Falling by Christina Lauren @christinalauren @christinalauren.bsky.social @marliwatsonvo @boultybits @amazonpublishing @brilliancepublishing #ScaredSexyCollection #Falling

the setup…
Cat goes to a Halloween party with her loser boyfriend Jake who quickly leaves her own once they arrive. A strangely alluring man notices her and compels Cat to come to him but she barely gives him a glance. See, Brigan is a fallen immortal who has been around for nine centuries and this is the first time his power of allure hasn’t worked on a human. But strangely, she can hear his voice. Both are curious about what’s going on and deeply attracted to each other.

the heart of the story…
When Cat and Brigan engage, their banter is fun, witty and sexy. Both feel an elusive attraction to each other beyond the physical, though that was inevitable. The cursed immortal has never felt this way since the death of his humanity.

the narration…
Marli Watson’s silk and sexy tone combined with Nicholas Broughton’s low and vibrating voice captivated me from the first page! This story is best served up on audio because this team nailed it.

the bottom line…
I had a good time with this one as both characters were nicely developed, especially for a short story and the witty dialogue kept me guessing. The ending has a very nice payoff. Scared sexy indeed!
