The Fall

By: Kate Sherwood

Narrated by: Max Lehnen

Every relationship leaves something behind. Dumped by his sugar daddy, part-time model Scott Mackenzie somehow ends up owning an abandoned church in rural Ontario. He dreams of using it for gay weddings, even if he'll never have one of his own.

Joe Sutton is trying to keep his family together after his parents' deaths. Between the family ranch, his brother's construction company, and commitments around town, he doesn't have time for a relationship. But Mackenzie is hard to ignore.

As both men fight their growing attraction, challenges to Mackenzie's business threaten their relationship. If he can't make it work, he'll have to crawl back to the city in defeat. But the only solution involves risking the ranch Joe loves, and each man has to decide how much he'll sacrifice for the other.

Tender Tale of Finding Your Path

I adored Kate Sherwood's Dark Horse series and jumped at the chance to listen to one of her audio books. True to her writing style, the story had smooth pacing with an almost-painfully slow and gradual build-up. With some quirky characters thrown in and a few one-liners, The Fall is a tender tale of two men finding their true paths and discovering those paths can intertwine. I hope we have more stories about them and their family.

The narrator gave a solid performance, bringing a gentle voice to this beautiful love story.

Better then the first in the series!

If you could sum up The Fall in three words, what would they be?

Funny, real, sexy.

What did you like best about this story?

Spoiler alert:....I like that the macho brother was actually gay!

What about Max Lehnen’s performance did you like?

The sound of his voice is quite engaging.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Not all is as appears!

Any additional comments?

It might be a good idea to buy the first book too...'The Isle of Where?...'

Great Story, Smokin' Romance

I TOTALLY enjoyed this one!

Some familiar tropes, but done with Kate Sherwood's original twists it all seems new again. Plus a cowboy who is also a volunteer firefighter (fans self), yes please. Seriously, Joe is smooooking hot, and watching him slowly open up to Mackenzie is wonderful. Into his bed, into his tight-knit family, and finally into his heart...

I'm looking forward to reading Riding Tall to find out what happens next to Joe and Mackenzie.

Silly

What a silly book. The narration will murder a book and boy this one is gone! So boring, plus the silly concept...why did I even attempt this.

This narrator was terrible!

What disappointed you about The Fall?

It was hard to listen to the story with this narrator. He sounded like an elderly man, had little differentiation between the character's voices, and made Joe's accent sound like a parody. The rise and fall of his voice sounded like he was reading a children's book. It was very hard to concentrate on the story.

Would you be willing to try another book from Kate Sherwood? Why or why not?

Yes, I like her Dark Horse series.

Would you be willing to try another one of Max Lehnen’s performances?

NO!!!!!
