Publisher's Summary:
Unloved and unemployed. That's Elaine Svoboda, after she's sacked, then flees across country to her boyfriend who drops her flat. Teetering on the abyss of disaster, she calls an old friend who invites her to a tiny mountain town with fresh prospects. There she meets rugged, hunky Joe Richter-Leon, mayor of Falling Rock. Maybe he can help her find a job. Maybe they can become friends, even share romance. Sparks fly immediately, but major obstacles make a new life on the ashes of the old appear impossible. Joe's consumed with challenges like the dismal local economy and an impetuous sister. Elaine butts heads with him at every turn in the rocky road. Is the problem her bungling attempts to help? Or does she remind him of a greedy, selfish ex-wife? Before they can build a new life on the ashes of the old, she must overcome a few obstacles like a broken ankle, an eating disturbance, his stubbornness, and her own fears. She's smothering her hopes when a battle with a forest inferno illuminates their true feelings and desire. Funny and frank, poignant and perceptive, when two people are Falling Like a Rock, they learn surrender sometimes means victory.

You'll fall in love with this one
Once again Bonnie McCune has written a witty novel full of the emotions and turmoil of life. She approaches sensitive human circumstances with care and assurance making the characters real and believable.
Elaine Svoboda finds herself in Falling Rock, a small mountain community, without a job, recently dumped by her egotistical boyfriend, and fearing sheâll never measure up to her familiesâ expectations. One thing Elaine does have going for her, is her honesty.
She digs into the community, secures a grant for a health program and wins the approval of Mayor Joe, the town hunk, who she has been at odds with since first introduced. But in an effort to meet his standards, she throws her honesty out the window and lies to him and their relationship crumbles.
When a fast moving forest fire breaks out and they both pitch in to help, the danger makes them realize what they've come to mean to each other.
The vivid descriptions of the Colorado high country and the heart pounding terror of the fast approaching fire makes this a highly recommended read.
Glad I read it.
I enjoyed this fresh story.Elaine feels she is less than perfect, and because of these feelings of insecurity, she resorts to an eating disorder. Anxiety to prove herself causes her to be dishonest with people she really cares about. After arriving in a town called Falling Rock, she heads a campaign to aid people with weight issues but tries to hide her own problems with bulk. Most of us women can relate to Elaine and her lack of self-confidence, and many of us struggle with the bathroom scale. This book has romance, a fire disaster, and some good tips for weight control. Falling Rock will not disappoint.

Elaine's tragedies pile up, until she has to decide who she is and what she sees as true for her. Along the way she falls into a paradise called Falling Rock, and meets some true friends, including her own true love. I'm glad this was the outcome since she could have perished into the many pitfalls that kept arising. She overcomes spectacularly.
