This is a spoiler-free review! Falling for Them is currently available for free on iBooks and Kindle.
I honestly did not know what to expect from this book -- the taboo age gap definitely peaked my interest, since I have not read too many books with that trope before, unless we are counting Credence by Penelope Douglas. If you did not have the chance to look at the name of the series like I did before I started reading, you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that this is a Cinderella-inspired erotic MFM romance. I have to say that it exceeded my expectations and had me so entertained that I nearly finished it in one sitting. It is a great taboo romance that just skims the surface of Ella, Kingston, and Sebastian’s story.
The author does a great job at developing the characters and their background as the story moves forward, and you find that you know a lot about each individual character before you see them start to really interact with one another. We see Ella, our female lead, start off in this rocky situationship that she thinks is much bigger than it actually is -- being involved with one of the company's higher ups, you can only imagine the difficulties it will bring. But when he breaks off their barely-there relationship, she falls into the lap of his father -- and his father's best friend.
We get POVs from everyone, which was absolutely fantastic. I loved getting into Ella's mind, but even more so with Kingston and Sebastian. It is not too often that we get male leads in romance novels that are given both in depth character develop and well-versed POVs that show how much they care for the female lead. Yes, there are 100% books out there that have it, but I would say that it is hard to come by in taboo romance, only because we are exposed to a ton of insta-love relationships that tend to skip development and go straight into the relationship.
There are definitely a lot of obstacles that Ella, Kingston, and Sebastian have to overcome in order to get to the point in their relationship where they feel comfortable around each other and are comfortable with the prospect of having multiple people in a relationship. Ella certainly struggles a lot as she tries to come to terms with how she exactly ended up in this kinkier-than-expected relationship, when Kingston's son could only screw her in a broom closet and leave her without any real pleasure.
The author definitely incorporates the main aspects of Cinderella's story into Falling for Them, and you can certainly try to guess what twists and turns that their story will take. The smut scenes are really well done and the plot moves at a pace that leaves you turning the page until you are at the very end. I would definitely recommend this to fans of modern retellings with just enough spice for a quick read that will leave you wanting more.
