Falling into You: A Falling Stars Standalone Romance

Q: 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁. Falling into You, the third book in the Fallen Stars series, is beautifully written, emotionally wrenching, and epically entertaining. A stunning dual POV second chance at love, rock star romance that had me on the edge of my seat and swiping page after page until nearly 3 am to finish A.L. Jackson’s latest story.

I discovered A.L Jackson when the only book she had available was A Stone in the Sea and checked daily for the conclusion to a duet that I didn’t know would hold my heart literally years later. And to this day, I’d say that of all the authors I have the pleasure of reading for, A.L. Jackson is one of my very favorites. She consistently pens five star stories with characters that have you falling helplessly in love with and plots that are always new and original. Falling into You is the third book in the Fallen Stars series was one of my most anticipated reads for September and I’m still stunned by Richard and Violet’s love story.

Although both Kiss the Stars and Catch Me When I Fall were worth more then the measly five-stars I could review them with, Falling into You was absolutely the best in the series so far. The emotional connection between Richard and Violet was beautifully develop and moving—and literally what each and every romance reader aspires to find IRL. The unveiling of the past that went into this romance added an edge of suspense. And while the secrets kept left me literally stunned, I also found a lightness in the story that I desperately needed while Jackson held my heart in the palm of her hands… Dramatic? Probably, but no less true! 😉 Q: "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣.” ... “𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙡𝙮𝙧𝙞𝙘. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙛. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙢. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙤. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩.” Richard Ramsey built his life of a bed of lies, regret and guilt. His constant companions are anger, pain, and vengefulness and he’s unquestionably determined to put to rights the past by whatever means necessary. He’s broody, delicious and heartbroken, damaged by past mistakes and determined to protect those he loves—including the girl he left behind six years ago. When he returns to his hometown, Dalton in South Carolina, he’s got every intention of staying away from the woman who owns his heart, but a chance encounter will set his world to spinning once again. But have no doubts, he’s the book boyfriend you’ve been waiting for!!! Q: “𝙍𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙. 𝙈𝙮 𝙝𝙪𝙨𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙙. 𝙈𝙮 𝙨𝙪𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩.” … “𝙈𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚.

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩.” It may have been six years since Violet’s entire world was turned on its axis leaving her a beautifully broken, bitter, angry single mother whose spent years putting herself back together piece by piece. She’s unwilling to trust again and when the man who molded her into the woman we meet comes back looking for redemption and forgiveness, she’s equally determined to maintain her distance and the walls around her heart. Yet, the chemistry and love is still tangible between Richard and Violet. And all to soon their equally powerless to fight the fates that are determined to reunite the pair.

While some of the darker aspects might make this read hard for some, it’s tampered with a light hearted little girl that had me smiling and laughing out loud (Daisy), the outspoken best friend/s (Mel and Rhys) and was the quintessential modern day fairy tale. Falling into you is well written, with amazing characters and exceptional character progression and a plot that left me literally stunned. Although I have read nearly every book in A.L. Jackson’s catalog. I was not prepared for the powerfully moving story that served up a deep-seated intensity, passion and steam second to none, angst, suspense and the ultimate HEA! I’d give Falling into You far more then five stars if the options were available. Q: 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝘆. 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Richard and Violet's story was everything. AL Jackson writes with so much heart and emotions that as a reader I am gripped by the story. I couldn't wait to see how it all played out. There was so much more to the story then was on the surface and peeling the layers back was fascinating. I also loved seeing the rest of Carolina George. They are family and seeing their dynamic was awesome. I couldn't read fast enough but I also didn't want to finish- I was loving it! Overall, Falling into You was an amazing read. I am very excited for Rhys' book next! I know it will be just like him-fun and also full of heart.

“ Im falling, Richard . Falling apart.” His head shook against mine, and he just held me tighter. “ It’s ok . You can fall. I’ll be right here to catch you.” ------------------------------------------------------------ 📚Book: Falling into You by A.L Jackson ✨Raiting : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ------------------------------------------------------------ Let me star by saying that this book deserves 100 stars ,seriously my heart its so full right now this story swept me off my feet and made me fly through the pages and I still can’t find the right words to describe how much this story meant to me. A second chance romance thats its truly beautiful. This book it’s perfect , just like everything AL Jackson writes , this book its the second of hers that its my ultimate favorite (catch me when i fall too ) , hands down a masterpiece. It rip my heart out of my chest. I loved everything about this book. Richard and Violet are so beautiful together. When you meet Richard in previous book i never imagine where his story will take us , or how broken he was , truly broke my heart. Him and Violet put each other back together in just a beautiful way . The chemistry between them is palpable and so romantic. This book it’s everything you want in a romance, second chances ,a once in a lifetime love story that’s going to make you remember the reason you fell in love with romance books in the first place , it just gives you all the feels . This book was so perfect I didn’t want it to end . When AL Jackson said that this was one of her best books she wasn’t exaggerating or lying this truly its one of her best works yet. She never disappoints with her writing , no one writes rockstars better than her . I can’t recommend you this book enough because words can’t describe the amount of perfection this story was.

It keeps you hooked. It has action and love with a rock star. Its a must read . its sad what the family went through.

I absolutely loved this book. This story is a second chance romance and is interconnected with Falling Stars series. I loved the characters, Richard Ramsey and Violet Marin. Richard is a broody hot guitarist in a band and Violet is a sweet spunky young woman who runs the family flower business. Violet meets Richard while his band is playing at a local bar and they feel a connection right away, it’s love at first sight. Then one day Richard leaves with no explanation leaving Violet devastated. 6 years later he comes back to their hometown to attend his sisters wedding and the sparks between Richard and Violet are still there. But there are dangerous dark secrets that Richard is keeping and Violet can’t afford to trust him. This story had everything I look for in a book, romance, super hot loving, mystery, a little danger and a cute as heck child named Daisy. I recommend this book for all the reasons listed above but also because A. l Jackson is such a fantastic storyteller, this book has so much emotion in the written words, I stayed up way past when I should have been sleeping to finish this book, it was that good.

First, let me say that A.L Jacksons writing style isn't my favorite, but I can deal with it well enough in small doses. At most, I'll only read one or two of her books a year because of this, but I really enjoyed her Bleeding Stars series. And this series, Falling Stars, started off well. I loved book one, Kiss the Stars, but has floundered a bit for me as we've gone on. My biggest complaint is that I have found all the characters are fairly interchangeable. All of the men are written to speak in such a way that they never start a sentence using "I" or "you", and, for the most part, sound like Neanderthals. Why some authors believe this is the mark of an "alpha male" is beyond me. Having been raised by a military father and step-father, and marrying a career military man, I can assure you strong, alpha men do not speak this way. And all of the women in this series are the typical sweet, kind, beautiful, perfect women. There is absolutely nothing about any of these characters that make them unique or different from the others. The storyline threaded through this series is probably what keeps me reading. (okay, that and they are on KU because I'd never pay to finish this series) It's interesting enough to keep turning the page, even though I've skipped through several in this book, because the characters themselves are fairly uninteresting and ridiculously over-the-top in their declarations of love. And the 5, almost 6 yr old, speaking in plurals got annoying quickly, though her character is cute. Unrealistic, but cute and endearing. Overall, this book, and indeed the whole series, is well written. But, honestly, I don't think I'd recommend this series, aside from book one, and will probably end up taking another long break from A.L Jackson books for a while.

As I said in the title, I liked this story WAY more than the other 2 in the series! 😊 I always like second-chance love stories 💞, and the twist in this one really WAS a twist in the end! The thing I was expecting to BE the twist wasn’t the twist, after all (I’m not gonna tell you what it is b/c I don’t wanna spoil it for you 😉)!! And finally!! A child doesn’t listen in this author’s book!! 😁 (She climbs a tree & gets hurt; don’t worry, though, she just breaks her wrist & has to wear a cast for a while. Nothing too bad or serious. (And I don’t consider this too much of a spoiler; this incident doesn’t have too much to do with the main plot.)) The other thing I like is that Saul isn’t part of the twist at the end, either. He’s just a guy who was interested in the FMC & got a little jealous, but nothing really happened with him at the end. I really thought he was gonna turn out to be the bad guy in the end, but, nope, he just a guy who works with her dad & is interested in her; that’s it. The one thing that kinda DID annoy me (& the main reason why I only gave it 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, not 5) is that the author CLEARLY doesn’t know Spanish!! Let me explain: it’s not the fact that she doesn’t know Spanish that annoys me, clearly. It’s that she clearly hasn’t done her research on the Spanish language! For example, she has some phrases in Spanish scattered throughout the book, but it seemed like she just copied and pasted from Google Translate, translating LITERALLY from English. If you gonna have Spanish sayings and phrases, you SHOULDN’T just translate DIRECTLY from English!! You should find a Spanish-speaker to translate the words for you! Also, with the Spanish names, you should SPELL them the Spanish way of spelling them. For example, the last name of the FMC SHOULD be Marín, with an accent mark on the “Í”. And, also, why doesn’t the author use “MamÁ, Papá, Abuelo, & Abuela” for family members, the Spanish names for them?! (Sorry for my little rant, but it drives me CRAZY when authors DON’T do this research before writing about other cultures! 😒) And another thing is what’s with all the “R” names in this series?? Seriously, there’s a “Royce”, “Richard”, & “Rhys” . . . Thank God “Emily” (the FMC from Book 1) doesn’t start with an “R”, too!! 😅 Also, with all the “K” names, too!! “Karl”, “Kade” . . . It’s got confusing kinda after a while . . . ! 🥹 But all that being said, I AM still looking forward to starting the last book in the series tomorrow, Rhys & Maggie’s story! BUT also, with theirs being the last book in the series, I’m left wondering where’s “Mels-Bels’” love story?? I’d LOVE to see her get her HEA, too!! (If you know, you know! 😅)

This was so good I think it was one of my favorites. <b><I> “Just because you continue to grieve someone you lost is not the same thing as weakness. It just means you have a soft heart. A good heart. One that continues to beat. And even though it hurts, you get up each day and you live your life beautifully. That’s what I call overcoming.”</I></b> I loved this series and the sunder series and all the others but I think this one was really extra good. It wasn’t to cheesy or not believable. It was full of hotness, suspense, nail biting, sweetness, tear jerking, sadness moments, and so much more. <b><I> “Just…be careful, mi amor. Un corazón roto no puede sanar cuando está siendo aplastado.” A broken heart cannot heal when it’s being crushed. “My wife. My moonflower in the darkest night. You will always be the song of my heart.” “My husband. My sun that ushers in the day. You will always be the beat of my heart.” “Hell, no. No one’s touchin’ my mommy!” I choked out a shocked laugh, and Emily slapped her hand over her mouth to hold hers in, while Melanie fell into a fit of cackled giggles where she sat at the table. “Oh my god…I think Daisy is my soul mate.”</I></b> I’ve been so stressed and really feeling down a lot for a while, and haven’t been reading any books in a good while. I know my reading goal is definitely not getting meet this year. Richard, is so dreamy sounding to me and I just love violet and all the character actually. This was the perfect book to get back in to reading and lost in. Loved it, a thousand times thumbs up! <b><I> Once they disappeared inside, I turned, hands shoved in my pockets. “Thanks for being here.” Rhys clapped me on the shoulder. “Uh, no brainer, man. Who else were you gonna call? Look at me. If I were in trouble, I’d want me on my side, too.” I shoved him off with a laugh. “Dead weight, man, dead weight.” He smacked his hand over his heart. “Blasphemy. You know who’s got your back.” I fist bumped him. “Know it. Thank you.” “Always, brother,”

Ms. Jackson delivers heartfelt prose that lingers in your heart long after the last word is read. It's been six years. He's back. She's Destined for Heartbreak. If there was ever a love meant to be...Richard & Violet's will steal your heart, take your breath away, and rob your sleep. Twists.Turns. Secrets. Epic. Love. This one will send you on a wild emotional ride. But it is worth every lyrical poetic word written by AL Jackson. --"But she doesn’t know the dark secrets he keeps. If he had understood the true price of fame, he would have known he’d sold his soul and this debt is something he cannot repay. Letting her go is impossible, but will loving her cost it all?"-- Falling Into You is intense love, combustible chemistry, forgiveness, second chances, and character-driven. Ms. Jackson delivers this slow burn perfectly...giving the reader time to see the couple through good days and bad. Learning their strengths and weaknesses along the way. And leading us to fight with them for that forever--that pure love. Brilliantly giving the reader the ability to feel every emotion, every word, every song.

I am a new reader to A.L. Jackson. This book was interestingly recommended by another author. I found her style of writing phenomenal. At times her words are like a song and at other times like poetry. Her sentences displayed finesse. A multitude of images and metaphors evoked potent feelings and emotions. This long story builds up slowly. And darkness is like a serpent in the night. Representing evil, hate, lies, corruption, sin and death. Moonlight, daytime and sunshine and flowers like the innocence of a child. Symbolic of truth, life, goodness, giving and love. The story builds up slowly and the climax is gruesome. But will love triumph?. Read this outstanding book and find out.

I really enjoyed this book , the story great , the characters well rounded ,for me though ,the absolutely adorable Daisy stole the book from start to finish what a wonderful little character she was !! I would have given this 5stars but the author drives me mad with those repetitive one word sentences e.g.home home home ,Amor Amor amor,my wife my wife my wife .Why does she do this when the one word still has the same impact ,it doesn't bring anything more to the intensity of the story.However still a well worth read.

I’m going to be honest, I thought Richard was an ass in the first two books in this series. But wow when you find out why, complete reversal of opinion. This is a breathtaking edge of seat romantic suspense. With a very cute Daisy thrown in Awesome!

i loved the story of richard and violet. its dark at the beginning and a little confusing but it all comes clear future into the story. you have to read the forst two books as the web of evil runs through them and continues in thos book bringing it to a conclusion with a happy ending. my heart broke for lily for al she had lpst and sacrificed for her sister violet and daughter daisy. emotional to the end but thats what you expect from the author. another great read cant wait for the next in series
