Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows
all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them in her
twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in
heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the
intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite
well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot
blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave that
mistake behind her.
Football scholarship and frat parties with hot
chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that kills any hope of a
professional football career? So not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains
to go with his knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of
balancing law school with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to
lead a more mature life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in
the office of that crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped
thinking about.
If Ben truly were a smart guy, he’d stay clear of
Reese. She’s the boss’s stepdaughter and it’s been made very clear that office
romances are grounds for dismissal. Plus, rumor has it she’s trouble. The only
problem is, he likes trouble, especially when it’s so good-looking…
My take...
From what we all remember of Ben, was there any
doubt his book would be fun, flirty and wild? Absolutely not. This guy is
hilarious and sexy all rolled into one magnificent package. How can you not
love him? Sure he can be a bit obnoxious and manwhore’ish at times (ok, all the
time), but I have loved him from the start. And I for one am glad that he is
looking to settle down, even without knowing it himself.
Reese is a firecracker and you can be sure
trouble isn't far behind. Even now, she is trying her best to walk the straight
and narrow. But you guessed it...not long after returning home from her vaca
gone horribly wrong, Reese learns that what happens in Cancun doesn’t'
necessarily follow the same rules as Vegas and stays there. Oh no. Trouble
found her and she is falling prey to its charm.
I loved the whole storyline. They have this god
awful hook up in Cancun, only to turn around and have to work together not long
after. I loved these characters. Reese is this unattainable wild horse that can
no longer be tamed. And Ben, the womanizing manwhore, has a past that has kept
him from settling down. But together they become something entertaining and
awesome. A power couple of sorts! And last but most definitely not least, I was
smitten with the romance. Their romance built and built and built until us
readers were about to explode, right along with them.
I have absolutely loved every minute of this
series. And FIVE WAYS TO FALL was one of my favorites out of the series. Of
course, TEN TINY BREATHS will always be my most favorite. But FIVE WAYS TO FALL
definitely came in second. The storyline, the characters, the building
romance...ahhh! Loved it all. Tucker is one of those authors that no matter
what she writes, I will be there to read it. 5 Kick Arse Stars!
