I got a lot of reading done over December whilst on holidays and am now finally catching up on reviews! Fall for Me by Heather Slade was one such book that I read.
Olivia Fairchild loves her daughter, live music by the band CB Rice as well as horses. As a single mother with a young adult daughter, she is amazed to find that she catches the eye of the lead singer of her favourite band. Liv finds her defenses going up. Why would a talented guitarist and singer with throngs of fans as well as ridiculous good looks be interested in her?
As Ben Rice pursues the single mother, Olivia fights between a desire of allowing herself to fall for the ‘hot guitarist’ and living a life for herself. As a nineteen year old, she forfeited her dream to be a competitive barrel racer. This was to be beside the man she loved as he worked as an F15 pilot. In time he lost his life when his plane was shot down. But this was not before Olivia fell pregnant with their child.
Suddenly the dreams of a nineteen year old fell by the way side. Instead, she took on the incredible task of raising a daughter – alone. Fast forward twenty odd years and Liv is at a crossroads of what to do.
Fall for Me by Heather Slade
Fall for Me has a great mixture of music, horses and also romance. Horses don’t feature highly at the start of the novel. However, this builds as Olivia works to do something for herself. As she breaks back into the barrel racing world, she finds that the two things she loves – Ben and barrel racing – aren’t conducive to each other. It seems she could pursue her dream as a barrel racer or follow Ben around as he tours with his increasingly popular band. The choice isn’t an easy one to make.
