This moment, this space between us, felt like everything.
It felt like family. And home. And a future.
Of course E.M. Lindsey wrote the most swoony, romantic holiday romance of the year!
Atlas and Ryan’s story was both heartbreaking and heartwarming, with slow burn and fast feelings at the same time. Ryan was the EMT that kept Atlas alive after a car crash, and neither of them could move on from the connection they felt to each other in the ambulance. It took some time and a chance meeting for them to reconnect, but once they did it was all sparks.
While they were both feeling hesitant about the intense chemistry and fast paced romance, they couldn’t deny how right things felt between them. I loved seeing them reconnecting and confessing to each other how they hadn’t been able to forget the promises made in the back of the ambulance. Even if it was a bit of a whirlwind romance once they found each other, it worked well considering their connection and didn’t feel rushed.
The Night We Fell was a sweet and tender holiday romance, full of hurt / comfort and found family. Ryan and Atlas were so cute together and I loved how supportive they were and that they both took care of each other. It was such a heartwarming and swoony treat to read, and the perfect story to end my year with!
“I want to spend tonight with you because that’s how I want the rest of my year to go.”
