Guest Review (+ a Giveaway!): Can’t Help Falling In Love by Bella Andre

Tracy’s review of Can’t Help Falling in Love (The Sullivans #3) by Bella Andre

How much is worth risking?

Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco, but he knows better than to risk giving his heart again. Especially not to the woman he saved from a deadly apartment fire and can’t stop thinking about.

Megan Harris owes everything to the heroic firefighter who saved her and her daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her pilot husband, she has vowed to never suffer through loving and losing a man with a dangerous job again.

But when Gabe and Megan meet again, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter but also his sweetly sensual kisses, challenging her to risk everything she’s been guarding for so long?

Gabe Sullivan is a firefighter who loves women. He’s not a complete player but he’s not afraid to go for a woman if he’s attracted to her. He does have a rule though: no dating women he’s rescued in fires. He went that route one before and it did not turn out well.

Megan Harris is a widow and single mother whose husband was a navy fighter pilot. She’s dated since her husband’s death five years earlier but the men were always had “safe” jobs – 9-5 desk jobs. Megan’s husband was a thrill seeker and she made a rule after his death: never get involved with a man who has a job that isn’t completely safe.

When Gabe saves Megan and her daughter Summer from a burning building and then meets her afterwards he feels a connection to her that has nothing to do with the fact that he saved her life. Megan feels the same connection but since the man runs into burning buildings constantly she would pretty much say his job isn’t anywhere near safe enough for her. The pair try to stay away from each other but find that they just can’t – especially with Summer sneaking around trying to arrange “accidentally” bumping into each other.

Gabe and Megan start seeing each other but at every turn Megan has doubts. Gabe says he loves her but how can she commit to a man that lives so dangerously? She’s fooling herself however and knows she loves him – she just doesn’t know if she can be with him for the long haul.

I have to say that this is my favorite Sullivan book so far. Gabe and Megan were just perfect together and while there was obviously a bit of conflict there it was between the two of them and their feelings for each other rather than anything external. I loved the fact that Gabe, after his initial misgivings, just went for it. He realized his foolishness and made his plan to win Megan over. She was definitely won over but even though she tried to hold herself back from him she really was a complete noodle around the man. She loved him, just not his job. Her final enlightening thoughts and realizations were an epiphany for her and their HEA just made me smile.

The series gets better with every book and I have to say I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next story.
