Falling Fast

[Eve1972]

I enjoyed this one. It was classic ARR. Well written and well paced. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. The sex scenes were hot. There was no angst or drama to speak of. No OM drama. Some OW drama (more about that in a bit). There was a nice array of interesting side characters, and both main characters were fairly likable. Colton was your typical ARR hero. Alpha. Hot. Sweet. All in from the start. Not much else to say about him, to be honest. He was a great hero. Gia was also very likable. She was sweet and kind. My only issue with her was I found her ridiculously naive at times. The whole boyfriend conversation had me rolling my eyes. Stuff like that inevitably ALWAYS makes the heroine look like an idiot (IMO). Lastly, this was all wrapped up in a very sugary sweet epilogue.



So the OW drama...sigh. I don't know about y'all, but I for one am sick of absurd over the top cartoon villain OW drama in books. Can none of these heroes just have a normal ex?? Do they all have to be psychotic and ridiculous in what they do? I rolled my eyes SO much over the antics of Colton's ex in this one. It didn't overly bother me in the sense that it affected my rating, but I did find it distracting enough that I felt the need to mention it. *lol* In any case, even with that, I still enjoyed this one. So it gets two solid thumbs up from yours truly.
