Trust Falls

by Adele Huxley

The games we play... Does he really love me? Is she faithful? Am I wasting my time? These games don't just test the limits of our bonds or the strength of our relationships. Some games are a matter of life and death. How well do you know your partner? Captured and bound... Kidnapped and held captive, the only thing that will guide Dani Marsh to safety is trust... a rare commodity in her world. Her life hinges on the way she navigates the games she is forced to play for her freedom but... Who can she trust? The fame-hungry, money-obsessed boyfriend who has recently shown a dark manipulative side? Or the gorgeous stranger she's been locked up with for weeks? A man with a tortured past and scars she can so easily relate to...maybe a little too well. Dani has one chance to escape but only if she's sure of where her trust falls.

I have and this sitting on my Kindle for ages and finally got around to reading it, wish I had read it sooner, after reading the other books in this series this one was a must, and I wasn't disappointed, I don't usually read thrillers but this one is just something special, had me hooked from the start and couldn't put it down. You get totally involved with the storyline and there were a lot of twists that I just didn't see coming, very well written, and very enjoyable, a must read but I would advise you read the other books first.

Wow! A terrific suspenseful story with plenty of twists & turns to keep you from seeing the end. As the story unfolds, you learn the importance of trust & trusting the right person. I don't normally read this type of book but I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to anyone that loves a combination of suspense & mystery along with aside of romance.

OMG I could not put this book down. Adele Huxley has written a true thriller with Trust Falls. Although I have not read her other books this book is a standalone read. Just when I thought I had everything figured out Ms Huxley throw a curve ball and wow what I thought was not what was going on or going to happen. Now I will have to go back and read her other books. I highly recommend this read.

What a suspenseful story! I feel like this is a cross between SAW movie and Dean Koontz novel. It was definitely a twisted thriller that left you guessing until the end. The author unfolded the story in a way that you had guesses but never expected the full outcome. I don't want to spoil this story, but if you like mysterious, suspenseful novels, with some romance then I recommend this story. While I found it a little slow to start, once it started to move through the story the pace picked up. It was great to have Miah and Dani back after meeting them in the author's previous stories. Dani - She is definitely your typical young person of the times. You can see how and why she acts like a brat but underneath of that is a heart of gold. She just doesn't let many see that. I think the experience she goes through in this story put some things in perspective for her and have her growing up quicker than she might have otherwise. Miah - he kept me guessing. I couldn't decide if I was team Miah throughout this story. I'm still not sure I completely trust the character. He is also a typical young 20 something who just wants to give Dani everything he can. So I'm going to talk about the title because I think it was EPICALLY perfect for this story. There are so many ways to take Trust Falls as you read through the story. The author found the perfect title to flow with the story. The only other issue I had was the abruptness of the ending. It's a "happy for now" type of ending but I felt like I was missing a little more resolution in the aftermath. Overall this is a great suspenseful read that I would recommend to anyone that enjoys this type of genre.

Trust falls, what to say about this book? Hello Bells this book was intense.

Dani Marsh is a celebrity whether she likes it or not. People will try to exploit that and it feels like her boyfriend Miah is trying to.

Kidnapped with a strange man for weeks, playing the kidnappers messed up games. How would any of us cope with what Dani has too? At the start of this book to me Dani came of bitchy and whiney. Fair  enough with her past I can understand. The more I read of this the more I got to understand her and like her. My heart pounded for through all of her terrifying experience.

HOLY HELL!!!!

Not knowing who to trust and when  she thinks she knows something comes to the surface.  It was just so intense and I can't say more cause I will let the story line slip and I don't want to ruin anyone else's experience of this book.
Absolutely brilliant, heart racing, on the edge of your seat weary, funny and beautiful sometimes. It gets you thinking if it was you in her shoes what would you do.

Trust and Faith.

Jackson becomes comfort and reality for Dani. But he also blames Miah for their kidnapping. Miah wouldn't do that to Dani, would he? Doubts are building and reality is blurring. Who can she trust? Who's responsible? And will she make it out alive?
I received this ARC for an honest review. I loved this book. It was fast paced and nailbitingly good. The characters were well developed and relatable. The conflicts & mind games were believable. I highly recommend reading this book.

Huxley has written a true thriller with Trust Falls. This is a great continuation of the story of Dani and Miah and how they are both dealing with fame. But more than that, this is the story of how to know who to trust. The characters are well developed and dynamic. The plot is full of emotional ups and downs. The twists and turns in this story remind me of the sharpest of mountain switchbacks.

A true thriller worth staying up well past bedtime to finish. I highly recommend this book and series to fans of the genre. While this is a standalone, it would be most enjoyed as part of this series.

Erm.......Let's just say I wasn't ready for the end.  I know that's starting at the wrong end but it just hit me. I even flicked back and forward between the last couple of pages thinking there was an error but nooooo, that was it.  When I re-read the last page I thought "ok I can go with that" but still....I hadn't been prepared. I needed more!

This was gripping, intriguing and we'll planned throughout.  I loved it.  Full of twists and turns it kept me on my toes thinking I knew what was coming next only to discover I didn't.  Even when I was right it wasn't in the right way.  Confused.....yep but fascinated.

I just needed more!!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was quite the psychological thriller! So many unanswered questions until the very end. I didn't particularly like Dani in the beginning. She sounded like such an immature brat. Even with her internal dialogue, I felt like she was a bratty mess. Miah did seem like he was seeking fame, but I do think he was trying to do what he could to further his career, as any ambitious person might. There were some crazy twists, and I was surprised at the final reveal. A good romantic suspense.

Twists at Every Turn

ARC review:
Adele Huxley has done it again - she has made me love her even more! This book is all about the characters, trust, betrayal and SUSPENSE. This book is a great mix of mystery and romance, two of my favorite things but done in a completely new way. I love that you are completely guessing until the end. Dani and Miah are complex characters with serious flaws but that is what makes them honest and believable. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for something different than the basic romance novel.

Adele Huxley does it again!!!

This is an ARC review of Trust Falls. Adele has done it again. The twists and turns of the story have you guessing at every turn. Just when you think you know what is going on she throws you a curve ball and has you second guessing yourself. I have been waiting months to find out what happens to Dani and Miah. And this book just leaves me waiting (impatiently) for the rest of the story.
This is well worth the read and if you haven't read the rest of the books I highly recommend that you do. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

"This book is very different from Adeles other books(Tellure Hollow). It had me on the edge of my seat biting my nails with the tension ,intrigue and twists. Dani and Miahs relationship is struggling and the turn of events makes you wonder how or if they will get though the situations that occur .. It's a dark and very intricate story and is really well written. An excellent 5* read!!". I Loved it and once you've read this, you'll want to read Adeles other books !!

This is a book that is a thriller with twists and a romance all in one. This is written in Dani’s point of view. Dani has been kidnapped and is forced to play a game for her freedom. Who can she trust? Her money obsessed boyfriend? Or a hot stranger? This is a must read that has you wanting to keep turning the pages with the twists the author throws at you.

[Zoe Jones-Gill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my god! The 1st chapter brings to mind the words “do you want to play a game?” This story is intense, scary, and leaves you emotionally drained. I was completely blown away by this unmissable book.

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story, tons of action. I kept tossing back and forth who was the real kidnapper throughout the story, it kept me guessing. I loved the characters and the ending was amazing!

Trust Falls the first book I have read by Adele and OMG was I captivated. Just when I thought I I had certain parts figured out BOOM Adele had me second-guessing. Trust Falls has a plot twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I absolutely loved this book and is definitely a must-read. Trust Falls is in Dani's point of view.
