It started on a ridge in Afghanistan. Our love story. You know, the kind you felt in your soul at first sight, but… the tragic circumstances and all. Intentionally casual conversation over Irish whiskey. Intentionally casual sex over the course of two weeks. How could I refuse?
Guilt-ridden bonds would be built, and I’d confess my darkest sin. Beg for forgiveness five years overdue and clean my conscience along with it.
It started with the cold hard truth. Our hate story. You know, the kind that could end a surprisingly beautiful beginning.

Down to Fall by Jodi Watters is book 5 in the Love Happens Series. This is the story of Grady and Nicole. I haven’t yet read the previous books so for me this was a standalone book. Nicole is a widower who lost her husband in the military. It has left her with a guarded heart which leads her to avoid committed relationships but open to quick encounters. I did fee a slight disconnect with Nicole but is hard to judge how someone acts after a lost. Grady has some secrets that he didn’t want to reveal to soon. But Grady and Nicole hot encounters start to mean more but can they work with with their broken hearts to be what they both need to be whole? This story did keep me turning pages for sure.
