Fall for Him

A Novel

De: Andie Burke

Narrado por: Kyle Omori, Liam DiCosimo

In Fall for Him by Andie Burke, seven-hundred-fifty square feet isn’t enough for the home-renovation-fueled hatred and the building sexual tension.

Dylan Gallagher’s hot neighbor loathed him from the second he moved in, and causing a flood, falling through the floor, and landing directly onto that same neighbor’s bed probably means that’s unlikely to change. The poorly timed “It’s Raining Men” joke didn’t help.

Meanwhile, ER nurse Derek Chang’s life is a literal when-rains-it-pours nightmare. A man he hates dropped into his life along with an astronomically expensive problem originating from Derek’s own apartment’s plumbing. Also, the local HOA tyrant has been sniffing around trying to fine him for his extended, illicit banned breed dog-sitting.

Since Dylan also wants to keep the catastrophe quiet, he offers to fix the damage himself. Dylan’s sure he’s not Derek’s type, so he focuses all his ADHD hyper fixation energy on getting the repair job done as quickly as possible—avoiding doing anything stupid like acting on his very inconvenient crush. Meanwhile Derek tries to ignore that the tattooed nerd sleeping on the couch is surprisingly witty, smart, and kind, despite the long-term grudge Derek’s been holding against him. But will squeezing all their emotional baggage plus a dog into a tiny one-bedroom apartment be a major disaster…or just prove they’re made for each other?

Fall for Him combines banter, hijinks, and heart in a story of finding out what it means to fix things after your life crumbles.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With strong friendships, a full cast of delightful characters, and a story told from alternating points of view, this enemies-to-lovers and forced-proximity romance from Burke (Fly with Me) explores serious issues such as neurodivergence, alcohol-use disorder, toxic family expectations, forgiveness, and grief, while still being a steamy, humorous, and hopeful read."—Library Journal (starred review)

"FALL FOR HIM is the kind of rom com that checks all of the boxes. Two characters with real, relatable issues? Check! So much tension and banter? Check! The perfect combination of laughs and spice? Double check! Andie Burke's sophomore novel is a true triumph, a book I haven't been able to stop thinking about. It's safe to say I fell for this book and readers will too!"—Falon Ballard, author of RIGHT ON CUE

"Fall For Him is enemies-to-lovers perfection all wrapped up with a beautiful forced proximity bow.

Andie's banter is god tier, her voice is a breath of fresh air, and I am a forever fan."—Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny

Such a cute story

Loved the low stakes romance of it all. Enemies to lovers was so well done. The ADHD representation was well done too!

Cute & fun love story!

Dylan & Derricks story is cute and funny. I did laugh out loud a few times throughout this book. But all in all its just a super cute super sweet love story!

Meh. Overly written.

This book was a decent way to pass the time on the subway, but it ultimately left me underwhelmed. The writing leaned heavily on clichés, which became eye-roll inducing after a while. Even well into the story, the author continued using characters’ full names unnecessarily, which disrupted the flow.

The supporting cast blurred together, lacking distinct traits or meaningful contributions to the plot. Meanwhile, the main characters often reacted with exaggerated pettiness to situations that didn’t warrant it, creating drama that felt forced rather than authentic.

At times, the narrative was overly dramatic to the point of being distracting, and the pacing dragged. What could have been told in a lean, engaging dozen chapters was stretched out with filler, leaving the story feeling bloated and insubstantial.

Love the love, narrators changed voices

Midway through the book one of the narrators changed the voice inflections of Dylan and Derek and I had to keep going back to find out who was saying what. Carol was insufferable as a character. But the love story was great!

Love, grief and trying to be perfect

Really heartfelt story of romance of enemies to lovers but with the background of grief and responsibility in one family and navigating mental health in a large family. Really well done snd moving. Narrators are great.
