    Summary
  
 
Its been eleven months since Roxy and Reece have been civil to each other. Roxy has been in love with Reece since she was fifteen years old. But eleven months previous, he was drunk and she took him home but he practically rejected her at the time and she has kept a certain truth from him for almost a year and she knows she needs to tell him the truth, but fears his hatred of her. When he starts a pursuit of her in a very determined way, she knows that she will have little choice. Meanwhile, Roxy is struggling with losing her best friend Charlie, who was attacked by the blow to the head, and never recovered who he truly was. The man responsible is just getting out of prison, and there is a dangerous stalker on the loose. As Reece and Roxy work out past issues, there is a danger lurking that could keep Reece from protecting the one woman he has always loved.
 
  
    The Hero
  
 
Reece Anders, a police offer and ex marine, is quite the alpha male. He is all about "protect and serve" and he loves the career his life has chosen for him. Reece abhors lies, and for a very good reason. His father is incapable of being faithful to one woman. He and his brother have had to bear the brunt of it most of their lives. But Reece refuses to accept anything but the truth. Reece is a man that goes after what he wants and doesn't let anything stand in his way. He is confident and a bit cocky at times but utterly sexy in every way. What I liked about Reece is his nature to protect those especially a certain woman he has always cared about but has never let her in until now.
 
  
    The Heroine
  
 
Roxy comes from a loving family, and knows how lucky she is to have been raised by loving if a bit eccentric parents. Roxy is a lover of the arts, she has a great talent when it comes to painting and drawing, however she is attending college for graphic design, but not because its her passion but because she bears the guilt of what happened to her best friend Charlie. Roxy can be a bit impulsive and lets her anger get a hold of her without thinking. She can go into a situation without thinking things through. But I loved Roxy in so many ways. She has fire in her and I found her nature so intriguing. I loved how loyal she is, especially to her friend Charlie.
 
  
    Plot and Story Line
  
 
After reading Stay With Me, I was so eager to read Roxy and Reece's story, especially since we saw hints of the chemistry between them in Stay With Me. But when I saw the price at only.99 cents I grabbed it right up!!! Because what a great price for a good romance. There were quite a few things that I had a fun time with on this book. What I enjoyed most was seeing Reece and Roxy work through their differences to find some common ground. It was very interesting seeing how they come together in the end here.

  
    I’m scared, too. And there are times I question what I deserve, but we’re in this together. So fall with me,
  

I was very fascinated by the idea of a stalker, that was different and it has been so long since I read a story with that aspect in it. The actual romance between Reece and Roxy was splendid, I did like how they worked through their problems and create a solid connection to each other. Boy do these two have chemistry!!! HOT!!!

  
    kissed me like he had all the time in the world. Slowly at first, just a brushing of his mouth against mine, and then deeper, parting my lips with his tongue. It wasn’t just a kiss. Not when his tongue danced over mine or the way he tasted me. Reece turned kissing into an art form, and if I had to attach a color to it, to get it on canvas, it would be supple shades of reds and purples.
  

There are some tear jerking moments though, especially in the end there, and I am still not sure about that twist because the circumstances surrounding Charlie just about broke my heart but I did like seeing Roxy come to terms with her past and make changes for her present and future that definitely lightened her up in ways that I felt were needed to happen.
 
  
    The Cover
  
 
ooh I love this cover and how often do we have covers with the female models that wear GLASSES!!! WOWZERS...I love that.
 
  
    Overall View
  
 
Fall With Me was a sensational addition to this marvelous New Adult romance series J Lynn has created for us!!! Loved the unique dramatic twists and romantic developments and seeing some other couples we love as well play a part in it.

Predictable, cheesy and annoying characters. This series has gone downhill and I give up. The most exciting thing was the offhand comments about Cam/Avery and Britt/Ollie tbh. This doesn't mean I won't read more J. Lynn books but I think I'll probably just stick to her fantasy books because I usually really enjoy those.

Anybody who knows me, knows how much I love this series. I absolutely adored this book. I impatiently waited for its release, and couldn't wait to begin devouring this amazingly awesome book.

So, Roxie has been avoiding Reece for months embarrassed by the slight mishap. However, Reece mistakingly believes they slept together, and even though they almost did, he passed out. He doesn't know that they never slept together as he was extremely drunk and didn't deal with the 'aftermath' well in the morning. Inadvertently, he hurt Roxie's feelings and after nursing her hurt for a while and avoiding him, she was going to come clean about what actually happened. Until Reece started avoiding her. And now one simple misunderstanding has blown to epic proportions.

I loved this book - Roxie was such a strong character and I really admired her. I had tears in my eyes reading about what happened to her bestfriend and why. One of my closest friends is gay, and it just goes to show how violent crimes still occur due to homosexuality. This really hit home for me. Roxie was quirky and loveable - she is definitely someone I'd love to know in real life. She was kickass. 

Reece. Sigh. I have a thing for guys in uniforms, or leather cuts, or football gear. Basically, I have a thing for hot alpha-males, don't sue. Reece was such a hot little sweetie pie in this book. He's had enough with this avoidance shit - the only thing he regrets about what he thinks happened that night, is the fact he doesn't remember. He's had enough, and is determined to get things back on track with Roxie. Yes, he values their friendship from before that night, but he now wants more. And he's determined to get it.

That thing with the stalker/rapist creeped me out. I live in an old house, and now have nightmares of there being a secret passageway so some creep get in to the house. Not cool.

Overall, I adore this series, and this book was just another kickass one on top of the rest. I am sooooo stoked for Colton's novella - I already love this guy. And I so cannot wait till Nick's book.

In Fall with Me, Roxy has been in love with Reece since she was 15, but when Reece thought he slept with her on a night when he was drunk, Roxy takes exception to him characterizing their night together as "a mistake." For months, Roxy has avoided Reece, even though she knows they didn't really sleep together that night, but Reece has started to show up after work and making it seem as though he is really interested in pursuing a relationship with her. At the same time, Roxy is suffering with anger, frustration, and guilt as the man who hurt her best friend is getting out of jail and wants to see her to make amends. Will Roxy and Reece be able to move past their secrets in order to find happiness together, and will Roxy discover what has been happening in her apartment as she finds things in odd places? Is her apartment haunted?
This story is an extremely well written romance that asks lots of questions about lying, secrets, and guilt. The only problem that I had with the story was that Reece seemed too good to be true, but other than that minor complaint, I really enjoyed this story.

Holy crap! What a book. Warning: Fall with Me is of the unputdownable variety, so make sure you clear your schedule before you start.

I was excited to get Roxy and Reece’s story. I wasn’t disappointed. They were a great pairing. Seeing them together made me a little sad that they lost a year because of one night and a secret, but I can’t deny I loved watching them find a way back to each other. They were sweet and sexy and the sparks never stopped flying between them.

The characters were great. Roxy was easily relatable on a number of levels. I loved her sarcastic t-shirts and attitude in general. I wish she had been a little more open, sooner, however. She was keeping a lot inside. And who doesn’t love a hot cop? Reece was everything I love about JLA’s heroes and more. He was just alpha enough without being overbearing. No player/manwhore/douchebag here. He’s the real thing. And he’s a little more open with the communication than Roxy was. While part of me (greedily) wishes we had seen more inside his head during this book, I don’t really feel his POV was necessary. He wasn’t afraid to put his feelings and thoughts out there… one more reason to adore him.

That stalker storyline? What a mindfuck. You know when you’re watching a horror movie and you’re all “Don’t go in there girl!” … that was me with this book, except I was yelling at Roxy to not be a stupid girl. (What with her police officer boyfriend and strange things going on in nearby towns…) And I definitely took a quick break from reading to make sure my doors and windows were all securely locked. This one will get inside your head. If you live alone, I recommend reading it during daylight hours. :)

Fall with Me was (more than) a (bit of a) tearjerker, too. The story of Roxy’s friend Charlie broke my heart. It’s pretty much been my own personal worst nightmare (or near the top of the list, anyhow) since I became friends with so many gay men starting in college. I couldn’t help but put myself in her shoes. It took awhile to get the full story and I understood her guilt once I learned all the details, but I didn’t fault her. But, I also get why she felt as she did. I can’t say I would’ve felt any differently if I was in her shoes.

This book was a great addition to the Wait for You series. I love how we get a glimpse of the other couples from the earlier books here. It’s always nice to catch up with old favorites while falling in love with new characters.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.

Jennifer L. Armentrout guys. JLA. She's my queen, my favourite author of all, and I'm always so happy while reading one of her books. 
I love the Wait for You series, and my favourite one will always be the first book, but I have to say that this fourth book was really good! I always love it when there is an investigation. So this one is my second favourite of the series.
