Goodreads Summary:

They meet on a beach. . . . Abby Davis isn’t wearing a skimpy bikini or sipping umbrella drinks, not when she’s busy chasing around four little ones. And Matt McKinney isn’t looking for fun—he’s a Navy SEAL, a grown man with a long list of missions . . . and fallen brothers.

They only have a week. . . . Abby has brought her children to this beach to start over, to give them the enjoyable memories they deserve. Matt’s been sidelined by a combat injury, and haunted by the best friend he lost and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL—focused and dedicated. This leaves no time for what he’s always wanted: a family.

But a week is all it takes. . . . Matt opens her heart while Abby soothes his soul. And though they plan to say good-bye when the week is over, something magical happens on that beach, something neither can forget. Something utterly, completely worth falling for.

Jessica's Review:

I really liked the way this book started out. The characters drew me in and the scenes were realistic enough to keep me entertained and wondering what would happen next. But then I got halfway through and it just fell flat. It didn't give you an idea of how much time had passed which would have helped in some areas, and just when the tension was getting good, it ended. I just felt the author could have done a lot more with the story in the second half of the book.

Rating: 3.5/5 Stars

Thanks to the publisher for a copy of the novel for review!

BOOK & AUTHOR INFO:

Worth the Fall by Caitie Quinn 

(Brew Ha Ha #2) 

Publication date: Fall 2014

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis:

Kasey Lane is having a bad week.

Understatement.

Her idea of success never involved losing her job, man, and apartment in 24-hours. Now, with nowhere to go and no way to pay for it anyway, Kasey decides it’s time for a fresh start, which means a new apartment, a new career, and…no men.

But as a magnet for ridiculousness and absurd brushes with the law, her start goes from fresh to stale in record time. It doesn’t help that Mr. Wrong keeps showing up during her adventures gone awry and taking over. Now, as Kasey plans her way to independence she has to decide if the only path to success is going it alone…or if maybe a partner in crime can make the journey sweeter.

Caitie Quinn is the Rom Com Writin' name of YA Golden Heart writer, Bria Quinlan.

Caitie writes stuff. Stuff that's funny -- hopefully.

She's a lover of the Romantic Comedy and manages to always bring light-hearted romance and shenanigans to her stories. They may be set in a city that looks remarkably like Boston. But don't quote her on that.

If it's not funny, you can totally blame the weather, or her lack of chocolate, or the formatting, or her cat. Wait, she doesn't have a cat. Scratch that last one.
