Melanie Kincaid is a trust-fund baby with a knack for sassy comebacks and unnecessarily complicating her privileged life. So, of course, she would have to fall in love with a man she can't have. Jameson Hayes is a NYC firefighter for Manhattan's oldest ladder company. He has big shoes to fill and a city to protect. He's strong, sexy, and not looking for the complications Melanie brings. But he can't stay away from her either. The attraction between them is immediate, and the pull is crazy powerful. But she's only home for the summer and long-distance relationships never work. Unfortunately, Melanie's beauty and smart mouth are a lethal combination and Jameson isn't the only Hayes who's interested. As if his brother isn't enough to compete with, now the city's most famous arsonist wants to claim her as his next prize. Jameson can't stand to watch Melanie get hurt and she can't seem to keep herself out of trouble. Fall for Me is the first Ladder Company novel, a stand-alone companion series about New York's most elite firefighting family with hot alpha heroes, snarky heroines, and an arsonist hell-bent on destruction.… (more)

Who else has read J.C.'s other work? I couldn't wait to get my greedy hands on this one. I am a huge fan of J.C.'s! Let start off a little different. Before I delve into my thoughts on the book, I want to discuss the author's previous work. (Don't worry, I have my reasons.) The past books I have read of hers have been gritty and captivating. They are more down and dirty reads. So those nay-sayers who didn't like her previous works, you don't need to overlook this one. It's nothing like her other works, I promise!

Okay.. On to this book. I am sitting here smiling as I try to figure out what can be said and what I need to leave out. We all love a good love story. Many love the fireman theme.,.. Me? I don't care the theme, so long as it isn't cheesy! No cheese here. I swear. Firemen. Flirting. Stalkers. Psycho girlfriends. This book has many great characteristics right off the bat that should have you ready to read.

This book had me from the first page. Engaging. Intriguing. Witty banter. I was hooked immediately! The story-line will have your heart pounding and your mind racing. I mean, come on... Unrequited love... Phycho stalker... Two brothers lusting after the same girl. It's guaranteed to not be boring, ever!

This story evolves in just the right way. J.C. kept me wanting more the whole way through. I will admit, I wasn't a Jameson fan a couple of times in the book. Although some situations fit his character, I just didn't like his excuse making for his actions. Typical male in that aspect. Pull up your pants and be a big boy!

The only thing I wasn't fond of was the ending... I am not going to give you the ending. For me, the ending didn't fit. There is a psycho stalker-arsonist after them throughout the book... One would expect there to be a HUGE cliffhanger. Now before you cliffhanger haters start griping, hear me out. I don't care what someone's feelings are on cliffhangers. Some storylines require them. They make the story that more powerful. I get that this is supposed to be a standalone, but really, it should have left me hanging a little harder. I wanted my jaw to plummet to the ground. I wanted to cuss at my Kindle. I just needed more.

Overall, this is a wonderful book. It is very entertaining and there is no dull moment in the story. My advice? One-click it. Soon. Immediately. On payday. Whenever. Just do it. ( )

I was really excited when I read the blurb for this new series. I haven't read anything by this author before and was prepared to try something new. Who doesn't love the idea of a firefighter falling in love and finding the one?

Fall for me started out really strong and I was really engrossed in the storyline. However about half way through it started to fall away for me. I was expecting more romance between the main characters and more drama for a firefighter romance. And because I was left wanting something more, I feel left hanging by this story. I'm happy that they got their happy every after, well I think they did. The ending came to quickly and now I want to see more from Jameson and Mel. ( )
