I felt like it was unnecessary to make a book from this story. There were already like 5 books and it really was fun to read but It was a little exaggerated and there was given information that you already knew.

this was really really hard to get through, you could say pointless really. i never give up on books, however this book came close. I gave it 2* for the Daniel/Luce story at the end but I still think I'm being generous! The only positive is the preview of Rapture which was really really good, definitely whet my appetite for the next book! Can't wait!!!

Did you know that I didn't need to read this book to understand the upcoming and last book in the "Fallen" series? Yeah, me neither.
This was a "complementary" story, that will help the reader understand Luce's and Daniel's love. What a joke. This book is about the only Valentine's Day they spent together, and every chapter is about a different couple of characters.
1. Shelby and Miles: It was nice reading this, even when I can't understand how just one night changed the way they felt about each other. Still, this was cute and fun, and tad bit cliché.
2. Roland and Rosaline: This was the best story of the whole book. Romantic to the bone. Amazing story about how we don't know what we have until it's gone, and when it comes to love, this is one of the most tragic scenarios. I loved it.
3. Arriane and Tess: This was the story that made me love Arriane. Her relationship was doomed. This was a bit heartbreaking. What should you do when you fall in love with someone who doesn't share your morals and beliefs? And in this story, the differences go beyond just values, its about good and evil, love and hate, sacrifice. What would you do to be with the one you love? Amazing, I loved this story.
4. Luce and Daniel: Of course this was the longest part but I can't complain. It was a nice story. It made me love Daniel. I like him now. It was romantic and tad sad too, but I liked it. It was enlightening but it was entertaining.
The thing with this book is that I enjoyed reading these love stories, they were nice. But I'm still at the same confused place, I haven't learned much from this and my questions are still unanswered. I don't quite understand the purpose of this book, sorry.
Now, I cannot wait to read "Rapture", the final installment in the Fallen Series. Will LK answer all my questions? I don't know, but I'm sure I won't like the answer.

Loved it! All four stories were really good, I loved learning the backstory of Roland and Arriane, that was a treat! And Shelby and Miles' story was super cute and of course Luce's and Daniel's story was awesome! It's great how it continued the story from Passion and that it ties into Rapture.

Dar viena perskaityta šios serijos knyga. Tačiau, va, bus man neskaityt anotacijų, o atsižvelgti į knygos viršelį. Užrašyta, kad ketvirta dalis, o pasirodo tai tiesiog papildoma knyga, kitų akimis apie vieną dieną viduramžiuose. Buvo smagu skaityti ir daug sužinoti apie kitus veikėjus, angelus, apie jų gyvenimus, meiles, tačiau noriu kuo greičiau kibti į normalų tęsinį.

Quick and easy to read, and that's it honestly. Now only one book left of my reread and then it is time to donate this series to someone who will probably like it far more than I do

Sweet tales of love. A collection of love stories that all end up being at the same period in time. I liked the stories, they were cute and gave a bit more depth to the side characters (Shelby, Miles, Roland, and Arriane).
For those whining how it's not a novel because it's short and does continue on the story, NEWS FLASH, it's a novella which are shorter than a novel and don't have to follow the current storyline.
I suspected something happening with Shelby and Miles during Torment and thought it was sweet how they expressed their feelings to each other. I liked Miles but when they made him out to like Luce I was like NO! So I was super glad he got over that crush. And Shelby deserves some happiness after all the losers she's dated. Thumbs up for their romance.
I liked reading about Roland's love, his might have been my favorite. I was kinda hoping he'd be able to patch things up but no, no chance of that. And then you know I was kinda rooting for a Roland/Arriane romance but that was a big fat no chance of that. Although they do have a kind of best friend love going on which I'm happy with. Arriane's was just a surprise for me, and then it was like this big love that's going to get squashed like a bug on a windshield, which you know it did. It was very sad.
Daniel and Luce's story was sweet as usual. Wish they would have found each other a little sooner and we'd gotten more reading time with them, but when they finally did get together it was you know, sweet (realized I've been using that word A LOT).
I do have a complaint. Why is Cam only in here a little bit?! Hmmm...My favorite character hasn't been bopping around, stirring things up as much as I'd like him to. I love Cam. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Cam. I need more of him in the books, so please, please tell me he's in Rapture more. In the first book it made it out to seem like there would be a love triangle between Luce, Daniel, and Cam. After the first book I haven't been feeling it. I mean, Cam does show up every now and then and saves Luce from some kind of trouble but give me more of his amazingly awesomeness!

I loved how Lauren flowed each short story into once. Shelby and Miles when they ran into Roland, brought on his story and then Arianne came into Roland's story. It was a great transition.
All and all it was a short, sweet read but not exciting. It's a great Valentine's Day read, but don't think the short novellas are always happily ever after. There's something to learn in each one.
I'm just happy to have read that Daniel and Luce finally got something pleasant out of the deal.
Now the countdown begins for "Rapture." Give me more Cam, and I'll be a happy, giddy Book Mama. =)

Review: http://theliteraturelion.blogspot.com/2012/03/fallen-in-love-by-lauren-kate.html
Fallen In Love is four short stories, each following the supporting characters on their Valentine's Day. It's been a while since I read Passion, so it was a bit hard getting into this, but after a while the character and plot came clearing. But yet, I didn't really like them that much.
The first short story, Love Where You Least Expect It, was about Shelby and Miles, two Nephilim that were following Luce through the Announcers. Out of all of the stories, I probably liked this one the best because these were the only two characters that I really remembered a lot about. I don't recall much romance happening between these two before this, but I like how their relationship grew. The trade that Shelby did for Miles hat and what Miles did for Shelby's gloves was adorable and I really liked how this one ended. Definitely my favorite of the four.
Second, we learned more about Roland in Love Lessons. This one wasn't as light-hearted as Miles and Shelby's story - it was definitely more sad and sorrowful. I don't really know what to say about this one without revealing some of the information, but Roland was much different compared to his cool demeanor in the original series. I really didn't find his that enjoyable until the end when we found out about his love one.
Arriane's story, Burning Love, was really interesting for me. I kind of guessed that Arriane was gay, but I don't think it was mentioned in the books. This made the angels seem a bit more real to me and even a little more heart-breaking between Arriane and her loved one, Tessa. In this short story, you also find out about how she received her scars!
Out of all of these, this one was my least favorite. I'm getting kind of sick of the Daniel and Luce story, so in Endless Love, I was getting kind of bored. Sure, it was the only Valentine's the two of them spent together, and Luce is gonna die and yada-yada-yada.
I must admit, I'm getting bored with all of the Daniel and Luce story. I may not even check out Rapture when it's released unless I hear really good reviews about it! Truly, I'm more curious about the other characters!

Was a nice add on and although I managed to read it in one sitting of an hour and a half I did find it a bit slow and that it dragged a little. It was nice to see the background of some characters and see Luce and Daniels only Valentines together though
