Fall with Me: Volume 4 (Playing for Keeps) : Mack, Becka: desertcart.in: Books Review: Banter and Chaos - I have been a fan of Becka Mack since book one from this series and it’s because of how she carves her characters in such a delicate and raw fashion. Both Jaxon and Lenon have been hurt in the past, they don’t want to get hurt again. From a one night stand to becoming roommate, there is constant banter. They book kept each other on their toes but also grounded each other. The entire friend circle? The kids and babies? They all felt like hugs and cuddles. This book was sweet and spicy at the same time. Jaxon is in the truest sense the onion boy and I loved how Lennon just stood by his side. I feel, even though it was casual at first, the day they felt with the feelings was childish and mature at the same time. My heart broke for Jaxon but he found his ray of sunshine and chaos. Review: Loved this book so much - It was a beautiful book. I went in for a romance story but got so much more, the warmth of found family, love that feels like home, emotional growth of characters, and some laugh-out-loud moments. I loved both Lennon and Jaxon. They were amazing. I was so happy to see how Lennon found people who love and most importantly herself, her care and patience towards Jaxon were so beautiful to read. She was there for him just like he found a family in her. I really hated how Ryne treated her, she didn't deserve that and I was happy he was shown his place, he was unbearable(called her immature for reading romance books and having a false image about how relationships work, I mean the audacity?) Jaxon, I love him. Walking green flag. His internal monologue was heartfelt, the self-doubt he went through was relatable and I really resonated with him. He was empathetic, caring, a little bit chaotic, selfless and loved wholeheartedly but silently. Cared for her during her menses, learned her allergies and threw peanuts from home, put fresh pink tulips every week in a vase when he got to know her they were her favourite, planned a starry night for her birthday, everything was so wholesome to read about him. Also, he's a cat dad so that makes me even more charming. Their chemistry and banter were good but most importantly they found comfort in each other, and the love that they always deserved. The group chats were really funny, I loved seeing them all together. That's what I especially love about series, the chaos, humorous and heartwarming moments when all the leads of the series interact feel like a warm hug. I'm so excited for the next book now, I can't wait.

Loved this book so much
It was a beautiful book. I went in for a romance story but got so much more, the warmth of found family, love that feels like home, emotional growth of characters, and some laugh-out-loud moments.

Let’s do this…
So when I started this book, I was very excited because I had been waiting for it since I finished unravel me, So as I started reading the beginning chapters. I loved it, then when I was around like 20% or something. I was not vibing with the book, but then as it proceeded at after 50%, I fell in love with the book with the characters and everything else. Jaxon Riley, the man he is, omggg, I freaking love him so much, I giggled and cried cause of him cause he was a broken soul in a golden retriever’s body. And omgg the way he loved Lennon is no joke. Lennon Hayes, she is my best comeback queen, the way she got back up and started doing stuff for herself was just amazing. And how she understood Jaxon and loved him was just heartwarming. All in all enjoyed the book, and loved the theatrics of my favourite characters and can’t wait for the next book!

Dieses Buch ist absolut toll. Ich habe die ersten drei Bände auf deutsch gelesen und konnte dann den nächten nicht abwarten, weshalb ich mich zum ersten Mal an ein Englisches Buch getraut habe. Zum Einstieg fand ich es wirklich gut machbar und verständlich. Die Geschichte ist wie man es von becka Mack erwartet super lustig und mitreißend. Ich habe gelacht, geweint und mitgefühlt. Selten so ein gutes Buch gelesen!

This book made me laugh, cry, swoon, and oh my goodness—the freaking SPICE was perfection! Becka Mack gave us a story that had all the banter, all the feels, and all the heat rolled into one unforgettable romance. They met in the most unlikely of places, and what was supposed to be a one-night stand quickly turned into the most unexpected journey: surprised coworkers, then roommates, only to realize that they were each other’s soulmates all along. The build-up of their relationship was chef’s kiss--funny, tender, DELICIOUSLY SEXY, and absolutely addictive. What made their story so powerful was how much they healed each other. Jaxon carried a lifetime of pain, never feeling like he was enough. Lennon, on the other hand, had lost herself in a long, draining relationship and never realized how much of life and love she’d missed out on. Together, they learned to let go of the weight of the past and step fully into a love that was passionate, freeing, and forever. And then there’s that line from Jaxon that wrecked me in the best way: “You’re not my line, Lennon. You, honey? You’re my after.” That single moment sums up why this story is so unforgettable! It’s funny, fiery, emotional, and achingly beautiful. Also, Jaxon singing to Mittens is possibly one of my favorite things EVER!
G**!
Omg. I just love Becka. She is an amazing writer, I'm so glad I found her, these books are perfect. I'm so hopping in the future she'll make one with all of them pov because I'm already missing them. Just read the hole serie.
