As a
hardworking, hard-partying firefighter, Hayden Walker values his career and his
freedom. But as the eldest son of a U.S. senator, he agreed long ago to follow
in his father’s footsteps and run for office, and that means settling down and
marrying the picture-perfect wife. Hayden just isn’t ready for that sort of
commitment . . . not with women like beautiful, curvy Saylor Dean—the naughty
bridesmaid he recognizes the morning after his buddy’s wedding—tempting Hayden
to stay single forever.
The
unwanted love child of a well-known politician, Saylor has always felt isolated
and alone, her only solace the animal shelter she runs in Forrestville. Then
she meets Hayden at her best friend’s wedding. During their impulsive and
unforgettable night together, Saylor feels desired like never before—only to
wake up and find that Hayden doesn’t remember his drunken proposal, or their
hasty marriage, or her.
But when the truth comes out, Saylor finds it’s a lot harder to fall out of
love than in love.

Review:
I'm pretty sure I've said this is my new favorite couple with each
of the Take the Fall books, but I completely and totally fell in love with
Saylor and Hayden in Hard to Fall,
and they are my absolute favorite couple in the series. Hard to Fall pretty much pulled every
single emotion from me. I laughed, cursed in anger, cried both happy and sad
tears, and sighed many times. I love a book filled with emotions, and
Ms.Valentine totally delivered with Hayden and Saylor's story.
I loved that Hayden and Saylor connected pretty much from the
moment they met at their friends' wedding. I loved they became such fast
friends, even as I hurt for Saylor when Hayden woke up with no memory of the
night before and anything that had happened. I have to say that I absolutely
laughed out loud when Saylor finally told Hayden not only had they hooked up
that faithful night, but they had also gotten married. Saylor and Hayden both
come from political families, though Saylor only recently finally met her
biological father, so while Hayden knows the score for the public, Saylor
has always stayed off the radar in the political world. I loved that Hayden
marrying Saylor gave him the perfect way out of politics and a way to stay with
his firefighting job that he loved.
While we only got a quick glimpse at both Saylor's mom and
Hayden's mom, I found myself loving both their characters so much. They
both just love and want to protect their kids and also only want them to be
happy. As much as I loved both moms, I have to say I had a hard time liking
Hayden's dad in the beginning and absolutely hated Saylor's dad from the moment
he appeared on her doorstep.
Hard to
Fall was a funny and emotional story and it gave me so many feels as
I read it. I absolutely fell in love with Hayden and Saylor as both individuals
and as a couple. I highly recommend the entire Take the Fall series to
anyone who enjoys reading contemporary romances. Ms. Valentine gives her
readers characters to fall in love with and stories they will want to read over
and over again.
