Review For: Falling For Phoenix





Falling For Phoenix is the third book in Eryn LaPlant’s Falling for Heroes series. Each book in the series so far has focused on a different brother. This book is Rhys Hannel’s story. Rhys is a wealthy stockbroker living the good life in London until one day it’s gone.

Needing to start over Rhys travels to California and his brother Oliver’s home. This is where he meets Gracen Phoenix, a woman with many secrets including her true identity. Over the course of the book Gracen helps Rhys over come his demons and soon he cannot imagine his life without her. Unfortunately the secrets from Gracen’s past are catching up to her and threatening to keep them apart. Is their love strong enough to survive? You’ll have to read the book to find out.


Like all of Eryn’s books this one is well written. The character are believable and you find yourself drawn into the story hoping they will get their happily ever after. Eryn nicely weaves the characters from the rest of the series into the story adding more dimension and depth to the plot. Over all I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good romance.

As Eden and Trace grow closer, confessing their pasts to each other, will they be able to resist getting too close?

Excerpt:

“You’re studying to be a priest?”

He made himself meet her eyes. “I am a priest.”

She let go of his hand and stepped back.

Her smiled was tight. “I’m glad you found your path.”

Quiet.

He couldn’t quite read her expression. The distance between them felt like a gorge chiseled into the earth.

“Are you all right, Maylynn?” he asked.

“I’m really happy for you.” Then she added, “Father Aiden.”

For some reason, her words stabbed him in the gut. He usually liked when people used his title—it seemed to imply a certain amount of trust.

“I’m sorry, Maylynn.” He wasn’t entirely sure why he was apologizing. He just didn’t like to see her uncomfortable.

“I’m happy for you,” she repeated.

Then he realized what the problem was. He hadn’t anticipated this.

He moved closer. “I’m so sorry.”

Her forced smile finally dropped. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“It didn’t occur to me…”

“That I might be attracted to you?”

“Yes.”

“Why aren’t you wearing your collar?” Anger prickled the edge of her voice.

“My mother’s last wish was that I find my father. I’ve been following her notes. She was convinced he was somewhere in this area.”

“Wait… Your mother’s name was Adalina?”

He nodded. With the number of times the shelter was mentioned in the notes, he figured his mother and Maylynn had met.

A pause.

Anger flashed in her eyes. “You still should’ve told me.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Why’d you play with me like that?”

“I swear that wasn’t my intent.”

“You knew damn well what was going on. Was it a game—see if you still had it? If you could still get the chicks?”

Under the anger in her eyes, he saw the hurt. He swore he could feel it exactly, as if it was his own.

He shifted even closer, just in front of her. “I’m sorry,” he said again. His voice lowered, quieted. “I didn’t see what you were feeling because I was fighting so hard myself. I still am.”

“Fighting what?”

“What I felt the first time I saw you, what I’m still feeling.”

She waited, glaring at him.

“I’m attracted to you,” he said. “Intensely.”
