”To the women who've been told their worth is determined by the number on the scale. Fuck the scale and fuck anyone who has ever told you that. You're beautiful. Every single inch of you.”
Holy freaking cliffhanger!! Miss Brittany…ma’am…I don’t know what I’m supposed to do after that ending!!!
Carrie Hale is the walking billboard for strength, resilience, and perseverance. We meet Carrie at quite literally the lowest point in her life. Not only had she discovered the secret world that her dad was involved in, but then she also lost her husband in the most traumatic way possible. In the aftermath after these two life altering events, she found herself held in a facility against her will - indefinitely. Not accepting that fate, Carrie packs what little belongings she has, and leaves her life and everything she knows behind to create her own destiny.
Grayson, lead bounty hunter for Red Snake Investigations, and retired Marine (because if there’s one thing my dad taught me - once a Marine always a Marine), receives a call from someone in Carrie’s past who hires him to find her and bring her home. Grayson overconfidently believes this will be just like any other contract he’s had in the past - locate her, get in, get out, bring her home, get paid. However, once he finally locates her he quickly realizes that Carrie is unlike any mark he’s previously had.
This book made me feel so many different emotions; fear, anger, sad, happy, rage, joy, and most importantly empowered. Despite the cutesy pink cover, this is a dark romance and does include some pretty heavy topics, so please be sure to read the TW’s before reading. Catch Me When I Fall is book 1 of a duet, and also part of an interconnected world with Brittany’s other books. That being said, this can be read separately from her other books as there is enough background information given throughout, that a reader to new to this world (me 🙋🏼♀️) doesn’t feel lost or that they’re missing part of the story.
Thank you Brittany for having me on your team, and allowing me the opportunity to read and review this ARC. I am desperately waiting for book 2!!
