Plot
Julia is just a small-town girl from Nebraska who loves her peaceful life. But when her elderly next-door neighbor—who just happens to be a secret multi-millionaire—leaves everything to Julia and her family after his passing, Julia is swept away to live in a historic brownstone in New York City and attend an elite private school for the super-rich. It should be a dream come true. Wrong. Julia doesn’t fit in at her new school; worse, she’s failing. Enter Damion, the mysterious and handsome tutor who will get Julia back on track. Except Damion has a secret. He is the great-nephew of the man who left everything to Julia’s family. Damion doesn’t buy for a second that the person who was like a father to him would leave his home to strangers. And he’s determined to prove it.
To uncover the truth, Damion schemes to earn Julia’s trust. Not an easy task with Julia unsure about this rich boy with a rebellious personality. But the more time Damion spends with Julia, the more his plan begins to backfire. Because he is falling for the enemy—and the enemy is falling for him. As Damion and Julia figure out where they belong, can they see past their differences and act on their feelings, or will the trust Damion has worked so hard to gain fall apart?
My Review
I’ve been wanting to start reading Lynn Painter’s books for a while but just haven’t had the chance to until now and of course I loved it and now want to read all her other books. This book takes place in a dreamy New York during autumn. It’s so easy to visualize the city and the prep school and immerse yourself in the world of New York upper class. The change that Julia and her family went to with getting the money and moving to New York was a big change for them and you could tell how hard that was for Julia. It was so easy to sympathize with her and just want to help her through it all. Damion was a more complex character with the way his reputation is and how he thinks Julia is the enemy when she isn’t. I loved seeing him slowly realize who she really is and start to fall for her. This book was so sweet and I loved Julia and Damion’s connection. I rate this book 4/5 stars and recommend it to anyone who likes opposites attract, tutor/student, and big city boy/small town girl romances.
And that’s the end of my Trust Fall by Lynn Painter book review. If you read this book let me know in the comments and if you loved it as much as I did. If you’re looking for other books to read check out these reviews: Rose Hill series, A Summer Of Stars, and Just For The Plot.
