Fall

Neither of them believed in love. But they believed in each other.

The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways.

In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip.

Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands.

Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor.

An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room.

Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun.

Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything.

All we have to do is trust enough to fall.

Well I guess there's always one book out of a series that ends up being disappointing. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series so I was looking forward to Jax's story. It took a while for me to get into it and I never quite connected to the characters. The whole book just felt jumbled to me. The exploration of Jax's depression and how a relationship fits into that would have made for an interesting enough story but I felt that the author mostly glazed over that part and threw in other unnecessary plot points. If this had been a stand-alone, I probably would have DNF'd it.

2022 re-read:
I held off on this re-read because I kept thinking that there was no way I loved Jax as much or more than I loved Killian and Scottie. I must have put this book on a pedestal and I didn't want to break it. BUT, I'm so glad I did. Jax and Stella are fantastic. I loved the author's footnotes – getting a peek into the writing process. I love everything I have written below in the previous review, so I'll make this one short. I'm just so glad it held up and I look forward to reading the next one now that it's out!!

Killian was my favorite until I got Jax's book. Something you have to know is that Jax had a suicide attempt before this series began. He battles with depression and it is something that is addressed and brought up in the book. And no, love does not cure him. I was worried that was the route the book was taking, but no. I hope I'm not spoiling anything, but I feel like this fact is so important to bring up.

This is another slower burn romance and I dug it. Their meet cute is awkward, adorable, and just so flippin' cute. Both characters made me feel so hard, my heart hurt so bad. They both mess up and have to deal with real consequences– they feel real.
I did have a problem with Jax being weird about her potentially being an escort, but this series has been so good about not slut-shaming, that I gave it a pass...
