paddlefoot55 's review for:

The Consequence of Falling by Claire Contreras
4.0

ARC received for an honest review

"The thing about falling was that it didn't happen the way everyone imagined it. Sometimes it happened slowly, over time, and other times you find yourself sitting there waiting for the other person to catch up."

I adore a frenemies-to-lovers story, and Presley and Nathaniel's story is one that drew me in right from the start.

They fight and bicker and snarl at each other from the very moment they meet, however underneath all that snark you can feel the spark of attraction between them.

But don't expect things to get sexy any time soon. Oh no, our lovelies like to drag things out. It is kind of slow burn with years of underlying sexual tension. They have a love/hate relationship, which leads us to plenty of funny and frustrating times as a read.

This was also quiet an emotional book, particularly the later parts. It came upon me unexpectedly, and I may have shed a tear or two along the way.

I didn't want to put this book down once I started (stupid adulting getting in the way of my reading!). I really enjoyed it, and now am impatiently waiting to see what Ms Contreras brings us next.
