Yet a brief affair with Dana begins to open his eyes to what he may be letting pass him by. They were friends, they have been lovers and now the woman in his past is making them act like strangers. Will Jake's silent and stoic character force Dana's pride to accept it is over, or will two opposites finally see that they had love all along?

Reviews

"Dana Van Diver knows that her affair with Jake Jessup is going nowhere. Although she finds herself falling in love with him, Jake’s heart will forever belong to his fiancée who was so cruelly taken from him in an accident. When Jake realizes that Dana is starting to care for him, he quickly takes steps to end their relationship. He knows that it’s unfair to use her when he can never love her. But as time goes on and Jake realizes that he may have truly lost Dana forever, will he realize that what he felt was love all long?

I LOVE EVE ASBURY!!! Falling for You takes the reader on a trip, from total frustration with Jake, empathy for Dana and finally the satisfaction of a romance that delivers. I definitely Joyfully Recommend Falling for You for readers who are looking for story that will leave you smiling and hunting for the other books in Ms. Asbury’s One Hot Summer series along with her equally tempting historical romances while holding your breath waiting for the next offering from Eve Asbury!"

A Note From The Author

Falling for you isn't a stand alone story. As many know, when I first published One Hot Summer, I explained it started out as 600 plus pages with all POV's overlapping. It was considered too big with too many points of view. The last book in the OHS trilogy is Falling for You. Dana and Jake's point of view, and more on the "affair" that was hinted at in Southern Moon. This one was written for "the readers" who wanted to know more, and wanted to see what those two were doing during all those events and encounters, plus what they were thinking. All this was cut out when OHS was done, as was most of Southern Moon. I've tried to bring it together to give you Dana and Jake's feelings and thoughts, and give you get the chance to see Jake and Dana up close. Will they get their happy every after?
