To me all of Jennifer's NA books are becoming the same. Boy and girl meet, both have sad pasts, fall in love, overcome it, yadi yadi yada. Doesn't mean I love them any less, just making a point. Jen can write the same thing a ton of times and make it amazing each time around. This time around we got a sexy cop, spunky bartender who loves to wear shirts with sayings on them, and a whole lot of steam. Not a bad combination.

In Stay with Me we got the hint that something went on between Reece and Roxy, we don't find out the full extent of it until Fall with Me though. Roxy has been in love with Reece since she was fifteen years old, and he never seemed to notice her. Eleven months ealier there was an incident, one that involved alcohol, clothes being removed and some kisses that still make Roxy blush to think about. But where Reece is too drunk to remember it and believes they had sex only Roxy knows the real truth. They didn't get that far. Guarding her heart Roxy did what she thought was best, hating Reece. Only that is hard when she sees his face almost everyday. Soon they start over, but will Roxy be able to let Reece in? But at the same time Roxy is loosing her best friend Charlie, who is in a long term care facility due to an accident from years earlier and she is being stalked.

Out of all of Jen's leading girls, Roxy is my favorite. She is snarky, a little nerdy, and artistic. There are so many qualities about her that I thoroughly enjoyed. She is also incredibly strong. Dealing with Charlie alone, those scenes nearly ripped my hearts to shreds. Jen managed to capture Roxy's pain in a way that makes you experience it along with her. Though I didn't find Roxy's past as dark as I found Teresa, Avery, or Calla's it was still painful. She is in the mist of loosing her best friend. Words said six years before and a rock changed her life forever. Reece was the character with the darker past, he went into the military from high school and when he left the military he became a police officer. Only shortly after being involved in a shooting that left an eighteen year old boy dead.

Fall with Me gets my vote of the steamiest novel in this series so far. Things said, referenced, done, found, thought about, ect. Sex plays into a huge part of the story though because for the past eleven months Reece has thought that they had sex and he was too drunk to remember, when really they never did, Roxy was so mortified at herself that she never corrected him.

Overall Fall with Me was amazing. I devoured it with in a few sittings and I can't wait until book five. Jen used the perfect amount of mystery and suspense with a mix of romance and steam to keep Fall with Me from loosing your attention. I do want a book seven from Katie's POV though. She is my favorite minor character.

It felt like the story progressed really fast, like it was just a few days, I think it was short too. But I liked it, I just feel something was missing, don't know what though. I still enjoy it as I enjoy everything that Armentrout writes :)
