Everett had thought his life was perfect. They weren’t close and Ev always believed his grandfather didn’t approve of his lifestyle as a gay man. Everett can’t imagine why he was asked for. When he is told that his Grandpa Henry, in O’Leary, New York, has a broken leg and has asked for Ev to come and help him. And it was a darn good mystery with a twist I didn’t see coming.Įverett Maior is twenty nine years old and is a widower. I was also surprised at the mystery element. Of loving someone completely, losing them, and the struggle to move on. It dealt with the sensitive subject of loss. Even though I read the blurb, I don’t think I was fully prepared for this book. I have to admit that it’s the cover that drew me. I’ve had this book on my to read list for a long time. The Fall is book one in the Love in O’Leary series by May Archer. There wasn't quite enough relationship development on page for me to believe in a forever for these men. The Fall ends on a happy note, and there's a bonus scene that serves as an epilogue, but I'd call the ending a HFN. Self-centered, bitchy women aren't funny. She was obnoxious in the prequel and annoying as fuck in this story. Honestly, had it not been for the ridiculous resolution of the mystery, I might have rated this book 4 stars, but the whole thing was so far fetched, I couldn't even.Īlso, Cal's sister-in-law Karen has to go. There were far too many secondary characters (I couldn't keep track of all the hot O'Leary men), not a lot of steam, and a fairly obvious mystery surrounding the disappearance of a camper. He tells us he's devastated, but the emotion didn't come through in the writing.Įv was snarky and unwilling to commit, even though it was Si who was supposed to be the commitment-phobe (or so we were told I never saw any evidence of this). Some authors can pull it off, but it got old quickly here, especially since I never felt Ev's grief. Ev lost his husband a year prior and thinks that being with Si is tantamount to cheating on his deceased spouse. Unfortunately, I didn't much like Everett. He said something stupid once and apologized, but he was understanding and patient.
Silas, who's a police officer, was a likable character. The small town setting was charming, and Everett's grandpa Hen was hilarious. I loved May Archer's The Way Home series and also enjoyed The Date, the prequel to the Love in O'Leary series, which introduced us to the town of O'Leary and featured Cal the baker and Ash the SEAL (two of the numerous secondary characters present in this story).
