The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . After She Fell . . . Did I get what I was looking for? What exactly was I looking for when I picked up this one? Just reading the blurb gave me a sense of feeling close to Christina. I could understand her plight and her love for a man that she had not even been on a date with or intimate with. I got more than I was expecting. I wanted a woman that was burned by love and found her way to love again, but this was more detailed and bit more emotional, but hat was what made it more than I expected. Christina was among one of millions of women that had been burned by love. She was burned, humiliated, and left broken and feeling worthless. You could not really tell all that by the front she put on but she was hurting.
I wont lie to you. When you begin the story you will find her to be a bit bitchy and maybe defensive. If you had not read the blurb you would probably be turned off of her and finding out more. I highly suggest you go further and find out what caused her to be this way. I want you to continue to turn page after page and learn more about Christina and the predicament she finds herself in with her boss' son, Jason.
Jason was to me a man on a mission. He wanted to known more about Christina. The woman that was so controlled. The woman that fascinated him. He put forth an effort and then more and then even more. He was certain that he could get through to her.
Jason and Christina did not look to be a match in the beginning. And as you read further you wonder what could Jason possibly be think, but then you find out more about Christina's past and open up to her more and then understanding settles in.
What was found in these pages was love, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, some frustration, and a second chance to make things more than just a dream or desire. Christina grew in this story. She became more of herself again because she allowed herself to fall.
I very much enjoyed the characters both primary (with some time, Christina) and the secondary. The story was one that I could see being a friend or a family member or even myself going through . There was a connection with the story and the characters. Thank you Amber Laura.
BLURB
She’s tried for years to convince herself that she isn’t in love with him. If it hasn’t worked, at least she’s managed to convince him of it, anyway.
A tragic love affair from her past had shattered Christina’s illusions of romance—it’d shattered her entire world, left her utterly broken and blamed. She’s fallen once before. She isn’t about to make the same mistake twice!
Jason Gordman is off-limits. Charming, playful, confident—he’s everything dangerous to her defenses. Worse yet, he’s the boss’s son. Hiding behind antagonism and indifference, Christina manages to keep him at a careful distance. That is, until one fateful night when she finds herself snowbound with him in a blizzard and she slips, allows herself one, forbidden kiss…
Struggling to reconcile her feelings, Christina is entirely unprepared for where that one stolen moment will lead her.
