This was definitely fun. 

I liked how
the sex took a long time to actually be consummated, even though they talked about it CONSTANTLY!


My one complaint is that I really didn't get why things changed between them <i>right now</i> aside for the fact this book needed to start... like, things between them have been bad for reasons, albeit bad ones, and then... suddenly, he realizes he's been a douche and agrees he must get along with her better. I felt it was too shallow. I wanted a better reason for that to happen.

The Harder You Fall is book three in The Original Heartbreakers series by Gena Showalter.

I’m just adoring this series and devouring the books one by one. I just love the hometown feel, the characters and what they go through, and last narrator Savannah Richards captures me from the moment I start listening to the very end.

In The Harder You Fall we have Jessie Kay Dillon and Lincoln West. Jessi Kay is Brook Lynn’s sister. We’ve gotten to know her as a party girl and Brook Lynn is constantly saving her. We also see that their is some type of hostility or is it chemistry; between Jessie and West. Lincoln West, the millionaire video-game creator. He moved to Strawberry Vale to help his friend out. He’s got some major issues; a dark past that’s filled with drug addiction, foster homes, and more. He’s never forgiven himself on what his best friend went through and what happened to his teenage girlfriend, so now he is punishing himself.

We finally get a better understand of Jessie Kay’s actions and why she did the things she did and we also get to understand West and his issues. We see that Jessie Kay is turning her life around and starting to value herself. She’s proving to her sister and herself that she can turn her life around and be good. She’s spontaneous, crazy, funny, and cares about her family and friends. I felt for her. As for West, well I’ve liked him since book one and couldn’t wait to see someone come along and help him out of his funk and get him to enjoy life. He needs a little life back in his life.

These two together where amazing. I loved their relationship and how it progressed. Jessie Kay just seemed to know how to help West get over his issues. They were made for each other and brought out the best in each other.

Audio: Savannah Richards is a wonderful narrator for this series. She brings out the heartfelt moments and channels the characters to perfection. I have no complaint’s. I’ve come to adore the audio’s and can’t see myself enjoying them in another way. I’m pulled in from the start to end.

The Harder You Fall is sexy, sweet, and tender in all the right places. I feel in love with this couple at the start and had a fun ride seeing them work through things and find happiness. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend in order, if not you will miss out on the character connections and how they all come together to have these amazing relationships.

Rated: 4 Stars

the hero was a bit of an a-hole. Writing was geared towards a younger generation.

H-O-T! I'm also a sucker for unrequited love or maybe last in this case.

This is the third book in the Original Heartbreakers series and you finally get to see Lincoln West and Jessie Kay Dillon deal with their issues. This book just had my emotions all over the place and I absolutely fell even more in love with these characters and finally getting an even deeper understanding of these characters was a truly beautiful experience. Gena Showalter just has a way with words and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
