Book Review: When We Fall

 


I need a nanny. Not a distraction.

I certainly do not need a twentysomething man with a devastating smile, tattooed forearms, and an easy charm that could unravel a woman twice as composed as me.

But when my daughter gets kicked out of after-school care (again) and my flaky nanny ghosts us (again), Austin Calloway moves into the duplex next door—and right into our lives.

Now he’s helping with homework, cooking dinner shirtless, and showing up with coffee like he’s always belonged here.

He’s too young.

Too familiar.

Too good with my daughter.

Too close.

And the worst part? He sees through me—the cracks, the stress, the walls I’ve built to protect what’s mine.

The more I try to keep him out, the more I ache to let him in.

But letting someone in means risking everything.

He’s the wrong choice . . . unless we’re finally ready to see what happens when we fall.


My Review

Selene is the best mother to her adorable daughter, Winnie. Winnie is like a twenty-year-old trapped in a little girl's body. She instantly reminds me of my niece. I love the close bond that Austin and Winnie formed with each other. 

I absolutely felt the chemistry between Selene and Austin. The only thing that separated them was a thin wall. Ooh, the angst. I kept patiently waiting for these two to kiss. It was so worth the wait. Austin is not too young for Selene as he is "just right" for her. 

While I can guarantee that you are going to love this book, you are not going to want to miss experiencing this story through the audiobook. It is narrated by Ava Lucas & Ryan Hunter. They both do amazing jobs of voicing Selene and Austin. I got "lost" listening to the audiobook in a great way.
