Getting Out of Hand (Sapphire Falls 1)-- Erin Nicholas


I really love this whole series and while they are not directly connected storyline-wise there is definite overlap or spoilers. So best start with this book before venturing further into the series.

What better way to go to your high school reunion, and back to a small town you have avoided since you graduated, than by being a huge success with multiple masters degrees and a PhD? Most people would want that, but not Mason Reilly. He hated his time in Sapphire Falls and even more than that he hated how the people there made him feel. He was a social outcast, too smart for his own good and had about as many social skills as a slug. But he was a good kisser. His reunion is fast approaching and he is adamant not to show up, especially since they are also looking at him to fund their newest thrill.

The town of Sapphire Falls needs Mason Reilly, but maybe the only person who really knows how much is Adrianne Scott. She was the one who worked up his profile, knows the minutia about his life/career and is attracted to him.  The attraction is mutual, for mason Reilly he never has felt attraction like this before. The type of craving that makes you want to do....things. Dirty things-- and I'm not talking about farming.

Like any relationship, they have their ups and downs. Especially since the shops they aware hoping Mason will fund will directly impact Adrianne. Mason is determined to win her love even without the monetary options. He decides that it is high time to move back home, leaving all his work and meetings with the Vice President behind. Of course, that's crazy. In comes the lovely bi-sexual Lauren. She might be my favorite if it weren't for what she convinces Adrianne to do.

Lauren and her big brain state that Mason is letting down people and will continue to do so as long as he loves Adrianne. So she goes and ruthlessly breaks his heart. Granted he knew something was up with her but it didn't take the sting away.

See here is one of my pet peeves; I don't understand why adults do this. They could have a rational conversation that won't result in (as much) pain or they could be underhanded and evil. Why do they choose to be evil? I mean seriously?! Mason Reilly in my mind is a more rugged Spencer Reid. Who would want to break his heart?! It’s just not fair. Granted she realizes that she does love him and headquarters. Still. It's just not fair.

But it is still a happily ever after, and if you are thinking I gave away spoilers, I glossed over the premise but did not even cover the steaminess that occurs. Which, delectably, is the best part. I fell in love with Sapphire Falls, hopefully you will too.
