About this listen
An NFL player with a secret past, and the one woman with the power to turn his world inside out....
Former actress Emma Rothschild is partying in Vegas in disguise. But I'm not fooled. Five years ago, I knew that body better than my own, and I haven't forgotten a single detail.
When Emma's unexpectedly left alone in Sin City, I agree to spend the weekend with her. As friends. Why not? If I can knock down the toughest guys in the NFL, I'm strong enough to keep my hands to myself, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever met.
Emma is part of my past - years so shrouded in secrets that not even my best friends know the truth about who I am. I'm a single dad now and not interested in revisiting my old ways or trying to win back the only woman I ever let close enough to break my heart.
Falling Hard is a sexy and emotional novel intended for mature listeners. It's the fourth book in the world of the Blackhawk Boys, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
Football. Secrets. Lies. Passion. These boys don't play fair. Which Blackhawk Boy will steal your heart?

Story
The first time I saw Brinley Knox, she was crying, draped in a ridiculous pink tulle dress for her sweet 16, and cursing the boy who’d broken her heart. I was the hired help, a teenage charity case. She was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Orchid Valley. I knew a girl like Brinley was off-limits. That didn’t stop me from kissing her. Or from promising that if she were ever mine, I’d never let her go.

Story
The last thing I remember is having drinks at Brady's and trying to avoid eye-contact with my life-long crush - the gorgeous, unattainable Maximilian Hallowell. They tell me that was a year ago, but I have no memories of anything since then. What I do have is this ring on my finger that Max says he gave me, and this much-thinner body I've dreamed of most of my life. Aside from a case of retrograde amnesia, everything seems almost... perfect.

It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the second I got up, things started to fall apart. The kitchen just caught on fire. Flowers were from a funeral. My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends. What I knew about Archie: He was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger. When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Story
What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

I was happy to dive into this one immediately after finishing book 3. The suspense element was a nice addition to this sports romance. It was a quick and entertaining read!

Unexpectedly intense.
FALLING HARD is book 4 of a series, but a standalone. It’s the first I’ve read by Lexi Ryan, and it didn’t matter that I read it out of order. There were no spoilers about the other books in the series.
This novel is well written and I found myself hooked by the story-line. I was particularly impressed with how the author seamlessly weaved her story back and forth from the present to the past and back again, revealing events of the past that affected the present. It was a clever device for producing a story that was SHOW not TELL. And I liked that the past was not too long ago – five years.
I was lulled into a pleasant romance about very likeable protagonists who loved each other once and had a second-chance at happiness – and so it took many chapters for me to comprehend that the novel included story-lines I like to avoid in romances – insidious, evil people manipulating the hero and heroine’s lives. It was uncomfortable and intense reading at times. However, the writer chose impeccable timing to introduce dark themes (right when I was too invested to stop reading), and she did it in a way that was not “in your face,” so to speak, therefore more palatable, enabling me to finish her novel. And I’m glad I did, because ultimately, it’s very satisfying when a hero and heroine I love and care about defeat the demons of their pasts (and present) and come out on top, completely secure in their love for each other. That happened here, leaving me smiling.
Although I was impressed by the author and riveted by this story, I prefer more upbeat adult themes. I hope Lexi Ryan has written some, because she’s a good find.
The narrators, Summer Roberts and Tyler Donne, also both new to me, did a great job creating a pleasurable listening experience.

Great romantic series
These storylines, in the Blackhawk Boys series, have depth and humbling storylines. The romances are built on the couples sharing past and troubling incidents in their lives. Definitely worth listening too/reading.

Drug out chapters
This story could have ended several chapters before it did. I guess the author just had to keep adding repetitive words and inner monologue to add chapters. I will not read another book by this author. The storyline was good, but I cannot stand drama that just drags on for chapters for no reason.

Pretty good
Good story line outside the romance. Interesting characters. Good dialogue. Some hot scenes. It does drag on a bit, though. Great voice acting.
