Carly es una contadora que, en su tiempo libre, trabaja como estilista personal, su verdadera pasión. Sin embargo, su trabajo no es lo suficientemente lucrativo, lo que la lleva a aceptar una propuesta de su mejor amiga, Sasha, quien es editora de una revista de moda. El trabajo será facil: vestir a Brooks.

Brooks, un hombre adicto al trabajo, ha llevado una vida solitaria y está aún marcado por una devastadora pérdida. Sasha, la hermana de Brooks, quiere convertirlo en el protagonista de una sección de la revista donde él será el soltero que busca pareja, compartiendo sus citas cada semana. Para ayudar a su hermana, Brooks accede a participar, a pesar de no tener ni la más mínima intención de encontrar el amor.

El trabajo de Carly consiste en transformarlo completamente: darle un nuevo estilo, sacarlo de su rutina, y devolverle la confianza. Sin embargo, mientras pasan más tiempo juntos, se dan cuenta de que entre ellos podría surgir algo más que una simple relación profesional. El problema es que Carly no puede mostrar interés por Brooks sin poner en riesgo su carrera, mientras que él sigue siendo parte de la revista únicamente para incrementar las ventas.

I am a fan of Allison Ashley’s books. I don’t think she’s written a bad one yet. If you’re a fan of Abby Jimenez or Katherine Center, you will enjoy Ashley’s books. This one is no exception. Falling into place follows Brooks, a doctor who’s a bit of a loner and still processing the loss of his parents while seeing loss at work in the ICU. His sisters run a local lifestyle magazine and convince Brooks, whom they think is depressed, to be a bachelor on the town for a series. He reluctantly agrees and gets hooked up with his sister’s friend Carly, a personal stylist looking to get a full-time job in styling. Carly and Brooks develop a nice friendship through the styling sessions. This is a great slow-burn, closed-door romance. The story feels very realistic, with the ups and downs that come from adulting and life. You root for everyone, and the author is excellent at creating realistic book boyfriends. This is one to pre-order!

Thank you Montlake, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Brooks hasn't really let himself live for the past ten years but now that his sisters have taken an interest, he's decided to give dating a go and given his lack of style urgent ramifications are needed.

In comes or rather struts, Carly Porter, accountant by day and stylist by night. She has a lot on the line, namely her job with Mode - the styling service, but maybe her heart as well, with Brooks being obliviously handsome, a high school fantasy and oh her best friend's brother.

𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 is a sweet, romantic and uplifting read with a few heavy undertones but funny, witty banter to balance it all out.

Genuinely a cute storyline.
I loved the banter and all the inside jokes made me feel like I was there alongside them.
The romance was a slight slow burn but had the best possible intensity.
Overall, a cozy, worth it read.
