After We Fall by Melanie Harlow Publication Date: November 28th, 2016 Genre: Contemporary Romance
Synopsis:
Jack Valentini isn’t my type.
Sexy, brooding cowboys are fine in the movies, but in real life, I prefer a suit and tie. Proper manners. A close shave.
Jack might be gorgeous, but he’s also scruffy, rugged, and rude. He wants nothing to do with a “rich city girl” like me, and he isn’t afraid to say so.
But I’ve got a PR job to do for his family’s farm, so he’s stuck with me for ten days, and I’m stuck with him. His glares. His moods. His tight jeans. His muscles.
His huge, hard muscles.
Pretty soon there’s a whole different kind of tension between us, the kind that has me misbehaving in barns, trees, and pickup trucks. I’ve never done anything so out of character—but it feels too good to stop.
And the more I learn about the grieving ex-Army sergeant, the better I understand him. Losing his wife three years ago left him broken and bitter and blaming himself. He doesn’t think he deserves a second chance at happiness.
But he’s wrong.
I don’t need to be his first love. If only he’d let me be his last.
“Second chances are not given to make things right, but are given to prove that we could be even better after we fall.” —Unknown

Review Copy Provided by Author
We meet the heroine, Margot, first in After We Fall and while this is her story too, I couldn't help but be drawn in by the hero, Jack.
Jack is a veteran and spent 2 tours in a war zone. He is also a widower carrying more guilt and baggage than he should. I love Jack and the emotional journey and transformation that Ms. Harlow took him on. I liked Margot too and while her character evolved in the story, it didn't seem to be as transformational. It was more of an extension of her core personality, which was already pretty awesome.
Margot and Jack together are amazing. The attraction and sexual tension between the two leaps of the page, but what made me really love them was the emotional and personal connections that they made. Margot is the balm to soothe Jack and they bring each other further into the lives that they really want to lead.
A small, but active secondary cast rounds out this wonderful book that leaves you both satisfied with the story, but also wanting to know more.
