Can you keep a secret?
I grew up sick.
Let me clarify.
I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.
Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.
When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.
Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.
Secrets that cost us everything to keep.
That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.
Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.
And all were punished.
Official Summary
04 June 2024
This book follows Cecelia, a girl who is forced to move away from her hometown to her father’s small town. Where she has a deal with her wealthy father that she will work for his company for a year in order to inherit his fortune. However, she soon meets the mysterious Sean who is her boss at work.
Cecelia soon gets tangled up in Seans world as is very oblivious to everything going on around her.
I really like Cecelia’s character and she truly comes across as a likable which can be hard sometimes when a book only really has one female main character. However, I loved how supportive Cecelia is of the other women in her life.
Domonic was also an interesting character and I really hope Cecelia end up with him towards the end of this series. The only thing I can say about Sean is WOW, talk about an emotional rollercoaster, I mean this man goes from yelling at her to confessing his love for her in the same breath. Yikes. I’m not really nuts about Sean but he isn’t the absolute worst.
Its so funny because in most books I want to yell at the characters to mind their own business and it drove me mad in this book because I just kept on yelling at Cecelia to ask people questions! Because I had no clue what was happening in this book. But it was a fun ride and I hope this is just a set up for the plot that is going to happen in the next two books. I think except for the ‘Boys of Tommen’ Books I have read this year I think this may be the best book I have read so far this year. Purley just because the second I finished this book I immediately wanted to pick up the next book in the series and get answers to all my millions of questions.
Overall, I cannot recommend this book more and I would recommend reading trigger warning before picking it up as this book does deal with some harsher topics.
