Falling Hard & Fast #3
Falling Hard
Adrian— Erica came into my gym, taking advantage of the free trial we offered, but I was the one itching to take advantage of her for life. I wanted her from the second I saw her, and I’d do anything to make it happen.
Erica— I only signed up for a free trial so I could meet a complete stranger that caught my attention as he walked into the gym. It was crazy and wild, but every day my obsession grew. My free trial was almost done when we finally met. Adrian Greco owned the gym and me and made sure I knew it.
This is a steamy-sweet read. The couple made a brief appearance in Falling for the Boss.

Hero is a gym owner and heroine is his client. When he sees her it’s instalove. Hot and cute couple! Loved the jealous and possessive hero. Loved the epilogue with 2 kids and pregnant heroine. Really entertaining read. Good job C.M Steele!
Safe: virgin heroine and no manwhore!

Pretty short and sweet with dash of steam.
Adrian has been keeping his eye on new guest/workout client Erica and he wants to meet and talk to her because he knows shes the one. Even when an employee told him she's getting married that wont stop him from claiming his woman. But little did he know Erica has been sorta spying/stalking him when she walked past his gym from her fathers place and she isnt marrying anyone even if her butthead of a father is trying to force her. But her free membership is running out. And when they finally talk its hawt and well lots of spanking lol. Also when you find out about the "Fiance " OMG i laughed don't worry he wasnt even interested in Erica ;).. all i gotta say is dang mama you get it. ;)
No ow/om drama(unless you count one gym chick who he turned down), no cheating, sexy times,tiny drama, virgin gal and no manwhore

Quick read about Adrian and Erica. They both were admiring each other from afar and when they do meet, their chemistry and attraction is explosive. Loved this quick, steamy read and I will be reading more from this author.

You may remember Adrian and Erica from Falling for the Boss. They were briefly mentioned but enough to leave me curious for their story. And a great story they have. This was a quick, steamy, perfect for a lunch hour read. Virgin h, no details about H's past, safe, no abuse, dual POV, epilogues at 1 and 2 years later. Grab this one up and if you haven't read Falling for the Boss or Falling for the Enemy, I highly suggest doing so.

I am a mega C.M. Steele fan and I pretty much always love her books and this was no different. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Erica was meeting her father the night that she spotted Adrian disappearing into the gym, she was obsessed with one look at him and she decides that she has to meet him so when she discovers that the gym he vanished into is having a free weeks trial it’s the opportunity that she was looking for but when the week is nearly up and she has only caught a glimpse of him could she be about to fail at meeting the man of her dreams and will she be forced to marry the man that her father has chosen for her?
Adrian is a successful business owner after buying the gym a few years ago even he was surprised at how successful it has become but there is something missing in his life and she is training in his gym, now all he has to do is show her that she is his but every time he decides to make his move she vanishes. Knowing that he will not rest until he claims her as his own the next time he sees her. Can he claim her as his and make her his wife or has he missed his chance?
Ms Steele has a unique ability to write short books that always feel like complete stories and never ever feel like I’ve missed out on anything with her books. 4* Read

His Gym Bunny
This was a sexy steam gym themed romance. Plenty of growly alpha moments and of course the s*x was off the charts hot.

This is a short insta-love story. Adrian is a complete possessive, alpha where he only takes one look at Erica and he knows she’s the one. She feels the same. Even so, I felt as though there was no built up or some other connection before they actually speak to each other and profess their love. It’s sweet and sexy though. There are side characters with their own storyline that sort of correlate with Erica as well so it did add to the plot somewhat.

Falling Hard was such a fun short and sexy read! Definitely instalove for Adrian and Erica although circumstances keep them apart for a few days. However once Adrian corners his girl, the alpha gym owner wastes no time to claim his innocent woman. Falling Hard is totally safe and totally steamy! I'm always happy when C.M. Steele releases a new book, never disappointed!

Adrian and Erica just about melted my e-reader! These two couldn't have been better suited for each other if you tried. So hot and very intense Adrian is an unstoppable force focused on Erica. She loves pushing his buttons and enjoying the fireworks that follow. I enjoyed them so much, I would have loved more time with them! Great job Ms. Steele!

Erica and Adrian met by chance. I liked that their story was detailed in a way that let me come along for the ride. The chemistry for me became such a part of the story it was like the third character.

Loved it! Cute instalove story. Safe slight ow/om drama but neither the H or the h wanted anything to do with them and nothing happened with the ow/om. Cute epilogues!

Falling hard was an unexpected surprise, Adrian and Erica have a sweet connection. I was hooked from the get go! It's swoony and fun! It's a quick read, that is perfect to read snuggled up in bed.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When gym owner, Adrian spots a pretty young woman in his gym he has to have her. Erica isn’t looking for love but as soon as she saw Adrian, she joined his gym.
The chemistry between Adrian and Erica is clear to see and I loved them together. They made a cute couple.
I was confused by Rachael. One minute she was snotty and the next she was ok.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.

I just adore anything C.M. Steele writes, this one included! Adrian is a sexy, possessive, intense, OTT alpha. From the moment he sees Erica at the gym he owns, Adrian knows she's his future and vows to do anything in his power to make it happen. Erica is sweet, innocent, sassy, and utterly adorable. She joins Adrian's gym for a trial run after seeing him enter one day. I love that Erica had no idea Adrian owns the gym; she wants him for himself. This is a sweet, sexy, OTT romance. A quick read that's a perfect break in your day!

I love this author's work! She completely encapsulates the essence of attraction & steamy love!
Adrian is the alpha male in this story & Erica, his obsession.
She sees him going into a gym & decides to try out the "free trial" just to get a closer look at him. Little does she know that Adrian owns the gym & from his office, he is watching her every move & salivating!
What ensues is a whirlwind romance & I got completely caught up in their story!
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone - It's a short, steamy & beautiful read to blow your socks off!
Well done C.M. I need more & soon!

Adrian is the owner of an elite gym and has no time or interest in women, that was until Erica walked into his gym. Erica walks into the gym on a whim following the sexiest man that she has ever seen. When these two finally come face to face the fireworks go off and its and instant attraction between the two of them. Can Erica tame Adrian's wild ways and will Adrian be the man that Erica needs. This was a sexy and steamy read and loved reading this book.

Oh I loved Falling Hard by C.M. Steele. Erica and Adrian become obsessed with each other before they ever meet. Erica joins the gym where she first saw Adrian to get close to him, unaware he is the owner. She also doesn't know that he has been watching her during her gym visits planning to make his move. This was more than just a lust at first sight but it was love at first sight. Adrian was determined to claim Erica and to let everyone know she belonged to him. This story also had a few twists that I totally did not see coming! Definitely recommend.

What a great story
This book kind of had me in stitches because of Adrien's continual reaction to Erica. They were perfect together but her father had a different opinion. Her parents were divorced ,he tried to get Erica married to his business associate. That was one of his downfalls. This book was fun to read,, thanks. It also reminded me of my family, my sister was 2 years older than me, my brother 11 1/2 months and then me...stair steps...plus we have 6 older brothers and sisters...lol. It does happen :)

This book was adorable and I want to read it like 10 more times. Erica saw Adrian one day going into the gym and decided to join on a free trial to see if she could get his attention. And boy did she succeed! Adrian was OBSESSED with Erica it was adorable. And I loved how Erica was so sassy and fun. A great short read!

check out my tags/shelves for more info
i give it a extra .5 because i like how the author didn’t just abruptly end the story once the H and h made there relationship official unlike most other short instalove-ish stories like this one.
v heroine (idk about hero)
slowinsta
hot/sexual build up
no protection
slight om/ow drama (other ppl would flirt with them, both uninterested)
safe
slight side character drama
slight breeding kink
hea
epilogue
spicy lvl 4/5

What a great story. Erica came into Adrian's gym, taking advantage of the free trial they offered, but he was the one itching to take advantage of her for life. This was quick, fast-paced, sweet, steamy, and romantic. Glad things worked out for Erica's mom. They deserve happiness as well.

If only me going to the gym would result in me meeting a man like Adrian, I'd go everyday!!! Adrian and Erica are going to make you love them. Not just as characters but because that insta worked for them.
It's a quick read but hits the spot in your heart. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

Erica sees Adrain go into the gym so she decides to join on the 30 days free program not knowing he owns the gym. When he sees her his alpha male kicks in and knows instantly that she is the one. They chemistry is off the charts with her feisty sassy self and he is the one hot alpha man who knows what he wants.
