GR's Summary:
Roxy's loved Reece Anders since she was fifteen, so when the straitlaced cop finally surrendered to a steamy encounter years later, Roxy hoped he'd fall for her, too. He didn't. Or that's what she's always believed. But then Reece storms back into her life when the man who injured her childhood friend is out of prison and wanting to make amends—something Roxy cannot do.
The last thing she wants is to go there with Reece again, but he's determined to prove to her that he's exactly what she needs. Especially when a sick creep starts messing with her. But what's more dangerous to Roxy—a psycho after her or the past that refuses to let go and allow her to open up her heart again?
My Thoughts:
I love all of the books in the Wait for You Series. Each of these stories has touched my heart completely, and the characters mean a lot to me. I have empathized with them, related to them, and grown to love them. They feel so real to me, and in between each book in the series, I find myself missing them!
In Fall With Me, we get Roxy and Reese's story. Roxy is a talented artist, who attends college part time for graphic design, and works as a bartender at Mona's bar. She shoulders a lot of guilt from an accident that left her best friend, Charlie, in a long-term care facility. She visits Charlie every Friday, brings him paintings, talks to him about her life, and reads to him.
Reese is a dedicated police officer that is part of the swat team. Growing up, Roxy and Reese were neighbors. Roxy has had a crush on Reese since she was fifteen and he was seventeen. About a year ago, Roxy and Reese finally hooked up. However, due to a misunderstanding, and Roxy avoiding Reese, they haven't talked.
Then, when Henry, the man that was responsible for Charlie's current state, is released out on parole, Reese approaches and warns Roxy. He also lets her know that he has feelings for her, which changes things between them. As Reese and Roxy embark on a relationship, Roxy fears getting her heart broken. Will Roxy take a chance on love, or let it slip through her fingers? To top it off, Roxy's life is put in danger by a creepy stalker....
Fall With Me was an excellent story. It made me feel so many emotions. My heart broke for Roxy and having to see her best friend Charlie, as a shell of the person that he used to be. I admired Roxy's strength, love, and loyalty. I felt horrible for the guilt she harbored, and wanted to reach through the pages and make her feel better. Reese was an excellent male lead. He was very strong, protective, and heroic. Yet, he was also very sweet, nurturing, and compassionate. He was self-confident, but not cocky, and was very sexy. The moments Reese and Roxy shared were sweet, meaningful, romantic, and red hot!
The suspense of a serial rapist, as well as Roxy's stalker, added a lot of suspense to the story. The storyline kept my attention as I was trying to figure out who could possibly be staking Roxy. It was such a treat having Cam, Avery, Jase, Teresa, Jax, and Calla grace some of the scenes in Fall With Me. I love these characters so much, and couldn't get enough of them!
My Rating:
I give, Fall With Me, by Jennifer L. Armentrout, 4.5 Sexy Swat Officer, Scary Stalker Suspense, Swoon-Worthy, and Sensual Stars! Read the Wait For You Series for an amazing set of addictive stories, phenomenal characters, and sultry sexy times!!!
My Favorite Quote:
"I'm scared, too. And there are times I question what I deserve, but we're in this together. So fall with me, he said, smoothing his thumbs along my cheekbones. 'Let yourself go and fall with me, and baby, I will catch you.' " (pg. 321)
~Reese

ReplyDeleteI adore this book! The quote you picked? Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis is a series I haven't gotten to start reading yet, Lindy, but it's been on my TBR for a very long time. I'm glad it's still going strong, and that the characters are important to you - that's what makes a great story, in my opinion.
