I enjoyed this sweet emotional read a lot. This grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept it until the end. I loved the plot and pace. I choked up at times while reading this book. I loved Cassy and felt she added to this book. I also loved Alex and Cassy relationship. I loved Alex and Hayden’s relationship and how they interacted. I felt bad for both Alex and Hayden and their pasts. I wish I could rate this a 4.5. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend it.
'Falling for the Enemy' by C.M. Steele is book the "Falling" series. This is the story of John Moriarty and Layla Hendricks. I have not yet read the previous book, so for me this was a standalone book.
This is my first book by Ms. Steele and I am so happy I found her. I just loved this book. Yes, it does have 'Instant Love' and somewhat Alpha Male...which are books I love! Also this is a easy fast read that I had to finish in one sitting!
