Synopsis
I grew up sick.
Let me clarify.
I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.
Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.
When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.
Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.
Secrets that cost us everything to keep.
That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.
Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.

Celcia was a good character. I definitely saw her 19 years, but I also appreciated that she seemed to learn from her mistakes, and by the end of the book, she was stronger and, in my opinion, a more likable character. Sean was
The audiobook was good. I did feel like most of the men in the book sounded similar, but I really can’t complain about Joe Arden’s voice at all. I enjoyed that this was done in duet narration because I don’t think it would have been the same with just one female narrator. I did think perhaps Maxine Mitchell sounded a bit too old for the character, but I enjoyed her performance, and it wasn’t anything I couldn’t get past.
