Can Great Love be coaxed into existence? Is true romance a matter of happenstance, or does it derive from some kind of magic? These are the questions at the heart of this enchanting, endearing, and life-affirming novel.

Cupid is on notice. His boss, Jove, has just announced that he's downsizing the heavens and has deemed Cupid's job expendable. After all, in these wired days, a love god seems quaint and pointless. Cupid manages to buy a little bit of time by asking for one more chance to show that he can orchestrate a love for the ages . . . but the clock is ticking.

Down on Earth, former ballerina Eve Golyakovsky is living a quiet life in Vermont, tending to her maple sugar business. She dearly loved her late husband, a famed choreographer, but more as a mentor than as a spouse. She's never been truly touched by romance, and she's okay with that. Evan Cameron is a well-known anthologist with a penchant for fine automobiles and commitment-free affairs. Love has threatened to visit him on occasion, but he's always managed to keep it from taking up residence. When Eve and Evan meet, there's something almost otherworldly about their connection, and they reach each other as none ever has before. But Great Love is about more than attraction, compatibility, and fascination. And when their budding romance is tested, old habits and new fears seem likely to choke this flower off at the roots. A love this intense might be more than either of them can handle – and more than even Cupid can nurture.

At once heartwarming and wise, funny and touching, HOW TO FALL IN LOVE is a love story for the ages and one uniquely suited to our times.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Move over, Romeo and Juliet, Burton and Taylor, even Baby and Johnny― here come Evan and Eve! Their tale―a daringly simple, utterly fresh love story―made me laugh and made me cry.” -- Linda Gottlieb, Producer of Dirty Dancing

“How to Fall in Love: A Novel is as fast-paced as a good thriller, and as riveting.” -- David Morrell, Author of Brotherhood of the Rose

“How to Fall in Love: A Novel has its lovestruck eyes wide open. There is Divine Intervention in this beautifully written story, but the outcome is up to the mortals. A sexy and soulful novel. My tears took me by surprise.” -- Joanna Gleason, Actor

“I have fallen in love with How to Fall in Love: A Novel. It is a fable that is the very thing a fable should be: fabulous.” -- Patricia O'Toole, Author of The Five of Hearts

"From the coolest ever Greek God Eros arranging a high-stakes match, to the hottest of mere human eroticism, this is a brilliant, fun, and romantic journey--complete with: literary anthologies, life as a ballerina and as a maple sugarer, and even classic Porsches. All of it woven together seamlessly. An inspiring enquiry into falling in love. And I did." -- Samuel Shem, Author of House of God

I love a well-written novel. In these cynical times, I'm so game for a sophisticated and fun read. Here it is! The surprise is it proves to also be a deep, intuitive and moving take on what happens when two adults with "stuff' meet and fall in love.
It left me in tears. Get it!

Exactly the kind of delicious novel needed right now. It is filled with pure charm and grace--plus a twist
that proves that love may not always run a smooth course but with a bit of help from the gods, the road
to get there can be smoothed over.

I loved the premise of this book. The characters were so vivid. I could visually identify with them and could see this as a movie. Falling in love can be complicated but Eve and Evan prove over some problematic detours it can be done.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delicious read for the beach or the plane
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

It's a delight to spend time with these sophisticated, witty, been-around-the block lovers, whose well-honed defenses nearly keep them from obeying their hearts, minds, and bodies. Add in the distance between California and Vermont, the sexual heat, some near-disasters, and a treacherous ex, and you're kept in suspense until the surprisingly moving last pages.

A great gift for Valentine's Day, for him and for her.
Funny, poignant, absorbing plus, surprise, a romantic book for guys too.
A wise non-polemical (phew) take on relationships in 2019. Beautifully told and compelling.
