Y'all, I have a new favorite Caisey Quinn book and it's called Falling for Fate. I really enjoyed Last Second Chance, the first book in her standalone Second Chance series, and was ridiculously excited to get my hands on Falling for Fate before it was released. I cracked it open and read it cover-to-cover (or the eBook version of this, anyhow) in one sitting. Falling for Fate is the type of book that grabs onto you in the first few pages and refuses to let go until it's over... and even once it's over, you can't help but want more of the characters and their story. Oh, and did I mention this version of Falling for Fate also has a bonus prequel novella, Falling for You, included? Oh, it's fantastic. 

Falling for Fate is the story of Fate and Dean. Fate is engaged to a guy who is a real jerk-wad (totally cleaning up my language here). It doesn't take long before we – and Fate – learn just how big of a jerk he is when Fate finds him screwing her "best friend" (I use quotations because, well, that's not something a friend would do to another) the night before their wedding. She runs off, bent on doing something so NOT HER and when Dean finds her on the beach, she decides he is the perfect person to take away her pain and help her forget. While their encounter was hot and passionate, she flees and leaves him with only the memory of her. Playboy Dean isn't ready to give her up, however, but since they didn't exchange numbers – or names for that matter – he doesn't have a lot to go on while looking for her. That is, until he runs into her again in New York City months later... where she works for the same company as he does.

There was so much to love about this book. The characters, however, are what drew me in to begin with. For a woman who had gone through some really tough things lately – checking her mom into rehab and finding out the life she thought she lived and the people she thought loved her – she didn't let it break her. Was the path she chose the healthiest thing ever? Probably not. But, it did put her in the path of something great. Fate was strong and funny and just plain likable. Dean had been burned in the past, so he was cautious with his heart. He was smoking hot and a really good guy. I liked how he helped Fate with the situation with her mom and how it was extended to other employees facing the same type of issues. I'm a sucker for a good second chance story and I LOVE reading about "forbidden" love. So, yeah, this book was right up my alley. 

Fate and Dean were so freaking good together. I loved their banter and their emails. It was obvious they were meant to be so much more than a casual fling. They were passionate and holy hell their sexy times were steamy. I felt all of their emotions and was with them through the ups and the downs. I may have even shed a tear or three (hundred). I'm an emotional reader and I love how Caisey's writing brings out all the feels for me. I always wind up completely in love with her characters and hate to give them up when the book is over. Falling for Fate is absolutely no exception. I'll definitely be due for a re-read of this one in a few months. 

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
