Furious

Falling For Them #2

by Melissa Adams

Love is more fun when it’s Furious.


Love, passion, secrets and… blackmail.


Star Cove was supposed to be a fresh start for me but no matter how fast I run, trouble seems to always be hot on my heels.


Keeping the real nature of my relationship with my stepbrothers secret is way harder than I bargained for.

But my three forbidden men are competing from my heart and they expect me to choose just one.

Trouble is I can’t.


And I wish that was my only problem.

We aren’t just keeping secrets from our family and friends, it turns out that we’re keeping secrets from each other, too.


Old and new enemies are out to get us in a town where just owning a motorcycle is outlawed. The only way to be free is to ride faster than anyone else.

But will we ride into the sunset or crash and burn?


Our secrets have the power to destroy us as long as they can be held over our heads.

Will the truth set us free or be the end for our town, our families, our love?

Furious and secrets

Love this world....it's fast-paced and full of so many secrets. Of course, they will not stay that way and it seems like everyone is hiding something.
Must be in the water at this college? Loved it and can't wait for more...

The truths are starting to come out in the second book of this motorbike drama with Footloose vibes series. Zara and the guys are getting closer but everyone is keeping secrets. Ares broke my heart, Chance made me laugh and Lev is holding everyone together. Although after that ending, the dynamic is about to shift again as the fallout will be real. There are some definite obstacles before these guys get their HEA.

Ugh to Cal and Topher 2.0; these frat guys are the worst. And the jury is out on Heather; there is something just not right about her. I understand she was very young when Atlas died but it seemed he liked her a lot more than she liked him and the way she keeps trying to insert herself back into the brothers lives seems off. I'm definitely keeping an eye on her in book three.

My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read

What a ride this book took me on! Starting from where we first left off in book 1 and going straight into it. Zara has solidified a relationship between Chance and Lev and things are looking up up up! But Zara holds a secret. It’s a pretty big secret. A secret that could tear everything apart. Especially the blooming relationship she is forming with Ares. There’s some steamy moments but it doesn’t detract from the overlying story of this whole underground, illegal motorcycle racing scene and just Zara being a regular college girl with 2 boyfriends and trying to add in a 3rd. Can’t blame her though. Ares is just smoking hot. The thing I wonder though, is this thing with Heather. I feel there’s some drama brewing. Like it is sitting there, ready to explode. I’m so excited for the final book!

Wow, Melissa definitely knows how to keep us on our toes. This story was amazing, and I loved how Zara, Chance, Lev, and Ares became closer, but unfortunately, there's a secret between them just waiting to come out. but that's not all. Not only is there the risk of being found out from their family, but theres the risk of an illegal race going on and the guys finding them selfs in a right pickle. Along with a familiar face on the seen, who's a right creep and out to cause trouble. But I loved how the characters grew and Revealed so much more about them self with some which was heart felt. Like Ares, as he talks about the loss of his brother. And boy, dose Melissa know how to keep us on our toes with that dynamic ending, which definitely had me asking more questions like who Is this mystery guy and will they be able to get past the secrets and have there happy ending.

I have read every single book by Melissa and love every single one, but I think this one is my new favorite!

Furious is book 2 in the Falling for Them trilogy. This is a why choose stepbrother romance.

I want to be the FMC in a Melissa Adams book so bad 🤣

We pick up right where we left off in Fast and Melissa takes us on a ride! Chance, Levi and Ares will have you swooning so hard and falling for them so fast. I adore all 3 of them and I loved seeing the relationships with Zara grow and become stronger.

The secrets guys!!! It's never good to have secrets and this group has A LOT 🤣🤣 AND THAT ENDING!!!! I NEED MORE SO BAD YOU GUYS!!!!

If you haven't started this trilogy yet, you really should!!!

[Trish Bannister · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fantastic read from Melissa Adams! Furious, the 2nd book in "The Falling For Them" trilogy, intensifies everything about book one. I loved watching Zara get to know Chase, Lev, and Ares on a deeper level was a treat; and as their feelings strengthen, the heat between them becomes undeniable. Lev's steady presence and big-picture thinking make him Zara's rock. Chase is a thrilling mix of intensity and fun, and their collective chemistry is simply off the charts!! Ares, is the slow burn of the group, and proves to be just as combustible when he and Zara really connect. And be warned: the ending will have you gasping and and desperate to dive straight into book three! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

[Nora · Rating 5 out of 5]

Furious is the latest book by Melissa Adams and you are not prepared. I know I wasn't. I love that the story starts right where Fast left it at and now we get to see what happens. Zara is now secure in her relationship with Chance and Levi and things are looking good but of course things are under threat with a secret she's holding to herself. Can she stop things from falling apart? The steam is nice for sure as I expect now with this author. Also her relationship with Ares is maybe growing and Zara wants to add to the harem but we'll see what happens. Great storybuilding as always and I can't wait for the next book.

[Megan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is another hit from Melissa Adams. This book starts right where Fast leaves off. It is full of steam, action, and speed! The relationships that started forming in book one are starting to become more settled, and while there's some jealousy (to be expected) they are working their way through it. There are alot of secrets being kept by everyone in the relationship, and at the end of this book alot of them are revealed in a BIG way! Can't wait to see what happens in the next book and where everyone goes from here. Will the secrets be too much? Will they find the answers they need? Will this relationship survive? Can they learn to trust again?

[Miss E · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the second installment of Falling for Them, Zera fights the guilt after the Bridgeport events 2 years ago.
The pace is fast, the feelings are furious. I have SO much I want to say about this, but it would all entail major spoilers!
Ares has his doubts. As the policeman he is, his alarm bells are ringing, but what to do when the people you love are involved?
Lev and Chase are in deeper than they can handle and Zera? Oh, she is in so much trouble!

I can't wait to see how it all works out in Fearless!

Highly recommended for lovers of WhyChoose, action and a fast pace.
This is the second book in the series - it does not stand alone.

[Brittany Bridges · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved it. The spice and plot were both amazing and loving the storyline. The little twist that was in here was awesome. I hate that I’m having to wait until June 2026 for the next book. Spice was a definite 5/5🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ and plot was a for sure 5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Tropes include: RH/Why choose, step-brothers, motorcycle racing. If you’re into into rh, step siblings and bikes with also a little hockey romance as well then I’m sure gonna love this series. If you read please make sure to start with book 1, Fast.

[Jo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh boy, things are getting intense and not always in a good way. Chance and lev are between a rock and a hard place, Ares is finally showing some emotion and secrets are coming out that could leave things in tatters. The spice is getting more spicier which is always a good thing. There is a cliff hanger and its one of those "oh please I need the next book now" ones so now I'm sat here wanting the final book. A fantastic second instalment.

[Sue Harbers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book holds so many secrets that everyone seems to be keeping! No one is spared here. There’s so many things happening at once with Zara and she’s kind of balancing on a balance beam. Chance and Lev are great and I think they’ve ironed out their emotions where Zara is concerned. Ares is still a work in progress. I’m interested to see how things pick back up in the next book after the cliffhanger!

[Rachel Trundle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Melissa's writing always sucks me in. I get invested in her characters from the first page and this book was no different. The heartbreak from book 1 still lingers but relationships grow and are definitely changing. These aren't your typical book boyfriends. They are loyal to a fault and definitely have a bad streak. It's a delicious combo for sure! I can't wait to see where the story goes from here!

[Angel McGregor · Rating 4 out of 5]

An absolutely stunning storyline. I'm loving that the guys aren't immediately on board with the quad relationship as they often normally are in these books. I like that it is being questioned and found out of the ordinary. I'm loving the twists and turns in the story though there have been a couple of plot holes or changes from the first book where facts have altered... gutted that I now have to wait for the final book!!

[Kalexreads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Things are heating up for Zara, Lev, Chance, and Ares. And not just in a fun way. They’re still trying to navigate their new relationships, and Lev and Chance get further entrenched with Cal. They’re all keeping a secret or two from each other and wonder if their love for each other can withstand them. I can’t wait for the final book!!!

[ChristiLovesBooks_smut · Rating 5 out of 5]

Furious, book 2 of the Falling For Them trilogy, by Melissa Adams @melissa.adamsr is a favorite author of mine.

Wow! Just wow! What a great 2nd book about Zara, Levin, Ares, & Chance! Tropes: Contemporary, Reverse Harem, College, Brothers, Step Siblings, Found Family, Slow Burn/Fast Pace & A Cliffhanger!

[Karis Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.75 ⭐️

Another thrilling return to Star Cove! I will always keep coming back to this place.

Furious picks up where Fast left off, and contains all the twists and turns you’d expect from Melissa. Zara and her boys just leave me wanting more, the characters are so well developed.

The cliffhanger has left me shook and I am gagging for the final instalment!

As always, all opinions are my own.

Edit 02/08 - added Karis star rating to review

amazing

This is the second book in the Melissa’s falling for them series and it was just as good as the first I couldn’t put it down and I have been in a bit of a book slump so I was so happy to finally get out of it. Can’t wait for the third book to come out. If you want fast bikes, hot guys and mystery this is definitely a book for you

[Libby Fowler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Melissa has done it again. Yet again I was hooked from the start and left needing the next book like asap! Thank you Melissa for getting me out of the slump I was stuck in.
The relationships between our main characters are developing and blossoming which is fab to see! But secrets are being kept!
I cannot wait to read the final book, hoping to not have to wait too long!!

Furious is book 2 of The Falling For Them Series by Melissa Adams.

Melissa Adams has done it again with this read. It has hokked me from the start and i really enjoyed getting stuck in and reading what hapoens next in the storyline, The characters are growing within the story as it progresses that I loved reading. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

[Victoria Wyatt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Secrets have a way of coming out on their own sometimes. In this case Zara's came out before she could tell the guys. Not to mention Ares discovers she, Lev and Chance have been together without him knowing and he does not take it well. Then there is him following the guys which led up to finding out about the trio. Well well I cant imagine what the next book will bring.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome story! The second installment of the trilogy didn't disappoint. Things continue to progress with Zara, Chance, Levin and Ares. I loved the relationship development between Ares and Zara since theirs was slow in book 1. A lot of secrets held by everyone and I can't wait for the truths to come out! Book 3 can't come soon enough!

[Cleocutie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zara and her men are learning more about each other. But they still have secrets and they threaten their new relationship. There is plenty of action along the way and it will leave you eagerly awaiting the next book.

[Kim Behnke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Melissa keeps you guessing with this book. They say secrets have a way of coming out when you least expect them to, so what will happen now once a secret is releaved? Will all of the truth come out and will they get a HEA? Can't wait to see how this series ends.

[Melissa Hickman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic!!!!

This series is sooo good!!!! Zara is a fantastic FMC that’s definitely keeping her guys on their toes. The storyline keeps you guessing and has plenty of🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The next book can’t come soon enough!!!!

[BLT · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mmmmm. Someone's gotta secret or should I say multiple peoples have secrets. The question is Who's Will Get Told First??
So much fun to read, you just get lost and don't even realize you've read until the end until you get to the Cliffy, go to flip the page and there isn't more!

[Kayleigh henderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh are the truths starting to come out in the page turning book. It is the second book in the falling for them series and it doesn’t disappoint. Zara and her men are becoming closer but how close can you really get with secrets being held. Melissa Adam’s sure knows how to write a gripping book.

[Bobbi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stepbrother?

In the first book, Zara, Chance and Ares vehemently state "we are not related!" Zara never calls them her "Step Brothers" and yet in this book the author uses the term repetitively! It frustrated me so much I took off a Star for it.
