Lucas & Maxi

I really liked this storyline. Loved Lucas & Maxi together! The sexy times were molten hot!!!! So happy that they ended up together like they always should have been. Things were a little rocky at times but it all worked out.
Another great book in this series!

Second Chance

A story to cry about and a chance to fall in love again. Their lives took a bit of a side road but they did find each other. I am loving these men, strong with a soft side. The narrator was very good.

Going down for this series

I truly enjoyed this book and the series. Sophie Eastlake did an excellent as well.

This was a great book!

l loved it. Even had my fiance listening with me. And he liked it too

Great series and characters!

Great series and characters. I have already downloaded the 3rd & 4th book. Can't wait to hear Derek's story.

Quick and easy listen

Maxie is moving on from the death of her emotionally abusive and neglectful husband. Who just happens to be the brother of her best friend and love of her live. Lucas is helping Maxie to start life over after he finds out that his brother left her destitute and dishonored because of his shady dealings.

I really felt for Maxie and Lucas because they had obvious carried strong feelings for each other for quite some time. But Lucas's brother was incredibly selfish; he never cared about Maxie but only used her to hurt Lucas. They were forced to keep distant from one and other because of him.

This was my first from Carly Phillips without Erika Wilde. Won't be my last. Very easy to follow and not too dragged about. I like Sophie Eastlake performance. It's very direct.

Standalone or Part of a Series

Great standalone but also part of a series book. You don't need to listen to the series to understand though. Another great storyline with twists and unexpected moments

4 Stars!

This book had my heart racing from the passion, suspense and feels! Heartbreaking, heartwarming and intriguing. A great story!

Loved It!!

If you could sum up Going Down Fast in three words, what would they be?

This is my first book by Carly Phillips and I can truly say I loved it. I'm also pretty new to audio books but this one I finished in one sitting the story line and Sophie Eastlake's narration just hooked me immediately.

Lucas and Maxie were childhood best friends. When Lucas leaves for college he returns to find Maxie married but that doesn't stop the love they feel for each other and years later when Maxie really needs someone he's the one person she turns too. Will they be able to overcome the hurt from their pasts and will it finally enable them be together?

Definitely a book I will be recommending and I'll also be going back and reading Going Down Easy (Billionaire Bad Boys 1)

Loved It

5 star review Going Down Fast (Billionaire Bad Boys #2) by Carly Phillips
Carly Phillips is a new author to me and be assured I will be checking out her other books. What’s a woman to do when her world comes crashing down around her? That’s the situation Maxie Sullivan faces when tragedy strikes, who can she turn too? Instinctively she knows it can only be one man, the man she has always secretly been in love with, Lucas Monroe.
Lucas has always been in love with Maxi, but due to interference, she is the one woman he cannot have, the one woman who is off limits. When circumstances change and Maxie’s life is thrown into turmoil, she has no choice but to ask Lucas for help.
Will Maxie and Lucas be able to overcome their past, can they trust enough in their love to make a life together, r will th past come back to haunt and destroy them? Lucas will do whatever it takes to keep Maxie safe and I will admit I ally fell for him.
I have to say I listened to this book on audible and thoroughly loved it. The story was well written and certainly an emotional roller-coaster, which touched on several issues that have affected me personally.
I admire the way Ms. Phillips is not afraid to include the realities of life. In Going Down Fast she tackles the issue of bullying both in school and college and the repercussions that can and sadly often does occur with great compassion.
Cannot wait for book number three in the series. I have no idea why it has taken me so long to Carly Phillips, but I am now going to bump her other books up my extremely long list of TBR’s.
