Falling #2
Falling into Exposure
The second installment in the Falling Series.
Gabriel Maddox:
Victoria says she has to leave. But I need her to stay.
She’s asleep. In my arms. And I’m holding her, stroking her, silently hating myself for what she’s turning me into.
I never expected to feel this way about someone. I never expected that there was one thing that she would never submit to, and that’s a future with me. Things are getting too complicated between us. Too many secrets, too many lies. I know she’s hiding something, but the more I push, the farther she pulls away.
I don’t know how much longer this tether between us can hold. So I’ve done something that I never do. I’ve opened myself up and bared my soul. I showed her my demons in a moment of weakness, and now I have to pay the price.
Because if I’m wrong about her, she could destroy me.
Previously titled Gabriel's Collar, Hunted Series

Ok book 2 was like so so good. Really connecting with the characters now. Series review to come.
Read
April 22, 2015Paul (chauffer) picks Victoria (narrator, aka Toto) up & brings her to Gabriel Maddox (27, co- narrator) re-furbished house.
Gabriel likes showering Victoria with sexy gifts.
Leaving the building 1 day Victoria is confronted by an unknown knock-out gorgeous sexy Russian descent female Anya.
Gabriel & Victoria are getting to know each other personally/sexually.
Gabriel plans to branch out on his own business ventures.
Gabriel bought Victoria a very expensive gold & diamond studded dainty choker.
Every date he also bought her something new to wear.
Gabriel & Victoria, Angelina (Gabriel’s sister) & Abel (Gabriel’s brother) all go to Caroline Maddox (mother) house for a party.
Anya is there. Who is she?
Will Victoria’s past catch up with her?
What was Allen Ricketts (PD) doing in the park?
Yes they are Borderline Personality D/O along with Schizophrenia my favorite clients to work with. Opposite end of the spectrum.
Warning: This book is for adults only & contains adult content or language &/or sexually explicit scenarios. It may be offensive to some readers.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. Another very well written steamy hot erotic romance book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great erotic romance movie, or mini TV series. To be continued. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

***4.5***
Note: These are my personal opinions.
The likes and dislikes:
~Eleanore's name had different spellings...
~And one particular time I wanted to take a shower really bad...HOT!
~Finally, a book where there is some proper interactions with friends!
~I felt like I wanted to cry my eyes out at the emotional bits, but that is not a bad thing. I had become so invested in the characters, so I couldn't stop the tiny tears. (Don't tell anyone!)
~Gabriel's office...*groan*
Notes on characters:
Victoria - Shame, poor chick, heavy background, but she developed well in this book.
Gabriel - His softer side was great, but loved that he didn't soften.
Alanna - She is awesome!
Trevor - Would've loved to have known a little more about him.
Maddox Family - Mrs. Maddox is a word I may not use. Angelina is so sweet! Abel was hilarious.
Anya - Needs a slap!
Really great book, I think everyone should read.

Say what? I knew Victoria was running for a reason and we find out what she is running from in this one. Knowing she will have to leave New York and Gabriel behind soon she tries to distance herself, but it is harder than she thinks. And Gabriel well being Gabriel doesn't make it any easier. We get to see some different sides to him in this book and we find there is more to him than meets the eye. The ending left me hanging from the cliff and I have to know how this story ends. I wonder will Victoria get the peace she needs? This one was even better than the last one and I expect the next to be even better!

This story keeps getting better. Our Alpha has finally shown his soft side. I like that he is so multi-dimensional. Victoria is falling fast, but knows she must leave New York soon. Alanna seems to have found what she has always wanted with Nathan, but she knows she will need to leave when Victoria does. Trevor needs more book time! He seems like a sweetheart. I like that he is always there for the girls.

This was a sexy read! I started to love Gabriel in this book and the way he softens towards Victoria whilst still maintaining the dominant Alpha attitude. I liked finding out more about Victoria's situation too. There were some really steamy scenes so readers wont be disappointed.
So glad that book 3 is available...cant wait to find out what happens to them both!

I really enjoyed this second part to the series, getting to know the characters better and I like that the author has chosen to set out the book so that one characters and then other have a big section to have their say and views on what is happening in their life,
Looking forward to the last part of the series x

Dark, erotic, and heartbreaking. Falling into Exposure is the second in the Falling Series. The book begins with Victoria and Gabriel entering their DS agreement. Though Victoria has agreed to obey Gabriel and act as his play thing, when she submits completely, Gabriel doesn't know how to take it. He has always been with self-centered, headstrong women who want him for his money, but Victoria is the opposite. To make matters worse, Victoria will have to move on soon in order to avoid her stalker, but Gabriel has no idea why she thinks she has to leave.
Despite Gabriel's attempts to remain detached, he finds he is falling in love with Victoria. Though there are some moment's of disconnect between the couple, the main theme of this book is coming together. Gabriel reveals intimate and painful details about his past, and details of Victoria's female stalker finally come to light. I was truly horrified to learn about the stalker. This book is extremely sexy, but also made me cry. I look forward to reading the final book in the series.

This is the second book in the Falling series, and it is the continuation of Gabriel and Victoria's story.
From the first book, we learned that Victoria was running from something or someone from her past, and when it was finally revealed, my mind was blown. It was just crazy! My heart just broke when she told Gabriel about what had happened to her as a child! It was the stuff nightmares are made of. Gabriel vows to keep her safe, but Victoria doesn't want him involved. We are once again left with a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read the final book and learn how this story plays out!

Falling into Exposure is the second in the Falling Series. The story is full of love, lust and hidden secrets. This book is hot, steamy and sexy that left me breathless and also made me cry. I love Gabriel and Victoria, there were times I wanted to throw my kindle in frustration. The book is coming together with secrets being exposed and to find out who Victoria's stalker is.
What an ending. I look forward to reading the final book in the series.

Victoria
So far you would think Victoria was a weak girl running scared. I started to feel sympathy for her. She not not a whiny character, which is a great characteristics for this book.
Gabriel isn't a total dominant man. Just a man who fell in love with Victoria.

Written in first person dual POV.
There was... too much sex! I skipped most of it. It really was too much.
The story was okay but I think 60 or 70% consist of sex..
It wasn't that exciting and I got bored.

I really liked this series. In this book, the characters started to take shape and the sex was hotter.

Gabriel and Victoria definitely have the chemistry a h and H should have but due to the predictable nature of the plot it feels like this was a lost opportunity to do more with such fun characters. A little too much back and forth for my taste. If you're looking for a smut tactic read, this series is definitely it.

Book two in the series hooks you where book one seemed confusing. Their attraction becomes more. Love. She's a fighter. She's had to be. He needs to understand why.
Her fears of getting him involved cause her to question everything and end things. He can't handle it and goes after her. Their reunion is angry and full of love, expressions of love. He finally demands the truth and it reveals a horrific past. It's eye opening and amazing she survived.
Great build up to getting the truth. Now on to book three!
