Summary
So that was sex, I liked it, I really liked it, thought Mia Page as she tried to recover from an Olympic worthy orgasm. She looked into the vivid blue eyes of sex god Gabe Austin who was still holding her up against her bedroom wall and she also thought shit what have I gone and gotten myself into? Why would anyone only want sex no strings with this guy?

Best friends Mia Page and Lexi Clarke start University and make a pact to turn over a new leaf. Tainted by their pasts, they’re going to try and get over their commitment phobias. Mia’s going to lose her virginity with hot, no strings attached sex. The rebellious Lexi’s going to try ditching her one night stands in favour of attempting to have a relationship.

What Mia didn’t count on however was Gabe Austin, confident, sexy and irresistibly gorgeous, who quickly inserts himself into her life. Inextricably drawn to each other, their desire soon leads to a passionate encounter. Gabe’s fears of abandonment and his domineering personality, along with Mia’s own fears of attachment, threaten to derail his attempts to ensure she becomes his, heart body and soul. Despite Mia’s reticence, Gabe Austin’s a guy who is used to getting what he wants. Just as he seems to have won Mia around, he goes and does something that could ruin everything.

This is a debut fictional novel for C.J. Fallowfield and combines erotica with romance and humour.

The chemistry Gabe and Mia share is absolutely enchanting. The power of their connection exudes magic and it shines through the pages. I enjoy getting the feels when I read a book, thats one of my favorite parts but MAN!! New Leaves No Strings really did it for me!

O-pportunity, maybe his planning was off but Gabe cannot keep the truth of his situation away from her.


S-cared, having a troublesome past Mia doesn’t know how to handle her current predicament but she will follow her heart at the risk of it breaking to pieces.
T-rust, Gabe opens up to Mia letting her in, giving her a glimpse of the darkness that lies within his soul. The past has haunted him for years.
R-estrictions, Mia has made things very clear to Gabe Jealousy is not a suit he wears well she will not stand by and be controlled.

N-ightmare, possessiveness and insecurities have caused Gabe to make an irreversible mistake. It seems he has hurt his love after all.
G-looming, Lexi has come to Mia’s rescue upon realizing his mistake Gabe will also crumble. Broken and lost he doesn’t know how to fix things and that leaves a painful void where there was once joyful happiness.
S-car, things have become too intense for Mia the drama has become too much. The mistrust and hurtful things Gabe has done cannot go unchecked.


GAH!!! Yep you guessed it CLIFFHANGER!!! I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on the next book! Do not be deterred by the cover this book is full of fun and sexy. Ms Fallowfield’s writing is fun and engaging. Standing side by side with Mia and Gabe has been great fun.
