Waiting to Fall: Almost Rapunzel

by Jolene Betty Perry

All Tennyson Spencer wants is to get through college and move out of the apartment he’s shared with his brother since their parents’ death. The last thing on his mind is relationships. With a job as a conceirge at Gothel Suites, and a hard-earned college scholarship, he’s just barely balancing all he’s promised himself.

With the voice of an angel, Melody has landed role after role in musical theater. Her adoptive aunt has been her helper, agent, and guardian, and Melody has been both content and successful under her aunt’s care. Landing the lead in Phantom of the Opera means a show in Las Vegas and a residence in the exclusive Gothel Suites-a dream come true. Or so she's been told.

When Tennyson and Melody meet, she begins to question her incredibly sheltered existence. And when their mutual attraction leads them on a night out together, it puts their lives on a path they never expected. With Melody stunned by the truth of her past, and Tennyson desperate to do right by her, they both have to take a leap of faith in order to be together.

But sometimes love isn’t enough, and their happily ever after might not be worth the plunge, no matter who’s waiting at the end of the fall.

This was an alright read, but I didn't like it as much as Mismatched in Love: Almost Cinderella. I didn't like the characters in this one as much as I liked Avery and Aaron, so the story didn't keep my interest as well.

Rapunzel retelling. Like the characters.

content: mild language, innuendo, talk of sex but nothing graphic

[Ranee Clark]

Fall in Love!

So cute. So fun. So swoony. Perfect length and perfect kisses. Can’t wait to read more of the Almost Fairytales.

Almost Rapunzel

I fell completely in love with this book. The story pulled me in from the very beginning. A very original modern take on an old classic. I'm sure I will be reading it again.

[Cheryal]

I just couldn't finish. It was too juvenile.
The characters were in their 20's but the story was like they were in Jr. High.
I was so bored that I skipped to the last chapter then couldn't finish that either.

I loved this! I love the twist on Rapunzel and the quick pace of the story. The chemistry between Melody and Tennyson was great! Loved it!
