Ryunosuke was never hotter than the episode where he told off Ryo and I stand by that 😤😤

Un romance MM di Andie Burke costruito sulla convivenza forzata tra due vicini in conflitto, tra un pavimento sfondato, un cane tenuto di nascosto, i debiti da ripagare e l'attrazione che cresce dentro un appartamento troppo piccolo per ignorarla.

“I love that English uses the word falling to describe the initial rush of love, capturing the stomach-sinking danger of opening your heart over a chasm of what if. It feels like the greatest impossibility that anyone could love all those deep-inside, messy, jagged bits we try to hide from even ourselves. But after all, it’s the impact with the ground that hurts, not the fall, so I guess that’s why the best partners are the ones who cushion us as we … as we …”

Author's note from Fall for Him (2024) by Andie Burke

[inawickedlittletown]

Just started reading Fall For Him by Andie Burke and my one complaint ten pages in, is that the two main characters have names that start with the same letter and their names are the same length.

From one page to the next I'm like, "wait, which one fell through the roof and which one owns the apartment"

Anyway, so far the setup for this cute m/m romcom has me seated but the name thing is probably going to drive me crazy for a little while longer

"Amy actually snorted. “I think I should keep Dylan,” she said in an offhand drawl as if she was an Italian mob boss considering murdering all the members of a feuding family in order to steal a single talented lieutenant. She turned to Dylan and patted his hand, keeping her face deadpan. “I’ll do all your taxes. Don’t worry. I take care of my own. You’ll be in very safe financial hands.” Seo-Joon gave his wife a highly affronted look. “Ames, stop trying to be a crime boss.” “Drat,” she said. “Foiled again.”

Book Blurb:

In Fall for Him by Andie Burke, seven-hundred-fifty square feet isn’t enough for the home-renovation-fueled hatred and the building sexual tension.

Dylan Gallagher’s hot neighbor loathed him from the second he moved in, and causing a flood, falling through the floor, and landing directly onto that same neighbor’s bed probably means that’s unlikely to change. The poorly timed “It’s Raining Men” joke didn’t help.

Meanwhile, ER nurse Derek Chang’s life is a literal when-rains-it-pours nightmare. A man he hates dropped into his life along with an astronomically expensive problem originating from Derek’s own apartment’s plumbing. Also, the local HOA tyrant has been sniffing around trying to fine him for his extended, illicit banned breed dog-sitting.

Since Dylan also wants to keep the catastrophe quiet, he offers to fix the damage himself. Dylan’s sure he’s not Derek’s type, so he focuses all his ADHD hyper fixation energy on getting the repair job done as quickly as possible—avoiding doing anything stupid like acting on his very inconvenient crush. Meanwhile Derek tries to ignore that the tattooed nerd sleeping on the couch is surprisingly witty, smart, and kind, despite the long-term grudge Derek’s been holding against him. But will squeezing all their emotional baggage plus a dog into a tiny one-bedroom apartment be a major disaster…or just prove they’re made for each other?

Fall for Him combines banter, hijinks, and heart in a story of finding out what it means to fix things after your life crumbles.

Review:

What happens when it literally starts raining men... and by that I mean a cute guy floods his apartment and lands right in yours. Dylan Gallagher is a cute nerd who has never really gotten along with his hot neighbor, ER nurse Derek Chang. From the moment Dylan moved in Derek has hated him and Dylan has no idea what he did wrong. What Dylan doesn't know is that Derek knows him before he had moved in, specifically because Dylan had dated the Derek's best friend's brother... the same guy Derek has nursed a long time crush on and slept with multiple times yet by going out with Dylan said guy was hurt and then when he passed away Derek's hatred for Dylan solidified. Yet here when Dylan lands smack dab in the middle of Derek's apartment, flooding it... they have to come up with a solution and that means Dylan will repair Derek's apartment while Derek moves in with Dylan. And so begins a tension filled roommate situation where there feelings for one another only grow stronger... but the longer Derek hides his past from Dylan the more it'll ruin the blooming relationship between them. This one just felt like a disappointment for me, the premise was really cute but the actual characters just weren't for me. I didn't like the pacing of the story and the actual conclusion for the mess between them just felt meh. I really liked how the story had a lot of rep in it and how it handled grief, but the actual romance just didn't feel there for me at all. I do appreciate getting to read a story with unique rep but I would just say this one missed the mark for me.

Fall For Him by Andie Burke: Full of Heart

What I love about Fall for Him by Andie Burke is that it is full of heart, romance, friendship, family, and accepting one’s self, flaws and all.
