F*ck and Fall In Love absolutely lived up to its title. That's exactly what Jane and Nigel did. What was suppose to be a one night stand, turned into an unexpected HEA. This couple was annoyingly cute. Jane shot her shot and ended up with a fiancee and a baby on the way. Nicole Falls put her foot in this book. F*ck and Fall In Love was fun, flirty, dirty, and sweet. I highly recommend it.

The promise of this amazing title is more than upheld in this quick, dirty, and romantic novella from Nicole Falls. Best read snuggled up in the covers and all in one go, Jane and Nigel's one night stand turning into the best happily ever after was so good.

Highly recommend.

Jane and Nigel met when Jane went on a business trip. He was the bouncer at the bar she went to in her hotel, she saw him and wanted him, but wasn't sure. When she finally met him, she gave him her hotel key and you know what happened. Jane and Nigel would only see each other when she came for business. The second time she came, she stayed a little longer and he told her he wanted to see where this would go. They had a long distance relationship, but it worked. Then they had their HEA!!! I loved everything about this story from the sex, the bar scenes with Spanish April and how they met . Nigel was a breath of fresh air and man who was sure about what he wanted and how to keep what he wanted. This was a quick read, but everything was answered for me, Nicole Falls you are the bomb!!!

5 “leaning into the good” stars!

This book was quick, but hit ALL the right spots, and checked all the boxes. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Holistic love is a beautiful thing.

Making a movie with a man and acting like that ain’t your man is insane

This was a short but sweet story about falling in love with no pretenses. This book was a breath of fresh air. There were no crazy ex’s or issues happening. It was just two people met, had hot sex, began seeing each other seriously and fell in love.

Now in the real world we all know there are issues that come up in relationships, but this wasn’t the book for that type of thing. It allowed the reader to live in a fantasy world where handsome men with kind hearts and nice packages fall head over heels for good girls with a wild side.

Though I usually like the plot twists and the mystery of discovering the characters and what makes them tick, this wasn’t the place for that. This book was short and sweet. Sometimes that’s all we need in our lives when we want to escape reality.

Nigel & Jane ♥️

I was too stoked when Miss Falls announced this novella on IG. I quickly went straight to my Kindle. I loved this quick read. I felt that it lack nothing at all🙅🏾‍♀️. I’ve books with twice as many words and craved more when I was done reading it because it just didn’t seem finished in my book ( no pun intended). This story was well developed and took me on the journey of these people who took a chance on love 💕. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't get enough of Nigel and Jane this read spews short but packed such an amazing story from beginning to end. I knew from that first night with all the passion and chemistry they exuded not only in the bedroom but outside that they were destined to be together. Nicole knows how to give us steam,romance,and happy endings all in one and I can't wait for what's next

This author is the queen of novellas, because she keeps me so invested in these short stories! Jane meets Nigel on a work trip when he's working at the hotel she's staying at. Their one night together is unforgettable, and as she makes return business trips, their connection gets stronger and stronger. I loved this one!

F*ck And Fall In Love by Nicole Falls narrated by Wesleigh Siobhan was a recommendation from a book club I'm in! This novella is short and hot af!!! Wesleigh did her thing as Jane and Nigel. I did not miss a male voice because Wesleigh's male voice is 👌🏽🔥!!!

Jane is a corporate baddie who meets Nigel on a work trip, and whew—their one-night stand turns into so much more. 👀 I loved how the story was broken up like business quarters, it fit their journey perfectly. Steamy, spicy, and grown folks being grown—Nicole Falls did her thing with this one! 🥰

Shout out to the Booskidoop!

First, can we talk about how it seems the Jamaican food spots always run out of food in real life AND in fiction!! That had me dying!!

I loved everything about this novella! It was funny, spicy and to the point!

If you enjoyed Set by Alexandria House, like myself, this one should be next up on your radar!
This travel hook up strangers to lovers romance was short, steamy and sassy. I laughed out loud so hard I should probably be concerned about my damn self!

I can totally see a home girl or two of mine going down this exact path and me being their "Ebonee" supporting from the sidelines. Because when a chance at love presents itself, it would be wise for you to take it.

Guess I need to grab the sequel for Ebonee's story!

liked this book, but I think I have super high standards from my Love Sisters novella. I felt it was kind of rushed and just crammed with lots of sex. won’t deter me from reading another from this author though.

The title says it all.

This is a quick, fun read with all the "feels" . Nothing was left out of this novella except a lot of unnecessary drama. I quickly fell in love with these two and I hope this wasn't the last time we'll be seeing them.

This is a hot little novella. Loved everything about it until the end when Jane announced her pregnancy. I don't know why all romance novels think that throwing in a pregnancy adds to the romance. Sometimes it doesn't.

I enjoyed this story. Hopefully one day I can find me a Nigel on one of my trips. The banter between Jane and Nigel was cute and funny.
