Fallen For You (The Killer Next Door, Part 1) by Carlie Sexton

BOYFRIEND BOOKMARK RATING: ★★★★★

Fallen For You is scheduled to be released on June 6, 2013!

If you believe your life is the sum total of your choices, what do you do when things just don’t add up? You are about to find out. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be dull. And surely, it won’t be safe. In fact, making just one wrong choice could put evil at your bedside watching you sleep.

And so it is with Kate Simmons, a young woman who, by choosing to regain her life, actually puts it at risk by the very choices she makes. After unimaginable heartbreak stops her world on a dime, Kate falls into a three-year blackness of self blame that brings her to the edge of life, itself. As time finally brings light back through tiny cracks of renewed desire, Kate moves out of the prison she made for herself in her mother’s home to find a new reality, rooming with her best girlfriend, Charlie.

Yet, to be free is to be vulnerable, and Kate’s choices more than ever mark a splattered line between being happy and being dead.

Care to choose? Here’s your menu:

A strangely alluring building manager so possessed with wanting you for his own, he’ll bury more than the fact he has a girlfriend; a buff college student for whom you are clearly hot, as are all the other girls on campus; a pushy lawyer who is as handsome as he is intoxicated with conquest, who doesn’t take no for an answer, who gets what he wants — always.

Sometimes, it’s whom you choose. Sometimes, it’s who chooses you. If you’re Kate, it’s both, and it puts you on a perilous road where good looks and humor are the thin masks of jealous delusion and utter violence.

You’re in trouble when the sum total of your choices is written in blood red.

I really had a hard time deciding whether or not to give Fallen For You four stars or five… but I was so speechless when I finished reading Fallen For You, I realized I had to give it all five stars. With that said the only reason there was ever a question in my mind about how many stars it deserved was because of the ending of this book. Without giving anything away, it was NOT a bad ending at all, just left me wanting so much more!

This book was amazing! I am not sure I can even find the right adjectives to use!

Kate is a college student who is trying to put her life back together after a tragic loss in her life that left her hanging on by a thread. Her and her girlfriend, Charlie, find a great apartment and are eager to start their lives on their own. But what Kate didn’t bargain for was the landlord, Roger.

Yes, Roger is good looking. He knows from phone conversations that his new tenant has to be beautiful and just what he has been waiting for. At first it seems endearing but then the girls move in… suddenly what was endearing is now strange. He always seems to be right there when Kate gets home from work or school. He is trying to win Kate over with his charm…

Then there’s Mark. Mark is the hottie on campus that every girl seems to want, which makes Kate want to stay away. He has enough girls swooning over him; surely he doesn’t need her too. But what Mark wants is exactly that.

Throw into the mix the amazingly hot lawyer, Neil. Neil is supposed to be Kate’s mentor at school, but when he fails to show up for their first meeting, Kate decides she can figure it out on her own. But Neil is persistent and charms his way into her life.

Three amazingly hot guys all going after one woman… whew… this doesn’t just spell trouble, this creates trouble.

I loved the characters in this book. Kate was a smart girl who was just struggling to move beyond her past. Charlie is the awesome supporting friend. Charlie’s boyfriend is the big brother that Kate always needed. Mark was the ladies man. Neil knew exactly what he wanted and wouldn’t stop the chase until he got it. Roger was the creepy landlord who knew what he wanted and was willing to do many things to get exactly what he wanted.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more and more. There was plenty of steam in this book and more than enough suspense for my heart.

When I finished this book my mouth was left gaping wide open searching for words. There were none. It took steamy and scary to a whole new level for me and I just didn’t want to stop reading it!

Carlie Sexton wrote fabulous characters and a gripping story that just left me in shock. I cannot wait for the next book in this series by her and now I know I will be sleeping with one eye open for a while!
