Synopsis: Two men. Both brothers. One life-changing decision.
I made my choice. One perfect weekend assured me I was right. One set of pictures proved me wrong.
Graduating college was supposed to be a happy time. Instead, I lost my best friend and suffered the worst kind of betrayal. Now, my whole life is in flux. I need my best friend. I need answers. There’s only one way to fix this. It’s time for a change. It’s time to take back control of my life, and the only way to do it is to face my problems head-on.
Even if it means walking into the lion’s den to do it.
*AUTHOR'S NOTE* Fall for Him is the third and final book in the Forbidden Trilogy. Dance for Me (#1) and Lie to You (#2) must be read first.
EXCERPT
At five, I shut down the computer for the
night and straighten up my workspace. Frank, who’s putting the finishing
touches on his project, assures me that he’ll lock up when he leaves. Bidding
him a good night, I make my way to reception and meet up with Darren, who
stands up when he sees me and begins leading the way back to the elevators.
“So how was your first day?” he inquires as we
wait for the descending car to arrive.
“Better than I expected,” I admit. I’d already
shared with him at lunch that I was leery over working here for fear of running
into someone I knew and wanted to avoid until I have a chance to settle in.
“It’s my first time applying my degree to the real world. To be honest, I was
pretty convinced I’d blow something up on my first day, but it all went as
smoothly as I’d hoped. Of course, having you here was a big factor.”
“Oh, girl.” Darren waves his hand through the
air, as though disbelieving the compliment. “I’ll tell you what my parents
always told me: Never sell yourself short. You have a lot to offer this
company.”
“I got the job because of my connections,” I
remind him.
Casting me a you’re-an-idiot look, Darren says, “You may have
had the right connections, but if you think Mr. Donnelly would hire a
skill-less nobody and risk damaging his solid gold reputation, then you’re
crazier than I pegged you to be.”
“You think I’m crazy?” I ask, frowning as the little bell on the
elevator pings, and the doors begin moving aside.
“Anyone bold enough to wear white after Labor Day…” he singsongs as he boards the car.
I’m shaking my head, smiling ear-to-ear as I follow him inside.
If anyone here is a kook, it’s him, but I already love him for it.
“One please,” Darren says as he steps back and leans against the
mirrored wall.
Just realizing that we’re not alone, I glance up to see who he’s
talking to...and freeze. Oh, God. I spoke too soon. My stomach drops to my feet
as I look up into a familiar set of fathomless black eyes that burn with equal
amounts of interest and anger.
The tailored charcoal gray suit and pale pink button-down shirt
do nothing to dispel the air of danger surrounding Rebel. With his jacket open
at the waist, the material forced back by hands that are shoved deep into his
pants pockets and his unapologetic stare fully focused on me, the power that
emanates from him is unmistakable.
I’m rethinking everything—the call to Donnelly, the job, and
most especially leaving Virginia. I could definitely do with a little more time
away.
I suddenly become aware that we are standing here in dead
silence, staring each other down, and Darren is a witness to it all. Standing
off to the side, he’s watched the whole exchange, and when I look over at him,
he lifts a knowing brow.
Great. The secret is out of the bag.
“Miss Hart.” The thunder of Rebel’s voice breaks the prolonged
silence like shattering glass and travels straight through me until it is
nothing more than a deep throb in the center of my body. Startled, I meet his
intense gaze and swallow past the growing lump in my throat.

Review:
This is the 3rd and final part to the series and I was seriously excited to read this final installment.
Joe so needs to sort her life out, there's Brody the friend who wants more, Annie the best friend who isn't speaking to her and has moved away, then of course the twin brothers Rebel and Ransom .... which she has unwittingly slept with both of them! Joe's first steps are to patch things up with Annie then deal with the rest, can she make a choice and will it be the right one ?
Whilst I do feel this one lost the dangerous twin brother and stripper edge, this one definitely had more mystery, suspense and drama to it, which direction will Joe take? Whoa the heated chemistry can be felt throughout - even at her desk!
I have really loved this series and I'm now feeling kinda sad that it's now come to an end. This final book is the perfect conclusion to the series and I will now be looking out for more books from JC Valentine.
