“Claire Contreras delivers ALL the feels in this charming, witty and sexy enemies-to-lovers romance, and it will own your heart from cover to cover.” - Mary, Frolic Media
The Consequence of Falling, a contemporary romance by New York Times Bestselling Author Claire Contreras is Live!
The list of things I hate is short. Not even my soon-to-be ex-husband is on that list. Nope. I save only the worst of the worst, the crème de la crème, the absolute I cannot even for this list . . .
1. Black coffee
2. Rude people
3. Nathaniel Bradley
Which is why when my father informs me that he’s making Nathaniel Bradley his new business partner, and in turn, my boss, I flip out.
1. He’s an annoying know-it-all.
2. He calls me a spoiled princess every chance he gets.
3. He disapproves of everything I do.
I go into this knowing I’ll hate every second in his presence. Except the longer he’s around, the more I find myself staring at his lips and remembering the one time they were on mine. I randomly find myself looking at his hands and wondering how they’d feel on my skin.
I try to snap out of it, but I guess I’m not as smart as I thought I was. No matter how many times I remind myself of the times I’ve practically thrown myself at him and he’s pushed me away, I keep falling little by little.
I’d always heard that it was a bad idea to mix business with pleasure and if that’s the case, this thing with Nathaniel has demise written all over it.

My Review:
The Consequence of Falling is a sweet, sexy, angsty, steamy and jam-packed emotional story. Presley and Nathaniel met when she is in high school and he is in college. They had this chemistry but back then, she chased after him and he blew her off and treated her pretty badly. As they get older, things between them don't get much better, sad to say. When Presley’s father announced that Nathaniel going to be his new business parter, which meant Presley is going to be working essentially for him, she blows a gasket. Why would her father make him- who isn't a blood relative his partner and not her??? Her life is going down in flames before her eyes and this is so not what she needs added to her troubles right now. For most of her life Presley did what was expected of her by her father. She attended college and married who she thought was the proper/perfect man - the safe choice, the proper choice but not the right man in her heart. Now after an unhealthy, unhappy, failed marriage, she's left to pick up the broken pieces. She feels like her life is falling all apart, and she's tired of plastering on this fake smile for everyone and acting like everything is a' ok, when it's completely NOT. She's finally ready to live her life for Her not for anyone else. Most of this story is told from Presley's POV, as we see her work thru the pain of her broken marriage/divorce, trying to prove to her father she can be successful in his business, help the business be successful and deal with the unwelcome feelings she has whenever she's around Nathaniel. I loved the intense push and pull that's between Presley and Nathaniel. Nathaniel is this sexy, handsome and intelligent man who has always wanted Presley but he pushed her away because the time wasn't right. Theirs was a push/pull relationship. You could feel how bad he wanted her even when he made snarky comments or hurt her feelings.
These two are just pure magic together, but it is obvious that their path to true love will not be easy for them and will be pretty rocky. This story had my emotions all over the place- like rollercoaster emotion ride!! I laughed, I cried and I swooned! It’s a beautiful, emotional journey that tissues are needed.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
