Falling for Rome #1
Falling For Rome
For Nakhti life has not been easy, and although she was the only child of an abusive mother, abandoned by her father, because she was not born a son, she is determined to be stronger than anything her parents could have imagined, and becomes a US Navy SEAL, a feat accomplished by few, and even fewer women.
It isn’t long before she is recruited by the FBI and eventually becomes a hired assassin. It’s safe to say that she’s proven herself several times over. Now 34, she’s exhausted and is looking to retire from a life of danger. However, she is given one last assignment, which brings her to the doorstep of the ruthless gangsta and drug dealer, Romeo Reevers, who lives in the heart of the ghetto.
On the outside, Rome looks like your average thug, but within is a genius that if discovered, could make him one of the government’s most coveted prizes. Will this thug and his brilliant mind be able to break down the walls of battle-hardened Nakhti or is her heart too damaged by her mother’s abuse to be revived?
Because of his extraordinary intelligence and abilities, Rome knows this will make him a target of the powers that be, therefore he is very untrusting of others, including the gorgeous and sexy assassin who’s captured his heart like no woman has ever done.
One is afraid to love and the other is afraid to trust. Will this unlikely pair be able to let go and let love in or are they doomed before they even begin?

Another fantastic story.
Edwina Fort is a mistress of storytelling. I am a late fan but glad I am a fan. She does have a way with words.

Legit this book is legit.
This book has it all, romance, action, intrigue, mystery, humor, spirituality, wisdom, lessons, and sexy all rolled into one book. There is a cliff hanger but it’s not a problem and let me tell you why, one the next book as of today is out so you can get it and get closure after his book and next this book was a decent length so even though it ends on a cliff you are satisfied when you get there. If that makes any kind of sense and if it doesn’t then forget I even said anything and just go buy the book. Lordy it’s good.

I just couldn’t put it down
This is one of those books when my dog is in front of me crying to go for is walk but I just could not put the book down. I love Rome and Nak story it’s so different from the rest. Can’t wait to read part 2 as soon as I walk this damn dog.

Just Ok👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Nothing really negative or positive. My ambivalence towards this book surprised me, but the writing may have been too formulaic for six books encompassing the same type of characters and storyline
With caveats, buy it, read it and enjoy.👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥

The story was quirky and interesting. It took a minute to get into the story. But this author kept me wondering where the story was going. The cliffhanger ending was not a deal breaker.

I should waited I have no patience!!
I checked first and knew I should have waited. Since I'm writing a review I obviously didn't listen lol. I have four favorite authors, all women, all sistas and Edwina is one. Anyway, per usual Edwina engulfs us in her world of storytelling and we are lucky enough to witness Nak and Rome fall in love. Rome had me looking at my husband like "you are so mediocre" lol. I literally had to shut myself up like " Kira this book is not real but your man is" LOL! I cannot be mad because he doesn't go around calling me "Minha Anjo" he doesn't even know Portuguese! Lol! Edwina gives you great story telling, romance and a bit of comedy. She drops gems too. I sit back and read her passages thinking how can I play a role in my community. How can I raise my son's to if the Ancient of Days were recruiting he would pick them. My brain is always in motion; focusing on multiple things at once. When I find an author who can quiet everything else and I'm focus only on their world they've created....fan for life. I would say I didn't agree with Bonita. Really Nak? That was so obvious lol. I also didn't agree with her actions at the end. I understood her anger but that wouldn't have been my route. She's very impulsive. I would have argued, had some adult play time after and made him buy me seven purses with shoes to match. So now I have to wait for part two. I'll wait faithfully but with a pout because as I stated I don't have much patience.

WAITED VERY IMPATIENTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay y'all..so I really, really tried to psych myself out by reminding myself "several" times before and while reading this book that there was going to be a part 2 so that I wouldn't be screaming at the end of it saying "NO!!! I NEED MORE!!! Sadly..smh..that didn't work!!! Edwina Fort's stories will definitely leave you in that frame mind. I don't care if it's part of a story or the whole story...your going to want more!!! PERIOD!!! So please don't psych yourself up like I did..it's pointless. I couldn't even think straight enough to write my review afterwards ...but I had to come back and let y'all know that this book is an EXTRAORDINARY read y'all !!! First of all Rome is too smart for his own good!! He thinks he has it all figured out when it comes to "everything"..HA!!..NOT!! Nak got this man all messed up!! These two are hilarious together. You definitely don't want to miss out on this Love Twisted story!! It will have you on a roller coaster of emotions..so brace yourself and enjoy the ride!!!

OMG
OMG,
Ms. Lady, you are so wrong for leaving me hanging yet again.
O wow just awesome and once again some deep mind thinking stuff. 5 🌟 my lady I Love it and I got this on my Amazon prime kindle membership, but just like before I have to go back and purchase it. The 5🌟 rating say that I want to keep this book, but then I knew when I was getting it on my Amazon prime kindle that your work, your skills, your talent is NOT for kindle reading it’s too good of a book to return for another book. These types of stories you want to keep and read the book for a second time.
May 2019 for Falling For Rome 2 ugh....You most definitely instill patients... I hate waiting. O well heading over to.....
Love Chronicles chapter 5 👏

Amazing.
Once again your book had me really out here looking for a Rome. His character is so complex. The men in your books are all strong and intelligent. But they rough too. I like how this book could be real. I mean I would believe angels are among us before Wolves and vamps. Also books have me reevaluating my life choices. Lol. I can't wait for part 2. Also so glad Hitta is going to get his story. I wanted to learn about this Teamaker. Is that form of jujitsu real? I'm trying to be like Nak. And is there such a thing as pre hypertension? 😂No really what is that?

A must read
I reeealy don't write many reviews, but Mrs. Fort I'm compelled to give credit where it's due, Falling For Rome took me through such a rollercoaster ride of emotions it was totally awesome and I walked away with so much to ponder over, I even read some passages several times for a good chuckle like rewinding a movie for a great scene, I even laughed out loud so good waiting in the MVA a few times that a few folks thought I was crazy lol the joy of e-books got to love the 😊 keep up the great work, I can't wait for your next book.

Another great book by this beautiful author!
Edwina Fort you have a brilliant mind and I love your work! I am only following two authors and you are one of them. All the signs was there that Rome's trust issues and his vanity was going to cause him to lose Nak but he did not see it and now she is gone. I am ready to read the journey of him finding her. I cannot wait to see how you put all these characters together. Until then I am loving the journey getting there.

I'm sitting here trying to find the words Edwina! Your books take me to another level. I have never read an author's book quite like yours! PLEASE continue to let God use you and spread your gift of writing and creative imagination. There are so many truth and nuggets in this book. The world really does need love but we to distracted by bullcrap to even care. Wow! You made me look at myself and reminded me that I need to become the change I want to see. Thank you and God bless you. I'm looking forward to part 2 and all your other books that have not been birth yet...

Rome is phenomenal!
OMG! This book was everything! Sassy spy, who can kick a**, and gorgeous man with genius mind. These two characters jumped off the pages. So smart, intriguing, mysterious and spicy. Loved it, and can't wait for part 2.

I knew I was going to LOVE Rome...
Since introduced to him I was intrigued by him. He kinda stole the scenes in the story featuring his sister Journey. By that books end we know he is still searching for Nakhti. As ingenious as he is he was still outsmarted by Nak. So glad I have part two already I have got to know how he plans on getting his rib back.
