The Goode Girls of Maple Lane: New Fall Romance
The Goode Girls of Maple Lane by Jacqueline Firkins is the perfect choice if you are looking for Heartwarming Fall Romance Books. Is this the perfect heartwarming fall romance for you? Let’s find out!

Review of The Good Girls of Maple Lane
Cameron is struggling to balance vet school and her part time job. If she wants to succeed, something has got to give.
The very last thing she needs in her life is a) a high maintenance senior foster dog who needs to lose weight and regain mobility and b) a romance.
But she can’t say no to Aggie the Golden Retriever OR her cute neighbor.
With the help of all the formerly standoffish neighbors at the Maple Lane Apartments (who might just become her new found family) Cameron tackles this new challenge…. and might even fall in love in the process.
This book has a medium amount of fall vibes, with cozy sweater and fall foliage, but a high amount of adorable canine charm.
The spice level is medium, which is perfect for a cozy fall romance.
The romance is very sweet, with a brief second act misunderstanding that gets worked out!

I generally enjoyed this book, but the character whined about her student loans too much. The dog and her journey was fantastic!
Loved the dog plot!
