Blog Tour Review: Fall For Me by JC Emery

FALL FOR ME starts a brand new series for JC Emery.  She’s jumping from MC into the world of firefighters with a family readers can’t help but be drawn too.

When I started FALL FOR ME I wasn’t sure what to expect from hot ass firefighter Jameson Hayes.  He was hot, he was sweet, he was all alpha male when he needed to be, but he was also a guy who was caught between two women.  And while I applaud Jameson for sticking to his slightly askew morale compass when it comes to Melanie, I just couldn’t understand why he couldn’t find a way to make things right with her sooner.  And when he did have the opportunity, why he squandered away so much time.

Melanie was a character that was easy to like.  I may not have agreed with all her choices when it came to Jameson, but I was pulling for her to get what she wanted.

While most of the storyline with FALL FOR ME revolved around the romance between Jameson and Melanie, there is also a little suspense with an arsonist that seems to be hell bent on getting revenge on the Hayes family and Ladder Company.  That storyline doesn’t get resolved here, but it appears it will be a constant thread through the other books in the series.  I’m curious as to what could possibly be the motivation behind all of this.

A solid start to the series.  I look forward to seeing what the remaining Hayes siblings (2 guys and a girl) have in store.

“Every time you think about me you touch your necklace.” His eyes fall from mine to the gold wishbone that hangs from my neck and rests against the hollow at the base of my throat. I remove my hand from my necklace. I don’t even realize I’m doing it half the time. I could lie, that I’m not thinking about him, but he wouldn’t believe me.

“You hear my voice and you touch it,” he says slowly with a soft smile that creeps up on his lips. “You see me walk by and you touch it.”

“And we’re friends,” I say, reminding both of us of this fact.

“Kind of hard to be friends when one of us is refusing to participate,” he says.

“This is stupid. We’re attracted to each other, but we’ve chosen not to do something about it. I’m going back to New Orleans until graduation and you’re stuck in a lease with Miss Cranky Pants. That’s our lives and every time you start being all Mr. Gorgeous, you make it hard for me to remember that.”

His shoulders shake as he laughs, looking carefree for the first time in over a week, and he breathes deeply as he calms himself. “Miss Cranky Pants, that’s a good one.”

I don’t even have the decency to be embarrassed for letting my nickname for Lydia slip in front of him. It’s bad enough I said it in front of Roy, his dad, who’s now using it on an almost exclusive basis. Thankfully, Jameson doesn’t call me on referring to him as Mr. Gorgeous.

“I want to be your friend but we need boundaries,” I say. I don’t really want friendship, but I’ll take what I can get.

“List your demands and I’ll list mine.”

Christ, this man is ridiculous.

As a child, JC was fascinated by things that went bump in the night. As they say, some things never change. Now, as an adult, she divides her time between the sexy law men, mythical creatures, and kick-ass heroines that live inside her head and pursuing her bachelor’s degree in English. JC is a San Francisco Bay Area native, but has also called both Texas and Louisiana home. These days she rocks her flip flops year round in Northern California and can’t imagine a climate more beautiful.

JC writes adult, new adult, and young adult fiction. She dabbles in many different genres including science fiction, horror, chick lit, and murder mysteries, yet she is most enthralled by supernatural stories– and everything has at least a splash of romance.
