Somehow, at the ripe age of twenty-three, I find myself in line to marry a man I don’t love. I grind my teeth right there at the dinner table as my mother and father go on and on about how proud they are of me. How proud they are that I, Fallon Addington, will no longer be the black sheep of the family and become the daughter they’ve always wanted. Marry Derek and they’ll finally accept me. Marry … finally accept me.
Marry Derek and they’ll stop shoving men from their social circle in my direction.
Marry Derek and become the spitting image of my mother—the perfect corporate wife with a face full of make-up and not a hair out of line.
Marry Derek and all the shame and guilt will disappear.
But then… I embarrassingly flash Emmett Lanning my bra, and suddenly my parents’ hopes and dreams are burning up in flames, right there along with my heart.

“But I don’t care if I get hurt, and I don’t care—for once in my life—that I’m being totally selfish right now. I’m being selfish with you, and I just don’t care, because there’s just something about you that pulls me in, Emmett. You make me feel alive. You make me feel like me. Calling you a friend is just a way to keep you at bay, but it’s the complete opposite of what I’m feeling.”
WOAH! It’s passages like this that reel me in and keep me hooked. I loved this story so much.
It was a little different compared to the books I have recently read, but in a great way. Emmett and Fallon really do have to fight for their happiness and it had ALL THE FEELS.
“The heart didn’t care about the minutes passing on a clock. The heart didn’t care how many days the sun had set. The heart just didn’t care.”
My heart is full after reading this and I am grateful for finding a new author, S. J. Sylvis, to add to my list of favourites.

This book was beyond amazing. It had me laughing and swooning the entire time. I loved Emmett, he was genuine, loving and had such a beautiful soul. I truly hurt for Fallon and everything she had to go through with her family. This story was deep, it showed personal growth, friendship and passion. There were so many memorable scenes in this book but my top two favorite was the Taco scene and the dressing room scene.
GIRL I AM CALLING DIBS! EMMETT IS MINE AND I WILL NOT SHARE HIM!
At that point, I wasn’t even gasping for air. I was gasping for her.
I am in love! This was so good and Emmett is my dream man. He will make you swoon and charm the pants off you with just one look and at the same time make you feel he would be just as happy with just talking to you all night and never getting some action because you are what is important.
He was so patient and understanding of Fallon’s situations where I think many would have been angry and frustrated early on. He just made her feel like she was perfect just the way she was and she should always just follow her heart.
My heart goes out to Fallen all the way through this book. My heart hurt sometimes with how much pain she was in and how trapped she felt. But I loved how you could just slowly see her bloom throughout the book and my chest slowly started getting filled with hope and joy the more I read.
Emmett’s mouth left my breast, and he pulled back to stare down at me. “I wanted this to go slow, but I just can’t wait anymore, Fallon.” I nodded my head feverishly, my eyes wide. I spread my legs out far, indicating that I wanted him just as badly as he wanted me. This was the best sex I’d ever had, and we weren’t even doing it yet.
I loved the first book in this series but I promise you this book is even better! It just got me hooked from the start and I couldn’t stop wanting to know more. They were both a little mysterious at the beginning of this book and that got me curious about what they were hiding what would I discover? You also got to see a little of all the people from book one and I love that I got to get glimpses of all of there lives too throughout this book.
So are you looking for a book that will take your soul hostage and will maybe squeeze you a little just so you know it got you all the way through the book. A book that will make you laugh, feel hope, joy, hopelessness, pain, love, and friendship this is your book.
