I don't hide that I am a huge Georgia Beers fan, having read nearly every book she had released. She continues to produce quality stories that seem to get better with each new book. Fear of Falling is another fantastic story with characters you care about and want to see together with an HEA at the end.
There is not a lot of sex in this story, but that is in no way a bad thing. It is a slow growing burn as Sophie James and Dana Landon get to know each other as talent and manager and begin to develop feelings for each other. Sophie has led a wholesome career and has hidden her desire to be with another woman. Her journey is a wonderful coming out story. Dana is 10 years older than Sophie and went through a heart breaking relationship just a year before. She knows as her manager that professionally she shouldn't give into her growing feelings for her new client, but she can't resist. Her story is one of overcoming a bad relationship and giving into a relationship that scares her.
I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a sweet romantic tale that leaves you feeling warm and satisfied.
I was provided a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased and fair review.

This is the story about the worldwide famous singer Sophie James. When her manager and somewhat father figure Ray passes away, he's replaced with a new manager, Dana Landon. Dana and Sophie's relationship quickly developes into a friendship and soon into something more.
This is my second Georgia Beers book but I knew while reading the first one that she was quickly gonna become a favorite author of mine.
Everything about her books are fantastic, the characters, the chemistry, the setting, the writing. I enjoyed this book a lot, both the characters were very likable and the chemistry between them was great. It had everything a good romance novel should have.
I'm not always a fan of the typical ''annoying'' ex trope but in this book it was fine. It ended well and it didn't ruin the story like it easily can in other cases.
The only thing I felt was missing was I hoped the author would've gone more in depth about the main character Sophie's relationship with her mother. We knew they didn't have the strongest relationship and that her mother wasn't super involved in Sophie's life but I would've still liked to see a little more of it. I would've liked to maybe see the mother's reaction to her coming out and everything but other than that it was great.
I would definently recommend this to anyone and everyone. It's a very easy and easy but also captivating and amazing read. I know I'll be re-reading this in the future.

Aaaaah. That's exactly how reading a Georgia Beers book is for me. It's like coming in from the cold, snuggling under a blanket in front of the fireplace - warm, familiar and something I'd do over and over again.
This book is like that. It's not groundbreaking in its newness, but I don't think any typical romance novel is, so for me, I read these kinds of romance books just for the fun of it. I know there's almost no possibility of being disappointed, and it's more often than not a slam dunk.
Fun, a little bit angsty, great characters. Very Georgia Beers, and very recommendable.

A very sweet, feel good romance that was low on angst and miscommunication.

I forgot to review this back when I read the book, so while I won't go into many details, the feeling remains: I enjoyed this book thoroughly. There's something about wlw romance books where one of the girls is a celebrity that just makes me go "yassss give me more!"
This book has a singer and her new agent falling in love, it's super sweet and done in this kind of slow burn way that I enjoy so much. Plus, the conflict in the book was enough to make me not want to put it down (but in a good way, it wasn't overly dramatic or related to them as a couple).
All in all, kudos to the writer, the story was awesome and I want to read more of her :)

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. There were times when I really loved this book, and times when I was exceedingly frustrated. I loved the chemistry and connection between Dana and Sophie, but the introduction to Dana's ex was ridiculous at times. During Thanksgiving, Dana didn't think of her once, and then the next day she is unsure and confused about whether or not she should give her a second chance. It seemed that the pull Dana's ex had over her told me that she wasn't all that into Sophie, which bothered me as the reader could tell how much Sophie wanted Dana. This would have been a fantastic read if Dana's ex did not come back into her life.

This was such a heartwarming and sweet romance. If you are looking for a feel-good and relatively low-angst read, this is definitely one to pick up. This is another manager-musician romance (because I am honestly binging all the celebrity romance books this year) and it did it well. It had that lightly “forbidden” feel, it had a strong focus on empowering Sophie as her own artist/person rather than being controlled by men in her life and also touched on overcoming grief.
While I enjoyed the romance, the sweet tropes (like bed sharing) and the friendships in this novel, it didn’t stand out for me. While I definitely saw the chemistry and budding romance between Dana and Sophie, I wasn’t sold completely on their love and emotional connection. It just went a little too fast once they started admitting their physical feelings. Despite this, I enjoyed Georgia Beer’s writing and am looking forward to reading more from her.

Stopped at chapter three. I wasn’t a fan of the dialogue, particularly that of the friend’s husband with the MC. Characters felt underdeveloped, and the MC went from zero to unprofessional in the space of what I read.
