Let’s take a a little look inside of Romeo Falling by Jesse H Reign.
Romeo Falling was a fantastic story that had a vice-like grip on my heart while reading; all that pining, the pain, the promises, the open windows… It’s beautiful and emotional, with a lot of flashbacks and memories while Jude was trying to puzzle things together and figure out where and why things fell apart for him and Romeo.
I loved getting to know Romeo through Jude’s eyes and memories, and I didn’t want to put their story down. It was a slow burn romance, on the angsty side with a hard won HEA. It does contain some cheating (not between the MCs), so be mindful if that’s a trigger for you. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for an epic love story with some real heartbreak in it – it really was a fantastic read!
How it begins…
Romeo always said there was a forcefield spanning the length and breadth of our town. A join in the tar, a slight step down that tracks across the motorway just near the Welcome to Alabaster Falls sign on the outskirts of town.
