"Ms. Elsborg brings romance and mystery together"
Falling For You tells of Jo who has the ability to
heal herself and once a month has this overwhelming urge
for sex. So for that week she does her best to avoid Men...to
the point she even has taken up running until her body's
only desire is sleep. One night while running she finds
herself falling and when she comes to, finds she has fallen
into a cave, but not just any cave. This cave already
houses someone. An injured vampire named Alek. Alek is a Trueblood...and on the outs with the Vampire
Council as are most Truebloods, including his Family whom
he hasn't seen in over 200 years. So while sitting in his
cave, injured and praying for death, suddenly an angel
falls out of the sky and into his lap. Maybe she will help
him, and in a way she already has by giving him a reason to
survive. But someone wants Alek dead...who and why are the main
questions. With Jo's help can Alek find out the reasons,
and does he have a chance to be happy with Jo? Or is that
another road he will have to go down only to find it's a
dead end? Author Barbara Elsborg does a good job of bringing her
readers into the lives of Jo and Alek as well as the other
characters in the story. She makes her readers feel Jo's
pain and troubles as well as gets them to root for her and
Alek. Falling For You brings romance as well as
mystery together. Any reader of either will enjoy the
intrigue of the mystery of who is after Alex and the
romance that is blooming between Alek and Jo.
