Book Review: Falling For Him by Ali Parker

Not everyone deserves a second chance. My brother’s best friend surely doesn’t after leaving home without a concern. Even when my brother died, he couldn’t handle it. Good for him. Life moves on and changes. After years of trying to make it in New York, I find myself headed back home. This time with a little girl and no hubs to help. I’m a big girl though. I can make this work in my favor. Until he shows up. And fate would have it that I’m forced to go out for coffee with him to make up for an accident I caused. He’s beyond gorgeous, a billionaire, and stares at me like I’m the only woman in the room. And he wants to help me dream again. First about business, then about love. I try to refuse, but he has this way about him. He’s bullheaded and dominant, unwilling to relent. Scarily enough, he’s exactly what I need. I’m doing the one thing I hoped I wouldn’t—falling for him. Again.

My Review:

Sweet and spicy; these are the two words that I think best describe this story. Either that or ‘love’ and ‘hate’. Noah and Maggie feel them for each other, and I was feeling them towards our leading couple. It may be a bit of a cop-out to use the line, but it’s where my mind has gone: when they were good, they were very very good, but when they were bad, they were horrid. Maggie and Noah together were a beautiful sight to behold. Sweet and loving and reaffirming my belief in second chances. When they weren’t together, I wanted to take the pair of them and smack their heads together because all it would have taken was one adult conversation to clear up everything that was going wrong. It’s become a pet peeve of mine when the romantic leads fall apart because they can’t work up enough nerve to talk to one another. Mind you, they do finally talk and that leads into one of the cutest, sappiest endings I’ve read in a while. Now I’m looking forward to more stories about their extended “families”.

I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
