About this ebook

A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss...

Abel

I've eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It's not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It's because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let's Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can't admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn't want, she pretends we're together, and lays a kiss on me that I'll never forget.

Kara

I've spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I've done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move.

Now? He's hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he's the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again.

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

Ratings and reviews

Abel met all expectations and surpassed them. I knew he was sweet. I knew he had to be a great man because Boone raised him, but there was so much more under that shy exterior that was both intriguing and melting. Kara was a lucky woman nabbing him, and props for her making the move to catapult them into HEA territory. I also love how independent and loving she is towards Abel. This blue collar series is becoming a fast favorite and I can't wait to see what's in store in book 3.

Swoon! We are back in the Broken Falls series and this time it’s Abel’s story. Abel is all grown up and it takes a strong womanlike Kara to make him fall hard! They are both independent, hard working and when Kara takes the next step to get their romance moving, he is enthralled. What happens next was a cute and steamy romance story that did not disappoint. I love the characters bother main and secondary and the small town feels that brings life to the storyline. I can’t wait for more.
