Eloquently
written and highly emotional "If We Fall" is the continuing story of
Josie Mays and Cole Danforth, two people destined to be together. From
childhood friends growing up in the small town of Castille, Maine to
teenagers falling hopelessly in love and planning a future, they were
the perfect couple until one night changed the course of their lives
forever. Tragedy struck the Mays family which tore Josie and Cole apart.
Utterly
shattered from the circumstances surrounding that ill-fated evening,
Cole inexplicably decided to leave Josie in hopes she can find the
strength to heal and move beyond her grief. Lost and alone, Josie fled
to California devastated and heartbroken. After ten long unhappy years,
she is called home only to find the sweet boy she once loved is gone and
in his place was a stranger ~ a cold, calculated and vengeful man
determined to keep his distance from Josie.
Perception
is not reality when it comes to Cole. At first, I disliked the bitter
and ruthless man he became while mourning the beloved young boy that
captured my heart. However, my feelings towards his character quickly
changed when seeing his truth. A dark hero shrouded in mystery, he
sacrificed all to protect the woman he so desperately loved. Unable to
fight the magnetic attraction, all of Cole's pent-up love and passion
for his Josie Bird exploded as fireworks between this couple deliciously
ignited. I enjoyed every lust-filled intense moment of their reunion.
Josie's
character touched my heart. Burdened with great sorrow, she suffered
tremendously missing her family and Cole. Plagued with horrific
nightmares, she sadly was unable to move on from the past. But through
her pain, she found the strength to break through Cole's barriers in
hopes of finding comfort and happiness. Tenacious yet compassionate,
Josie was a force, and I absolutely adored her.
There's
so much more of their story to explore as well as discovering the
missing pieces of the puzzle that caused Cole's separation. With "If We
Fall" Nina Lane once again sent my emotions into turmoil. I love how
this author and her characters touch the very heart of me as Josie and
Cole's journey will stay with me for a very long time. 5+++ stars that
is a MUST READ!! I cannot wait for this saga's conclusion in "If We
Fly."
