Resumen del Editor

Ellie

Lincoln Alexander might think he’s too old for me, but he’s wrong. A fourteen-year age gap is nothing when you’re desperate to feel alive again.

The wealthy business owner has only ever seen me as off limits, but he has the power to put me back together—to chase away my demons with just his touch.

So, for one intense night, without him knowing who I am, I put my trust and pleasure in his hands.

My plan is to walk away, ready to move forward with my life, but when the doctor tells me that I’m pregnant, I find myself taking two steps back.

Lincoln

One night isn’t enough with the masked, green-eyed woman who walked into my club and turned my world upside down.

After I gave her what she wanted, again and again, she walked away without a trace.

When I finally discover the identity of the mysterious beauty who stole my heart on Valentine’s Day—and the secret she’s been keeping—my heart stops.

Ellie Bardot is all grown up, but I remember the innocent girl she was, even if she doesn’t. I hate that she lied to me, almost as much as I hate that I still want her.

Now I’m torn between being the man she needs me to be and doing the right thing.

Great narration by Lexi Evans and Gregory Salinas.

Age gap

I couldn't wait for Ellie and Lincoln’s story when I read the first in the series. The attraction Ellie felt towards Lincoln from the beginning was so sweet. She trusted him since she first met him. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between them. I liked that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I did this on audio and really enjoyed it. The narration was so well done.

Captivated

Ellie had a crush on Lincoln when she was just a kid hanging out at the club but he never saw her as anything but a little kid. Ellie had been through a lot if you’ve read/listened to “The Risk of Falling” then you’ll know. If you have triggers, please check the authors page for information. Ellie decides to take back her life and intimacy back by dressing up and taking part in Valentine’s at the club. I needed for Ellie to get her HEA and for Lincoln to finally get out of his way! Well worth the wait.

Excellent Audiobook

Nikki Ash has become a favorite author of mine. I read this book first because I couldn't wait for the audiobook to be released after listening to the first book. I was absolutely invested the characters. A steamy, age gap, friends to lovers, pregnancy, storyline that was riveting. I was so glad to be on the road so there were few interruptions as I listened. Lincoln warmed my heart with his friendship with Ellie. I loved how the author wrote this romance. I smiled, laughed, teared up, held my breath, and smiled big at the HEA.

Lexi Evans and Gregory Salinas are favorite narrators. They brought this audiobook to life with emotional performances that had it rolling like a movie in my head. Absolute perfection.

Ellie and Lincoln

Ellie and Lincoln

The narrators did a really good job.
Another great, interesting story that you don't want to end. These are the siblings of the couple in the first book. Ellie was keeping a secret from her family and has been dealing with nightmares and flashbacks. Wanting to feel intimacy she seeks out the only person she trust and at a masquerade seduces him. Nikki has a way that makes me feel connected to the characters and a story that you just don't want to stop reading/listening to.

A Risk Worth Taking

This is the second book in the Falling in Love series. The first book was about Micah and Sienna. This book is about Sienna’s sister Ellie and Micah’s brother Lincoln. Some may think fourteen years may be too different in a relationship. Ellie has had a hard time being intimate with anyone since she was abducted at fourteen years old, at the end of book one. She never told anyone that she was sexually assaulted. She has been dealing with the memories and flashbacks all on her own. Now she is twenty-two years old and still never willingly been with a man. Lincoln is the only man she has ever felt safe with and been attracted to for years. Lincoln’s club is having a Valentine’s Day masquerade event. She believes this is her one true chance to be with a man that she knows will treat her right. Then their lives change when she finds out she is pregnant. This is an age gap, accidental pregnancy romance with a hint of mafia sprinkled in. Lexi Evans and Gregory Salinas did a fantastic job narrating this book.

Worth the Listen

I have been anxiously awaiting this release after meeting Lincoln and Ellie in The Risk of Falling. I couldn’t get them out of my head for months! And Nikki Ash did not disappoint with their story!!! So freaking good!!

Ellie has been crushing on Lincoln since she was fourteen but Lincoln’s never seen her as more than a “kid sister” that he’ll do anything to protect. After a traumatic event occurs, Ellie runs off to California, leaving her sister and the only man that’s ever made her feel safe, behind.

Ellie can’t move on. Her past is holding her down and she’s needs to break free from it. But every time she gets close to a man, her walls go up higher and higher. Lincoln is the only man that she’s ever trusted but he’ll never give her what she wants; what she needs.

This was such an amazing read. Lincoln is a total good guy. He’s sexy AF, a dirty talker, dominant at the perfect times, but also so giving when he needs to be. When he meets a mystery woman at his club, for the first time he’s feeling a pull he’s never felt before. He can feel something’s off and he gives his mystery woman the control she needs. When their night comes to an end, Lincoln will do anything to find her. But what happens when the woman he’s been searching for has been under his nose the entire time? And she’s off-limits!!

For real, Lincoln and Ellie are HOT!!! You can feel the insane chemistry and the energy between these two. Lincoln is so patient with Ellie and wants to give her everything she’s ever wanted.

The past should stay in the past but for Ellie and Lincoln, the past may have just caught up to them once again.

For fans of a spicy romantic suspense, this is a must read.

Narrators were fantastic!!!

Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

This book was so good. This duet was so good! I thought Micah was swoony in book one, and he is, but he’s got nothing on Lincoln. There were a few times where I wanted to shake Lincoln but he came around. I also wanted to shake Ellie a bit, because the girl doesn’t make great life choices. Even if some of them do end up working out for her in the end, she comes up with these plans that aren’t the best. 😂😂 I did love Ellie’s tenacity though, when she wants something she really goes for it. She’s wanted Lincoln since she was 14 years old and lo and behold 8 years later they are together, after some major hurdles they have to climb over, but it was great to see their story play out.

Lexi Evans and Gregory Salinas did an incredible job on the narration. I wasn’t sure what to expect because I don’t think I’ve heard anything from either of them before, but they did an amazing job.

All the feels...

A Risk Worth Taking is book 2 in the Falling In Love series. It's an age gap, secret pregnancy, romantic suspense that will keep you engrossed from the start. It had so much angst and all the steam. What an emotional roller coaster ride. I loved the relationship that built between Lincoln and Ellie throughout. It was sexy and sweet at the same time. I really enjoyed this one.

Lexi Evans and Gregory Salinas did a great job portraying these characters.
