in Sweater Weather, a connected series by various authors. Each week an author will release their book, which can be read as a stand-alone.

25-year-old Parker is working for as a Social Media Manager for her hometown’s minor league hockey team, the Appies. She is underpaid and unappreciated by management, but the players love her. She lives in a tiny apartment, and is determined to be independent of her wealthy, overbearing father and passive mother. She is surprised when her older brother, Brandon’s, childhood best friend and hockey buddy is sent to the Appies from the NHL. Parker idolized Logan but he ghosted her family when he was drafted into the NHL at age 18.

Logan Barnes is unhappy about being back in Harvest Hollow while he continues to recover from an injury. Brandon and his adorable younger sister, “Pete” Parker, were the only positive things in his hometown growing up. He is stand-offish and isn’t friendly with his teammates. He doesn’t want to participate in any publicity for his new team, but his contract requires it. He offers to attend Parker’s dad’s birthday gala as her date in exchange for her allowing him to appear in the background of some team videos, instead of front and center.

Parker has never had a real boyfriend, partially because she was a competitive figure skater as teenager and then her strong unrequited feelings for Logan. She has never kissed a man on the lips and now has anxiety about it. Logan seems to be developing real feelings towards her, but Parker knows his time in town is short. In addition to dealing with Parker’s family, Logan also has to work around his overprotective teammates.

This is the fourth hockey romance that I have reviewed lately and it’s definitely the best! Logan and Parker are both wonderful characters and the chemistry between them is magnificent! There are too many good quotes from this book! Just Don’t Fall is the kind of closed-door romance that readers dream about: a great story with sizzling chemistry between the main characters but no profanity or graphic sex. I really hope that that the author writes Felix’s story next. I plan to read the books in the Sweater Weather series as they are released.

After I purchased a paperback copy of the book from Amazon, I received an Advance Review Copy (ARC) e-book from NetGalley and the author for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
