Falling Paperback – July 12, 2016

The blurb pretty much self explanatory......***********************************************************I have to admit i started out reading and i was getting ticked off at the mental checklists Jeremy kept doing. I almost DNF but i continued to plow through. I am so glad I did. I loved it: simply enjoyable and entertaining. We have two MC's Jeremy and Nick: each are lonely. Jeremy wanting the love so many of his friends have found; has terrible experiences with love and Nick,straight, just moved to the area and had no real friends developed yet. Nick, very sweet and nice, decided to help Jeremy out of a sticky situation where he had drunk posted his supposed accomplishments and his great boyfriend. Now they were pretend boy friends and off it goes. It is very entertaining, slow building, gay for you romance-no instant love-(maybe one sided lust on Jeremy's side since Nick is straight with an adorable 6 year old Ava.). To me it was more than that: they began friends doing stuff together: soon Nick began experiencing "feelings" more than friendship for Jeremy,(nicknamed J by Nick) and Jeremy has done what he thought he never would do"fall for a straight guy". Now this internal rambling and mental obsessive check listing is now an adorable, quirky trait. As one would know, some anguish occurs, but this book is an awesome, humorous and entertaining read. Both MC's are flawed and I love how Sierra presents sensitive information. I find her writing gets better as time goes on. "Falling" appears to be the 3rd in the same world as "Someday" and "Delicious" but can be read by itself but it is much better reading the others first to get the field of the world Sierra created. Read and enjoy. Highly recommend it.*****************************************ARC given by the author for an honest review.

I loved how Jeremy's story flowed. It contained angst, miscommunication, and a manipulative ex, but the entire story was one I couldn't put down once I started reading it. Jeremy tells a fib when he's out drinking one night and while at the gym, he runs into the reunion coordinator to his high school reunion who read all his lies from the night before, and mistakes Nick, a trainer at the gym, for Jeremy's boyfriend. Nick goes along with it and they soon realize they enjoy each other's company and become friends. Nick thinks he's straight, but he loves being Jeremy's fake boyfriend and soon, it becomes real for him. This is a lovely read, parts of which broke my heart, but the two are destined to be together. A highly recommended romance!!

My favorite of Sierra Ridley's novels is "Guardian". I found it to be the most even story telling and not where you had to suspend disbelief. My second favorite is "Delicious" where you really had to suspend disbelief in that Gavin kept telling himself and the reader that Ben was straight. I think I developed a crush on Ben and have found myself reading certain parts several times. One can always dream. ;)I honestly don't know why Jeremy and Nick are so lackluster in comparison to the above books. I bought it in the last of July and still can't finish it. I find it difficult for Nick to be admired to such a high strung character as Jeremy. Nick's ex-wife is even blah as the dictator of Nick's life due to the two of them sharing a daughter.With all the positive reviews and if you are a huge Sierra Riley fan, go for it. If you are just starting out with reading her works, I wouldn't start here.

This is my first Sierra Riley book and I LOVED this book! It is sweet, heart-warming, hot, sexy, endearing, and HILARIOUS! OMG I could not stop laughing during the scene when Jeremy and Nick meet! And the book is peppered with hilarious turns of phrases throughout. And the feel-good story that has you rooting for this relationship is just so sexy. And not just the sex scenes. Riley is brilliant with the way she builds up the longing between these two INCREDIBLY likable characters, and then she makes magic with just a touch or a look. And the sex scenes were fantastic! I am not a fan of sex sex and more sex just for the sake of sex. These sex scenes were so driven by how desperate these guys are for each other and how absolutely blissful they are to be together. I love the A,B,C... stuff Jeremy does in head - it is done so well and it is so funny! This book is JUST. SO. GOOD.

OK, so gay Jeremy (foreground on the cover) is not too swift when it comes to choosing potential relationships, and straight, divorced father Nick (on the left) doesn't seem to want to date any woman now. So how do they wind up as accidental boyfriends in Tulsa?The scenario is outrageous, some of the characters are off-the-wall, and even though there is a deliciously precocious six-year-old named Ava in the mix, this is a heartwarming, sometimes overly sweet, Gay4You love story that turns believable in the end.The wonderful bunch of characters that Sierra Riley has held over from the other two books in the series are here. The way Jeremy and Nick eventually settle their long-distance relationship is believable enough to have spurred me to purchase the next one in the series (Again), which is enchanting me as I write this review.

Nick & Jeremy have a really sweet connection with their dialogue--especially in the beginning when they are being "fake" boyfriends. This was so fun to read. Nick and Jeremy are both overwhelmed and giddy with their insta-love which makes their story just adorable. And, there are plenty of lovely moments of platonic chemistry & humor that really show how they were meant for each other.While this is a standalone story, it is 3rd in a series (Someday & Delicious are the first 2) of men who identify as straight, but end up falling in love with gay men in Tulsa, OK. All three of these books emphasize the creation and building of the relationships, so the reader can't help but root for the couple as they slowly get honest with themselves.Their story is a warm, fuzzy, joy to read.
