Books Like The Fall Risk

Read more

Julia Whelan and Connor Crais keep this short forced-proximity romance moving at a clip that suits its 2-hour runtime — Whelan in particular has a natural contemporary rhythm that makes banter feel unrehearsed, and the dual- structure gives the Valentine's Day setup an actual back-and-forth rather than just one perspective reacting to another. Every pick here is by Whelan, several by the same Abby Jimenez pairing, and the rest share that contemporary voice and emotional directness.
