After sharing on a local podcast about her brother and sister-in-law’s unsolved murder, a familiar face resurfaces on a night out. Is it coincidence or has she just painted a target on her back? Why is he suddenly back now? Find out in this multi-POV thriller romance. Looking for time jumps, flashbacks, and a past that refuses to stay buried? This is for you.

All I can really say is thank you. Thank you for a dark romance with a good, realistic plot. Thank you for a morally gray man that is actually morally gray and not a walking felony. Thank you for (really good) spice that doesn't drown out the story line. I cant wait to read more!

Gritty and Emotional

Clear your schedule, I inhaled this in a 24 hour period! Its so engrossing and has all the right tension. Its amazing what HR Delano can do with a story where a lot is laid out so early on. It doesn't rely on twists and cliffhangers (there are some) it relies on a sweeping narrative of character arcs and dramatic revelations. At times it was totally new to me: dark romance akin to crime/mafia, but not. At times I felt a gentle and welcome reminder to the Mind F Series. Just *chefs kiss.*

*maybe spoilers after this line*

The descent into Nes and Roy, the interspersed chapters of other perspectives, and finally, finally, a love that's so comforting it feels unreal. Cade is such a complex man and his love is so real in how it effects both of them.

Delano has a really gentle touch with regards to PTSD and how its shadow is strength and resilience. Both tangled together in contrasting proportions. I'm a little scared to read Bloodline after everything but lord knows I will!

The Fallout pulled me in from the very first page and didn’t let go until the end. The writing is sharp and vivid, with characters that feel real and complex. Every chapter left me wanting to know more, and the twists kept me hooked. Beyond the suspense, there’s a lot of heart in this story, it’s about choices, consequences, and the strength it takes to face what’s broken.

I found myself thinking about the book long after I finished it, which is always the mark of a great read. If you enjoy books that keep you turning the pages late into the night, The Fallout is a must. Highly recommend!

Read this book as a paperback after going through my wifes bookshelf, didnt go into it with a whole lot of expectations. The book was really good a getting my Adhd ass to stay entertained with how it jumps between thiller and suspense, then all of the sudden BAM SPICY SCENE. I was like ohhhh thats what these book girls being reading in public. Honestly great book would recommend.
