Falling for Hudson
What would you do if you suddenly lost your parents?
Becoming an orphan right before her senior year is not something Chloe had on her agenda. Neither was moving away from the only home she's ever known. Rather than dealing with her grief she drowns her sorrows in a liquor induced haze and relies heavily on Hudson. The only person who truly has her happiness in mind.
With his band starting to take off the only thing missing from Hudson's life is someone to share it with. Lost in an internal battle between being the friend Chloe needs and boyfriend she wants his resolve soon weakens when they find themselves locked in their school's auditorium for a long weekend.
When these friends decide to finally become lovers, could a misunderstanding break their already unstable foundation? Or will they persevere and be exactly what the other needs?
Falling for Hudson is the second book in the contemporary romance Ashland series of interconnected standalones.

Falling for Hudson is the second book I've read by Alexandria Bishop. It began where Finding Flynn left off but this was such an emotional read. This book is written with great detail. Hudson is such a caring man! Chloe and him make a great couple :)
My favorite parts of the story:
"Let me ask you something. Is she the first thing you think of in the morning? The last thought that runs through your mind before you go to sleep at night? Would you do anything for her even if it meant being apart? Knowing it's the best thing for her no matter how much it kills you? If you can answer yes to all of those questions, then you are without a doubt in love with her."
"I'm freaking out just as much as you are right now. I'm trying to be strong for both of us because I know you need me. I wanted to do something special for you since we're missing both of our families today. And I'm very familiar with the storage rooms here, so I knew what I was looking for. I didn't go to any extra trouble."
The ending was great!
5 Stars!

Falling for Hudson is the second book in the Marlow series, and it is just as good as Finding Flynn which is book two.
This is Chloe and Hudson's story.
After reading book one, I could not wait to read this book. And Alexandria Bishop created an amazing master peace.
I was hooked from start to finish. I loved every moment. I enjoyed it all. Especially the playful banter between the characters.
--“If you must know, Little Hudson decided to make his presence quite known this morning, and right into my ass crack . I don’t know about you, but that’s an exit only zone.”--
This is a must read. I can't tell you enough how much I loved this book. So, you are going to have to read it yourself.

Chloe Weston is drowning, after losing her family she is just barely surviving on a day to day basis. The only positive is Hudson Hartley. Hudson loves Chloe, but Chloe wishes she could return the feelings. When life throws a curveball Hudson and Chloe bond in a way neither expected. Can Chloe give her heart to Hudson or is it broken beyond repair.
The second in the Marlowe series. I liked Hudson a lot, he is sweet but not a pushover. You feel for Chloe she is a fragile young woman who is having a hard time coping. Highly entertaining.

I am at a loss for words with this book! I'm a huge fan of Alexandria's and was so excited for this book to be released! While I loved Finding Flynn, Falling for Hudson now holds the top spot for me! There's just something about Hudson Hartley that gets me every time!!!

Falling for Hudson
My review.
Hmmm. This was difficult for me to rate as I loved and disliked this book in almost equal measure. With the love part just tipping the scales. Let me explain.....
Chloe Chloe Chloe...... In the beginning I felt truly sorry for her and the situation she finds herself in, who wouldn't, but as the story moved along, my dislike for her grew. How she was with, and around both brothers! Argh! So frustrating for me. Make up your mind already!!!!!! I felt she came across shallow and immature, but I kept on forgetting just how young she was. I did however like her towards the end of the book and as a character she definitely grew and developed immensely.
Hudson. He was an absolute dream. Such a swoon worthy male lead and at times I wondered why he stuck around. But because he did it made me love him all the more for it. The theatre lock in Mmmm dreamy. The only downside was the friendship he made with another girl towards the end of the book. I would've been like Chloe and disliked that too.
When things went a little wrong. Again, this part of the book had me throwing my kindle down with frustration. I could see what was going to happen a mile off, but I just couldn't put the book down (well apart from when I was throwing it lol) again I had to remind myself that they are kids!! Blimmin kids lol. I was all like 'I hate this book, I love this book'!!!! And Jax just got on my last nerve at this point!!!
So overall I went through the mill as far as emotions are concerned. I was sad, happy, mad, crazy enraged, swoony, heartbroken, hot under the collar (yummy sexy scenes) and frustrated (and not always in the good way)
So my star rating is 4 stars, because of all of those things! It made me feel! Really made me feel, but I would've preferred an easier ride lol.
If you want a read that gives you the feels and not just the lovey dovey ones, but the angst ones too, this book is for you. A fab book indeed.

Wow! I really loved this! Chloe's story picks up from then end of Finding Flynn, where she finds out about her parents. Hudson takes amazing care of her. Jax helps in his way too. Life for Chloe is just too painful, she's lost, and trying to numb herself.
This book was much better than the first in the series (which I also enjoyed). Well written, Chloe's confused and broken emotionally, and I could completely empathise with her. I really can't say how much I enjoyed this book! I absolutely devoured it! Can't wait to see more from this author!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I would describe it as a new adult book, but can be enjoyed by all!! Chloe is a young adult who has gone through more than most her age but despite bumps in the road she tries to be strong and independent. Hudson is almost like her knight in shining armour. He looks after her as a friend. Will he break down her walls, you will have to read and find out. I absolutely adored the scenes in the school theatre - funny, romantic and just wonderful! I happily award this book 4 stars!!

Guest Review by Tammy Cole
This is the second book in the series and I was excited to read about Hudson and Chloe. Chloe is trying to recover and heal from her car accident and losing her parents suddenly. To say that Chloe is not handling everything is an understatement . She has found strength and comfort in Hudson and it is so sweet the way he truly cares for her. I really loved Hudson. He is such a sweet, honest guy and truly cares for Chloe and her well being. I really enjoyed reading their story and anxiously await the next book!

I liked it so much, at times it was super drama and angst but it turned out to be so cool while you advance on the story.
Im antsy to read the next one ehichever the next stry is, we still have 3 more guys to tie the knot for and tell their stories.
I think I get so much new music and thats real good for my playlist and thats a plus from the book.
the book in my opinion is fantastic and it should be read by romance lovers and drama likers.

After finishing book one in the Marlowe series I could not get to Falling for Hudson fast enough wanted to know what was going to happen for these charecters and with the way Finidg Flynn ended my heart hurt for Chloe she's not really in a good place after losing her parents and on top of that wanting a guy that doesn't want her it did kinda frustrate me that she didn't see how Hudson felt about her but that was the only thing I didn't like about her . Hudson is so swoon worthy so sweet and there for the heroine in the time she needs someone . Loved how they connected when they are thrown together and chloe and Hudson form a strong bond . Very much enjoyed this can't wait to read Abbie and Judes story .

This is book 2 in this series and can be read as a stand-alone. I haven’t read the first book yet but it’s next on my list. Hudson and Chloe have a very rocky start to their relationship. Chloe is suffering after the sudden loss of both her parents. Hudson has been her rock through it all. Hudson and his brother Jax are in a bad with their friends and just signed a recording contract. Chloe drinks to dull her pain and this causes problems. Plus there’s a mix of feelings of love, Lust and in love. Then there’s sadness, betrayal, confusion and misunderstanding and eventually forgiveness and healing. This story definitely makes you want to read the rest of the books to understand better the dynamics of the rest of the characters.

WOW! I mean just wow! The first book was good but I believe this one was so much better and way more emotional. If you get into your story/book you will cry or tear up with this one. Chloe is such a strong girl with everything she went through. Yeah some of it she brought on herself but for the most part how would a seventeen year old handle something like that. It’s devastating. Hudson is so much more mature than his seventeen years say. He’s there for Chloe from day one...until that one night when everything changes. Will they ever get to the bottom of it ? Will she ever be able to be whole again? Will she decide to live?

The course of young love is never easy
Falling for Hudson is the second book in the Ashland series. This story is all about young love and the full roller-coaster ride that comes with it. It is about Chloe and Hudson and their journey is anything but easy. It is complicated, interesting and involves loss, love, betrayal, misunderstandings, hurt and more. I liked this book and thought the writing was good and the story was nicely developed.

Young love...
I wanted to smack the heroine at times but I was a huge fan of the hero, such a patient guy. I LOVE rock music so anything featuring a band member gets my attention. Not long into the read I was getting a sense of deja vu & when I clicked to post this I see I got the book in 2017! It was still a good, albeit a reread story of friends to so much more. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.

A phenomenal book two in the Ashland series! It is well written, well developed, engaging, emotionally deep, and enjoyable with drama, lack of communication, ups and downs and will take you on a roller coaster of emotions; scenes will make you tear up, break your heart, laugh out loud, smile, or just shake your head. The characters you will love and root for. Strongly recommended!

A little bit different story line. Not quite a roCkstar romance or your typical high school centered romance. I enjoyed the book and loved Hudson, the main male character. I had a lot of heartache for Chloe the main female character.

Nice
It was hard to like Chloe. She was so immature and this book was longer than Flynn's story. I would never let my boyfriend have a girlfriend. I would be the only one in his life that he hung out with. That Hudson would text and invite a girl to a party his girl should have been asked to by him and talked to first, I just felt the response of Chloe to this was unreal and for him to be so stupid to do that just would have gone all wrong.

Nice story
Had a hard time reading as I felt the reality of losing loved ones. The deal of Hudson inviting that girl to the same party he wanted to make up with Chloe was stupid. I don't think in reality it would have happened plus the fact he texted her instead when in California just was wrong. I would never want my guy to make friends with a girl. But the story of Chloe was good and I liked seeing her friends and what they were doing.

Wow....my heart. Chloe is a mess but Hudson is just the best friend anyone could ask for but how long can he actually wait to admit his feelings?
I fell in love with these 2 in the first book but from where this book kicks off and where it leaves things.....I couldn't ask for anything more.
This book leaves you feel fulfilled and wishing for your own Hudson.

Fantastic story! Characters that will steal your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love- hate deal as the characters face their demons. You will feel their emotions and struggles. A definite must read.

Alexandria Bishop's sophmore effort is fantastic! I had every interntion of reading a few pages and going to sleep tonight, but it didn't happen because I just couldn't put this one down. I am trying to put words together in a coherent way and not fan girl gushing. I read the first book a few month's ago, and I will admit I didn't really connect with it. I don't have an explanation for that, I suppose it could be the head space I was in, but I honestly think her writing vastly improved between these two (and I can't wait for the third!) In Falling for Hudson, all of the characters seem much more mature. {{{Slight spoiler warning for Finding Flynn, but you probably aren't going to read the second book in a series, without reading the first, right?? Shame on you, read in order so things make sense!! :-)}}}
Dealing (or not dealing as the case may be) with the fallout of the accident and death of Chloe's parents may have had a big part to play in the change from very high school-ish attitudes to relatable people regardless of age. Chloe is a hot mess through much of this book, but you really can't blame her. As a testament to Ms. Bishop's writing skill, you understand exactly why she is a hot mess, and a few sympathetic tears popped up for her from time to time (and I so am not a book crier.) She has a heck of a lot to deal with at too young of an age....not to mention, I realize I've read quite a few books in the meantime, but why is this Falling gor Hudson? I would have sworn she was after his brother Jax? That, to me, was perhaps the most poignant part of this book (And I truly cannot wait for Jax's book. I am curious about Jude, but Jax is my Trey for this series. If you don't get that reference, I will explain before the review is done.) I can honestly say I was on the rollercoaster of neverending emotions with Chloe throughout the book, and her deep connection with Jax made me smile, even if they confused me as much as themselves at times. Awkward sentence, but good sentiment, trust me.
Okay, to stop my rambling, I will wrap this up after one more note. There really needs to be a sixth star option when a book pulls of an insider surprise that makes the reader laugh with glee and continue grinning like an idiot long after thatbsection of the book has been read (and perhaps again when that reader is writing a review.) Hmmm, how do I put this without spoiling anything.....Ms. Bishop pulls off the most awesome tribute to the fantastic Olivia Cunning somewhere in this book, and it absolutely rocks. If you are a fan of rockstar romance and have not read Ms. Cunning's Sinners series, do not pass go, search that little box at the top for Backstage Pass and start one-clicking. Not only will it push Falling for Hudson over the top for you, I am quite sure Ms. Bishop will agree with me in saying they are must reads.
So 5 Electrified Guitars for Falling for Hudson - electrified because it is for mature readers of the 18+ variety only for explicit sex scenes. Pick up Finding Flynn, and even if you don't fall head over heels, give this one a chance. I am definitely thrilled that I did.

In this second book of the Marlowe series, we focus on Chloe, Ashtyn's friend. Ashtyn is dating Flynn one of the band members of Marlowe. Chloe has been spending her time with Jax. Audry, Ashtyn's mom works for a man named Carl Wilson who owns Lost Souls records and is also Flynn's father. Flynn is another member of Marlowe. Marlowe has signed a record deal with Oliver Morris and are moving to Portland, on the other side of the state from the girls. On the band's last night in town, Chloe plans on sealing the deal with Jax and how she feels about him and him about her, but he goes off with a group of wannabes and is doing body shots off of them while Chloe gets drunk from having to watch them dry hump Jax in the yard. What happens when Ashtyn comes over? Do the girls leave or stay? Remember the accident in the first book? This is when things change between Jax, Hudson, and Chloe. We find out who it was that Jax was doing body shots off of when the school year starts. We find out how Hudson and Jax both feel about Chloe, how Jax feels about Erin the night of the Halloween party, and it's great to see what Chloe does for Jax because she cares. What happens to Chloe when the English teacher makes her the object of attention in the classroom, about a poem on Death? What happens to Hudson and Chloe that weekend? When they are found, what does Hudson do? What about Hudson's mother's threats to him about the weekend trip alone with them, and him never having access to his trust fund? What does his father do? What happens when he goes to Eugene for the weekend with his parents? What happens when Hudson comes back early from Eugene? What does he find and what does he assume? I could only shake my head at Chloe and Hudson for assuming things, because you know what they say about assuming. I'm really looking forward to Jax's book and Jude's book. There was happily an HEA for this book. I didn't think there would be for quite a while there.

Falling for Hudson is book 2 in the Marlowe series
I didn't read book 1 - Finding Finn - prior to starting this book, but I kind of wished I did... anyway, Falling For Hudson can definitely be read as a standalone but is best read in series order...
This is going to be a quick review.. as I have a tone of books to review as I have been devouring lots of books over the Christmas holidays.... :)
I really loved Falling For Hudson...
OMG how amazing Hudson was <3
I need a Hudson in my life... I think all girls do
as he is such an amazing guy.... sigh <3
Chloe is dealing with the death of both her parents and she isn't dealing very well... as you could imagine with that kind of loss
Chloe loves both the Hartley boys
Hudson because he is sweet, caring and is there for her whenever she needs a shoulder to lean or cry on....
and Jax basically because he is a sexy, hot, funny bad boy
Both brothers want her... so she must choose which one she wants more
but how can she choose just 1...
Hudson has always been in love with Chloe and they have always been close... but he knows she has a thing for his cocky, ladies man brother Jax....
and he has held onto the hope that Chloe will one day love him as much as he does her...
He also knows what Chloe has been through and can see how much she is hurting... so he has put his feelings aside to just be there for her in any way he can....
and just prays that she chooses him over his playboy brother... he knows that Jax would probably leave her heart broken
where he would treasure the amazing girl that she is and never hurt her
but the choice is hers
Falling For Hudson was a real emotional read for me
at times I laughed out loud and also loved how sweet Hudson was... but I also really sad for Chloe... and Hudson
I was an emotional mess by the end :)
But I loved every bump in the journey to get there
I am definitely going to go back and read book 1 and I also cant wait for the next few books in the series... so I can see what is in store for this crazy group....
and emotional 4.5* Read
