The Fall

by Jennifer Lowery

The last thing ATCOM agent, Brendan Devayne wants is to settle down. His adventurous lifestyle keeps him on the razor’s edge of life, just the way he likes it. He doesn’t expect to rescue a teenager from a mishap cliff dive during his R & R in Hawaii, or that the kid’s mom would make such an impact on him. A family isn’t in the cards for him, but something about Mia and her son challenges what he thinks he wants. Mia Lawrence has made a lifetime of mistakes—from marrying the wrong guy at eighteen, getting pregnant soon after and divorcing him six years later. Now she’s struggling to keep her teenage son out of trouble that seems to find him-just as it had her ex. She’d hoped a getaway in the Islands would help them sort things out, to bond like they had when he’d been younger. But, things go very wrong when her son brings home a tall, handsome stranger who saved his life and turns her world upside down. He’s too much like her ex; someone who walked a fine line between foolish and dangerous. Mia vowed to never make the same mistakes twice, but Brendan makes her want to rewrite that vow.

Loved it

I love this series but i think the endings are to plain . I love the happy endings but it seems there should be more to get that. I would give this book a 4 star.

I fell!

Loved Brendan. Such a Bad Boy turned Alpha hero and sexy with it. Well written with all the right ingredients. Single Mom, sulky teenage son, thrills and spills. Loved it.

this is part of the Summer Heat box set
so what happens when your on vacation and are in the air parasailing and see a teen thinking of jumping a cliff as a thrill but decides to change their mind at the last second and gets hurt but finds a stranger who saves him and taking him back to his place to find a young woman who happens to be the kids mom but finds much more than he is bargaining for like an ex and trouble and must call his buddies for help . can these two be more or will this be a heartbreak in the making or a change of things to come . can one not be a daredevil in a relationship or is that a deal breaker . and i so hope there are more in this series .
also can a teen become a man or be blinded by the truth that his father tells him or will the blinders come off and the truth revealed . find out by buying this book and read Atties story which is called the Maze .

although this one was good, The Maze was still the best
