f*ck and fall in love. Nicole Falls. 2019. 71 pages. [Source: Kindle Unlimited.]
Ugh! I loved everything about this novella, except that I’m not still reading about Jane and Nigel.
Jane has the (un)fortunate task of serving as a local marketing rep to her parent company’s quarterly meeting. While there, she has the lucky fortune of meeting Nigel, a bouncer at a rooftop bar. Throwing most of her caution to the wind as a result of some highly impressive cocktails, they have a quick fling before she hops a plane home.
But then she has to fly back to New York. Again, and again.
This is a short and mostly sweet story about some out of town d*ck, essentially. But it’s cute, funny, and enticing all in one. I very intentionally did not read anything about the f*ck and fall in love before it, so I could avoid projecting my own expectations and assumptions on it. I didn’t know what to expect, and I was not disappointed. Frankly, with a title like f*ck and fall in love, I was sure I’d be treated to some sexy scenes. And while it definitely has the characteristics of a romance, it also offers more depth to the characters that doesn’t make it feel as cursory as other novellas, nor as substance-free as some erotica.
Selfishly, I hope these characters make a return somewhere in a future novel. If you’re looking for a quick, enjoyable read with some feeling in it, f*ck and fall in love is a sure bet.
