Unexpected fall review and release blitz, Kaylee Ryan

This was an okay book. I loved the first book in this series, it’s one of my favourites, but I wish these books were true standalones. Yes, we know Dawn and Mark have a history, but we don’t see that. We don’t even see the start of their relationship. I wanted that, if, for nothing else, than a connection to the title. From what we’re shown, this isn’t an unexpected fall for Mark, it’s a gradual one that’s developed over years. I think that’s what also bothers me, is that this relationship takes years to get to the point where we pick it up. What the heck was happening all that time? It’s been made to seem in other books that this was a forgone conclusion. Apparently it wasn’t. Even if more than half the book is them going on about how scared they are to tell each other their feelings.That being said, I did like the twists and turns this book takes, even if at one point I hated Dawn. 
But I can’t get over the chosen starting point for this book. It’s a solid book but a little disappointing.
