*** This book has been updated to include an update in editing as well as about 20,000 additional words ***

Three months after finding her fiancé in bed with another woman, Chloe Carver decides she needs a change and relocates from New York to London.

Her hope is that she will become more daring and impulsive. What she doesn’t expect is Jack, her hot rocker neighbor, who manages to turn her from a confident young woman into a bumbling fool at the sight of his crooked smile and gorgeous blue eyes. She makes the decision to avoid him at all costs, which seems like it could possibly work until she realizes that she is the new publicist for his band.

Sparks quickly fly between Chloe and Jack and they jump head first into a relationship. Add in the never ending antics of Jack’s band mates, a high maintenance actress and a playboy surfer and Chloe’s life becomes more exciting than she ever thought it could be. Just when things seem to being going so well, a surprise visit from Chloe’s ex will bring everything to a screeching halt.

Will Jack and Chloe’s relationship be strong enough to survive or will other factors be enough to tear them apart?

This was a cross between YA and New Adult maybe?

I don't think it even knows either. But Chloe meets a rock God named Jack and from there on miscommunication and misunderstandings ensue. She had a fiance she caught cheating and he tries to come back and Jack thinks she's still engaged but she's not, she sees him with another woman, or wait, does she? She leaves to go home and he goes looking for her but by that point I think I checked out. It does have an HEA, no cheating between the main couple, and it's free in Kindle. I think I am going to pass on the other hand members though. Rockstar romances are just not my favorite. I think this is a new author too.

This book was cute and I loved reading it. Chloe she is...well... she gets flustered around Jack and I found that refreshing in other books I read the gals are all bossy and confident, "I went to casually toss my notepad on the table and ended up throwing it on the floor. I looked up and the four of them sat there with huge \grins on their faces." Jack he's just a respectful rocker boy, "no you're not. Not by yourself at this time of night. I've got my truck. I'll give you a ride." Jack he knows how to clear the air with Chloe on where a situation is, "Chloe, if I was just being nice to you, we'd both be in jeans, in my flat, with a pizza and a couple pints of beer." Of course there are ups and downs, but the book has a HEA and I loved it.

Fall into my Heart is a couple hours read that you won’t want to put down. I feel that most female readers will be able to relate to what Chloe has been through, which makes her character super easy to love. Right away Chloe meets Jack and right away you want things to work out for the best, simply for her sake.
I really disliked Chloe’s actress client and I wanted to crawl through my kindle and hit her every time she talked. I found it ridiculously accurate how some females do not care whatsoever when a man they are interested in has a girlfriend. I find it really hard lately to find a character that I hate so much I want to beat them. :)
For such a short book, I wasn’t disappointed by the ending. Usually I feel that the author didn’t give enough of an ending. I actually thought the ending was amazing and can’t wait to hear tidbits of information about Chloe and Jack in the next part of the series (which I’m guessing will be about Abby and Tyler).
I really enjoyed this story, and while there were some spelling and grammar issues, I don’t believe there was enough to really get in the way of the story. I feel that given the opportunity Rebecca Elise will right an amazing #2 for this story. Overall, my rating for Fall into my Heart is 4 stars! I look forward to the rest of the Subzero series.
To Rebecca Elise, if you ever read this, I would be extremely interested in gaining a signed copy of this book if you ever decide to print the book! :) Congrats on such a great story and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

Not terrible, but not great either. The plot was cute and I liked the characters. However, I feel like the author could have done so much more with this story. It feels like it's just not polished enough. There is A LOT of time spent by the protagonist figuring out what to wear and it really bothered me that a 25 year old character kept acting 12. She was not professional and I'm still not sure what her job really entailed except answering the phone and listening to messages. I get that she had just left a serious relationship, but she moves on awfully quick to Jack. Speaking of which, we never get to truly know him. There is little development of his character. I think the novel would have moved better for me had it not been in first person point of view. I would have loved to have known what Jack and the other characters were thinking. Again, not a bad novel. It is a good summer or beach read as it is light and not too scandalous.

[Tia · Rating 3 out of 5]

CUTE! ^-^ I thought this novel was sweet and the characters were pretty awesome. Jack annoyed me to the fullest, there is nothing in the world more important than trust in a relationship and he had no trust for her. I'm happy that we got a happy ending but at the same time, I think she should of made Jack beg on his knees.

[Mary Fyock · Rating 2 out of 5]

Authors first book. Author would have done better if she wrote more about the heroine's profession instead of her spending most of her time looking in her closet deciding what to wear.
I couldn't decide if this was a YA book, or written by a YA. More research was needed by the author.

[Tori · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute light hearted character driven romance between a musician and his publicists.

[Melissa Levine · Rating 1 out of 5]

First off, there were SO MANY grammatical errors! This is a major pet peeve of mine. I never understand how an author can put out a book with so many damn errors. I swear it's like they had no one read it over prior to the release.

Secondly, the story was just boring over all. There was nothing exciting happening, just one blah day after another. I wasn't really a fan of the way this story was written either, I can't really put my finger on it but it was almost like reading someones diary or something.

Also all the describing of things like: what clothes were being put on or what make up characters were using...way too much! It's good to have descriptions so a reader can get an idea as to what the character might really look like but this was too much for me. It was more annoying than anything.

The weird robotic dialog wasn't great either. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the authors first book. Again, this would prove my point of not having someone else read it prior to release. If I put something out like this, I would be embarrassed. I guess it's more the fact that she wrote and had this published, more than the actual content? Maybe?

In the end, I didn't like this story at all. It just had nothing happening. I don't get all the high ratings either...

Questions/Comments:

Why was that it that no one really seemed to have any kind of accent in London? Yeah, there were a few times where different terms (lift= elevator) were used, or someone like Tyler would say something kind of questionable. But of course Chloe has to act like a complete weirdo because she has no clue what's happening. Usually when a story takes place in a different country, hence a different way of speaking, you're going to notice this in the story. Not really here though.

So Chloe arrives at her new apartment that had been chosen by the company. Yet, she seems to have no urge to look around. Is something like that possible? She describes the living room only because that's the main room, but nothing else really.

After looking through her stuff for food, she decides that will have to do because she doesn't know where the grocery store is. Does she not have a phone with internet access? Same thing can be said when she's wondering where the mall is.

Do people still get junk mail? As in the kind advertising penis enlargements?

Chloe is starting her new job and doesn't want to look like a total bore. So why does she seem to stick with tan, white and cream colored clothing? If that's not boring than I'm not sure what is.

At one point Chloe realizes it's only 4:30. Her old boss ends up calling her and when she's done talking it's suddenly 5:10. Sorry but there was no way she was on the phone that long.

What was with Chloe being so stupid? All her clumsiness and whatnot? It's not that hard to walk without falling all the time.

Chloe ends up getting her hair done and ends up with a punk rock kinda hairdo. Yet, no one seems to even notice this. Strange.

"I'll have the shrimp scampi with a side of meatballs." Um...what kind of restaurant is this again? That has to be the weirdest order of food I've ever heard.

How old are the Chloe and Jack again? The fact that he has to ask Chloe if she wants to be his girlfriend...IDK, just seemed kinda weird.

Jack ends up taking Chloe away for the weekend after their first date. What exactly was the point of this? Just to get to know each other a tiny bit more? I mean it didn't even seem like they did anything in the cabin. Definitely not have sex, which seemed strange.

Okay, I forgot Jacks one friends name with the red crew cut but, a one point he ends up "running a hand through his flaming red hair." Um...the author does know that crew cuts are usually pretty short right?

Another time Jocalyn is all excited about having Thanksgiving with Chloe and friends. She comments "...my first Thanksgiving dinner!" Huh? This is her first time having a Thanksgiving dinner? Again, not surprisingly no one comments about that.

When Jack runs into Connor...what can I say there, STUPID!? Why does he believe everything Connor says? Has Chloe acted in any way like she just wanted a fling? I wouldn't say so. It was just weird how he acted. And the fact that Tyler thinks Chloe should just give him some time...no sense there. Why give him time to think about his relationship with Chloe when he doesn't even know the truth?

Moving on, Chloe goes back home for Christmas. She's all upset about Jack and whatnot Christmas day so she wants to go out and do something spontaneous. Skydiving. Um...Not I've never been skydiving before but I'm 100% sure that is not something you can just go and do, spur of the moment. Not unless you've already done it before, no someone or have a license or whatever. So the fact that the author put that in? Um...yeah.

At the mall Chloe ends up wanting a pair of boots. When she finds out that they cost A LOT of $$$, she still ends up getting them. "You will just have to wear these boots every day for the rest of your life..." I don't get why she got them in the first place if she didn't want to spend that much money. It's not she had originally gone looking for them.

So Chloe is offered her old job back in New York. Why exactly? I never got the feel like Chloe was a great publicist. Yet, she's offered more than twice the amount that she'd been making before?

What kind of jobs do Abby, Nick, Noelle and whoever else that seems to have a lot money, do for a living? It's like people are flying back and forth from the US to London, constantly buying things and all...I don't get it.

Lastly...the ring that Jack chose for Chloe? BORING! He's like a rock star or what have you and gets a typical, boring type of ring? I would have thought there'd been more color or something.

This was bearable. Chloe transferred to the London office from New York after her fiancé cheated on her. She’s meant to be a publicist and has 3 clients given to her when she starts - a band, an actress and a pro surfer. It seems the job of a publicist is to do not much at all as Chloe spends the majority of her time picking outfits out her wardrobe. The actress Julissa is so self centred you want to reach into the book and shake her. The surfer has a huge ego but not as annoying as the actress. One of the band members Jack is our hero in the story and actually lives in the same building as Chloe. They start a relationship however there’s a bit of misunderstanding around Chloe’s engagement status. It all works out in the end though.

I wasn’t particularly engaged with any of the characters and thought the book could have been slightly better developed in terms of the sun plot lines especially.

[Morgan Rygh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just got done reading, “Fall Into My Heart by Rebecca Elise”. Chloe moved to London and that’s when she finds Jack. They start to talk and get to know each other a little bit, but then they run into some conflict. I recommend this book to young adults and the genre is a romance.

[Lesley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chloe was recovering from the shock of finding her fiance in their bed with another woman and decided a chance of scenery would be a good thing so she took a new job as a publicist and relocated to England. shortly after arriving in England she meets sexy musician Jack, her neighbor and client and feels an instant connection to him. But what will happen when cheating ex fiance makes a trip across the pond in hopes of winning Chloe back.

I loved this book.Chloe was such a realistic heroine. She was trying to move on from a bad situation but she was not the epitome of calm cool and collected. She is clumsy, in an endearing way. She often blurts things out and often embarrasses herself but every misstep and misspoke word keeps Jack coming back for more.

the only thing I would change in this book would be for the author to provide alternating perspectives so we could get inside Jack's head and know how he feels about everything as it happens. With that being said, the author does offer a short companion novella, designed to follow Fall Into My Heart called Surrender my love, which does give Jack's side of the story.

there is also a 2nd book in the Subzero series that focuses on Chloe's sister and a fellow bandmate of Jake's and I look forward to reading it.

[Deb Hanson · Rating 4 out of 5]

what a sweet story of love at 1st sight, even if it was the most embarrassing introduction.
After finding her fiance in bed with another girl Chloe Carver moves to London as a publicist to a bitch of an actress, a playboy surfer and a hot new band. little foes she realize the men she met when she climbed out of the cab is indeed Jack and his band mates who is also her new neighbor. Sparks fly between Jack and Chloe and they soon find themselves in a full on relationship until Chloe's ex returns and turns their lovely little world upside down. Jack is pissed and avoids Chloe and poor Chloe has no idea what is going on. As Christmas comes and she returns home single wondering if returning to her dream job in London is right for her even though her sister has fallen for fellow band mate, she must decide if returning to Jack is what she wants or return to her old life in New York... Jack has his own plans and I must say I was not disappointed with the ending...
I look forward to more in this series, with the fun characters excellent story this could go on forever.

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got this book when it first came out, I hesitated to read because of all the negative reviews. However, in saying that it was not lacking, and it did not sound like a bunch of 5 years old's. This was a good story, regardless what some of the critics are writing. You be the judge, read it for yourself.

It's about a woman who left a relationship moved to London and met a bass player. It's her story, plain and simple. It wasn't so much about her job, but about relationships.

The only thing I would say is that the author needs a good editor, because there were some typos but honestly it did not take away from the story.
I gave it fives stars because it was good.
OOPS, I almost forgot one more thing, the story didn't just cut off either it is a complete story. Read the next one and find out what Jack thinks of the whole debacle, regarding his and Chloe's relationship.

[Dianne · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.25 stars. Ok so this book was not hot, sexy, or really romantic…and it did not seem like it was a book for adults whatsoever. The character’s seemed like they were in high school or something; even though they all have major careers and finished college. After a while, the book had gotten really cheesy because of it. I’ve read more young adult books that acted more like a grown up book than this one. I felt like the author must have been in high school when she wrote this. The book also didn’t have any steam…which I don’t anticipate in every book but this book could have definitely used it to seem more mature. Although this book was adorable, it was just not what I expected. Kind of disappointed. 

[Rebekah Daniels · Rating 3 out of 5]

First off, I have to say that this turned out to be a cute story, and that is the main reason it got 3 stars from me. I loved the developed characters, even if they did seem a little immature at times. It took a a while for me to get pulled into the story, but it did eventually happen. It made me smile.
The problem I had was how detailed the story was. It explained food, clothes, every emotion, every thought, and everything was in great detail. The author spent forever explaining something, only for me to find that it had nothing to do with the story. Sometimes I thought she was writing stuff just to fill in gaps in the story. It got better the second half of the book, though.

[Caro · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a pretty good freebie. I liked the characters and the story line. I wouldn't mind reading this again, but more for something to read or just a low-key relaxing kinda read. There were some slow moving parts that really was kinda boring feeling, but mostly it was just a little fun to read and see what was going to happen next. I smiled, laughed a little, got a little warm, was a little exasperated and aggravated, wanted to definitely smack her upside her 'pretty' little head, and left the book with a small smile for the happy ending. Pretty good deal. Enjoy

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the book because I knew that Chloe and Jack were sleeping together and I didn't have every detail spelled out for me. I get it! I liked how she dealt with work and work clients and especially how she forgave. It was simple and not the usual hot read. I would of liked more of a feeling of being in London but I've been there three times so I'm just missing it a little. I think it just needed to be fleshed out more overall. Oh, I loved the characters of the band and her dad.

[Tammy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fun read, Chloe decides to make a big change after catching her actor fiance cheating on her. She takes a new job in London and sets out to rediscover herself. First day she meets a motley crew of fellows and totally embarrasses herself. Her first day at the PR firm she works for she finds out this Band is her client. She had a couple of terrible clients. We don't hear a lot about England in the book. But the romance between Chloe and Jack is great. Fun read.

I didn't plan of finishing this book but it did draw me in on the 3rd chapter. that's a good thing to have happen. I like the characters, a little strange at first but they came along as well. I did enjoy Clhoe and Jack. I also e.hi yes the holiday of it.

Amazing

I won this book in a contest. I've never heard of this author before, and I'm glad that I won. I absolutely love this book. Love the way it flowed and how romantic the rocker is. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
