Blog Tour: London Falling by T.A. Foster

Blurb:

It’s London’s senior year and she only needs one class to graduate. She just didn’t expect her final assignment: fall in love.

Communication 224 has a reputation for giving out the most unique projects of the semester. When London James and Beau Anderson signed up for the class they had no idea they would be paired up together, much less spend an entire semester working on their final grade.

Professor Garcia tasks them to produce a study on the hit reality show, Love Match, a show about strangers falling in love on over the top dates. London and Beau decide to debunk the popular show’s fantasy portrayal of romance. Determined they can date the entire semester and not fall for each other, the classmates share blogs about their dates and start a website where everyone can follow their dating experiment. Resisting their growing attraction for one another is harder than they thought.  

London is in for the toughest class of her college career. The headstrong and success-driven student discovers there might be more important things in life than an A.

Meagan's Review:

I absolutely loved every moment of this book. It was witty and funny and sad and happy and lovable and shoot for the moon fall head over in heels in love with. After reading this book I wish I had a Communications 224 class to attend and have an awesome professor like the one in this story.

Okay so this book is about the story of London and Beau and their Comm 224 class. In this class they are paired as partners and have to watch a T.V. show Love Match and base a project and theory off of the show and either validate the show to prove that two people can fall in love or it's all fake. Honestly if I was doing this project I'd def take the stance that London and Beau did and say that the show is rigged and fake. So each week they plan a date to follow the show and mimic what happens to test different theories and blog about it. 

What they didn't expect was to begin to have feelings for one another. After each date you could see the feeling deepen and then it becomes difficult to tell reality apart from fiction. London and Beau have some interesting obstacles to overcome in this book and I'm rooting for them the entire time. I really like Beau, but will London and Beau be able to find their way? What about this project? London needs and A and if they fall for each other it will ruin their hypothesis. London plans on moving to Cali after graduation and Beau plans on going to law school not in Cali. Two different personalities and goals in life and they way they live them. However, they do have so many amazing moments together that would knock any girl off her feet and want to stay. But what will London choose? Especially after the home visit. I think the home visit was my favorite part of the entire book. 

I loved every moment about this book and I would def recommend this as your next book to read. T.A. is an amazing writer and makes you fall in love with the characters and their stories and I can't wait for the next book.

About the Author:

Meredith Wild picked up her first romance novel at the tender age of twelve, and shortly after put pen to word processor and made her first attempt at writing a love story inspired by those she so enjoyed reading well past her bedtime.

Her dream of writing took a back seat to college, parenthood and eventually entrepreneurship, which led her into the fast-paced and male-dominated high tech industry.  With enough life experience for a few lifetimes, she now devotes her hours to writing contemporary adult romance, with a hint of kink.

Her debut novel Hardwired tells the story of billionaire bad boy, Blake Landon, and the object of his obsession, strong-willed tech startup CEO, Erica Hathaway.

When she isn’t writing or mothering, Meredith can be found sunbathing with an adult beverage.

Meagan's Review:

Okay so this book pretty much starts off where the last one left. And I couldn't be more in love with Blake and Erica. This book too me through sooooo many emotions with Blake and Erica, Erica and her dad, Erica and the loser step-brother, Erica and her friends, Erica and co-workers, Blake and his family, Blake and his stupidity and so on. Like I said lots of emotions. And not only that this book is a lot darker as the depth of plots and twists and turns come to light. After reading this book I'm dying to see what will happen in the next. 

But back to this one. So Blake and Erica are finding their way with each other in this new relationship of theirs. But as they start to get more serious and closer together outside forces seem to be staking up against them. Of course the hackers from Blake's past are still at it and causing troubles, but the unexpected turn come when Erica has to dance with her icky step-brother and makes the entire situation uncomfortable. Furthermore, when Erica's dad questions her about the awkwardness she doesn't answer, but ends up leaving. The next day Erica finds out that the step-loser has offed himself. 

I struggled with this because he just didn't seem the type and then the truth comes out and I"M SHOCKED. Literally socked out of my mind and then the slight violence that followed angered me severally. And then the threats came and Erica feels like the walls are closing in her and she makes some very rash decisions. Then more deception and greed and heartache. Will Blake and Erica ever find their way back to each other? Will Erica be able to do what she wants to do? What about her relationship with her father? Who will she be able to trust? Will Blake be an arrogant ass and back to the playboy self? Or will he fight to win and be with Erica? So many questions that are answered in this book and again I'm curious to see what will be in store for the next one. I love the dark story that Meredith wrote for this book. She's a brilliant and talented writer and you can't help but get hooked from the first page. I highly highly recommend this book as the next one on your shelf to read.

Meagan's Review:

Okay so I'm not sure where to start with, with this book. This was something different for me to read. And honestly I'm still confused. Okay so now I will tell you.....I am all about romance and happy endings in any shape or form. I'm always rooting for the underdog and again happily ever afters. But again this book left me confused and not really sure of my feelings. Okay so I know that love is normally unconventional and never follows any type of plan, but this book left me with questions about feelings and common sense. 

Okay so our book starts out with Kate picking up her youngest daughter and taking her away from the thug court. Well on her way back her shirt rides up and she gets a cat call from a guy on the thug court. And as she turns around to say something to him, she is struck speechless when she stares into his eyes. They have this moment and then later he is opening the door for her and her two daughters and walks with them to the park. Okay now for me my mother instinct kicks in. OMG what woman let's some strange kid (by the way he's only 22) who looks like he's in a gang, hangs out on the thug court, would let them help their daughter into a swing. In New York no less? So this was my first red flag. But as the story continues it's a little later before these two see each other again. So Kate and Jaylee meet again exchange names and then OMG she does something even more taboo, she invites him back to her house. OMG you don't even know this guy. Again he looks like he's in a gang, you know nothing about him...other than you have a  name and he hangs out on the thug court. 

Turns out that Jaylee is actually really good with the girls, but still, and him and Kate have a few moments and then he leaves. Ohhh and I should mention that Kate is married to a man for like 10 years and ohh he's an attorney. Throughout the entire book I'm curious as to what type of law he practices, but you don't find out till towards the end. Anyways Jaylee and Kate go salsa dancing and from here things get interesting. He ends up taking her wedding rings and keeps them and they definitely have some sexual chemistry and I can understand why Kate is into Jaylee. Now while age has never been a factor for me with love, for me it's odd because Kate is 42, married with two kids. She isn't some 28 or 32 year old without taking actions that affect other people. Jaylee is 22 and yeah.....I'm still not fully sure what he does, other than he dabbles in some illegal stuff, but he's not all bad.  When Jaylee drops her off that night he tells her that she isn't to have sex with her husband because all of her turned-on-ness is his to take and not her husbands. 

Anyways these two eventually begin a somewhat relationship and it get's interesting. She becomes more careless with herself and eventually Kate's husband finds out. He still wants to make it work with her and then he also pretty much tells her that if she leaves she won't see her daughters again. From here things get even more interesting. This is when my "dective/suspicious" side comes out. I begin to question a lot of things that happen and how they happen and why they happen. And my questions start to get answered by the end of the book. I was hooked with this book from the very beginning and had to know how it would finish. And OMG the cliff hanger....ahhhhh I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. I want to know what choices Kate will follow. How involved is her husband? What will happen to Jaylee? I can't give you too many more questions because it would give away the end of this book and honestly it's worth reading. I would definitely recommend this book for something new and different to read...a different take on romance and one that makes you question everything.
