When not writing you'll find me at my day job, spending time with my pet rabbits, photography, crafting, walking/birdspotting and reading.

Twisted and dark, Katie’s life is a race against the clock to get away from the madman who’s saved her life but who is also her worst nightmare.
In this Misery-esque story, Katie is a budding business owner. Getting her flowers out into the world is her dream and when she gets a large order for a wedding, she is ecstatic. Getting the order together builds her confidence, and she is happy to finally make the delivery. On the way home, however, her luck changes when she crashes and is taken home by Angus.
With suspense on every page, we see the growing concern of Katie’s loved ones when she doesn’t return as well as the confusing “domestic” life that Angus tries to trick Katie into. The characters were well fleshed out, each with their strengths and weaknesses clearly defined.
Interesting read for fans of dark romance.

This was a ARC copy.
My heart goes out to Katie and Finley. This book is such a mix of emotions and drama. Fighting the past, being trapped with no way out. But love has a way of finding where it has to be.
Falling for Katie is an amazing well written and rounded book. It has everything a good romance needs. Tears, laughter, love and hopelessness that keeps you on the edge of your seat and demands you continue reading even when your brain wants sleep.
This book will not disappoint. I know people will enjoy this book and there are characters you will also love to hate. Bad man..lol
The author hit the romance mark with this one. Loved it.

Excellent and well-written. This is a dark and gripping romantic story with strong and developed characters. Katie is abducted more than once by horrible men and made to suffer badly. She’s a tough one though, and she has a wonderful man who would go to the ends of the earth to find and save her. Despite the darkness in this story, there are many good people who love and help her. As another reviewer said, if you like light-hearted romance this isn’t the book for you. However, if you like romantic suspense that you can really sink your teeth into, read this one!

March 11, 2020Good storyline and when the action got going, it was very riveting, although I found it a little slow in places. Then, just when you think its all is nicely wound up, there is a twist to the storyline and it all takes off again!
You don't have to read the Book 1 first. This is a standalone story.

I really enjoyed this book, but it is a bit darker than what I was expecting. If you are looking for a light hearted romance, this is not the book for you. The characters are well developed, and I loved the lookback on the characters from the previous book. I am so excited to see what this great author will come up with next!

Who doesnt love LOVE?
In my youth, I devoured romance novels, two a day...now all grown up, I’ve gotten away from the habit, but this book reminds me that it's never too late to go back...I love love stories and this one doesn't disappoint. Gotta check out her others now...great book!

I’d had this book on my Kindle for a long while before I started reading it. I saw the author posting about it on Facebook and eventually decided to give it a try. However, I gave up after three chapters because it felt like I was reading Katie, the main character’s diary. There was nothing to pique my curiosity and make me suspect something was going to happen to her. I enjoyed the first couple of chapters as we learnt about her and the business but when chapter three was more of the same, I became bored.
This book has got some great reviews, it has a great cover, and the description is enticing. So when the time was right, I gave it another go and started from where I left off. At chapter four the story starts. Katie is kidnapped, her friends and family are frantic and it is a riveting and suspenseful read.
I was waiting for the love interest to arrive and when he did, I didn’t recognise him. He came across as a bit sleezy with his thoughts. The poor girl was going through hell with her kidnapper and he all he was thinking about was having sex with her. He eventually turns into a hero as rescues her.
Just when you think the story is nicely wound up, it continues at the pace of the first three chapters before suddenly taking off again with another twist to the storyline. Well told, very suspenseful and keeps the reader glued to the page. A twist to the tale I wasn’t expecting.
Overall, the action and thrills, along with the romance are all in there. The author knows how to pack a punch and you will enjoy it.
This is book two in the Romancing in Scotland series. The characters from book one do appear and it doesn’t matter that you don’t know their story. The book can be read in any order and standalone stories.
If you are a fan of series, J M Ralley has more. Go over to Amazon , follow her and see what other great books she has.
