Review of Just Fall by Annica Rossi


Just Fall
By Annica Rossi

How far would you go to save everything?

Life hadn’t dealt Lauren St. John a fair hand, yet she considered herself lucky to be living on the majestic shores of Lake Michigan running the business her parents worked their whole lives to create... Until now.

Facing the possibility of losing The Grandview Inn and her relationship with Jake Kennedy, the man she vowed to marry, “Lo” is desperate to hold on. In the middle of her anguish, the unexpected arrival of longtime guests, Tom and Mary Blackwell, seems like a welcome relief, but just when she thinks things couldn’t get any worse, she discovers they’ve brought along an unwelcome ghost from her past.

Enter the dangerously seductive Parker Blackwell, renowned poker player and notorious bad boy, with a propensity for kinky sex.

Seven summers ago, the gauntlet was thrown down from the moment Lo and Parker laid eyes on each other. Too young to realize the gravity of their connection, their friendship grew until a series of tragic events began to unfold, and Parker mysteriously disappeared, leaving Lo heartbroken and unwilling to forgive.

Grown up now, and suddenly forced to confront their unresolved feelings and undeniably explosive sexual attraction, the situation intensifies into an enticing and comical game of “it’s your move”. But when Parker raises the stakes too high will Lo put herself on the line to save everything she’s ever known?

***This is an erotic romance featuring explicit sexual content. It is recommended for readers 18+.

Review:

This book was a great quick read.  It's an erotic/contemporary romance and is approximately 36,000 words.  It's part one in a series.  Annica Rossi, is a brand new indie author.  She really hit it out of the park with her debut novella. 

In the story Lauren St. John (Lo) is struggling to keep The Grandveiw Inn open.  She is dating Jake Kennedy but we see very little of him in the story.   Parker Blackwell shows up at the Grandview Inn with his Aunt and Uncle.   Sparks fly between Parker and Lo.  Parker has been a player, having many different girls and never more than once.  He knows Lo from their childhood.  For him Lo is it, he just has to make Lo realize it. 
 
For some of the story Lo is dating Jake.  There is a cheating in the story but it didn't bother me because Jake seems to be such a minor character and the chemistry between Lo and Parker is so  strong.   There are some great steamy scenes between Lo and Parker.
 
The book ends with Lo going off to try to save The Grandview Inn. I knew starting the story that it was a series and expected a cliffhanger but this ending leaves you wondering what will happen next.  Will she save The Grandview Inn?  Will Lo and Parker be together?  I can't wait to read more.
