Hawaii was the last place Grace Christiansen ever imagined she’d vacation, much less fall in love. But when her family surprises her with a cooking retreat in paradise, she is pulled—or maybe yanked—away from her predictable, safe life and thrown headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime.
Max Sharpe may make his living on the ice as a pro hockey player, but he feels most at home in the kitchen. Which is why he lives for the three-week culinary vacation he takes each year in Hawaii. Upon being paired with Grace for a cooking competition, Max finds himself drawn to her passion, confidence, and perseverance. But just when Grace dares to dream of a future beyond her hometown, Max pulls away.
Wrestling with personal demons, Max fights against opening his heart to a love he knows he should never hope for. And as his secrets unfold, Grace is torn between the safe path in front of her and what her heart truly desires. If love means sacrificing her ideal happily ever after, Grace’s faith will face its toughest test yet.

MY REVIEW
When I Fall in Love by Susan May Warren is book three in the Christiansen Family series. It is a nice story that I enjoyed. I like how Max and Grace became friends and how their relationship sweet, but a different kind of love story.
Grace is a very loving, charming kind of person that takes no one for granted. She is always putting everyone ahead of her and likes to fall in the background. She feels like she never wants to leave home and never wants to be away from her family.
Max is a very highly strung person who doesn’t want anyone to get to close to him. He wants to protect others and also himself.
Both Grace and Max love to cook and find themselves going to the same cooking vacation. They become partners on the vacation and find out that they really are quite comfortable being together. Will Grace overcome her shyness and will Max open his life to new adventures?
I enjoyed this book and recommend it. I think you will like it.
