After We Fall (After We Fall, #2)

by Melanie Harlow

Jack Valentini isn’t my type. 

Sexy, brooding cowboys are fine in the movies, but in real life, I prefer a suit and tie. Proper manners. A close shave.

Jack might be gorgeous, but he’s also scruffy, rugged, and rude. He wants nothing to do with a “rich city girl” like me, and he isn’t afraid to say so.

But I’ve got a PR job to do for his family’s farm, so he’s stuck with me and I’m stuck with him. His glares. His moods. His tight jeans. His muscles.

His huge, hard muscles.

Pretty soon there’s a whole different kind of tension between us, the kind that has me misbehaving in barns, trees, and pickup trucks. I’ve never done anything so out of character—but it feels too good to stop.

And the more I learn about the grieving ex-Army sergeant, the better I understand him. Losing his wife left him broken and bitter and blaming himself. He doesn’t think he deserves a second chance at happiness.

But he’s wrong.

I don’t need to be his first love. If only he’d let me be his last.

The high of finding an impressive author.

***4.5 stars***

As a voracious reader, I see a lot of books and a lot of authors that it can sometimes be hard to keep track of who you've read. Well, I'd seen Melanie Harlow around and planned to read her but it wasn't until her book practically landed in my lap that I got the chance. Thank goodness to my sister who acted as my book fairy and told me I HAD to try her out.

I loved this emotional and sweet story. I smiled, shed a tear and blushed and squirmed throughout. There were so many good parts I couldn't name them all. If you're looking for a hot and steamy read with a hero and heroine you can't help but fall in love with, I definitely recommend After We Fall.

Next...I hear Frenched is good or maybe I should go for If You Were Mine? Decisions, decisions...

This had a little bit of everything. A-hole alpha male, funny sweet heroine. I found myself laughing, sighing and tearing up at various points in this book. Definitely a book to pick up.
