Okay I really didn't think this book was that great but, I did like how I got to learn more about the other characters. I absolutely hate Daniel and Luce so it was great to see the other characters past. I really liked the chapter on Roland because we did not really know much about his past. Also, I thought that Miles and Shelby made a great couple. I really wasn't expecting Arriane's back story but I do not disagree with it. I would have liked to see Arriane and Roland get together but who knows. Maybe it will happen.

This book was written wonderfully, I just feel like it drug on. It was a short read and it was great to know a little more about the characters and such, I just felt like some of this could have been included in the other books in shorter ways. But of course I chose to read this book between books 3 & 4, and was waiting to get to book 4.

really enjoyed the short stories that intertwined, however Cam is my favourite character and I feel like he is hardly in anything ! *sigh* (but now he has his own book.. and he is the main character..YAY)

Fallen in Love is a short story from the Fallen universe. The story details the Valentine's Day of Miles and Shelby, Roland, Arriane and of course Luce and Daniel. I enjoyed the stories of Miles and Shelby and Luce and Daniel. However, I found Roland story was just so sad, and Arriane story was depressing. I feel that this book was well written. Kate does a really good job with weaving the four stories of into one. Also some questions were answered about Roland and Arriane. Overall, I did not like all of the stories, but Kate is such a good author that although I do not like her tales of love I can always enjoy a well written book.

It was cute to read about the love stories of the supporting characters. Nice to know they have a life of their own. Yet I feel like all the characters are fairly complacent, even Luce and Daniel, which doesn’t make for a super exciting story.

Good. A nice break from the main story and it shows the beginning of an intimate relationship between miles and Shelby. though I felt that it didn't benefit the overall story progression in any way (didn't make a difference). If you are thinking of either reading it or skipping it, I'd recommend just skipping it unless you like the character of miles and Shelby

"Fallen in Love" by Lauren Kate is a collection of short stories that take place in the world of the "Fallen" series. While it's always enjoyable to revisit familiar characters and settings, I found that this book didn't quite live up to the high standards set by the previous installments.
The stories in "Fallen in Love" are all focused on romantic relationships between various characters from the series, and while some of them are sweet and touching, others felt a bit forced or underdeveloped. Additionally, because the stories are so short, there isn't as much room for character development or world-building as there was in the main books.
That being said, I did appreciate that "Fallen in Love" gave us some additional insights into the histories and personalities of some of the supporting characters in the series. It was also interesting to see some of the events from the main books from different perspectives.
One of the downsides of "Fallen in Love" is that it doesn't really add anything new or essential to the series as a whole. While it's a pleasant enough read for fans who are already invested in the characters and their relationships, it's not likely to win over any new readers.
Overall, "Fallen in Love" is a decent addition to the "Fallen" series, but it's not as compelling or well-crafted as the main books. If you're a fan of the series, you'll probably enjoy it, but if you're new to the world of "Fallen," I would recommend starting with the main books instead.

I feel like I am in a different position than most when writing this review because I have actually never read any of the other books in the series. I believe my review will be different largely because of that.
So, this book is like four short stories that take place at the same time. It was one of the reasons that drew me to this book because the idea of four short stories sounded easy to read and I was specifically looking for a quick, easy read. The stories all deal with love, the first being Shelby and Miles, the second being Roland and Rosaline, third is Arriane and Tess, and lastly, Daniel and Lucinda.
As someone who has never read the previous books, I was able to catch on pretty quickly with Announcers, fallen angels, and the concept of time travel and how it works in these stories. The most confusing story to read (having not read the previous books) was Arriane and Tess's because their love story relies so heavily on the fallen angel lore. I was able to put the pieces into place as I read, but I can only imagine that most readers probably already know their backstory prior to reading this novel.
That being said, it was an easy and enjoyable read. Some of the stories were actually heartbreaking, while some were really lovely. I was also pleasantly surprised by the author's historical knowledge on medieval society, without being a historical piece. Examples include needing to find proper attire for the period, the odd accent and lingo of modern day society, and getting disease from drinking the water. It was just a bonus I wasn't expecting.
