Falling for Fallon

Oak Hill #2

by S.J. Sylvis

Somehow, at the ripe age of twenty-three, I find myself in line to marry a man I don’t love.

I grind my teeth right there at the dinner table as my mother and father go on and on about how proud they are of me, how proud they are that I, Fallon Addington, will no longer be the black sheep of the family and become the daughter they’ve always wanted.

Marry Derek and they’ll finally accept me.
Marry Derek and they’ll stop shoving men from their “social circle” in my direction.
Marry Derek and become the spitting image of my mother; the perfect corporate wife with a face full of make-up and not a hair out of line.
Marry Derek and all the shame and guilt will disappear.

But then… I embarrassingly flash Emmett Lanning my bra and suddenly my parents’ hopes and dreams are burning up in flames, right there along with my heart.

Y'ALL S.J. SLYLVIS IS IN THE HOUSE!!!

I've read everything by Sylvis, but honestly, Falling for Fallon is her best book yet! I totally understand why she kept saying this book was even HER favorite. I GET IT!

I was unsure how I'd like the trope of a rich girl trying to have a little fun before getting married to a man she didn't love. But oh girl, did it WORK! Fallon comes from a world very different than most people, but she was so fun and so relatable.

Emmett is a fan favorite and I can absolutely see why. Okay, okay, he's totally my newest book boyfriend. He is such a good character, someone who truly cares deeply about those in his life. I love the group of friends he has (friend's you'll meet in book one, Chasing Ivy) and the banter her has with everyone, including Fallon.

Falling for Fallon is the perfect read for those who love rom-coms, friends to lovers, angst, and steam. ;) There were parts where I laughed out loud, like when Fallon thought she was going to be arrested and talked about not knowing how to make a shank, I had an aching heart, and lots and lots of butterflies rolling around my tummy.

I am so excited to see what S.J. Sylvis puts out next! Thank you S.J., for giving me the opportunity to read early, and for writing a story that stole my heart. PERFECTION!

This book was beyond amazing. It had me laughing and swooning the entire time. I loved Emmett, he was genuine, loving and had such a beautiful soul. I truly hurt for Fallon and everything she had to go through with her family. This story was deep, it showed personal growth, friendship and passion. There were so many memorable scenes in this book but my top two favorite was the Taco scene and the dressing room scene.

[Claire - The Coffeeholic Bookworm · Rating 4 out of 5]

Conservative Fallon Addington had been raised by her strict parents to be a corporate wife she was entitled to be. They'd admonished her for her wild actions, dictated her every move, even found the perfect man for her to marry. It all seemed too good to be true. But Fallon was having none of it, especially when she didn't harbor any romantic feelings for her soon-to-be fiancee.

Next thing we know, her bra was unleashed in a tattoo shop, a belly button caused her dress to get stuck up, a gorgeous man was beside her in a fitting room, and said man is also found underneath her skirt... Oh and there were those scenes with the tacos, Supernatural, hidden cameras and a self-centered family that Fallon had to deal with.

Emmet Landing didn't ask for Fallon, wasn't supposed to get entangled with a woman already betrothed to another, and he definitely didn't expect to fall for her. 

I loved how this story about a sheltered woman finally found her guts to defy the norm and stood for her right and choose herself instead of just nodding and saying yes to everything that her parents asked her too. I felt bad for Fallon at first because she was under her parents rules. I loved how she brought out her fun, wilder version and found the one who opened her eyes about the real world. SJ Sylvis captured my heart with Emmet's and Fallon's  altruistic characteristics and emotional love story.

I found myself sighing, closing my eyes and reeling with joy after reading this book. A coming of age about love, family, affinities, choices and sacrifices. A new must-read from SJ Sylvis!

Fallon and Emmett have an unusual story. And I like that. I like finding “different” things.
It makes books stand out more.

Emmett was so sweet and all swoony and I wish he was real. I know Kristen Granata loves him but I’m stealing him away from her. He’s mine now!! 😈😂
I liked his confidence. He was a little cocky but he didn’t come across as a dick. And I really like that. 😏

To be honest, I wasn’t blown away with this book but it was good. It kept my interest (which if you know me at all, is basically the entire battle! 😂)

I did feel like it was a little short. I would’ve loved more!
It was a quick and easy read. And I’m looking forward to reading more of the Oak Hill gang!

[Kristen Granata · Rating 5 out of 5]

Emmett had my heart from the first moment I read him! He’s a hot-as-hell tattoo artist who had his heart broken, so he’s guarded. Yet, he’s a kind & gentle soul who would do anything for the people he loves. (Plus, he served tacos on a literal platter to the girl he was trying to win over, followed immediately by a steamy scene — so, I’m sold!) SJ writes love stories with slow & painful anticipation and I LOVE IT. I loved the few scenes with Ivy & Dawson in it, connecting the other characters in her series. There were so many fun moments between Emmett & Fallon’s ride as they checked off the things on Fallon’s “bucket list.” I enjoyed this story so much!

[Candyce Kirk · Rating 5 out of 5]

I remember while I was reading Chasing Ivy, that I kept thinking I want a book for Emmett. He seemed like a bad boy, but I had a feeling there was going to be more to his story and I was rigt! When the author announced his book I was very happy.

Fallon seems to have the perfect life. Her family has a lot of money, she doesn't want for anything, but maybe she does. All her parents want her to do is marry Derek, a guy who fits perfectly in their social circle. A guy who will make their family look good. The only problem is, Fallon doesn't love Derek and doesn't want to become the perfect corporate wife. It's just not her! Except if she does anything her parents don't like, she'll basically be disowned.

Emmett had some issues growing up and doing everything he wasn't supposed to. Eventually everything clicked and he decided to turn himself around. He owns his own business now and has a pretty good life. Emmett hasn't had the best track record with women, but that's not what he's concentrating on now!

Of course, Emmett and Fallon meet and they have chemistry. It's fun seeing them interact and get to know each other. It's simple though, Emmett will help Fallon with her bucketlist, but once that's done he's gone and out of her life. Falling for Fallon has so many funny moments. I think my favorite seen will be of them shopping for dresses (I don't want to spoil, because you want to experience this for the first time while reading). All I can say is that I laughed out loud many times.

I loved how Fallon and Emmett were able to find each other's happy if that makes any sense. Everything felt so easy between them and when they interacted I had a smile on my face while reading this book. I really didn't want their story to end! It was the perfect combination of humor, friendship, romance and some sexy moments!

So that's why I was always annoyed when I read about her parents or Derek. How could you treat your family like that? Not wanting them to be happy? That is something I will never understand. Emmett is so much more of a man than Derek will ever be. I think what I loved most about this story is Fallon finding her happy and becoming a strong woman who eventually learns to choose herself!

On top of that we get to see some characters from Chasing Ivy and I love seeing how characters are doing after reading their book. Falling for Fallon definitely has a special place in my heart! When I was done reading, I definitely had a smile on my face. If you're looking for a romance with lots of humor and amazing romance and chemistry, definitely pick up this book!

This book had my heart about fluttering right out of my chest!!! It was so stinkin' adorable!!! It was the perfect heart-warming read that I needed to get me out of a reading rut.

I definitely saw some of the Notebook vibes in this story and I was all for it. Fallon is from a wealthy family that tries to control every part of her life including who she marries.

Right away, this story stole my heart! The instant I met Emmett I was a goner. Wooo eeee. There is something extra sexy about a guy who owns a tattoo parlor. Maybe it's cause I'm picturing the hot guy from the show Younger.

Emmett was literally book boyfriend goals. When he showed up with tacos, I was legit freaking out. Does it get much more perfect that a hot guy and tacos?! Correct answer: NOPE. Which by the way, this book needs a warning *may cause intense taco cravings.* That's what happened to me anyways.

The ending was absolutely perfect. Yes, it was predictable but I'm totally okay with that. I loved this adorable, heart-warming story with the some blush worthy sexy moments! Prepare to have your heart swoon over sweet Emmett ( plus crave tacos.)

*Thank you so much to the author for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*

[Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg, I ate this book up! I didn't want to stop reading but I also didn't want this book to end. Ever. I couldn't get enough. Hands down, Falling for Fallon is in my top three favorite books I've read this year. Emmett ...gah!!! His big ass heart had me swooning for 339 pages. He was just perfection. The definition of a book boyfriend. So compassionate, he loves so deeply even when he tries to ignore it. He's playful and a little bad in the best way. Sexy as sin. Can we talk about that gala moment with the red dress? Holy hell!!! One of the hottest scenes I've read in a long time. It was fire. I squealed.

But as much as I loved Emmett, I adored Fallon too. I wanted to shake her a little bit but I also wanted to hug her and tell her that she was enough and worthy of true happiness and love. Their chemistry was instant and palpable. I could feel it coming off my kindle screen. It felt very real and natural. They got me good. I was completely wrapped up in this book. I was here for it. Every. Single. Page. This will be a book that I will read more than once. I finished it two days ago and I'm already itching to read it again.

Oh my heart!

Falling for Fallon was an amazing book! The story between Emmett and Fallon absolutely warmed my heart.

Fallon just broke me with all she was trying to do to please her parents. I saw a little of myself in her. Love when I can picture myself, even just the littlest piece of myself in the heroine. I was having some hard times with her choices in some parts but in the end she made my heart happy.

Emmett, oh that big hearted tattoo guy! You can’t help but fall in love with him. He doesn’t show how big his heart is, or at least doesn’t think he does but really with his actions and how he was with Fallon the minute she came into his life....swoon!🥰

This is most definitely a 5️⃣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 book!!

[Tasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

(4.5 stars) I adored this book! Fallon and Emmett are the sweetest couple. They are the perfect balance for each other. Hands down my favorite scene was the taco scene *swoon* come talk to me about it! I need more short stories about them! I wish there was a little bit more of Emmett's bad boy side from before but it was there just much tamer than before, he is just so great!

[Sarah A · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a cute book! The chemistry between Fallon and Emment was so adorable! This was one of the first books I've read by this author and she is definitely now one of my favorites! I love when a romance book has comedy, and trust me this has tons of it! Ivy was so adorable! Honestly if you like romance and or comedy you should definitely check this book out!

I. LOVE. EMMETT. I am totally enthralled in the Oak Hill series, but I definitely love Emmett. I love their banter, I love how he connects with Fallon. Such a feel-good, heart warming story!

[Suey_Library · Rating 3 out of 5]

So I have been pinning away to finally get the Emmett story. Can you blame me? I do so love small town romances and after Chasing Ivy, I was dying to get into this gem! Though I admit, there are a lot of things I loved about Falling for Fallon, there were some unfortunate things I did not...

First and foremost, I obviously need to binge rant about Fallon, I mean she is the leading lady? Not bad, but you know, not entirely good. So Fallon was interesting to me, I will admit this right now, I tried really hard to sympathize for her character. I love a good damsel but honestly Fallon is in fact one of the weakest characters I have read, and I mean this in several different angles. Again, not entirely bad way, but just not good. I understood her personality, the push for this so called 'arrange marriage', the pressure of acceptance from her family, the overbearing hindrance she puts on herself to be this do good people pleaser personality. All of this however came across completely annoying majority of the time. Any time Fallon had any ounce of backbone, it was shattered. Her character was rather predictable if I am being honest. She also depended solely on not just everyone around her for acceptance but bottom line, her entire growth was based around Emmett's interactions and reactions. I am not saying I didn't enjoy her character, but overall she sent me into a tizzy on more than one occasion and for the life of me, I could not sympathize nor could I connect with her. She was bland and entirely too inferior. 

Something that really peeked my annoyance level mostly with how Fallon's surrounding build was that of her actual home life, her mother, father, brothers and her sister in laws. It was too much of this privileged, extreme almost way too exaggerated outlook on the rich life. Fallon and her supporting characters had this bubble which seemed rather forced in a lot of aspects to help aid in the plot of how Fallon's life was so different than the common life of Emmett. 

And speaking of Emmett, oh how I enjoyed him the most and yet, even his character irked me. He had such a great personality mix from Chasing Ivy, I loved how he was in his circle of friends, he was charming and cute. I will also admit that I was slightly waiting for this other woman drama, but at the same time glad this was only a half mention to his resistance, it played out well for his internal struggles. The parts I did however not like were how he treated Fallon. Don't get me wrong, I liked their chemistry, but I will get to that more in a bit, what I disliked was that at some occasions there was a smidge of peer pressure when he kept saying things like being on the fly, enjoying one another. He was extremely clinging which made him seem rather rebound romance. 

On top of this, I know, back to the actual chemistry, Emmett and Fallon were basically this insta-connection. It had some underlying twists of to me, what seemed slightly toxic but nonetheless, cute. They really depended on one another to see the good in each other and themselves. Again, Fallon really depending on Emmett's character for her growth, and majority of their romance was built on the acceptance of one another. It was cute as it was passionate and yet rather closed and signaler mindset romance. 

Overall, really entertaining read, it was fast and enjoyable at least, even with putting my pet peeves into the mix I still really enjoyed Fallon and Emmett. Again, they had a really cute and fun build towards their romance they just, at least in my opinion, were very dynamically driven for the romance and growth of the novel. 

I am really curious to see what comes next in the Oak Hills series!

GIRL I AM CALLING DIBS! EMMETT IS MINE AND I WILL NOT SHARE HIM!

At that point, I wasn’t even gasping for air. I was gasping for her.

I am in love! This was so good and Emmett is my dream man. He will make you swoon and charm the pants off you with just one look and at the same time make you feel he would be just as happy with just talking to you all night and never getting some action because you are what is important.

He was so patient and understanding of Fallon's situations where I think many would have been angry and frustrated early on. He just made her feel like she was perfect just the way she was and she should always just follow her heart.

My heart goes out to Fallen all the way through this book. My heart hurt sometimes with how much pain she was in and how trapped she felt. But I loved how you could just slowly see her bloom throughout the book and my chest slowly started getting filled with hope and joy the more I read.

Emmett’s mouth left my breast, and he pulled back to stare down at me. “I wanted this to go slow, but I just can’t wait anymore, Fallon.” I nodded my head feverishly, my eyes wide. I spread my legs out far, indicating that I wanted him just as badly as he wanted me. This was the best sex I’d ever had, and we weren’t even doing it yet.

I loved the first book in this series but I promise you this book is even better! It just got me hooked from the start and I couldn't stop wanting to know more. They were both a little mysterious at the beginning of this book and that got me curious about what they were hiding what would I discover? You also got to see a little of all the people from book one and I love that I got to get glimpses of all of there lives too throughout this book.

So are you looking for a book that will take your soul hostage and will maybe squeeze you a little just so you know it got you all the way through the book. A book that will make you laugh, feel hope, joy, hopelessness, pain, love, and friendship this is your book.

I have been waiting for Emmett's story ever since I first met him in Chasing Ivy - Oak Hill Series Book #1 (but no...you do not have to read these books in order). I'm just going to lay it out there and say that Emmett is my dream guy...he's charming, a huge flirt, confident, a bit of a bad boy...AND he's also loyal, protective, passionate, and not afraid to go after what he wants. Sigh...every single time he opened his mouth, I swooned a bit more over him.

I was grinning like a school girl from the first scene when Fallon & Emmett meet. It is unconventional, their chemistry is electric from the start, and they are both so completely themselves and natural that I think their relationship was always destined to evolve from their immediate connection. I loved that they were just so comfortable with one another from the start.

Emmett brought out the best in Fallon, and I wanted to yell and scream at her some times because she would recognize that Emmett "made her feel alive", but then she would continue to doubt herself and was afraid to pursue her own happiness. Fallon was a bit frustrating at times. I loved her in the moments she was with Emmett and cringed every time she went back to pleasing her family. I just knew deep down this girl had more fight to her.

What I did love the most about this book though is that it's easy to read, it's easy to fall for this hero and want to cheer on this heroine...and keep cheering her on! Emmett & Fallon will make you laugh, sigh, swoon, yell a bit, and leave you breathless with their passion and love for each other. I found myself wanting to be Fallon and run away with Emmett to wherever he would take me! He is the highlight of this book...and you will love the secondary characters as well who are just as charming and fun. If you like small-town, steamy romances, then this one is for you!!! Well done once again SJ Sylvis!!

I purchased this book from Amazon to read. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Falling For Fallon by S J Sylvis. I was so excited to go back to Oak Hill and see what Ivy and Dawson were up to, but this book was about Dawson's brother Emmett. Emmett owns his own tattoo parlor and one day an interesting socialite named Fallon drops by to get her belly button pierced and true to his bad boy form Emmett takes her out for drinks, only we all know it can't end there. 23 year old Fallon is struggling to live the life her parents expect. Fallon's parents expect her to marry a corporate yuppie and Fallon is afraid of being cut off from her family. So as her family spends their time planning Fallon and Derek's wedding Fallon finds herself sneaking off like a teenager to be with Emmett and his friends before the vows are taken and it's too late. Emmett and Fallon both know this can't be permanent but for now the arrangements work. At least until Fallon has to make some big decisions that will effect everyone but there is no better time than now to choose happiness. You have to read it if you read Chasing Ivy because Dawson and Ivy's future changes I this one too!

[Falguni Jain · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is the second novel in the Oak Hill Series, but can be read as a standalone.

The story is about Fallon, a girl from super rich family, who falls in love with a guy from Oak Hill, Emmett, who is the brother of Dawson (protagonist from book 1 of the series). Hence new characters are introduced in the second installment of the series while keeping the characters from 1st book intact.
But this doesn't require the reader to go through the 1st book before reading the 2nd one.

Though the story was predictable, the writing style was brilliant. I really enjoyed reading the story. The emotions that came with the book were raw and real.

I really enjoyed how the honestly the dillemas of Fallon were shown throughout the story.

The book takes the reader on a journey of a forced arranged marriage, family drama, friend turned lover, all whilst trying to learn to choose oneself before others. Making yourself the priority is not selfish, it is healing.

The book was a fun read. Though slow initially the author was able to keep the reader hooked with quirky characters and captivating dialogues.

Definitely recommended if you are looking for a light romantic comedy or a rich girl and not so rich guy kind of story.

Happy Reading!!

Wow, I loved this book! I wasn't sure how easy it would be finish "Chasing Ivy" and start "Falling for Fallon" the very next day because I can sometimes have a hard time transitioning to new characters when I've fallen in love with the original ones, but this worked out so perfectly. This book gave me just enough of Dawson and Ivy to help with the transition, and we got to see more of their love story unfold!
This book tells the story of Fallon who so desperately wants to please her parents, that she's willing to give up her own happiness for it. I loved how much Fallon's character grew throughout the story. And holy cow did I love Emmett! I didn't know how I'd feel about him when I saw he was the main character, based on the knowledge we get of him in the first book. But his character growth was amazing too! Fallon and Emmett both work through some big things, and also make the reader laugh along the way as well! So far, my two SJ Sylvis reads have been so fun! I'm looking forward to more! (hint hint, Max and Becca.. ;) )

* I was gifted a copy via Facebook but am leaving a voluntary and honest review *

“But I don’t care if I get hurt, and I don’t care—for once in my life—that I’m being totally selfish right now. I’m being selfish with you, and I just don’t care, because there’s just something about you that pulls me in, Emmett. You make me feel alive. You make me feel like me. Calling you a friend is just a way to keep you at bay, but it’s the complete opposite of what I’m feeling."

WOAH! It's passages like this that reel me in and keep me hooked. I loved this story so much.

It was a little different compared to the books I have recently read, but in a great way. Emmett and Fallon really do have to fight for their happiness and it had ALL THE FEELS.

"The heart didn’t care about the minutes passing on a clock. The heart didn’t care how many days the sun had set. The heart just didn’t care."

My heart is full after reading this and I am grateful for finding a new author to add to my list of favourites.

*Thank you to the author, Ms. S.J. Sylvis for approving my request to read this eARC, in exchange for an honest review. This is a spoiler-free review, therefore every thoughts, feelings, and opinion about this novel are solely MINE. *

This is the second novel of the Oak Hill series, this time featuring Dawson's brother Emmett. While working on his tattoo shop, he met his customer, Fallon and things between them start to simmer.

It is summer over here and I completely understand why I feel extra hot while reading this novel. I will try to refrain myself from spoiling too much but I completely understand and even cracked up about the taco and dressing room scenes. I like how Ms. Sylvis create her characters and their scenarios based on actual events (I live in Asia and very much familiar with "rich people events" such as arrange marriage and family expectations. I'm only familiar with my culture so I cannot say much about Western ones). She made it felt like her characters are real because as a reader, I can feel every emotion seeping through the pages. Her writing style is superb. I love also the character development of Fallon. I may not relate to her character but I can understand her feelings especially if you want to please your parents.
RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
Ms. Sylvis has did it again! Again, I have fall in love with the story and the characters especially Emmett (sizzling hot overload!). Super highly recommend that you put this as your top read this summer. Emmett won't disappoint you, I promise (cue "Nelly's Hot In Herre" in full volume!).

I've been patiently waiting for Emmett's story like since forever ago. Ladies, get ready to majorly swoon over this guy. Like, heart eyes galore.

Fallon has been raised a certain way, the "proper" way, high society, which is what her family rotates around, and that is definitely not Emmett. Emmett and Fallon have a pretty meet cute. There is definitely something they're both feeling about each other, and he wants to figure her out.

I enjoyed their story. Emmett and his walls breaking down and wanting Fallon in his life. They're both falling hard for each other, but she is set to marry Derek, the guy her family wants her to marry. I was feeling so sad for Emmett, he was feeling so much for this girl, and he really didn't have the power to stop her from making a mistake. This was really a sweet, Fallon frustrating, steamy story in the Oak Hills crew. I'm looking forward to the next one! The authors writing is getting better and better as she goes.

4.5 stars.

I feel like a lot of people have been waiting for this. I’ve been waiting for this. Emmett is seriously one swoony son of a gun!!! Crossing out the bucket list one by one, the TACOS (don’t even think that scene wasn’t the coolest).

This book has some interesting theories and issues... add the exploration of the two different lives of Emmett and Fallon made this more interesting. More dangerous. More fun. The boy from the wrong side of the tracks catches the girl from the high rollers!! I DID want to give Fallon a little kick in the butt lol I wanted more oomph from her because Emmett was giving her the swoons on full blast!!

I enjoyed the progress of the story... but give this a chance because you don’t want to miss out on getting starry eyed over Emmett. It’s getting better and better so looking forward to the next one....

Fallon has lived her entire life pleasing her parents and avoiding her true self. This even includes agreeing to an arranged marriage to a man she does not love. But Fallon is at peace with this life, that is until she meets the handsome, tattoo artist, Emmett.

Suddenly, Fallon questions her life, her decisions and her future.

This is a sweet love story between two unlikely people who are not supposed to interact in the same social circle. The plot is fast paced, romantic, and will leave you wanting to finish the book quickly.

I loved Emmett and I do wish there was even more backstory into his past. I enjoyed reading about the other secondary characters that were the main characters in Chasing Ivy. It all felt familiar and brought a sense of comfort.

Overall, a great romantic love story!

[Jess · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everything involving this book was absolute perfection. Fallon and Emmett were perfect together and I adored their relationship so much.

Fallon was such a different characters from others I read and it made me love her endlessly. She was so kind hearted and selfless when it came to pleasing others. So many times I wanted to shake this girl and tell her to stop and grow a pair.

Emmett is the opposite, he knows what he wants and he goes for it. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks and he’s a truly good person!!!! He really brought out the best parts of Fallon and I loved him even more for getting her to open up.

Overall this book had everything going for it. It was funny, was a fantastic slow burn and the chemistry was 100% there. I’m so glad I started reading SJ Sylvis’s books because now I’m hooked

This author never fails to suprise me. I follow her closely on instagram and love, not only her books, but her posts too! She's such an amazing writer and she needs way more credit than she gets. Her books ARE amazing. Falling For Fallon, I think, is her best book yet. I've seen her grow as a writer as I read each book and she should be proud.

Sylvis brings you Emmett and Fallon and oh my, you are left thinking about them a day later. The angst, the love and journey these two characters go on and the expectations of Fallon are all done beautifully. I loved this book so much and I cannot wait to read her next release!

If you haven't already, hop onto this girls train and get reading her books, you won't regret it.

This book introduces us to Emmett and Fallon. Emmett is a care free tattoo artist with a humble background and an envious confidence , which he uses to help Fallon grow and choose what matters most to her. Fallon comes from money and with that has high standards and societal expectations to live up tom, ones that she has been avoiding until now. On a chance meeting, they connect and sparks fly. But with this unexpected encounter comes complications, sacrifice and heartbreak. Along the way they learn about themselves and each other and have to choose between; love, family & self happiness. This was a quick read and really entertaining.

SJ Sylvis has done it again! She has written another amazing book!

Fallon is feels stuck in what her parents' think is the perfect life for her. She is set to marry the perfect guy and become the perfect corporate wife. Then she meets Emmett and realizes there just might be more to life than making other people happy.

I LOVED this book! I fell in love with Fallon and Emmett pretty much immediately. I felt so much with them throughout this whole story! I laughed, cried, and nearly threw my kindle across the room. I got some serious Lorelai Gilmore vibes from this story as well. I can't even describe how much I loved this amazing book!

Two words, ladies. Taco. Scene.
That scene is so sweet, and cute, and funny that you will just melt into a puddle of all the feels!!
And that is just ONE of many incredibly swoony and humorous scenes in Falling for Fallon.
I absolutely loved the chemistry between Emmett and Fallon! The playful flirting, the forbidden tension, the way he becomes her safe place—her haven from the storm that is her life.
Fallon is lost and desperately reaching for the right direction, and Emmett leads her to discovering what is right for her—and only her.
It’s a beautiful book that will have you giggling, and swooning, and soothing your aching heart all at once!
