Zack Hayes was taught that hard work pays off. He lives by that adage, working a part-time job, playing football and taking a full load of courses in the hope that his parents can stop working themselves to the bone. However, when things start to go wrong, Zack begins to believe that when you come from nothing, working hard doesn’t get you anywhere. Emma Wilson has spent her whole life hiding in … whole life hiding in the shadows because she isn’t who her parents wanted her to be—who her father wanted her to be.
She loses herself in her studies and in the piles of romance books she devours. It isn’t until her roommate begins dating a football player that the worlds she’s worked so hard to separate inevitably collide.

But the more he is with his tutor the more he likes her and that is so not his style!!
I loved the back and forth playfulness between these two characters and it is by far my favorite in this series!! I’m looking forward to reading more of it and by Gianna Gabriela
Emma and Zach’s story melted my heart. Their insecurities, their issues with their families, their determination and strength and even their light banter was enjoyable to read. After reading my normal dark romance, this novel was like a breathe of fresh air.
Wow! What an incredible story! This series is such a breath of fresh air. Zack and Emma meet one night at a party, but when they meet up again, Zack doesn’t remember her. Emma isn’t surprised, she is the type of girl who keeps to herself and loves to read. She’s not into football because of her Father, but doesn’t let anyone know who he is. Zack needs to pass a class, and lo and behold, who is his tutor, Emma?! He knows there is more to her, and she seems familiar, but not sure how he knows her. Can two totally opposite people become friends or even more? Can Zack bring Emma out of her shell? You will have to read this truly enjoyable story to find out. I loved these characters and this series, and you will too!
Falling For You by Gianna Gabriela is the third book in the Bragan University Series and I can’t even begin to express to you all how much I freaking loved and adored this story! Zack Hayes and Emma Wilson’s story managed to instantly consume my every thought and emotion. Seriously I found myself devouring it in one sitting because it was nearly impossible to put it down! There was just so much to love about this classic jock and nerd college romance with a twist.
This story is a MUST read and I totally recommend one-clicking this awesome story RIGHT NOW!
Once again jumping into Bragan University was as easy as passing kindergarten. With an already likable cast we now get to dive furthur into our favorite teams players once again along with daughter of a very prominent figure in those players lives.
Zack Hayes is not only an adorable athelete that stands apart from the crowd with his vibrant red hair, he is genuine in his actions, self sufficent and just beyond full of cuteness in general. His personailty which offers a pleasent contrast to our heroine Emma Wilson bookish ways.
Created with romance lovers in mind as the stories in which Emma so frequently reads, start to become the reality she never saw coming.
This is an almost instalove story that didnt happen due to one too many drinks and one too many sterotypical nerds vs Jocks.
If you love opposite attract and contemporary romance with a splash of sports then this is a book you will not want to miss.
Every time I read a book by Gianna Gabriela it gets better and Falling For You was definitely no exception!
Gianna writes books that a heartfelt believeable and oh so sweet that I never want it to end ….
Another major hit that I know I’ll have a book hangover for a while lol…
there is always a hot alpha male and I know that’s never a bad thing lol and a sweet girl that always feels not good enough for whatever reason but Gianna loves to prove opposites do attract…
I personally have loved each and every book she has released so far and Falling for you is absolutely awesome do yourself a favour and read it!
Gianna as done it again a truly wonderful story I love how she captures the characters and makes you fall in love with them two people forced together from two completely different backgrounds yet they find love and I loved it even found my self crying at one point. If i could give this book more then 5 stars I definitely wouldn’t
FALLING FOR YOU is the third book in the “Bragan University Series” and can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. There are characters that are referenced from previous books, but I think they are described enough that you won’t feel lost (I say “I think” because I’ve read them so am not a biased character lover”)
Emma is an interesting character study. On the one hand, I identified with her so completely that it was as if portions of the story were written about me and other times I just kind of wanted to shake her. Her family dynamic is something that totally pissed me off and if she were my friend I would tell her… Well you have to read the book to even understand what I mean.
Zach and Emma each have issues they hide from others and watching their stories unfold was great. The balance between Zach’s family and Emma’s family was written perfectly. I have very much enjoyed this series and this book certainly didn’t disappoint.
I would classify this as a sweet YA/NA romance and would absolutely recommend it to my younger nieces.
What a amazing story about life and love. The story flowed well so organically. It definitely wasn’t the typical college, football athlete falling for cheerleader romance story. Emma was always the quiet bookworm type. She wasn’t popular and didn’t go to frat parties. Zack wasn’t the typical football player either. He played football, trained hard and worked full time. Their meeting wasn’t planned. They had nothing in common, yet they were exactly what the other needed without realizing it. I loved this story!!
Emma & Zack were such easy characters to like.The red dress scene was my favorite part of the book. This story deals with everyday struggles that people face.Well worth the read.
This is the third book in the Bragan University series. GG you have done it again. From the opening pages to the very last paragraph I was hooked. This is my favourite book in this series.
Zack and Emma meet one night at a party, but when they meet up again, Zack doesn’t remember her. Emma isn’t surprised, she is the type of girl who keeps to herself and loves to read.
Zack is a football player. He works hard for what he has accomplished. Things are not easy for him. Between football, classes, work and studying, Zack cannot fit anything more in his schedule. But when he fails his biology final his coach finds him a tutor to help him pass.
Emma is smart, shy and beautiful. During her free time she normally has her nose in a book in her dorm room until she receives and email from her father demanding a meeting with her. Now she is forced to tutor one of his football players over Christmas break and she isn’t happy.
I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review.
Falling for you drew me in. In the other books of the series you’ve “met” Emma and Zack, but were left to the mystery of what drove them.
Emma’s roommate Zoe convinced her to go to some football games and then some other friends got her to go to parties where drinking is almost a requirement. One of these parties is where Zack and Emma run into each other, but Zack doesn’t remember. Because Zack failed Biology his football coach made him get tutoring to be able to retake the final exam. Emma was dragged in to be his tutor. Between their personal problems with their own families and their preconceived notions about each other they struggled getting past their original ideas about each other and fought falling in love. I kept expecting a conflict with every page, but when it did show up, it wasn’t what I thought it would be. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
I loved this book. Zack and Emma are my two favorite characters from this series. Zack is the star football player who is trying to work hard on the field and off the field to help his parents. Emma is the star student who tutors Zack pass his biology exam at the request of the football coach who happens to also be her father. After getting to know each other the two fall in love and their story is amazing.
A great book. Then again no matter what Gianna has written so far has been absolutely brilliant! Must read!
Falling For You is book three in the Bragan University Series, but it can be read as a standalone. In Falling For You, we get Zack and Emma’s story. I loved every word of it!!
Zack and Emma are polar opposites, but you know what they say about opposites. They attract or do they? I loved the banter between the two, it kept me entertained. Zack is one of the stars of the football team, but he is so much more. Emma is the coach’s daughter and keeps her attention on school. Who knew fate would bring the two together? I LOVED Falling For you and I definitely recommend.
Falling for you is the 3rd book in the Bragan University series. Zack and Emma’s story may have been my favorite one yet. The author does an amazing job pulling you into the story and making you fall for the characters. I cant wait to read the next book.
Zac failed a class and he needs to pass to keep playing football, so his coach organises a tutor for him to ensure that he passes the class.
Emma’s father never shows an interest in her, he wished she was a boy, so she’s surprised to be called to his office and told she’s going to coach one of his players and not giving her a choice.
Seeing Zac, Emma knows he doesn’t remember calling her beautiful that night, but she has to keep reminding herself he’s not like her books no matter how she feels when he looks at her.
Zac knows there’s something about Emma, but he doesn’t know what he can’t seem to put his finger on it like he’s met her before. Realising that he doesn’t want to party with the footballers but wants to spend time with Emma he invites himself to take out with her, she makes him want thing he hasn’t wanted in a long time.
The more Emma gets to know Zac she realises that he may not be like all footballers, but can she let her guard down and get the happily ever after she only reads about. What happens when Zac finds out that Emma is the coach’s daughter and the girl in the red dress, he hasn’t been able to forget, will that change anything, can he still have something he thinks he shouldn’t have.
I received an advanced copy of this book and am choosing to review it. Collage romance, sports romance and nerdy girl. Sweat and great chemistry between the hero and heroine. Really good pace and development on the story. It’s so refreshing in comparison with other young adults romance which usually concentrate in the sexual tension. While this book it concentrate in the relationship between H and h and their family and friends.
PS: if you’re looking for something steamy this is your not your read. But excellent for young readers.
