Having so enjoyed the first two books in this fabulous Danver series, it was with high hopes that I started talented author, Sydney Landon's,
Fall For Me.
Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, her uncanny humor, and sensitive handling of difficult subjects.
Surprisingly, the handsome sex-god Hero, Nick Merimon, didn't want to fall in love and leave his bachelor ways behind him. This only surprised me because he came from such wonderful, loving parents, and had recently watched his brother's love induced transformation from alone workaholic to content family man. However, he did thankfully realise, that he had something special in his relationship with delightful, yet guarded Beth Denton.
In the first chapter, Beth shared with her sassy sister Suzy, that she was pregnant and that Nick was the father. However, we also learnt, that due to Beth's incredibly deep self loathing, she didn't believe she could be loved by swoon worthy Nick. She tried desperately to maintain a detached heart, and simply enjoy Nick for as long as he would be around. (and I must add here - enjoy him she surely did!!!! Phew!)
Fall for Me touched on many deep issues. Self esteem, loss and even the responsibility of parents to think before they speak. All was provided within a funny, sexy and believable story, with the requisite HEA that we romance readers require. I thoroughly enjoy Sydney Landon's writing style, and cannot wait for more. Suzy often provided well-timed and laugh-out-loud comedic relief with her quirky wit, and of course, Nick has joined my impressively long list of book boyfriends. I mean, why wouldn't he? He can bake Red Velvet chocolate cakes!
If you haven't read the first book, Weekends Required - get it!!! Having just finished Fall For Me, I cannot resist going back to the start again. Loved the characters. Loved the stories. Enjoy!
