To the Fall by Prescott Lane
Publication Date: March 8th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
You know the story.
Boy meets girl, they fall in love, two kids, white picket fence.
This isn’t that story.
This is more like . . .
Man meets woman. Man sleeps with woman.
Man meets another woman, sleeps with her.
And so on. You get the idea.
I own a small boutique hotel in New Orleans, the Kingston. I’ve seen men do some stupid stuff in the name of the woman they love, or at least the woman they love for the night.
That’s not me. I’m always in control. You’d be surprised how much you can get away with on just good manners and a smile. It’s the only way to keep my secrets safely locked away.
And my smile hides a lot. Until her.
She turns me down flat. Playing hard to get is my favorite game. It’s the thrill of the chase.
Only problem is, I think it’s me that’s getting caught.
My Review (ARC provided)
4 stars!
To The Fall was a page turner, I didn’t know what Pierce was hiding but I couldn’t wait to find out. I can't say I loved Pierce. Did he grow on me? Yes, but there was something more I needed from him. He upset me the way he handled a few things.
Sutton, I loved. She was feisty and strong but still soft and lovable. She had to protect her heart and especially from someone like Pierce Kingston. Then there was Annie, poor broken Annie and I don't feel like I really got to know her. There is a lot between Pierce and Annie that slowly unravels in this book. Many secrets, many lies.
“The devil’s in the details, and sometimes I think I’m Satan himself.”
Sutton is the type of woman who wants it all with a relationship, if she doesn’t see a future than she doesn't want it, she’s been burnt in the past. When Pierce shows an interest in her she knows he’s not right for her. He’s not a one woman man, doesn’t believe in marriage and doesn't want children. He likes sex and control that’s about it. He uses sex for control.
“Here’s the thing about loving someone. It’s a complete loss of control, like falling. Sometimes it hurts. And sometimes you land exactly where your supposed to.”
Pierce keeps pursuing Sutton until she gives him a chance, but he’s not giving all to her. He still holds back and he doesn't know if he’ll ever be able to let go.
“Sometimes it’s just fun to play the game. Not play for keeps”
“And that’s why you don’t have a chance. I play to win.”
When Pierce fell he fell fast, now he needs to make it work.
It’s not how much you love someone. It’s how much they love you that matters. And I’m tired of loving people more than they love me.”
Besides Pierce’s relationship with Sutton he has to deal with a therapist, his relationship with his best and oldest friend Annie, his stepmother and his sister. There is a lot going on, but it’s done well and wraps up nicely.
The last thirty percent of this book was very emotional so be prepared, you’ll have a lot of ups and downs.
This book was filled with beautiful words, I highlighted so much.

Excerpt:
Dr. Lorraine laughs and pulls out her prescription pad. Scribbling something, she turns it to me. The title reads: The sex diet.
I bust out laughing. “You’re writing me a sex prescription.”
“Sort of,” she says. “You ever gone on a diet before?”
“No.”
“The thing with diets is, you usually start off strict.”
"How did I know that?”
“No touching by either party, not even kissing.”
"Wait, not even a hand job?” I ask.
“You’ve got your own hands. Use them.”
She writes jerking off on her script pad, then puts a checkmark beside it. This is the craziest shit.
“Once a day as needed,” she says, writing that down.
“I’ll never make it.”
“How many times do you want?” she asks.
“At least twice, morning and before bed.”
She shakes her head. “Okay, twice a day,” she says and points her pencil at me. “That’s it.”
“I really don’t think I need . . .”
“You won’t be released from therapy until I’m satisfied you’ve completed this,” she says.
She has me by the balls, and she knows it. I can’t believe I’m being forced to agree to this, but what choice do I have? “I haven’t had sex in a couple days. Can I get credit for that?”
“No,” she laughs out. “Start fresh today.”
“Porn?”
“What about it?”
“Can I use it?” I ask.
“You don’t have enough memories to sustain you?” she asks.
“Good point.”
She gets to her feet and sticks out her hand. “Good luck.”
Shaking her hand and smiling, I’m sure I’ve got this.
I bite the inside of my mouth, realizing the old lady has tricked me. It’s Thursday. I’m not seeing her again until Tuesday.
That’s five days! Shit, what have I done?
