BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: FALL FOR ME BY JC EMERY
RELEASE DATE: April 30
SYNOPSIS:
Melanie Kincaid is a trust-fund baby with a knack for sassy
comebacks and unnecessarily complicating her privileged life. So, of course she
would have to fall in love with a man she can't have.
Jameson Hayes is a NYC firefighter for Manhattan’s oldest
ladder company with big shoes to fill and a city to protect. He’s strong, sexy,
and not looking for the complications Melanie brings. But he can't stay away
from her either. The attraction between them is immediate and the pull between
them is crazy powerful. But she's only home for the summer and long-distance
relationships never work.
Unfortunately, Melanie’s beauty and smart mouth are a lethal
combination and Jameson isn't the only Hayes who's interested. As if his
brother isn't enough to compete with, now the city's most famous arsonist wants
to claim her as his next prize. Jameson can't stand to watch Melanie get hurt
and she can't seem to keep herself out of trouble.
Fall for Me is the first Ladder Company novel, a stand-alone
companion series about New York's most elite firefighting family with hot alpha
heroes, snarky heroines, and an arsonist hell-bent on destruction.
About the author:
As a child, JC was fascinated by things that went bump in
the night. As they say, some things never change. Now, as an adult, she divides
her time between the sexy law men, mythical creatures, and kick-ass heroines
that live inside her head and pursuing her bachelor's degree in English. JC is
a San Francisco Bay Area native, but has also called both Texas and Louisiana
home. These days she rocks her flip flops year round in Northern California and
can't imagine a climate more beautiful.
JC writes adult, new adult, and young adult fiction. She dabbles in many different genres including science fiction, horror, chick lit, and murder mysteries, yet she is most enthralled by supernatural stories-- and everything has at least a splash of romance.

EXCERPTS:
I let my imagination run wild with thoughts of me, panting
and unfolding with every moment he touches me. Large hands—check. Long
legs—check. I’d like to say I’m never like this, but that’s a lie. I still have
a few celeb crushes that turn me into a panting hoe. But this guy isn’t a celeb
crush. He’s a real person so that kind of makes this a bit unprecedented.
“Run a marathon, did ya?” he asks. He’s got to be around six
feet tall and he’s got these sexy gray-blue eyes with light brown hair and a
complexion that’s almost a light peach color.
“No,” I stutter. Why he would think I’d been running a
marathon, God only knows. I place a hand to the base of my neck only to find
that I’m perspiring. Shit. I really need to get myself under control. It’s been
a while since I’ve been with anyone and it’s showing. I’ve always been that
woman who sees what she likes and goes for it. Not that such tactics have
worked out well for me in the past.
“Why?” I try to cover up the mess I’m making of myself. I
just… like him. I like the way he’s standing here in the doorway and the way he’s
studying me. His eyes linger as he drags them up my body, spending more time
than appropriate on my breasts that peek out the top of my dark red dress, and
finally rest on my face. I just hope my makeup isn’t fucked up. I made sure
that both my dress and the makeup met with my mom’s approval before we arrived.
Classy not trashy, that’s the motto. These things matter to her so, by
extension, they matter to me even if I don’t want them to.
He opens his mouth to respond but clamps it shut almost
immediately. There’s a silence for a long moment before he rubs the back of his
neck and looks back at the landing behind him. A smile forms that overtakes his
entire, gorgeously chiseled face. He can’t be too much older than me though
he’s definitely more mature than the guys I go to school with. His features
have lost that youthful boyish look that’s common to those in their early
twenties but they have yet to acquire any gray from what I can tell and he
doesn’t look seasoned just yet. He’s practically perfect in every way I can
see. Oh, screw practically. All I can see is perfection which means he must be
a serial killer or he collects parakeets or has some kind of strange fetish
with corn because perfect never means perfect. It means I’m in trouble because
this guy is going to crush me. Hopefully naked as I come apart around him.
