Fall with Me

Jennifer L. Armentrout. Avon, $7.99 mass market (384p) ISBN 978-0-06-236274-2

Bestseller Armentrout shines with this tight, suspenseful new adult tale, the fourth in her Wait for You saga (after Stay with Me). Bartender Roxy Ark’s best friend, Charlie, is tragically injured in a hate-crime incident that Roxy feels is her fault. Years later, she still carries the guilt. Former Marine Reece Anders wants desperately to provide the hope and love Roxy needs—if she’ll only let him. While Roxy’s been in love with Reece since she was a teenager, she’s convinced that she doesn’t have the right to be happy when her best friend is irreparably damaged. When a predator targeting local young women appears to set his sights on Roxy, it’s up to Reece to rescue her, with help from an unexpected source. Readers will speed-read to find out what happens next to the powerfully appealing characters. Agent: Kevan Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. (Mar.)
