Fake it ‘til you make it has been the motto I live by since my mother died.
I’m also doing a really bad job at the making it part.
The night we met, I was at my lowest.
But you gave me a reason to feel happy again.
For the first time in over a year, I feel optimistic.
You and I? We’re the same.
Don’t form attachments. Follow the rules. Don’t dream of a future.
Too bad our hearts wouldn’t listen.
And this storm we’re going through?
The one that threatens to rip us apart?
It doesn’t care that I’m falling for you.
Falling For You is a different kind of brother’s best friend romance and is as emotional
as it is sizzling.

Falling For You was my first read from Jennifer Van Wyk, and quickly drew me in with these quirky characters. Chloe was having one of the crappiest days when she met Rex and he swooped in like a true book boyfriend and cheered her up. From there their romance progressed pretty fast, yet didn't lack any excitement. 

For the most part I enjoyed getting to see them come together and I liked how funny they could be. Rex showed his protective side on more than one occasion, but he also knew when to just sit back and let Chloe figure some things out on her own. It really showed the trust they had in each other and that they honestly worked very well as a couple.

With that being said, I did have some issues with the story. One being Rex's sense of humor that could read more like a 15 year old boys rather than a grown man's. I'm not a giant prude when it comes silly humor, but at times with Rex, and even a few moments with Chloe, it all got to be a little much and felt like I was reading about kids. Also about Rex, I didn't fully understand the point of his drama that was involved in the story. It felt like such an afterthought that I wasn't sure why it was featured to begin with. It didn't make me hate the book, but it did have me questioning why it was there and if I was missing what the point was.

There were also parts to the story that got a little confusing. Sometimes there would be dialogue that started off with a main character talking, with no hint on who the character was talking to. Especially at chapter beginnings where it would take almost a full page to finally learn who was speaking the second part of the dialogue. I'm not sure if this was for a suspense type of thing, or if it was meant to be clear and just wasn't very obvious to me, but either way I found it to be confusing and it had me reading some parts more than once. 

Overall, the book wasn't a complete winner for me but it was good and I enjoyed these characters. I didn't have a problem reading this book before the previous one but it does have me wanting to go back and read it. I'm also looking forward to what's next in this series and the little hints of the next character definitely have me wanting to get my hands on it.
