L.T. Kelly was born and bred in Birmingham, UK but has settled for a quieter existence in a hamlet in Lincolnshire. A self-confessed lover of all things romantic, she penned her first two adult romance vampire novels in 2013 having just left behind a Royal Air Force career. L.T. Kelly now works in the legal side of mental health alongside her passion for creating steamy stories, hoping to drag her readers away from the mundane that real life often brings. She is hopelessly in love with her children, boyfriend and wine, not necessarily in that order.
I really don't know what to say in this review. The biggest part of me wants to gush about all the things I loved and rant about all the things/characters I hated (I only hate them because L.T Kelly did her job right and made me hate them) but I know that I can't sit here and spoil the book for you. If you read my review of book #1, FALLING TO PIECES, you will know that I loved it completely and utterly and didn't think another book could match it. But, this book is just as good, if not better. I fell into the story head first. The ease of L.T Kelly's writing style made it impossible not to get sucked in. The journey was one of emotional torment. FTP was enough of an emotional roller coaster that I wasn't sure if my heart could take another beating - but I took the chance anyway, proving I was right - my heart now feels like someone tore it out of my chest, trampled all over it and then stuffed it's broken shell back in my body, barely beating. I love how some books can reel you in and make you feel an emotional bond with the characters. To be honest, I am a glutton for punishment, I like it when the author can make me feel as though I have taken an emotional beating. Well L.T Kelly certainly did that. I was already heartbroken at the end of FTP and it only continued in Falling Into You. This book was written with such passion, it was undeniable. It is so easy to see that L.T Kelly loves her characters and she made me love them just as much. Going into this story, I didn't believe I could love anyone as much as I loved Marc Romano. Well knock me down with a feather, I loved Geo just as much. I don't like books with love triangles as a rule, and this isn't a triangle per se, but I fell in love with BOTH brothers. Geo is charismatic, magnetic, you can't help but be drawn to him because he is beautiful and could charm a woman's pants off without a single touch. I can't gush to you too much about the story-line or the characters, I'd be giving too much away, but you really don't want to miss this amazing book. You can tell that L.T Kelly wrote this book from her heart. She created some beautiful, astounding characters that have left footprints on my heart. The story flows beautifully and with the sneaky little twists and turns, you will never know what's coming until the wind is knocked out of your sail. The good characters are written well, yes, but then so are the bad guys. An authors job is to make you hate certain characters with a passion and oh boy did I hate them. The very fact that I feel this way is a testament to how well this story is written. This story is one of love, lust, betrayal, hurt and so much more. The core of it is that Teagan wants it to be possible for her to be with the guy she loves, but love proves that it comes when you least expect it. Love can be profound and beautiful and can come from a source you least expect. When you stop looking for love, it comes looking for you. Sometimes, what you believe to be love is merely lust, your mind confusing the feelings until they blur into something you pin your hopes on being love, but in the end, isn't really.
I said at the start that this story tugged at my emotions. It made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me so infuriated that I wanted to punch someone. I don't know whether to applaud L.T Kelly for a job well done or maybe want to throttle her for hanging my heart out to dry. She buoyed my emotions up, she battered them back down. She twisted and turned them so that I didn't know what I was feeling. Now that I am done reading, I sat here and cried before writing this review. I listened to the song Falling Into You by Celine Dion, a long time favourite of mine from childhood and I read the last chapter whilst listening. This made it all the more emotionally draining. But at the same time, it made me happy for Teagan.
Each chapter of FIY has a song under the chapter title and it is my advice that you listen to the song before or during the chapter. If you can listen and read, like I did, it makes the experience of this story even better.
Thank you Lucy for the chance to review your amazing books. I loved them both dearly. I will never forget Marc and Geo. The are a part of my heart. Every book takes you away on a journey and this was one I never wanted to end. I was so wrapped up in the walls of the world you created and I wanted to live there, permanently. I know now that these are two books I will read over and over again.
L.T. Kelly has delivered a riveting follow-up novel with Falling Into You. It begins right where Falling to Pieces left off, and I easily found myself lost in the world of Teagan again. L.T. Kelly does everything so right with this book. I absolutely adored everything about it. Even with the characters that I hated, I loved to hate them!
I felt such a connection to this story and these characters. L.T. Kelly has a way of inviting you into her world, and I was in awe. I cannot rave about these books or L.T. Kelly's writing enough. I'm still wondering why one of the larger publishers hasn't come along and snatched her up. These two books are just as good better than some of the big name paranormals I've read lately.
I'm going to miss these characters. I hate to be that person, but I really wish there were more books with Teagan and her world. These characters and this story are worthy of the same treatment that Sookie and Co. got. Whenever I finished Falling to Pieces, I immediately started this one. And I could keep going! But still, this is one of the most satisfying endings to a story that I've read in a long while.
I can only hope that L.T. Kelly will write more. She could write five word stories on receipts and I'd read them! If you're a paranormal romance fan, you must pick up Falling to Pieces and Falling Into You. They are the perfect fit for the genre, and you're truly missing out if you haven't experienced Teagan's story.
**I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review with no compensation.
"Falling into You" picks up exactly where L.T.Kelly's first book "Falling to Piece's" ends. Teagan is on a quest to find her first love Marc, and also wants to find her maker Thomas.(A father figure to her). Her love for Marc has made her desperate, and she feels she is losing her humanity. Her friend Alex is with her and he is also very worried for Teagan, as she has been on a killing spree. He confronts her and she then realizes that what she has been doing, was like the Vampire equivalent of someone throwing a temper tantrum. The Author introduces new characters that were very memorable for me. Some I hated with a passion, and some I loved. One of the characters was Ivan from The American Assembly of Vampires. L.T. Kelly's description of him through Teagans eyes had me howling with laughter. (I hated him. lol) I found it very easy to form a connection with each individual, not mattering if I hated them or not. I found the writing to be flawless, with a nice easy flow. I loved that this book was not predictable, but the plot twists were as complicated and messy just like real life.(except that it was Vampires and Werewolves) The sex scenes were explosive, and at times I was fanning myself. LOL However at one point I had to put my kindle down, because I was sobbing like a baby. This well written story has a little bit of everything in it, and I literally forgot to breath at times. As this book was the second and final one, I found it very hard to say goodbye. The Author did a fantastic job of bringing everything to a beautiful close. I am looking forward to all near future books by this Author. 5 Phenomenal Stars.
First let me say this--- I received a ARC of this book from the author L T Kelly in exchange for an honest review of her book. This is my opinion of " Falling Into You" by her. If you read her book of " Falling to Pieces" You would have found out that Tegan had exchange her life so that so that could be with her soul mate for ever. How ever at the end of the story we find out that he has left to find him self and she is lost with out him. Thomas who is like a father figure to her leaves to find him. In this book Tegan goes on a feeding spree - she wants to do herself in. There is only one way to safe her. And that is with the help with vampires that she does not really trust. But she must. They are all trying to track down Thomas an her lover- but no such luck. And trying to stay one step ahead of Tegan getting herself killed. That's when Tegan realizes what she has done- she has to stop- This story has so much to offer!!! Once I picked it up I could not put it down! I had to keep reading it till I had it finished. Yes- The characters are my favorites, I love how they interact with each other. Oh but I hate the fact that Ms Kelly killed off both Thomas an the lover. But like she said that was what the voices were telling her to do. It made the story !!! Maybe Tegan can come back to us in another story, now that would be special. I give you 10 fangs for this writing- It was very creative, moving, and nail biting!!!!
I received this book from the author and from Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock.
> Falling into You is the second and last book in a serIes and ends with an HEA. The story continues with Teagan searching for Marc, her true love, who left her to find himself. She travels around with her buddy vampire, Alex, under the guise of relaxing, but in reality, is searching for Marc. Teagan starts to turn slightly evil, killing while feeding. She is wallowing in self pity and acting like a spoiled brat. She heads for America, to see Marc's twin, hoping he will lead her to Marc. All the characters you know, up to this point, do a 180 degree turn and become different. Alex disappoints and lets her down. Marc does turn up and is a whole different character, making choices no one saw coming. The twin brother, Geo, is thrown in the mix for purely erotic purposes and then bails on Teagan as well. She ends up reaching out to evil, horny Bartholomew from book 1. In this book, he is likable and not half as creepy as before. I can't go into too much more without spoiling the story.
> This was another short read, but it does end with an HEA. The author could have really just had one complete book. I enjoyed this book so much more than the first book. The characters and their feelings made way more sense. The writing style seemed smoother.
> This book is for an adult audience 18+ due to sexual situations.
I have received this book in exchange of an honest review. This was the first time I was introduced to this series and I think the author is doing a great job with it. I quite liked the characters in this book and the relationships between them. Some of the characters are easy to like and root for while others I could never sympathize with and I think that helps build a great story. Falling Into You is well-written and I think any paranormal romance fan will be able to enjoy this story.

Teagan made plans to travel with her friend Alex. Staying with the plans and trying to figure out where in the world Marc went seems to be a struggle as Teagan is really down in the dumps. A depressed vampire means a lot of bodies will pile up.
“All blood tasted stale since I had Marc’s. All men appeared ugly since I last looked at his face. Marc leaving me was what continued to be wrong with the world. My world, at least.”
“What I’d been doing was like the vampire equivalent to throwing a tantrum.”
When Teagan and Alex travel to New York her world really turns upside down. Meeting Marc’s twin brother Geo will bring a lot of her emotions out. When you are standing in front of a man that looks and smells just like the man that walked away, emotions start to run in overdrive.
“He wants me. He wants to touch me. He wants my body. Fuck! I want his, too. Stop this. He’s his brother, his twin brother. Are you some sort of sick freak? Once is an accident, twice is a habit.”
Teagan’s emotions are running wild with the fear of her maker and Marc being dead along with her new rival vampire Ivan and she calls in help from the only person that she thinks never wants to hear from her again. Meeting some very special people Teagan knows she has to fight for what she believes in.
This book has great twists and surprises that are completely unexpected. Once you think you have it figured out the author goes into a complete different direction. The writing is great. My emotions were equal to what Teagan was feeling at the moment while I was reading. This is a great book for anyone that wants a new and refreshing read into the vampire world.
My Favorite Memorable Moment: Bartholomew taking Teagan to see her family. My heart was breaking for her and making me fall more in love with Barty.
I received an ARC from the Author....And my Thanks to her!....Great sequel! I loved it! I don't like reviews that have spoilers; so I'm just going to say....Read this book! It took me about 2 hours and now I'm left wanting more. LT Kelly is an amazing writer. Loved this book!
