Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.
Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.
But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.
*This book is recommended for readers 18 and over*
~ My Thoughts ~
Reece + Roxy = ⚡️
An MC who wears glasses and shirts with nerdy sayings?
Btw, if Fall With Me were made into a movie, I vote Zoey D play the part of Roxy. And Theo James could play the part of Reece. I know, I know, he was the inspiration for Jax in Stay With Me, but let's be honest. Theo could be cast as all the heroes in all of the Wait For You series book-to-screen adaptations, I wouldn't mind.
I love all of JLA's stories but this one---well, this one kind of freaked me out a little. In fact, the following gifs represent my reaction while reading...
What---is going on right now?
No REALLY...
Wait. Is that...OMG WHAT?!
Yeah, okay, I'll just be over here in my safe place---hiding.
As with the other books in this series, I enjoyed the characters, fast pace, the relationships forged and of course the romance, but what really stood out was the creep factor. The stalker element kicked this up a notch from romantic suspense to "sleep with the lights on". On more than one occasion, I found myself wanting to cover my eyes and read through my fingers. There may have also been some yelling at the characters too.
Maybe.
Read it.

~ Excerpt ~
Someone—was it Melvin?—catcalled as
Reece led me down the hall, and my cheeks flushed. “Okay, heman, I can walk all
by my little self.”
He cast a look over his shoulder at
me as he opened the office door. “I’m sure you can.”
Then he pulled me inside.
My gaze flipped to the roses—the
roses!—but before I could say a word, he closed the door and my back was
pressed against it, his hands planted on either side of my head and his face
right in mine. Like right there, within kissing distance.
Wow.
“So, I was at my father’s place in
New Jersey most of the day, and you know, he lives out near the Pine Barrens,
so service is shit.”
I nodded even though I really
wasn’t processing what he was saying as I was too busy staring at his mouth.
Those lips, fuller on the bottom, drove me to distraction.
“I pull out of his driveway and I
have all these messages from Dennis,” he continued, and I finally caught on to
what he was talking about. “I honestly thought he was messing with me at
first.”
I cringed. “He . . . um, he wasn’t.”
He shot me a bland look. “That much
I figured out.” His hands slid on the door, stopping just shy of touching my
shoulders. “What did he do to you?”
“What?” I blinked.
“What did that bastard do to make
you throw a book through his windshield?”
Oh. Oh. My heart was now wiggling along with my stomach. “He really
didn’t do anything. I just lost my cool. He wanted to talk to me, and I didn’t
want to talk to him.”
“You don’t have to talk to him.”
“That’s what Dennis said, but I
shouldn’t have damaged his car.”
A muscle flexed along his right
jaw. “That’s true.” He shook his head. “Damn, Roxy, can’t say I’m surprised.”
My brows flew up. “You’re not?”
He laughed under his breath. “Babe,
you’ve always had a hell of a temper on you.”
Ah, that was kind of true. “Is that
a good thing or a bad thing?”
Reece cocked his head to the side.
“A sexy thing, but vandalism and destruction of property doesn’t look good on
you, sweets.”
“No. It doesn’t match my manicure.”
I raised my hands, flashing him the blue nails.
He laughed again and then he
sobered up, just like that. Cop Face was on, and yeah . . . the low coiling in
my stomach told me I found Cop Face arousing. “You’re lucky. He could’ve
pressed charges, and this conversation would be going in a whole different direction.”
My own half smile slipped off my
face. “I know. It’s . . . I was just with Charlie, and he’s . . .” Unable to
continue, I forced a casual shrug I didn’t feel. “What are you going to do with
me?”
His lips parted as his chest rose
with a deep breath, then his gaze dropped to my mouth, and his expression
tightened. He looked . . . he looked hungry. “I have lots of ideas.”
