About this ebook
“Your heart will pound, you’ll laugh, you’ll feel, and you’ll definitely swoon,” raves Katy Evans. In this captivating novel in Marquita Valentine’s Take the Fall series, a small-town sweetheart takes a chance on the bad boy who’s always been her hottest fantasy.
The last time Piper Ross saw her best friend’s sexy older brother, Jase Simmons, he was being taken away in handcuffs. Seven years later, two things haven’t changed: Piper is still head-over-heels in love with him . . . and Forrestville’s chief of police—Piper’s dad—still hates his guts. So when Piper sees a chance to get close to Jase, she makes her move—literally. As his new roommate, and as the office manager of his tattoo shop, Piper won’t be satisfied until Jase knows that she wants to be his.
The quintessential good girl, Piper is pure temptation for Jase. The only reason he’s always kept his distance is because she’s the last person he’d ever want to hurt. But once he realizes that Piper is ready to take the leap, everything just makes sense. Suddenly Jase feels like a new man—until nasty rumors start swirling and Piper’s heartless father stirs up even more trouble. Now Jase must convince Piper that she wasn’t wrong about him . . . because falling in love never felt so right.

I really enjoyed Piper and Jase's story. Jase was a little gruff and abrasive at first but once we really got to know him it's hard not to fall in love with him. Piper's tenacity and sass were a delight and Jase never stood a chance! Unfortunately Piper's father thinks he knows best and the trouble he causes Jase could ruin them. This is a great friends to lovers story that I highly recommend to everyone.

When We Fall is book two in Marquita Valentine's Take the Fall series. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Jase and Piper's story is one of self torture and unrequited love. Piper has a sweet nature and a pure heart. When she loves, she does so deeply and is not swayed by bias or the good intentions of others. Jase is a troubled young man. A product of his surroundings he let his hot temper lead him down a dead end road. Presented with a new lease on life, he wants to make the people he cares about proud and prove there is more then his past. Piper was a character that had more strength than she was given credit for. She believed in Jase and would not turn her back on him despite his past. With the Take the Fall series Ms. Valentine shows that everyone deserves a second chance. No one is perfect, so who are we to judge. Only GOD has that right. Something we all should remember.
