“Falling over can be magical—if and when you find the right person.”
Falling over is a wonderful standalone short story by Melody Jones. I really enjoyed reading this book; it was light-hearted, sweet and a surprisingly good read. The story wasn’t only a very clever concept, it was well written, quite interesting and made me want to flip the page and discover exactly what was happening.
Emma Chasen is twenty-five year old who works in pharmaceutical sales. She has made a great life for herself, has a loving family, wonderful friends, and a job she adores- but that seems to be where her luck runs out, as she hasn’t had much success when it comes to men and romantic relationships.
Because of this Emma has become a little negative with her outlook on life. This is also fuelled by the fact that she has a lot of insecurity and fears, originating from a childhood trauma- and she has the tendency to over think or over analyse everything.
So when her latest ‘relationship’ ends, her friends whisk her away for a weekend at the lake for some fun and relaxation. Her best friend Courtney suggests that it’s time to concentrate on herself for a change, to not to worry about relationships or putting pressure on herself to find a boyfriend- also hinting that she may benefit from a one-night-stand as it may help her get her ‘mojo’ back.
The weekend will test Emma on many levels, but her biggest test will be overcoming and dealing with her intense fear of boating, falling overboard and drowning. But when she meets someone with an impressive and contagiously optimistic outlook on life, Emma can’t help but begin to rethink her own circumstances. What will Emma learn from her weekend away? Will she learn to appreciate herself and her life? Will she unshackle herself from the past and the fears that have been crippling her? Can she embrace the future with a more positive outlook?
This is such a charming, quick and easy read that really made me stop and think of how easy it is to get caught up in the negatives in our life that we lose focus on all the good in our life- we stop acknowledging our blessings and lose sight of the big picture. Also about love, and loss. And about the mistake of completely giving up your individuality and own identity in a ‘one-sided’ relationship. And about ‘not judging a book by its cover’.
A great read and I look forward to Ms. Jones next release.
Thank you Ms. Jones!

Falling Over, A One Night Stand Novella written by Melody Jones
For such a quick read this book put me through many emotions. I wasn't sure where Melody was going to take the story. I kept trying to guess what was around the corner. I never did peg it quite right, but was pleasantly surprised with how it all played out in the end.
Emma’s best friend Courtney and her husband Ryan unexpectedly show up on her doorstep and kidnap her. They have a day out on the lake planned with friends and want to get Emma to go out, relax and open up to just having fun with no expectations.
“The trauma over my last lake trip kept me away for two years, but I’m ready to try again. I’m ready for a weekend away from life. Away from men, work, and my problems.”
Throughout the book Emma is feeling uneasy and is constantly anticipating something bad to happen. She finds herself being more of an observer and being cautious than relaxing and letting things happen. She can't stop thinking of the past and waiting for a repeat performance.
Emma ends up meeting someone who she can't quite figure out. Her first impression isn't adding up to the man in front of her. He has such a different outlook on life and is a pleasant surprise. He isn't like most guys she's spent time with there is much more depth to him.
This is a light hearted quick read. Melody does put you through some unexpected twist and turns until you see where she is headed with the story. It had an unexpected ending yet I loved how the story played out. Soul searching, awareness, forgiveness, learning to be open minded and finding self worth.

Falling Over by Melody Jones a wonderful short and sweet story with characters you can relate to. It is a fun novella based around Emma who has been downtrodden with her previous relationships with men and has decided to work on being happy for right now. One night stand? Maybe? Long term relationship? Not right now. Mr Right? Does he even exist?
Emma is spending the weekend with her best friend and her husband at the lake, where there are are promises of relaxation, fun, sun, men, boats and water. Will Emma’s fears stop her from having a good time? Will Emma find herself making new friends? Will Emma finally find something she has stopped looking for?
Emma has insecurities and fears that stem from her childhood but Emma has never made the connection. That is until she meets someone who made her see she has been looking at her life all wrong. His different outlook on life as a whole is a nice surprise. The way this person perceives their life makes Emma sit back and take a look at her life. Will Emma find her happily ever after after one not so lonesome marooned night? Can a falling star answer all your prayers?
Looking for a read that is fun and sweet with a little bit of sexy? Then Falling Over is just what the doctor ordered. This is a quick read that you will be able to finish in one afternoon. So grab the book a drink or two and enjoy Melody’s great little story that will leave you enjoying the ride.

Wow. Such a great book. This story reminded me of myself in my younger years. It was like someone was telling my story. I can truly relate to Emma.
Emma Chasen had always picked the wrong men. She would go out of her way to find out what they liked and do what she could to make them feel comfortable and wanted. Thing is, the men did not feel the same and eventually their relationship would end. Emma just decided she was giving up on men and just try to enjoy life. She had a great job and worked hard to get where she was and she deserved to be happy as well. Emma also had a fear of drowning so when she went out in a boat she was terrified. She needed a distraction, a way to forget about herself drowning and enjoy having fun in a boat with friends.
This was a really sweet story and like I said before it reminded me of myself. Emma is a great girl and deserves a man that will treat her properly. Will Emma let go and forget about men? Will she get over her fear of drowning? Read the book and find out. It is one of those books that makes you want to read it again. Great book and great author. Look forward to reading more of your books Melody. I truly loved this book and will definitely be recommending it to my friends.

Falling Over by Melody Jones is a one night stand novella. After needing to get away, Emma and her best friend Courtney and her husband Ryan decided to go to the lake and have a heck of a weekend. At twenty-five Emma isn't quite sure what's going on in her life. She loves her job, her family and definitely loves her friends but when it comes to men she doesn't feel fulfilled. She is loyal to a fault and will do anything and everything in her power to make sure that he feels complete. The problem is that she forgets to put herself first or even second.
Because of all of that, both Emma and Courtney decide that Emma needs to focus on herself and not relationships, maybe just a one night stand.
I will honestly admit I didn't see this coming. I thought it was going to be someone else. I liked how Melody wrote Emma's attitude because I feel like a lot of people don't realize when they become so negative about life. And really could this guy have been more perfect? The conversation flowed easily and he seemed to be a gem, I want one ;). And that ending? Yes. I hope there's going to be more, I'd like to see how it pans out.

4 stars!
Falling Over is the first book in the Falling Duet by Melody Jones and was a lovely novella to read! This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. For such a short book it was full of story and I really didn’t want it to be over! One of the things I really liked about this book was how I was completely wrong about what would happen! I thought I had guessed from the beginning the way the story would go but I was wrong! I love it when that happens in a story!
Emma was a really nice character and I feel her fear of boats! I am exactly the same! I could feel her anxiety come through in the authors writing! She wrote it very well. I loved the connection that Emma had with one of the other characters. They had an instant and easy connection and I was really hoping for more for both of them!
I think the author did a really good job with this novella and I am looking forward to reading more from her in the future. Her characters were relatable and I connected with them easily. For such a short story I thought that author was able to create great characters that developed well over the story. Overall I thought the book was a really nice, easy read and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Falling Over (book one in the Falling Duet) by Melody Jones is a good summer read. This novella is told from Emma’s point of view with a happy ending. While I had a hard time connecting with Emma and at times the writing was a little more stiff than flowy, I enjoyed this afternoon quickie of a book.
She has a fear of falling off boats and is a bit of an over-thinker, but throughout the weekend she does let go a bit. Owen, one of the guys in their group, seemed to help with that as he was very zen and level headed about things. There are some big surprises near the end!
A couple things I liked in the book was the drink they ordered with lunch, sounded amazing to me! Also the friendships and how it felt like a snapshot in time for them all. It’s not happily ever after (that we know of), it’s not a long drawn out love story, and it’s not your typical romance. Possibly the start of something but if nothing else, it’s memories they made over a weekend and an interesting story.

FALLING OVER (Falling Duet #1)
AUTHOR: MELODY JONES
FIVE STARS
FALLING OVER is the first book in the FALLING DUET series by the phenomenal author Melody Jones. This is the second book I have read by her and she quickly became one of my go to authors. She is fairly new to the writing scene, but with her brilliant talent she will certainly be highly successful. FALLING OVER is a short story, but not short on humor, romance or excitement. It can be read as a standalone. I definitely hated to see this book end, but I am looking forward to the second book in this series.
Emma Chasen is dealing with insecurities that every girl has nightmares about. Falling for the boy you think is perfect and being rejected. Maybe a few days at the lake enjoying the sunshine with friends will help her forget. And since she has sworn off relationships, it should be a breeze. Emma is terrified of falling overboard! That makes her extremely uneasy while they are out on the boat. She meets a nice man who is determined to help her over her fears. He is unlike any of the men she has ever dated and she is cautious. Will there be a spark between them?
This is an extremely quick, run read. Be sure and one-click it today!

I won the e-book from an Amazon Giveaway & am so glad! This is my first read from this author & I was pleasantly surprised. This novella is short & sweet, it kept me interested & I can't wait for the next one. This story was a much needed break from the usual alpha males & gave me a real connection to the characters. There's still a great guy & a sexy intimate scene. The heroine is very relatable. I cannot wait to continue Emma's story in Falling Again.

This was a very different type of ‘love story’ and I really enjoyed it. As the author states, this is no true love fairy tale, nothing about second chances or adventures with millionaires that like kinky sex and to spoil their one true love as they hide a dark side. This was just a story about a fun, fateful night for perky and selfless MC, Emma.
She spends the weekend with friends, enjoying the great food and trying to conquer her fear of the water and boating. When she finally does, she meets some awesome people and one of them, Owen, who she feels an instant attraction to. They have great chemistry and he’s really a breath of fresh air from the usual type of guy that Emma is attracted to. The type that Emma dates and the type that always breaks her heart.
This book was just very fun, and romantic!

Falling Over: Melody Jones- 4 stars
Emma Chasen is the girl next door that does everything she is expected to do and falls for the worst guys possible. She thinks that by bending herself and giving horrible guys some free room, they will change into the perfect man she needs. After a bad breakup she is rescued by her best friend Courtney and her husband Ryan and is whisked away to a weekend at the lake.
Emma has a bad memory of water and finds herself constantly having to wear a life vest to protect her from whatever may happen. However, she learns that maybe she is trying to guard and protect herself from more than the dangers of the water and not perusing what she deserves.
After being forced to go out of her comfort zone and meet new people throughout the weekend, Emma finds herself loosening up and actually being able to have fun in the environment she is in. One of the guys on the boats that she is hanging out with, Owen, catches her attention with him ability to calm her nerves on the boat and his genuine feelings of well-being for everyone to stay safe.
Owen and Emma find themselves left behind on a sandbar after a hiking trek up the hill and are forced to spend the night outside together. Both decide to make the best of it and enjoy the beverages they have brought and decide to go deep with their conversations, essentially questioning what they want for their lives. Although Emma has sworn off men completely since they always let her down, she finds herself intrigued by the prospect of Owen.
Can Emma trust in Owen and believe that she deserves the best? Or will Emma continue to stay true to her mantra and stay single and wait for the right man.
This story was very sweet and short. I kept wondering if maybe there was a cliff hanger or a scary surprise around the corner, but was pleasantly surprised when it was just a genuine good hearted coming of age story. Emma is such a sweet girl and you find yourself rooting for her to find her knight in shining armor. Owen is the man of every girls dream, patient, kind, understanding and ridiculously good looking. Solid 4 star quick read and loved the authors writing style.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I already want more. This is the first book in the One Night Stand series. This book is a novella which makes it a quick read. This book is the perfect summer read. This story captured me on the first chapter. I could not put it down until I was finished. It only took me a couple of hour to finish this amazing book.
Emma Chasen always picks the wrong men. They are good looking and smart but there is something missing. They never gave her that spark she is looking for. After her last relationship she has sworn off men for awhile. She wants to concentrate on her work and herself. She is invited to go on a little trip with some of her close friends. She is so excited for some fun in the sun but things change when she meets Owen. Emma is intrigued by this new stranger. He reminds her of all the other guys she has dated in the past but she find out that she is dead wrong about him. Will she fall over again with a new guy or will she put her life vest and swim away?
This is such a sweet and fun read. This book may be short but it has everything you want in a book. This book has adventure, romance, and some good humor. You will fall in love with all of the characters. Emma is a very strong character that has some self confidence problems due to her past. I love how she grows throughout the story. She ends up even more strong in the end. The ending will make you want more. I can not wait and see what happens next on Emma’s journey.

Falling Over by Melody Jones is the first book in the Falling Duet series by Melody Jones. This is my first novel by this author.
Emma Chasen has a history of dating the wrong type of guys. After another failed relationship, she is invited to a trip on the lake with her best friend and her husband. Decided she will not be looking for a boyfriend but a one night stand, she tries to enjoy herself even though she is afraid of falling over
Emma meets a bunch of cute guys throughout the day so its unsure which she ends up with but what is suppose to be a one night stand also helps Emma learn more about herself and the way she views the world.
I really enjoyed this short novella and wish there was more. Although it was a quick read, I related to Emma’s dating history.
“The problem is, I pick guys who never put me first. Sure, in the beginning, we are inseparable. The guy treats me well, takes me out, texts me during the day. As per usual, that slows down over time, and I find myself the last person on that guy’s list. I bend over backwards trying to be accommodating , trying to please the guy, while easily ignoring that he just isn’t that into me.”
Emma has a successful job and great support system but has an insecurity about herself that I understand and relate. She wants someone to love her unconditionally and to put her first. Which is what most women want from a committed relationship and wonders if she will ever find that.
I really enjoyed this novella and can't wait to read more of her story.

Falling Over by Melody Jones is your short, heartwarming, and loving standalone novella. It makes you think and value your self worth!!
This is a story that takes place over one single night,it may or may not involve a one night stand with a happy ending. Read at your own risk lol
I personally saw myself a lot in this character. Which is a huge eye opener for me. We need to value and respect ourselves so much more than we do!!
Emma Chasen has sworn off men. After a series of dating the wrong man, she is absolutely done dating!!! She is tired of investing all her time and attention on the wrong man. She is always the one in the end , with a broken heart.
Now a weekend getaway is planned with her best friend, Courtney and her husband, Ryan… to rest and relax at the lake. She doesn't want to think about her past relationship problems or any worries. She just wants to have a fun weekend with a few alcoholic beverages and lots of sun.
She stumbles across a stranger, who at first… she doesn't think highly of him. Then she learns more about him and finds they have more in common than she originally thought.
Will Emma be able to enjoy her weekend? Or will the past come back and haunt her?
You gotta read this great little story to see what happens!! Melody, you got yourself a new fan!! Great job!!

It is difficult at times to overcome fear and a traumatic experience, by Melody did a great job developing Emma’s character within a short read. I look forward to reading more stories by Melody Jones and recommend this book to anyone that enjoys novellas and smart women who take a journey into self-discovery.

Falling Over: A One Night Stand Novella by Melody Jones is an adorable little novella about Emma Chasen.
Emma is really struggling. Even though she has a great family, a job that she is good at, and plenty of friends, she is unable to find a man. Instead of waiting for the right man, she seems to keep falling for the wrong type of men. She seems to find sexy men who enjoy her company and her attention, though they are unable to return the favor.
For this reason, she finds herself going away for a weekend on the lake with her best friend and her husband. Though she is deathly afraid of falling off of the boat, she imagines plenty of time in the sun, with drinking and friends. She is determined to stay single for a while and just relax. However, as many hot men join their party, readers will wonder if she can happily be single for several days.
I really enjoyed Jones’ novella about Emma Chasen. Her character is very well developed, with many fears and idiosyncrasies that can only be developed by an author who cares. I really enjoyed learning about Emma throughout the whole book.
I love short and sweet novellas and this one was just as good. I couldn’t put this book down! I am going to have to look for more books from this author – she is definitely going to be one of my favorites!

Falling Over: A One Night Stand Novella by Melody Jones
5 Stars
Emma is 25 years old with a good family, fantastic friends, and a challenging career. Her biggest downfall is she has terrible taste in men and has decided to stay away from them for the time being. Nothing bad has happened to bring her to this decision except that she just keeps falling for the wrong ones that although it always starts great it always ends up with her at the bottom of their priority list and she's done being used as a doormat. Her best friend Courtney and her husband have invited her to spend the weekend with them at the lake and this is all fine and good except she has an awful fear of falling over the side of the boat. She even has nightmares that this could happen and she would drown before anyone can rescue her. So with her new decision to stay away from relationships and her fears of being on a boat this could prove to be a very challenging weekend, especially after meeting Owen….
I enjoyed this book and didn't want it to end. It had a great story flow and packed in everything I needed even being a novella...I loved how the author handled all the situations, and how she built these characters that I fell immediately in love with. I hope somewhere down the line we get to revisit these characters, but I will definitely be checking out all of her other work. Quick and very enjoyable read!!!

Falling Over By Melody Jones
Four Stars
Falling Over: A One Night Stand Novella by Melody Jones is the first book I have read by this author. This short story is full of drama and romance. The author has well defined characters that are easy to relate to and the plot line pulls you in from the very first page.
Emma Chasen is going to spread the weekend with her fiends on the lake. The only stipulation is no looking for relationships, a one night stand is okay but no looking for a new boyfriend. Emma has found that she usually picks men that don't give her what she needs in a relationship. She find most of her relationships are one sided and she is always giving and not getting anything back in return. This lake trip also focuses on a fear of Emma’s, falling over the side of a boat and drowning. To be able to ride in a boat she must wear a life preserver, which most times leads to ridicule.
The trip leads her to fun in the sun with hot guys, drinking and an overall party atmosphere. Will she keep her resolve? Will she meet someone new? Will she resolve some of her fears and insecurities? This book is well written and I can't wait to see what will be coming next from Melody Jones.

Falling Over by Melody Jones, is book 1 in her Falling Duet. This is a great and easy read. Once you start, you can’t put it down. It’s written in first person, so we get to see and feel what our main character does and goes through.
Emma, our main character, is so ready to throw in the towel when it comes to guys. She just can’t seem to find one that likes her for being her. One that cares about her like she does them. Her best friend decides to take her away for some weekend fun at the lake. A few days at the sun is just what she needs, it sounds great until she realizes she’ll be on a boat again. The last time she was on a boat things didn’t go so well. Let’s just say life vests are necessary! Seeing that she is surrounded by hot men, will she get over her fear and finally let herself go? Will she eventually see her beauty and give herself the opportunity to let a man in?
If you’re in the mood for something fun and sexy to read, then this is your book! There’s no doubt that Falling Over will be a great read. I read it in a day and was pretty sad when it ended. I wanted to know more about Emma and finding her beauty. I wanted to see what came after this weekend on the lake. I can’t wait for the next book because I’m sure it’ll be just as great as this one!

Falling Over by Melody Jones is a four star novella. I enjoyed reading this book because of the deeper meaning behind it. It is a short book and can be read in one sitting. This book also only involves one night in Emma’s life. There were lots of deep thoughts and deep conversations over the course of this one day. Emma and Courtney are best friends. They have been for many years. Courtney convinces Emma to come out to the lake with her and her husband, Ryan. Even though Emma is deathly afraid of falling overboard, she agrees to go to the lake and get on the boat. Once they get out on the lake to their spot, they find they can easily swim and have fun while she is out there. Since Emma’s recent break up, Courtney has been convincing her how worthy she is to have a man chase after her instead of the other way around. That is how all of her relationships have been. Courtney wants her to take some time for her and figure herself out in order to be happy. This is the point of this novella. I felt as if this novella was speaking directly to me and my life choices currently. This is a very worthy read.

Falling Over: A One Night Stand Novella by Melody Jones – 4 stars
“Falling over can be magical – if and when you find the right person.”
This is the perfect novella if you are looking for a light, quick read that has no past and no future. As the author explains in her notes, this is “a story without billionaires, or down-and-out waitresses, or second chances.” It’s just a story about an encounter. A one night stand. (There are characters in this story that I hope to read about in the future). Knowing that this was a short story about a one night stand, it was a fantastic adventure trying to figure out which guy would be the lucky recipient. I thought I knew, then I didn’t, then I did and then I didn’t.
Emma Chase is a gal who hangs out with a bunch of friends for a weekend at the lake. They boat, eat, and have fun. This is the story of one night in particular. At 60 pages, I read it from start to finish in about 1 hour. It was a great palate cleanser for a heavier book I read just before it.

Book Review: Falling Over
Author: Melody Jones
Five Stars
Melody Jones has written this novella after she spent a restless evening and needed something different to read. Somthing without billionaires, down-and-out waitresses or second chances. This isn't your everyday read, it is short quick and heart warming.
Emma, out for a weekend camping trip with her best friend Courtney and her husband Ryan, is terrified of boats but loves to swim and cliff dive. Emma is the type of girl that never puts herself first, she is always finding herself in relationships where she is too good to the man she is with and that is never reciprocated to her, so the relationships end and she gets her heart broken every time.
Meeting someone on this camping trip was the farthest thing from her mind.
This book has one scene of a sexual ecounter and that is all, otherwise a very quick read that has way more depth than most. I really enjoyed this book and it did open my eyes as to things that I do wrong as well in my relationships.
Will things finally be different for Emma??

5 Stars Review
Falling Over by Melody Jones is a one-night stand novella and is the perfect summer read. It had me really looking forward to the hot summer days with friends. It’s a short and sweet novella that has a great storyline, perfect characters and the right amount of drama.
This novella follows Emma who is off to the lake with her best friend Courtney and her husband in hopes of having a relaxing weekend away from the stress of her life. With the help of Owen she is able to reevaluate her life and her own self worth. She’s able to overcome her fear of boating accidents with him by her side, and it ends up being exactly what she needed.
I would highly recommend this novella as it actually has depth with a real storyline to follow. This was my first book by Melody Jones and it certainly won’t be my last. I was incredibly pleased with the amount of detail there was written in this novella, it was very easy to picture myself along with the characters, it made for the perfect little getaway read!

Falling Over by Melody Jones is the first part of her novella series called Falling Duet. Falling Over is a One Night Stand Novella and I think that tells you a bit about what to expect when sitting down with the book!
The story is about Emma who is ‘telling’ us her story in the first person. She is trying to get away from the chaos of her life and she is so done with falling for the wrong guys, I am telling she is D-O-N-E! So she agrees with her best friend Courtney that she should simply go and have fun and a one night stand and she should do it this weekend at the lake! There is a problem though … she is terrified of falling … overboard … So, the question throughout the story is, can she get over her fear and can she let go without having too many expectations, can she learn about herself and let the right person in?! Can she figure out why she has this irrational fear?!
Falling Over is a fun and sexy summer read that you can take along when going to a beach or hanging out on your porch swinging … and don’t forget a glass of wine!

Falling Over: A One Night Stand Novella is written by Melody Jones. This is my first read by this Author. Melody Jones did a great job on this book. The story is well written. The book has many different emotions. This short story is about a one night stand. Emma is on a camping trip for the weekend with her friend and her friend's husband. Emma has sworn off men, from bad past experience, she's not looking for a man anytime soon. But Emma never thought in a million years that she would meet someone, not alone having a sexual encounter with a stranger. But when Emma meets Owen, there is an instant attraction. There is just something about Owen, she just can't resist him. I'm going to stop there. I recommend reading. Owen and Emma are great together. I'd like to read more about them someday. They were perfect together. But if you're looking for a quick sweet and fun read. I suggest reading this story. This is a really good story. I enjoyed it. Thank you, Melody Jones. Great work :) 4 Stars

Falling Over: A One Night Stand Novella
By Melody Jones
4 Star Review
Falling Over by Melody Jones, this is a novella and a very quick read. This was a fun, sexy fast read.. This is a story that you can pick up and read while waiting in line to pick up the kids or at the ball field waiting for practice to end.
The characters are very likeable and I could tell I would have a good time hanging out with these characters at a summer party. Emma Chasen is done with another boring relationship, where she tried too hard and the guy didn’t try enough. So her best friend talks her into spending the weekend at the lake for some fun on the boat and hanging out. Emma begins to wonder if maybe a one night stand is what needs for the weekend.
Does Emma have a one stand? Could it possibly lead to more? This was a fun very sexy story. The author did a nice job creating the characters in such a quick story.

This is cute and fun novella called Falling Over by Melody Jones. It is super easy to read and she gives you a secret straight from the start with our leading lady Emma, that keeps you turning pages to find out what exactly the story is behind it.
Emma is on a get away trip with her best friend Courtney and her husband Ryan, and she has sworn off men for the weekend. How well do you think that will work out for her? Boating terrifies her but she conquers her fears and ends up meeting some really interesting people. One of those people being Owen.
Can Owen break down the walls that Emma has built? Will Emma finally let someone worthy into her life that actually wants a relationship? Can this all really happen in twenty four hours? Is there such a thing as true instant attraction? Read this story and find out.
I give this story 4 Stars. It would be nice if there ever ended up being a longer tale for these two.
