A Not So Fictional Fall is a delightful and heartwarming romance that beautifully blends the marriage of convenience trope with a unique twist. Pierre, a charming French romance author, finds himself unexpectedly tied to Tasha, his super fan, in a plot that’s both sweet and endearing. Their journey from strangers to something more is filled with tender moments and lighthearted humor, all while keeping the romance clean and wholesome.

Though part of a larger series, this book can easily be enjoyed as a standalone, with a satisfying happily ever after that leaves readers smiling. Savannah Scott’s engaging writing and lovable characters make this a perfect pick for fans of feel-good romances.

The audiobook was read by Tyler Hyrchuk who read the part of Pierre and excelled at his French accent. Then Amanda Friday read the part of Tasha and she is just always an excellent narrator and a good choice for any audiobook.

Thank you to the author Savannah Scott and NetGalley for the audiobook.

I think i would have enjoyed this more if not for the female narrators voice. Every line she said made her sound confused, unsure, or embarrassed. I also found their relationship a little too perfect, too amiable.

I might give this author another try in the future, but not in audio book form.

It was a delightful read!! I loved the beautiful narration and could feel the ancipitation, romance, laughter and all the emotions while listening. The most memorable part for me is the love confession and their entire wedding ceremony carried out 😁 The protagonists were adorable and the distinct diversion between the two cultures was memorable ❤️

I loved the concept of this book and will most likely read it physically but the audiobook was not great. The female narrator was wonderful and I would’ve continued to listen if it was just her but alas it was not. The male narrators ‘French’ accent was so comical I thought I was supposed to be a joke until a few chapters in.
Sadly this audiobook was a DNF for me because I could not get past the poor male narration.

What happens when a Bookstagramer meets her favorite author? What happens when she meets Mr’s up marrying him just so he can stay in the country and finish his book tour?

This book is so fun!! Definitely a great fall read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I giggled frequently throughout the book. It was light, easy and fun. So much chemistry between Pierre and Tasha. It was a wonderful marriage of convience story and was written extremely well.

This book was so good! The romance was so cute and the male narrator had a great French accent and the whole book was so entertaining!

I listened to the audio version of this book, it’s a pleasant enough story that leaves you feeling good, but with no major surprises. I also found the male narrator lacked any expression in his voice and narration, but maybe it was due with him having to put on a French accent.
Thank you to NetGalley for letting me review this audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When you have a French MMC, you need to listen to an audio. Thank you Tyler Hyrchuk for nailing the French accent! I loved every second of this audio, not only was the story great, the chemistry was phenomenal. I even felt the angst our MC's were feeling when they started to realize their feelings were real.
Amanda Friday is one of my favorite voices and I loved her spirit while she narrated for Tasha, bringing out all the feelings and emotions so as I listened I could feel them too.
Listening to this book was an amazing experience!
And then you know you'll have laugh out moments when you read a book by Savannah Scott, I just love the humor she always includes in her books.

This was a closed-door romance, loaded with chemistry, humor and many emotions with it's marriage of convenience trope, french accents and happy ever after.

If you are looking for a cute fall romance after your book loving heart, look no further. This is a marriage of convenience romance involving a French author and his American fan. Best part? It opens with a book bestie meet up!!!

I had such a great time listening to this book! A great story that caught my attention.
A story about marriage of convenience written in such a lovely and beautiful way. I loved how Pierre was with Tasha and how gentle he was with her. He needed Tasha just as much as she needed him. These two were like two peas in a pod. A great love story that deserves to be heard, so if you want to enjoy a great book don’t hesitate. You’ll love it! 😊 ❤️

I loved this title and everything about it. The storyline was a reader's haven with all the bookish content! The main characters are wonderful, I really liked them both! One is an internationally renowned romance author writing under a female pen name who decides to reveal his true identity on his North American book tour for his newest release. The other is a book reviewer/influencer/audiobook narrator who loves Amelie's books and is thrilled to meet her on tour! Of course, things happen and she doesn't find out the big reveal alongside most people. Once she does find out, its in the most humorous and endearing of ways, which catches the eye of Pierre and starts their familiarity. When Pierre's agent notices their attraction to each other, he schemes up a plan that involves a marriage of convenience and thus the beginning of a lot of fun. I listened to this in one sitting, I simply didn't want to put it down. There are many characters in this book that added to the story for me. They were loveable and unique. I also enjoyed the narrators, I felt was if their voices were what the characters would sound like in real life. This was the first book I've read by Savannah Scott and I will read more based on it.

I loved this book! It was such a fun listen. The narrators did such a great job bringing the story to life. It was such a sweet love story and I love the how the marriage of convenience trope was handled in this story! I am a sucker for a story with characters in the book world and I loved that their meet cute was at a book event. So cute! Ultimately, I would definitely recommend this audiobook to others!

I enjoyed this story as an audiobook. This story is narrated by Amanda Friday and Tyler Hyrchuk. I love the dual narration and felt so immersed into the story. Both of these narrators fo fantastic with their French and the French accents. I could truly tell the difference between every character and just let myself drift into the story without having to concentrate on who was talking.

This is a dual pov, closed door romance. It is part of a multi author series but can be read as a stand alone novel. It is also the book that is associated with “He’s So Not My Valentine” and I recommend reading this story first. I absolutely adored this story. Pierre and Tasha have such a natural pull to them. They are so easy going around each other and make amazing friends (that eventually may lead to more). I thought Tasha and her booksta besties was such a fun part of the story because it’s a nod to the amazing community we have on bookstagram. I throughly enjoyed this marriage of convenience and was laughing so hard at the antics these two pulled with Pierre’s sisters (IYKYK). Definitely a must read especially to get you in the fall mood.

I absolutely loved this story. Tasha and Pierre were so cute together. The banter was fantastic and the book was light and funny and just what the needed.
I loved the dual narration. The narrators did a fantastic job.

A Not so Fictional Fall

Narrators: Amanda Friday and Tyler Hyrchuk
3.5 stars

This was a cute, clean, Fall romcom. Tasha gets to finally meet her online book besties at a book convention. While there, she meets her all-time favorite author, Amelie De Pierre. Only, it turns out that Amelie is a pen name used by author Pierre Toussaint, a good-looking French man who caught her eye in the lobby. And well, the cuteness frowns from there.

The two narrators did an excellent job and Tyler’s accent adds the perfect touch to this small town, fall romance. I plan to go back and listen to the other books in this series.

Thank you Victory Editing Net Galley Co-op for this ARC audio in exchange for my honest review.

Book Title: A Not So Fictional Fall
Author: Savannah Scott
Narrated by: Amanda Friday & Tyler Hyrchuk
Format Read: Audiobook

A Not So Fictional Fall is a lighthearted romance filled with nods to the Bookstagram community and plenty of charming, laugh-out-loud moments.

Tasha, a dedicated Bookstagrammer, attends a signing event to meet her favorite author, Amelie De Pierre, only to discover that the real writer behind the books is actually the dashing Pierre Toussaint. When Pierre publicly reveals himself as Amelie, his female fans are quick to flirt and fawn over him, but it’s Tasha’s down-to-earth nature that catches his eye. Thanks to a bit of luck, Tasha ends up joining Pierre for a private dinner, where they start forming a genuine connection. As fate keeps throwing them together, Pierre's visa issues prompt an unusual solution: a marriage of convenience with Tasha to help him stay in the States. Despite her growing feelings, Tasha agrees, and the two set off on a romantic journey that’s anything but fictional.

This book was a fun tribute to romance lovers and the Bookstagram community, complete with scenes that had me grinning and nodding along. It has some memorable, laugh-worthy moments, like Pierre hiding behind a plant. Or him trying out American phrases like “you do you,” which had me cracking up. Tasha is relatable, and the whole setup feels like a dream scenario for anyone who loves book signings and has ever fantasized about meeting their favorite author. Overall, it's a quick, enjoyable read that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Narration: I had mixed feelings about the narration at first. In the opening chapter, the female narrator’s voice felt a bit nasaly, and I wondered if it would affect my enjoyment of the book. Thankfully, she found her rhythm quickly, and by mid-chapter, I was fully immersed in her performance. The male narrator, with his dramatic, romantic, sexy French accent, really amped up the charm, and I loved the stark contrast between his accent and the American voices. It added a nice layer to the story and made it even more entertaining.

Overall Impressions: A Not So Fictional Fall is a fun, easy read that’s perfect for anyone who loves bookish romances and quirky meet-cutes. If you’re in the mood for something light and heartwarming, this one’s definitely worth a listen!

Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the advanced reader copy.

I feel guilty for not enjoying this book more. I listened to the audio book version and the male narrators fake french accent for the character of Pierre just made me cringe. It was sooooooo creepy and smarmy, ugh, I did not like that at all. Otherwise it is a fun premise and a fun read about a marriage of convenience that turns to true love. I'm sure I am in the minority with my opinion because I feel this story would appeal to many, many others. Despite my complaint about the narrator I still recommend A Not So Fictional Fall by Savannah Scott for a light fun romantic read. 3 stars.
Many thanks to Net Galley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for a chance to read/listen to an ARC audio book version of this novel.

A Not So Fictional Fall by Savannah Scott is a delightful romance that perfectly captures the essence of a cozy, feel-good story. The plot revolves around the charming and unexpected romance between the protagonist and her favorite romance author, Pierre Toussaint. The twist of discovering that her idol is not who she expected adds a refreshing layer to the narrative.

The audiobook version truly brings the characters to life, with excellent narration that enhances the emotional depth and humor of the story. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, and the slow-burn romance is both heartwarming and engaging.

If you’re a fan of sweet, clean romances with well-crafted characters and a touch of humor, this book is a must-listen. It’s a perfect companion for a cozy afternoon, leaving you with a smile long after it’s over.

I read this book last fall when it first was released and absolutely loved the characters and their storylines. When the opportunity came to listen to the audio book I jumped at the chance
I loved that there was both a female and a male narrator and that they took on the narrating of each respective gender. I've listened to far too many audio books where a male attempts a female voice in narration and it impacts how I view the character and hear the story.
