Steamy sex, romance, and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat. ~ Shey, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
If you believe your life is the sum total of your choices, what do you do when things just don’t add up? You are about to find out. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be dull. And surely, it won’t be safe. In fact, making just one wrong choice could put evil at your bedside watching you sleep.
And so it is with Kate Simmons, a young woman who, by choosing to regain her life, actually puts it at risk by the very choices she makes. After unimaginable heartbreak stops her world on a dime, Kate falls into a three-year blackness of self blame that brings her to the edge of life, itself. As time finally brings light back through tiny cracks of renewed desire, Kate moves out of the prison she made for herself in her mother’s home to find a new reality, rooming with her best girlfriend, Charlie.
Yet, to be free is to be vulnerable, and Kate’s choices more than ever mark a splattered line between being happy and being dead.
Care to choose? Here’s your menu:
A strangely alluring building manager so possessed with wanting you for his own, he’ll bury more than the fact he has a girlfriend; a buff college student for whom you are clearly hot, as are all the other girls on campus; a pushy lawyer who is as handsome as he is intoxicated with conquest, who doesn’t take no for an answer, who gets what he wants — always.
Sometimes, it’s whom you choose. Sometimes, it’s who chooses you. If you’re Kate, it’s both, and it puts you on a perilous road where good looks and humor are the thin masks of jealous delusion and utter violence.
You’re in trouble when the sum total of your choices is written in blood red.
Review copy provided for an honest review.
New indie author Carlie Sexton shows her skills in her debut novel Fallen For You the first book in her The Killer Next Door series. I love a good spicy romance with a little suspense but let me tell you Ms. Sexton puts that and more in to this book.
Kate has had a difficult several years and as she tries to put her life back together her and her best friend Charlie move into the perfect apartment. Little do they know perfect comes with a price. The minute you meet landlord Roger you feel the creep factor and you are not disappointed through the book as the meter only rises.
At 24, Kate starts her junior year of college she is overwhelmed when she noticed the good looking guy that seems to be in all of her classes beginning to feel things her body hasn’t felt in years for a man. She is excited and scared by these feelings. Mark has watched and listen to Kate in class she is beautiful, sexy and smart and he wants her. When Kate goes to meet her SDSU mentor Neil Statton and he doesn’t show she’s put out, when he calls her at work and ask her to dinner she tells him No. Neil Statton is used to getting what he wants and even though he tried to explain to Kate why he didn’t show up she wouldn’t listen to him one thing about Neil he loves a challenge. Kate can’t believe it when Neil shows up at her work. Just meeting him for the first time and her body reacts to him but she isn’t about to give in to the charming, sexy, arrogant attorney too quickly. Kate doesn’t know what to do going from nothing to having two men capturing her attention.
Oh, but we can’t leave out Roger, he wants Kate in the worst way and will stop at nothing to have her and will let no one get in his way. As Roger does all he can to get Kate’s attention her attention is elsewhere and well Roger can’t have that.
As Neil and Kate get close and as Roger closes in bodies start to disappear. Kate knows the life she was struggling to put back together just took a dramatic turn. Not only her life but those of her around her as well.
This is a three book series and thank goodness that the next book won’t be long in coming out because I can tell you although the end doesn’t leave you hanging off the cliff if definitely leaves you looking over that edge wanting the next one.
I believe Ms. Sexton has done well for her first time she has what’s needed steamy sex, romance, relatable characters that are trying hard to overcome some difficult times and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
