Daring to Fall

When it comes to heartache, T. J. Kline is synonymous with delivering the goods. Ms. Kline writes literature that stimulates the mind and breaks the heart, both qualities will have a reader sit up and take notice. Daring to Fall adds mystery to an already full emotional plate. Ben and Emma are a compelling combination but with so much going on it's sometimes hard to keep the story line straight.

This is the second book in the series. I like this series, but I didn't like this one as much as the first book. It doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy it. I liked Ben and Emma. Ben is a hunky fireman. I felt for Emma. She's trying to prove herself, but it feels like that she has no one in her corner. Ben is thrown off his game when it comes to Emma. The more he gets know Emma he sees the true her not the preconceived notion of the small town. There is someone causing trouble for Emma can they figure it our before it's too late? I loved the animal sanctuary. I'm a big animal lover so it's one of my favorite parts of the book.

Ben is a good match for Emma. As a firefighter he’s going to understand about her having a dangerous job but that with proper training and care things will be as safe as they can be. He’s also got a big heart which goes well with her own. Up to this point his romantic life has always been about being the big, strong hero so of course he falls really hard for someone who can take care of herself! Now he just needs to learn that he can be supportive without sweeping in on his white horse to rescue her. Emma’s world is already a mess when Ben comes storming in with his rescued bobcat kitten. He’s definitely a distraction she doesn’t need, and her past has taught her that men can’t handle a strong woman whose whole life is centered around wild animals that could seriously hurt her. Not used to leaning on anyone, it’s hard for Emma to let Ben in to help. Too bad that the man is too stubborn to just go away. Kline doesn’t really do much to hide the who and what behind the trouble that Emma experiences. After a bit it becomes obvious who the choices are for the culprit but the how of carrying out the plan does keep you guessing. And really it’s mostly about the romance :) *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s. ***
