lifeinthebooklane's review against another edition

Whilst this is a shorter read it is still a very engaging and wonderful story. The novella has a small number of characters and scenes, allowing us to focus on Jordan, Addie and their relationship.
The author did a wonderful job of making me feel comfortable and familiar with both main characters. I also felt and believed in their passion for each other. I'm not always the biggest fan of 'insta-love' in a story but Addie's reactions and thoughts made it work for me in this book.
As with all good romances, the path wasn't all smooth sailing but Jordan managed to show Addie that he would never let her or Piper down. When I describe the story as 'sweet' I'm not meaning that it is a clean read but that it is a heart-warming, feel good read, without being cloying or contrived. There is plenty of steam in the book, some good interactions with family (which were so real and human in their content) and some well written in background to the characters.
The pace was good, I read the book almost in one sitting as it held my attention. The story felt full and complete and the plot was not cliched or predictable. This is a well written and very enjoyable story.

Pretty good read. I loved the plot. The characters were likable, although pretty simple. The end felt a bit rushed, and not fully complete. I liked Falling for Jordan enough to finish reading, and enough that I will definitely keep this author in mind for future reads, although I'm not sure I would reread this.

I'm surprised I actually finished it. The editing was horrible (trig-state-area?!), the dialogues often forced and awkward and the overall story development felt super rushed.

Liz has always provided us with her beautiful and human characters that I can't seem to help but fall in love with them, Jordan and Addy are no exception. It's a unique series, there are not many books out there in which authors have explored the theme of the women falling for younger guys and I have loved reading about it.
Jordan and Addy's story is unique and full of real world, I often forgot that they were not real because to me they were so real, filled with hopes and doubts and love and struggles.
Addy is an epitome of a woman who has always followed the rules but she is fade up of it because that meant not living her life, not free to make mistakes and learn from it but when she did do something so out of her own thinking, she ended up with a life she deserved even though it took time.
Jordan, oh how can we forget him, he may not be perfect because he does have flaws but he is the kind of guy who you wish for because he'll except you as you are and though it was a shock that he was a father, he didn't do the typical guy thing and not except it, he took it all in and took it in stride and I liked that about him. He didn't just think about himself, he thought of Addy and how it must have effected her and of his little girl he hadn't even met and fell in love with her in first sight.
I also loved other characters like Rachel who was not real a villian but a negative character who was important in their story and was struggling with her problems. I loved Addy mom as well who pushed Addy a lot but also loved her so much.
The entire time I was reading the story (took me a day because I couldn't put it down) I couldn't help but feel that they were real and out there somewhere living their life. Honestly, I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read an unique love story.
