Unexpectedly Falling by Alexandra Hale
4.0
This is book 2 in the Blackstone Falls series, and I have not read book 1. It can be read as a standalone, but wonder, if I had read book 1 whether I would have had more context with the support characters. I did find it good all the same, and I do love Alexandra's writing.
This focuses on Jensen (Sheriff) and Nessa (soccer player master). Nessa has a high profile career, so is in the spotlight as a result. Nessa found herself the guardian listed for her niece (Baby Remi) after her Mum dies following her birth. Thru some "sleuthing" on Nessa's part, she discovers that Jensen is the Dad. Jensen and Scarlett (Remi's Mum) had a one night stand, so Jensen was none the wiser. So, overnight, our young Sheriff finds himself a Dad.
Nessa takes it upon herself to take Remi herself to Jensen, and, up until this moment, the only thing Jensen knew about Nessa, is what he had found online, and vice versa for Jensen. So, there was a mutual attraction already, but it wasn't until they met, that feelings were felt. Throw in some truly eclectic Blackstone Falls locals, and Jensen's Family, and Nessa finds herself in the place she didn't know she needed as much until she does. She is unsure taking the things to the next level with Jensen, and what's starts as "scratching the itch" (and he does sound mighty delicious) she has maybe found her HEA? What really made me feel all the feels was something mentioned (and could be a trope to be aware of before reading) had my heart breaking and I could relate to Nessa in a same but different way, and something she was so reluctant to share, as thought, because of this that she did not deserve the happiness that could be had. Truly worth a read, but, IMO, reading book 1 may help with the context of our eclectic side characters.
