Falling into You

A Falling Stars Standalone Romance

De: A.L. Jackson

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Zachary Webber

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes an enemies-to-lovers second-chance romance…

Richard Ramsey is the guitarist for the world’s hottest new band.

Gifted. Charismatic. Hot as sin.
Lend your ear, and he’ll steal your heart.
Nah, you can’t have his considering he left it in his hometown years ago.

He knows better than going back. But it’s his younger sister’s wedding, and there’s no way he can say no to that.

He should have known she would be there, invading his senses and making him thirst and hunger for what he wants most.

Violet Marin hates him for what he’s done.
He left her emptyhanded with their wreckage strewn all around.
A single-parent, she’s raising a little girl alone, and she’s picked up the pieces and is living her life the best way that she can.

But their connection is fierce.
Their attraction unending.
It only takes one glance for their worlds to collide.
One touch to set them on fire.

But she doesn’t know the dark secrets he keeps.
If he had understood the true price of fame, he would have known he’d sold his soul and this debt is something he cannot repay.

Letting her go is impossible, but will loving her cost it all?

A sensuous, captivating contemporary stand-alone romance in the Falling Stars series.

*CWs for this title are available on my website.

Wow

Another great story. I love that Emily and Royce were included to continue their story. It’s crazy how all the stories are inner twined with other series. Love!!!

WAY Better Than The Other 2 Of The Series! 😊

As I said in the title, I liked this story WAY more than the other 2 in the series! 😊 I always like second-chance love stories 💞, and the twist in this one really WAS a twist in the end! The thing I was expecting to BE the twist wasn’t the twist, after all (I’m not gonna tell you what it is b/c I don’t wanna spoil it for you 😉)!! And finally!! A child doesn’t listen in this author’s book!! 😁 (She climbs a tree & gets hurt; don’t worry, though, she just breaks her wrist & has to wear a cast for a while. Nothing too bad or serious. (And I don’t consider this too much of a spoiler; this incident doesn’t have too much to do with the main plot.)) The other thing I like is that Saul isn’t part of the twist at the end, either. He’s just a guy who was interested in the FMC & got a little jealous, but nothing really happened with him at the end. I really thought he was gonna turn out to be the bad guy in the end, but, nope, he just a guy who works with her dad & is interested in her; that’s it. The one thing that kinda DID annoy me (& the main reason why I only gave it 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, not 5) is that the author CLEARLY doesn’t know Spanish!! Let me explain: it’s not the fact that she doesn’t know Spanish that annoys me, clearly. It’s that she clearly hasn’t done her research on the Spanish language! For example, she has some phrases in Spanish scattered throughout the book, but it seemed like she just copied and pasted from Google Translate, translating LITERALLY from English. If you gonna have Spanish sayings and phrases, you SHOULDN’T just translate DIRECTLY from English!! You should find a Spanish-speaker to translate the words for you! Also, with the Spanish names, you should SPELL them the Spanish way of spelling them. For example, the last name of the FMC SHOULD be Marín, with an accent mark on the “Í”. And, also, why doesn’t the author use “MamÁ, Papá, Abuelo, & Abuela” for family members, the Spanish names for them?! (Sorry for my little rant, but it drives me CRAZY when authors DON’T do this research before writing about other cultures! 😒) And another thing is what’s with all the “R” names in this series?? Seriously, there’s a “Royce”, “Richard”, & “Rhys” . . . Thank God “Emily” (the FMC from Book 1) doesn’t start with an “R”, too!! 😅 Also, with all the “K” names, too!! “Karl”, “Kade” . . . It’s got confusing kinda after a while . . . ! 🥹 But all that being said, I AM still looking forward to starting the last book in the series tomorrow, Rhys & Maggie’s story! BUT also, with theirs being the last book in the series, I’m left wondering where’s “Mels-Bels’” love story?? I’d LOVE to see her get her HEA, too!! (If you know, you know! 😅)

Great Story!

I loved this story, it had me laughing one minute and crying the next. You will love all the characters especially Daisy, she is the best little girl. I love author A.L. Jackson, she has a way of telling a story to keep you on the edge of your seat and have you hanging on until the end. Because you will have to find out how the story ends and you will love this stories ending.
I love the narrators of this story too, Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber are great.

Oh what a web we weave

This story was nothing like I thought it would be; it was so much more. Self sacrifice, deception, manipulation, devotion, and all the amor, amor, amor. Eager to see how the saga continues with Ryhs.

I love how this series interconnects with the plot of the bleeding stars series. Glad I read those first. While it isn’t absolutely necessary to read in order, I believe the storyline ties together having the details of those characters even if they are villains.

Rollercoaster of emotion

This author always weaves intricate stories of love, loss and longing giving the reader each piece of the story slowly, drawing you deeper and deeper until the full picture is revealed. Always tragic but ultimately redemptive, A.L. Jackson's stories are steeped in all the emotions. This one was probably the most soul-wrenching I've listened to yet. All the innocent missteps and proverbial trap doors into fame that a young, naive Richard fell through landed him in a depraved world, witness to the most vile cruelty that humans are capable of and unable to free himself. Yet he couldn't keep from doing anything possible to help the victimized, even when it would appear otherwise to the woman who was the other part of himself. Violet is completely unaware of the danger she's skirting by starting to search for her missing sister and drawing closer to Richard, her estranged husband of 6 years, unable to fight the pull of their unresolved love.

Andi and Zachary are such magic with their narration of these characters - and any character, honestly - they couldn't have been voiced by any other narrators.

My only negative on A.L. Jackson's style would be all the energy lashing, crashing, washing, sizzling, etc. descriptors that she uses. I feel like it is almost overdone when every scene between her hero's and heroine's come with these descriptions. I think that every once in a while she could try describing the connection between her characters a little differently or simply trust that the reader will know they're there after the first few mentions of them. It's also a little strange for the flashback chapters to be in third-person POV when the majority of the story is in first-person. I would think it might be to give the reader/listener some separation from the direct feelings of the characters, but she gives us those in the third-party portions, too, so I'm not sure why she switches POV's. These are only minor detriments to her work, and wouldn't deter me from listening to them, only that I'm noticing the themes more having listened to several of her books.

I can't wait to hear Reese's story and wonder if he'll end up with Mel and what demons he's covering with his devil-may-care attitude.
