ARC Review – Fall Into You (Loving On The Edge #3) by Roni Loren

From the first scene between Grant and Charli to the last, Fall Into You is an enthralling, edgy, sexy story. It makes you hope and root for a couple that deserves to find peace and happiness. The underlying theme of this story when all is said and done, is not dominance and submission, it’s not clubs and lessons, it’s not just sex and pleasure – It’s love. ~ Guilty Pleasures

Description:
He’ll do anything for you. But you’d better say please.

When tomboy sports reporter Charli Beaumonde loses a dream TV job because she’s not girly enough for primetime, she’s determined to land a big scoop and prove her boss made a mistake. But when she gets too close to a football scandal and finds her life threatened, Charli accepts an offer from family friend Grant Waters to hide out at his place—even if Grant predicts nothing but trouble from his buddy’s hard-headed, uncompromising, irrepressible, younger sister. There’s one more problem…

Grant’s “place” is The Ranch, a BDSM resort in Texas, and he’s used to being in charge —even if that means trying to keep Charli in line. But much to Grant’s surprise, she’s intrigued—even envious—of his trainees. They’re the epitome of what she’s never been: sexy, beguiling, and totally irresistible to a man. Still, Grant doesn’t believe for a minute that the sharp-tongued Charli has it in her to be anyone’s submissive. But Charli’s already on her knees vying for the chance to prove that even the Master can be wrong sometimes.

Holy hot whips … there is a lot of steamy action going on back at The Ranch! I am so excited book three is finally here. We met Grant in book two. He was so mysterious and intriguing, I just knew there had to be a big story behind him. He’s a sexy confident powerful Dom on the outside, but on the inside he is living with guilt and grief. He has been destroyed and is living in a pretend world. That is until one very feisty, sexy lady enters his world and starts seeing through the layers he has buried deep behind.

I will be up front and honest and say BDSM is not my favorite genre. I don’t typically search it out for my reading enjoyment. I got really turned off when it became so popular a while ago and everyone had an opinion what was right and wrong. There is no definition set in stone and there is no right or wrong way to live or dabble in the lifestyle, so how can something be wrong? What I will say is that when an author delivers a story that works for the couple involved and is able to pull your interest and make you care and love fictional characters they have done everything right. Roni does just that and more with this series and I have loved every book so far. Her writing style is unique and she has a very captivating style. She is able to deliver emotion and heartbreak as well as humor and sultry sex all entangled throughout a heartwarming love story.

Grant is the owner of vineyard and also a highly secluded and secret BDSM resort called The Ranch. He is powerful, and very successful in his professional life. His personal life is another matter. I loved the way Grant way portrayed. He was two separate characters. He is confident and brilliant with his club and business. He is a true leader and is highly respected. But in the privacy of his own home when he’s just alone with his past, he is grieving, feeling guilty and lost.

After Charli lands at The Ranch, she quickly learns the resort is not the family oriented, bring the kids for a weekend, getaway that she thought it was. She is intrigued by what she is introduced to and to her surprise she seems to have a submissive streak that she never knew existed. Grant agrees to take her on as his sub for a short time to teach her the basics and help polish her image. They agree to spend two weeks working together. He will teach her about his lifestyle, and then if she likes what she has learned, she is free to find a permanent Dom to work with. Grant does not do permanent, relationships, or anything long-term. She quickly learns that two weeks with her cowboy is not good for her heart as she starts falling for hard for him.

To Grant’s dismay Charli is just what he needs to be able to start living again. He just won’t accept it. As much as his head knows she is everything he wants, his heart is still in a relationship with a memory. There were moments that the pain and confusion he feels on the pages completely consumed me and my heart just broke for him, for her, and for a future I didn’t ever think they would have.

From the first scene between Grant and Charli to the last, Fall Into You is an enthralling, edgy, sexy story. It makes you hope and root for a couple that deserves to find peace and happiness. The underlying theme of this story when all is said and done, is not dominance and submission, it’s not clubs and lessons, it’s not just sex and pleasure – It’s love. This story is like a complicated puzzle. We know each piece fits together, but the real work is turning and twisting them the right direction to make that happen. Charli and Grant just needed some twisting and turning and some resolution to happen before their lives and happiness can click into place.
