Oops I've Fallen Review

BLURB:

If my time with Ryan Miller were a hit track on the radio, I imagine the lyrics would go something like this…

“We’re so different, but they say opposites attract. Oops, I’ve fallen, and my heart doesn’t want to come back.”

But, holy bingo night, is my attraction to the sexy, broody businessman so much more complicated than the chorus of a song.

His dad lives right next to my mom, and after the two of them suffered an unexplained accident while taking down holiday decorations, both Ryan and I were forced to become the only thirtysomething residents of Sunny Creek Village Independent Senior Living Community.

Temporarily moving in might seem like overkill for a fractured tailbone and a severely pulled groin muscle, but believe me, when your mom is as wild as mine and your dad is as cantankerous as Ryan’s, they need supervision to ensure they stick to doctor’s orders.

Constantly thrown together by the antics of our crazy parents and the tough-as-nails community enforcer, Betty Matthews, Ryan and I formed an alliance for the sole purpose of survival.

But I never expected to be so interested in finding out what he was hiding beneath his grumpy, serious demeanor. More than that, I never dreamed what I found would be the kind of man women sell their souls to the devil for.

Unfortunately, our little one-hit wonder on the airwaves has more to say before it comes to an end.

Although, finishing the outro to this song is a real doozy...

Tell me…what lyric rhymes with Oops, I’ve fallen for my future stepbrother?

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars 

Carly's mom Stella and Ryan's dad Sal both suffered an unexplained accident while taking down holiday decorations, at least that's their story. After finding out Carly's mom has a fractured tail bone she goes to help her around and make sure she doesn't do anything to make it worse. Ryan also moves to the retirement community temporarily to help his dad while he heals from a pulled groin. Carly is a carefree ski instructor and runs her own business, while Ryan is a workaholic. Ryan and Carly keep getting thrown together as they try to keep their parents from injuring themselves further. Even though Carly and Ryan are complete opposites they become co-conspirators while trying to keep their parents healthy and against Betty Matthews who seems to run the retirement community. This book will keep you laughing as you deal with the antics of Stella, Sal, Betty, and Carly. Poor Ryan is just along for the ride in most of the cases.

I thought this was a cute story, but ended up loving Sal, Stella and Ryan the most. At times Carly seemed a little too brash for my tastes, but I grew to like her towards the end of the book after taking care of her mom for so long. Can opposites attract and stay together? What happens when Stella and Sal's relationship comes to light for Carly and Ryan? If you want a funny story that deals with Tiktok. has some similar antics of Golden Girls with a splash of Mean Girls, this story is for you.
