Maxx Reynolds needs help. His shop, house, and life are all in a state of disarray. In desperation, he turns to the internet to hire a new employee, thinking it will make his life easier. What he expects is a fellow named Charly. What he gets is a quirky, sassy redhead named Charlynn who runs circles around him. And she's all woman. He can't stand her. He can't keep his hands off her, either.

Story
I don’t have time for flings. Love is out of the question. As a single mom and small-town doctor, my plate is more than full. But when Drake Kershaw, an experienced physician with a mysterious past, comes into my life, I can't resist his charm. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met before. Drake is smart, charming, and has a heart of gold. But he’s also grumpy and hesitant to let anyone close. Like the rest of his wealthy family, he’s full of secrets. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dangerous. I should stay away, but how can I when he works in my practice?

Story
This wasn’t the typical boy meets girl story. In our case, it was extraordinary: a boy met a girl and another boy. And he fell madly in love with both. Greyson was a gifted musician whose songs soothed even the most shattered souls. Aerin was a ballerina, exuding an elegance that could steal your breath away. They weren’t just my loves. They were my reason to breathe—my world. Until a tragedy broke us into a thousand pieces.

"I want a divorce." That's the first thing she says to me after a decade of silence. And we're not even married yet. Her demand, the way her grandmother talks to her, and how she's treated by the town trigger me. This is just a business arrangement that'll save both our ranches, neither of us want this marriage, but I'll keep her safe by making her my wife. My wife. Those words are as powerful as her first ones to me. The rings on her finger are temporary, so tell me why I want them to remain there permanently?

I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off. Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion. No one talked to me that way. I liked it. I liked her cake even more. So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

Our first meeting was at a nightclub, and it was something straight out of my most romantic fantasies. My ovaries exploded at the sight of the Russian God. And by God, I mean he was ripped, tall, dark, and deadly attractive. There were enough sparks between us to light up a city. Then an explosion blasted through the nightclub, and we got trapped together for three hours, sharing our most personal details...everything but our names. Two years later, our second meeting is the complete opposite of the first. It's clear Misha Petrov, a Russian enforcer for the bratva, despises me.

🍁🍁🍁🍁 ~ ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
📖 Aldo has never been one to be distracted until Violet catches his eye and everything he thought about what he wants goes out the window.
❤️ Aldo and Violet are insatiable for each other once Aldo finally gives in to his attraction to Violet. I love the banter between Aldo and Violet and how she was able to give as well as she took and kept Aldo on his toes.
🖤 The suspense could have been a little bit more for the style of the book but all and all, another good book and I can not wait for the next book to see Roman swept off his feet just like Aldo.
🎧 John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did a great job of bringing another Melanie Moreland book to life.

Perfect.
Aldo is hard on the outside but a soft, gooey center. I love the way he loves Violet, he takes charge of her bad situation and makes her life better. These two narrators are some of my favorite combos, they make the story just a little sweeter. Great performance, great story and a happy reader. 5 beautiful stars. Oh, I would love more Aldo and Vi in the future, please and thank you. But no pressure to the author.

She is just so strong and funny she literally keeps Aldo and Roman on their toes.
I loved reading this but listening to this was pretty great. A few parts were a little mixed up but besides that I enjoyed listening to this.

Take all my stars for my favorite narrating duo
Maxine Mitchell and John Lane can do no wrong. They exceeded my expectations with their performance as Aldo and Vi. I could feel their chemistry through their cadence narrating the authors amazing story. I will never tire of them pairing up and bringing these stories to life, elevating them on such a way that has me relistening to these books repeatedly. I adored this pair with their banter and on-page chemistry but to experience it in sound is the perfect sensory overload with every description the author pens.

Love Aldo
Oh boy you are going to devour this story like Aldo devoured Vi. No shame with that, I stayed in bed all day reading them. It was a really good story. I needed like 5 more chapters about them but now I have Roman as my next read so I’m happy with that. You are going to love how Aldo cares, his protectiveness and his personality. I love everything about him. And Violet? She is perfect, the light of his darkness. I love how direct she is and how sure of herself she is. She is really strong and independent and I love how patient she is with him. And specially how she went for everything she wanted. I love Luca and Roman, and obviously I love Nonna V. Can’t wait to read more of them. The audiobook as all Melanie’s audiobooks was perfect. I love how Maxine brings Vi to life and John, Aldo’s. I love the energy and passion they put in this audiobook. Love it.

Omg where do I start !!!!
I was so excited when I heard Melanie Moreland had a new duet coming out and all I need to say is….Aldo (Men of the Falls #1) was so much more than I expected. I’m not normally drawn to characters that are morally grey and Mafia romance is not my first choice but this book is intriguing, captivating, well written and I loved it so I highly recommend it to all romance lovers.
Maxine Mitchell and John Lane did a Fantas job bringing the characters and their story to life. They were easy to listen to and spit on with the emotions, love and passion that runs throughout this book.
Aldo Ricci is best friend and right hand man to Roman Costa, co owner of The Maple an upmarket Casino and hotel in Niagara Falls. A chance meeting with Violet (Vi) Nelson has him feeling and thinking about things he knows he shouldn’t but walking away doesn’t feel like an option…….
It was only meant to be one night for them to get each other out of their systems but as they spend time together they realise they both want more. But what happens when danger comes to play and will Aldo be able to protect Vi.
This is one of those reads that draws you in and doesn’t let you go, it has wonderful characters that you can’t get enough off, it’s an intriguing story that has all the feels and more importantly it has the perfect mix of love, passion, suspense and mystery. Ms Moreland has shown us how diverse her writing can be with this one and I’m very excited for Roman’s story in book 2.

a great read!
Aldo is the first book in the new Men of the Falls duet, and it was a great read. Melanie is one of my one-click authors and this book is a perfect example of why. A great story with great narration - I loved reading this one.
Aldo is dedicated to his work for Roman Costas. Roman is more than a boss/owner at the casino, he's also Aldo's best friend. They grew up together and have been close ever since they were kids. In addition to the casino they are part of the local underworld.
Everything is fine until Violet walks in looking for a job. From the very beginning there's chemistry between them and Aldo is protective over her. It was interesting watching these two fall for one another as they are from very different backgrounds. They were interesting characters who were well matched.
This book is on the shorter side, but Melanie does a great job at pacing the story and relationship development. Nothing felt rushed or forced, and I was hooked from the moment I started reading. I cannot wait to read the next book that features Roman!

Super enjoyable!
Really a great listen! Fantastic narrators and a really fun story. I’d consider this mafia-lite. Not all that dark, although there is a situation that is dealt with mafia-style. The love story happens pretty fast, but I feel like it adds to the story. I liked this one!

Swoony Mafia Goodness
I adored this.
I don't know what I was expecting from this novel. I have previously only read Small Town Romance from this author but I always enjoy a Mafia tale, so I was game. I was pleasantly rewarded with this romance between Aldo and Violet.
I found this romance to be a perfect balance of darkness and sweetness. I just found Aldo so endearing! His desire for Violet is a palpable thing and it brings out his protectiveness and wariness. Because he's never wanted a woman for more than the physical before. That is my favorite thing ever.
I really liked Violet and I loved how she didn't let life get her down. She may be starting from the bottom, in a new city, but she is a hard worker and she takes no crap. She made me laugh and she didn't take things too seriously but she was also strong and didn't get discouraged.
As the attraction between them grows, Violet keeps waiting for Aldo to make a move. She's not going to let him deny them both the pleasure she knows they can find. The little games they end up playing with each other were delightful and had me kicking my feet.
There was just a little bit of suspense and some situations that remind us we are in an organized crime romance. Yet it wasn't heavy handed and kept the book moving. At the end of the day I was here for Aldo and Violet and it kept the focus there.
This book got right to the point and didn't drag things out. It really reminded me of the Perfectly Imperfect series by Neva Altaj and I would recommend this to lovers of that series. I look forward to Roman's book coming soon.
The audio performances were so well done. I read this book twice within two weeks and the audio kept me just as engaged the second time.
