Who Would Like This Book:

If you love heartfelt, slow-burn romances with complex characters and real emotional depth, this one's for you! "Can't Help Falling" charms with its NYC setting, found family vibes, clever banter, and a satisfying enemies-to-friends-to-lovers journey. Fans of character-driven contemporary romance, especially those who enjoy stories about growth and second chances, will be swept away by Tyler and Serafina's story - and the delightful cast of side characters (including appearances from Book 1).

Who May Not Like This Book:

If you prefer fast-paced plots or instant chemistry, the slow-burn romance and gradual character development here might not be your cup of tea. Some readers found the pacing a bit slow at the start and wished for more time with the leads as a couple. A few were also bugged by mismatched cover art vs. character descriptions. If you're looking for super-steamy scenes or a drama-filled love story, this one is a bit more sweet and introspective.

From The Publisher:

The more you resist,

the deeper you'll fallSerafine St. Romain doesn't need her psychic powers to know she's no longer in Tyler Leshuski's good graces. True, she did tear him to pieces when he asked her out, accusing him of being shallow and selfish. Despite the energy crackling between them, the gorgeous sports writer is a no-strings, no-kids kind of guy. And Serafine, raised in the foster system, intends to be a foster parent herself. She won't compromise that dream, even for a man as annoyingly appealing as Tyler.

In a simpler world, Tyler would already have gotten Serafine out of his system. For him, women equal fun. Not this kind of bone-deep, disconcerting desire. Life gets even more complicated when he becomes the guardian of his much younger sister. Suddenly, he's way out of his depth. Serafine's the only person who can connect with Kylie. He can't jeopardize that for a fling.

But maybe…just maybe…he's finally ready to risk everything on forever.
