Release Date: March 15th 2024 
Genre: Contemporary Romance 

A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss...

Abel

I've eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It's not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It's because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let's Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can't admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn't want, she pretends we're together, and lays a kiss on me that I'll never forget.

Kara

I've spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I've done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move. 

Now? He's hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he's the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again. 

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . ABEL (Broken Falls, #2) . . . Abel is up and things are not so simple. The woman he has been flirty with for over a year has made her move. This Halloween was filled with sparks that he can not forget or move forward on. Kara places the ball in his court. What will he do with it?

Kara was by simple standards a newbie to the small town of Broken Falls. She came to town with a hope, wish, and a prayer. She had no true family support, but she had something just as strong. A best friend, Alexis. She worked hard to make her dreams and her future come true. She was also attracted to Abel. For a year the two of them exchanged flirtations. She was no longer willing to wait. She makes her move and places any further progress in Abel's hands. 

Abel was a simple man on the outside. He loved his friends and his family. He had a great relationship with his father. He had a so-so relationship with his mother until something changed all that. Life has a way of making things happen. Sometimes we are not equipped to handle it. Sometimes we have extra support in our corner. 

Abel and Kara were on a path forward. They have found their stride. She has become a big part of his life and his family. Kara has found what she was missing. All of it with the one man before. She has found love, life, acceptance, and family. Up next Jasper. I want to know how he made that step with someone that wished him harm. May 2024 is not coming fast enough.
