Summary

The moment we meet, it’s all downhill.

My job is providing happiness and smiles at Honeywood Fun Park, and Emory Dawson is the frown our park didn’t ask for.

When our star roller coaster malfunctions with me on board, the manufacturer’s heir and lead engineer, Emory, vows to renovate the attraction. So instead of having a fun summer season as Marketing Manager for Honeywood, I’m now saddled with playing host.

Wonderful.

Emory is the opposite of a good time. He’s the grump that won’t stop grumping, and our arguments escalate quicker than my heart rate after a roller coaster’s fall.

He knows I can see right through his broody gaze and big ideas. Repairing the coaster? More like overhauling his own company’s reputation, regardless of whether it helps our local theme park.

But when our firm handshakes start lingering too long, or when his muscled thighs rest against mine under the table, I’m thrown for a loop.

Most roller coasters are fun, but I’d like to get off this emotional one, please.

Review

From the jump, All Downhill With You had a difficult task to complete. At sixteen, Emory Dawson had designed a ride at Honeywood and twice while riding it, Lorelei had gotten hurt on that ride. And now, she was suing his family’s manufacturer company. This book had to sell a love story between them.

It made sense for her to hate him, and given their first interaction, he didn’t do much to change her opinion of him and his company. And given their complicated history and the present lawsuit going on between them, I was intrigued to see how and why they would fall in love. Unfortunately, after they kiss, a flip is switched, and they both do a one 180. I was looking for a little bit more build up between them two. The lawsuit isn’t really focused on a lot.

Also unfortunately, I felt that development wise both main characters were lacking. And a lot of the supporting characters were forgettable. I had trouble remembering who they were, their relationship to the main characters, and what they did. However, I did like how most of them worked at the park.

Final Thoughts

All Downhill With You takes place in a charming theme park with a decent romance that does feel rushed at times.
