Break My Fall by J.H. Croix

Book 3 in the Swoon Series follows Dawson and Evie, who both work at Stolen Heart Rescue and Lodge. Evie is a waitress while Dawson is a first responder. 

There’s not a lot for me to say that won’t give the whole book away. It’s a friends to lovers through good times and bad. Both characters have suffered loss and have battled depression in their life and in this story, although brief, it gives you insight on what happened.

Taking Evie to meet his mom and brother gave a little more backstory as to what happened in Dawson past that has made him the man he is today. It does take some time for Dawson to fight his demons and finally see that he is in love with Evie It doesn’t help that his mom compared him to his dad a little bit and once you know the story you will understand Dawson’s standpoint on that. 

Although part of a series, each book can be read as a standalone. The characters are all intertwined so you will get a glimpse of them and if you haven’t read the previous story’s it might give some spoilers away. It’s definitely one of those stories that once you pick it up you will lose track of time and the next thing you know you are finished with the book and you stayed up past your bedtime. 

I received this as an ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

One Last Time by: Khardine Grey

Being the daughter of a wealthy businessman would make you think that she has her foot in the door and will automatically get the position. But in this story, that is not the case at all. Taylor, who has fought her way to the top all of her life is now under the watch of Dylan who has come in to repurpose her PR. 

Dylan works for his dad’s company and is on his last chance trying to prove himself, so when he comes in to help Taylor, he ends up taking over and changing all of the plans she has set up with all of her events trying to find ways to save the company money, which in turn has Taylor’s dad loving him and being harder on her.  Taylor and Dylan do not get along for this very reason, but the more they work together, the more they get to know each other and one thing leads to another. 

They agree to keep their secret arrangement until the end of his time with the company, but as time goes and feelings start coming to light, they both feel like they are wanting more from each other but both are too afraid to say anything. And then they get caught. According to her, her dad has always been tough on her versus her many sisters. Being the second eldest, she watches as her dad gives his love and attention to her siblings. When the time comes and they sit down for a heart to heart, dear old dad explains why he has always treated her the way he has, make sure you have tissues ready for this one.
