About this listen
Ethan
I shouldn’t want Melanie as much as I do. She's gorgeous, fascinating, and…my friend’s sister, making her absolutely off limits. I shouldn’t want her, even if she’s perfect for me.
When she asks me to be her fake fiancé as a ploy for her promotion, I should say no. Though if I help her, it's my chance to prove to her that I’m not the man she thinks I am. But pretending isn’t my style, so she better be prepared for the real thing.
Melanie
I’ve been dreaming of being a firm partner for so long, but the current partners don't think I’m serious enough for the position. Saying that a forty-year-old playboy is my fiancé to prove my commitment is a huge lie, but I can’t exactly take it back now.
Pretending to be engaged, and not falling for Ethan, is proving to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. As we bury ourselves deeper and deeper into the lie, the charade becomes more real than it should, making my feelings for him more mixed up than his favorite cocktail.
Falling the Old Fashioned Way is a deliciously spicy fake engagement romantic comedy. It is an interconnected standalone in the Top Shelf Romances series, intended for mature audiences who enjoy on-page “adult fun”.

Story
Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

Story
Let me tell the story of how I fell in love with a woman who had no idea that we were even dating. The ridiculousness started when she stole my beer, and trust me, my grumpy self doesn’t normally share. But somehow, Avery Wilson is the exception to every one of my many rules. Unfortunately, I’m not hers. Not only is she the daughter of the Rev’s coach who hates me, she’s also sworn off dating for the year.

Story
Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

Story
I slept with my trainer. And as it turns out, I’m not the only one. Apparently, he sleeps with all his clients. So I block him—the last thing I need is another a-hole in my life. Especially one as irresistibly charming and handsome as Ashton Vancroft. The catch? Three years later, our best friends, Emma and Marcus, get engaged, and we are both forced to play nice at their destination wedding in Florida. Is he really the self-centered playboy I’ve made him out to be? Or is there something more to this fitness-obsessed now-billionaire that I missed the first time around?

When his former hockey coach passes away, Declan Cadell is shocked to learn the man left him a cattle ranch. Well, not exactly. He's got one little hurdle to jump first. He has to win a trivia contest against the man's estranged daughter. Oh, and there's a caveat: he's only in the running if he lives and works with the spoiled princess who blew off one of the greatest men he's ever known. As if it wasn't hurtful enough that Seraphina Crutchley's biological father replaced her with a bunch of sweaty hockey boys, now he's forcing her to vie for her inheritance with one of them.

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Then there’s Melanie….she’s quick to act without thought of the repercussions…not always the best thing but can you fault her
These two were made for each other…with this interconnected series I feel like I say that a lot but it’s always true
The only thing I would change is to have the narrator read their own part no matter the POV….other than that it was perfect!!!
Oh Ethan

Ethan and Mel had a one night stand after Ethan's best friend's wedding to Mel's brother. Only this was never a one night thing for Ethan and Mel only believed it was because of Ethan's reputation. One year later they come together again as fake fiancees but Ethan's condition is that they date for real even if the engagement is fake.
Did I already mention that Ethan is perfect? Because that man can do no wrong and I'll die on that hill. This man was all in from day one but still willing to take things at Mel's pace. And not only was he the sweetest guy, his spicy side was hot as hell, and I absolutely loved how Mel matched his dirty side. I also loved the chemistry and banter between Mel and Ethan and the interactions with the side characters.
Honestly, I feel like I could be here for hours talking about this book, so I'll just say that if you're looking for a fun light-hearted book, you definitely want to read/listen to this one.
