Last week I sat down to read this book and had an incredibly enjoyable afternoon read. This is the second book in the Corkscrew Bay series. I haven't read the first book in this series, and yet I had no trouble bouncing right into this one. The first chapter had some background information that I am sure weaved together this book and the first one, but I had no issues reading this as a standalone.Falling for Alexander was told from the third person perspective so you got a little bit about all of the characters. I will admit, usually third person narratives are not my favourite books. I like to get deep into the mind of one of the characters and experience things as they do but I really enjoyed in this book getting to see things from all angles.This book centres around Kate and her love for her town. She is also the owner of the towns local newspaper. When the castle in town is purchased by an unknown recluse who stops all the town activities that usually took place at the castle she becomes obsessed with identifying the owner and pushing them to open the castle back up to the town, particularly for the annual easter egg hunt.Eventually this all leads her to Alexander... and oh my... he is ... WOW."Gorgeous, sexy as sin, intense, dark, tall, handsome, mysterious... had she mentioned sexy as sin? Alexander had more confidence in his small finger than most men saw in a lifetime and every ounce was backed up with humour, charm, steel grit and lethal pheromones."Seriously this guy is HOT. For as much as Kate can't stand him, her body practically humms with excitement in his presence.I won't give too much away but I will tell you I really enjoyed this book. I liked that they had secrets and how we delved into those, I liked how they interacted with each other, I loved how Kate just kept digging her hole, deeper and deeper :)The author did a great job of setting up the next book in this series, and I will definitely be picking up the first book and the following in this series. I hope you go and read this and enjoy it like I did :)
