Tonight We Fall: A Friends-to-Lovers Charity Romance Anthology
Three stories, two best friends, one night.
A single night can change everything, even for people who have known—and loved—each other for years. Whether it’s the childhood friend you don’t speak to anymore, the colleague you always wait for at the coffee machine, or the friend who’s always supported you in a thousand little ways, one moment… one word, one look, one encounter on a cold, lonely night… can turn everything you thought you knew on its head.
Because maybe your best friend is that person. The person. Your person.
...And maybe they have been all along.
Follow our friends and find out exactly what a difference one night can make.
Tonight We Fall is a charity anthology, with all proceeds from its sales benefiting Beyond Blue (Australia), RAINN (U.S.), and The Trevor Project (U.S.).
Tonight We Fall includes the following stories:
A Love for the Ages by Alexandra Gearing
When she arrives at her best friend’s house, Janie expects to find Luke’s birthday party in full swing. It is a big milestone, after all. Instead, she finds him sitting in a quiet house, and definitely not in any mood to celebrate. Janie is determined to brighten his night, but as unresolved feelings and secrets emerge between the two friends, it becomes clear that things between them are different than what either of them had ever expected—or dared to hope. An age gap romance.
State of the Art by Elektra Knight
Lex has cultivated the nail-and-bail method to an art. But when a night with his family blows up in his face, meaningless sex simply doesn’t cut it. No, the only company he craves is his best friend, Everett. But as the night goes on, it becomes clear that there are unresolved issues between them, and Lex is forced to face exactly what Everett means to him.
Basic Training by Pippa Glencoe
The last person Riley expects to run into when she’s out to dinner with her family is her estranged best friend, Evan. But there he is, in all his glory, home from basic training for Christmas. Suddenly, Riley has one chance to make things right between them before he’s gone again… this time, maybe forever.

I really love the theme of friends to lovers but it can be hard to do it right. This trio of short stories did it right! I love that this was written by three good friends, and that the proceeds are going to three different charities near and dear to their hearts.
All 3 are E rated with explicit sex scenes and lots of language, so be warned if that isn't your thing.
The first story, my favorite of the three, has a big age gap which I love, and which helps explain why they hadn't gotten together sooner. I would've loved more details about these two and their friendship!
The second story is M/M, two longtime best friends: one pining, the other oblivious - until suddenly he's not. Very sweet!
The third story is childhood friends who've had a break in their relationship after he confesses his feelings to her. I didn't like her reasons for rejecting him at first, or what happened to her at college, but it was realistic - and it made their reunion that much sweeter and more meaningful.

Tonight We Fall is a great best friends-to-lovers anthology by 3 new authors that have a bright future. This quick read contains 3 different tropes: age gap, M/M, and military. Each story is short but engaging and I enjoyed all three. I'm a sucker for best-friends-to-lovers and these stories hit all of the right notes for me. It makes you think: what would YOU do if you were in love with your best friend? I look forward to watching these new authors develop their craft further!

Gearing has captured first encouter intimacy in detail and rising sexual tension from two best mates that inevitably become soul mates/lovers. If you liked 50 shades of grey, you'll like this book. A series of 3 short stories.
