3.5 Smooches
Synopsis
“Just let yourself fall for me.”
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.

Review
If you love firefighter romances then you’ll love this. I love the TV shows Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D so I was excited to read this. Hot firefighter? Yes. Please. Melanie Kincaid comes from a privileged family and is more than used to getting what she wants. Jameson Hayes follows in a long line of hard working family members. They have always worked hard for what they want and where they are now. But it seems neither Melanie or Jameson can have what they want no matter how much they want it.
“…but I want you to fall for me. I want to be what keeps you up at night and what puts a smile on your face in the morning.”
This review is hard to do because I don’t want to give anything away that could ruin the story for anyone. I’ll start off with why I gave it 3.5 smooches- the only reason I did is because I personally didn’t connect with it, there was something missing for me I can’t explain it and I was frustrated at myself because I really wanted to. Saying that though the story was pretty good. Melanie and Jameson have a really strong pull that they can’t help it and at times they don’t want to but either way its there and the chemistry between them is hot when they are together. Jameson has some complications in his life and Melanie not used to not getting what she wants doesn’t always make the best decisions but you forgive her because you can’t help but love her sassy and funny personality. “Seriously though. Penises are weird. They’re all cylindrical and they have a mushroom head. Weird.” Some situations in the book you may not like- but keep in mind its not always how it seems. There is also the angst and danger of the job they are in and how it effects everyone. I also loved the friendships and relationships that grew within both Melanie and Jameson’s families and regardless of not connecting with this one as much as I’d like to I can’t wait for the next one to get more of the Hayes’ brothers. ~Jade
