A feminist, inclusive, sex-positive, fully consensual, intelligent, nuanced, hot as fuck erotic romance.

3.5 stars

This book feels like it was written in answer to FSoG. Seriously, there are SO many parallels. Down to minute details like the main character being Annie (short for Annabelle), the male lead Charles (hmmm...sort of similar to Ana (Anastasia) and Christian), and the fact that Charles calls Annie Miss Coffey, much like Christian calls Ana Miss Steele.

So, I hated FSoG with the all the ...more

How I feel about this book is perhaps a bit overly complex. On the one hand, it's well written, entertaining, and it got me thinking about things far more deeply than I thought I would. But on the other hand it wasn't what I was expecting. After picking it up and seeing that it was very science based, I wasn't expecting quite so much explicit sex.

Still though, I want to stress that it's still a great and emotionally deep story.

Erotica is a tricky genre for me. I know what I like & I know what I don't, and first and foremost, a work of erotica has to have good writing and a decent story. Some people can enjoy smut for the sex scenes alone - not me. Plot, or GTFO.

HOW NOT TO FALL is one of the better new adult/erotica works I've read over the last five years. It would probably make my top ten list, and would definitely make my top twenty. The writing is great, th ...more

People don’t fear heights. They don’t even fear the fall. They fear the consequences of the fall. The greater the height, the greater the consequences, and so the greater the fear.

Annabelle and Charles have A Thing. Well, at least Annabelle’s hoping Charles feels the mutual thing like she does. After two years of working together as student/postdoc, Annie’s ready to lay it all on the line and find out where Mr. Hot Brit Charles stands.

What prompted me to read this novel was listening to a podcast (featuring the author) in which she explained why she felt the need to write her version of 50SoG, the different thought processes she went through as she created what ended up being a duology, etc. FWIW, I think of 50SoG as poorly written porn that jumped to the top of the heap due to a mix of timing and v. astute use of the canon it’s ~inspired by~.

If I could I might really give this book 2.5 stars because How Not To Fall suffers from a lack of identity. I adored the beginning. Annie and Charles are brilliant and fascinating, and I enjoyed them immensely.

I may be slightly Eton-ist.

The fact that this hero went to Eton, compounded by the fact that he was born in 1988 and went to Cambridge and thus could have been any one of the Eton boys I met whilst I was there, has caused me to read and review this differently.

An Eton man with a progressive attitude to women and sex – "as if!" WHG exclaimed.

This is based on a sample size of about eight. So, like any prejudice, it’s wholly unreasonable, but, it is there. What can I say? I am not perfect – a shock to you all, I know. Anyway, take note: the impartiality of this review is impacted by my human failings.

This started out well, like, five stars well. It’s first person and the heroine Annie is a little bit delightful. A positive, funny, intelligent, intellectually confident and robust, feminist with a big crush on her post-doc supervisor (I think that's his title - American College education is a mystery to me). She is convinced they have A Thing and she is right. Ultimately she approaches him for a month of sex in the gap between the end of her degree and her leaving to go to Harvard medical school.

Charles, the object of her affection, is a hot, kind, intelligent, amazing man with some Massive Childhood Issues which translate into relationship issues. He’s also English, Eton educated and the heir to a Viscount. Charles was a bit much and a bit unbelievable. His issues felt somewhat tacked on to his character rather than integrated organically. Perhaps its possible for a person to have that much horror and tragedy in their background and barely reveal it (other than when they talk about it), but it didn’t sit that well with me. He’s also supposed to be the hot older man, but he’s only four years older than Annie and not yet 30 himself, so that felt a bit daft.

The story was up and down for me. The pre-amble to the sexual relationship was great. The introduction to the characters and the secondary characters was charming. When we moved on to the sexual relationship it was well-written and hawt, but I think there was too much sex (I know, I can hardly believe I am typing these words either). This book is sitting on the line between romance and erotica and I don’t think the balance is right. That said, Charles and Annie continue to be charming together and have fun, talky sex which is right up my street. Their romance develops wonderfully.

Then, at about 75%, Charles’s issues come in like a steam train and mow them down. There’s this whole thing about his ‘monster’ which was constantly mentioned and analysed and I never really got. Annie spends a lot of time crying and trying to make it work, when I sort of think someone as great as her should just have said - "you know what dude, your loss. I’m off to be a bad ass at Harvard and meet someone just as hot as you who isn’t an idiot.” (hashtag: bitchesgetstuffdone).

I have bought the second book (this one ends on a cliffhanger), because this was good, but it was also uneven. ...more

This is a tough one.
I both liked and didn't like this book.

First of all, I think is important to note that I did totally read this as a supposedly smart, feminist, progressive and consensual take on Fifty Shades of Grey. I say "supposedly" and I'll get to that later. The book draws some very obvious comparisons not to the "BDSM/rich boy/virgin girl" romance trope but to the actual FSoG book. And as such, I mostly judged it based on those correlations instead of its own merits as a separate stor ...more

So here I am at the end of a book filled with explicit sexual content and I’m tasked with writing a review while not sounding like a prude. In my defence, I am a fan of the genre. I have on occasion acquired a recorded performance or two from various sources. But I tend to like the short story format of the genre as opposed to the full-length novel. As such, I found How Not to Fall to be too much of a good thing.

Form a critical point-of-view, How Not to Fall is an imbalanced book. It’s impossibl ...more

Shelves: book-in-exchange-for-review, romance, netgalley, arc, new-adult, first-in-a-series

When I first read the blurb for this book, I was pretty intrigued. I liked the idea of a "brainy romance" ... pun not intended (the characters study brainy stuff). I was looking forward to some witty banter, some British slang and one imagined (very sexy) accent. Things didn't go as planned.

To be completely honest, I was surprised with how juvenile Annie (the main lady character) sounded. I was constantly asking myself if I had read her age correctly because instead of a graduating college student, she sounded like a high school student. She just didn't have the maturity that I was expecting and it put me off of the story a little bit because it was so damn distracting. I'm not sure if the author wanted Annie to seem so very young and immature just because she's a virgin or if this was unintentional but it was a turn off. AND this chick is studying doctor-y brain mumbojumbo and she says the words "A Thing" and "The Thing" at least 37 times when talking about her attraction to Charles. That doesn't sound like a lot because out of a crap-ton of words, it only showed up about three dozen times but I'll tell you this, it felt like it was on every single page. After the first dozen, I would just cringe every time Annie said it.

Since I seem to have an axe to grind with Annie, I might as well continue with the tar and feathering ... Annie has this self doubt that is irritating. She's in a constant stage of need for affirmations about herself and that also was irritating. She's constantly begging for compliments. This happened a lot more than a few dozen times. It literally WAS constantly. She needed to be told that she was attractive and desired and doing the right thing and desired ... it mostly centered around being told that she was worthy of getting laid. Like there is such a thing. I'm telling you, this Charles dude was more patient that he should have been because if I was a dude, I would have kicked her to the curb after the first 59 times of her asking me if I wanted her. I just found it very draining to read because I was irritated about the whole damn thing and then for Charles to NOT be irritated just irritated me even more.

There was one interesting thing was happening with Annie but it's more of a compliment to the author than the character ... Annie's inner monologues were interesting in the beginning of this book because they seemed to speak directly to the reader. I found that whole thing refreshing and I wanted more of it because it read like I was talking to a friend. But it didn't last long and when it was gone, I really missed it.

Since I'm on the subject of characters, Charles needs to be addressed. Ugh. I wanted to love this guy. And I did ... at first. I thought that he was a charming Englishman and I really loved him. But then stuff shifted. He went from this stuffy Englishman to a dirty-mouthed, hormone crazed dude that talked with this American vernacular. That would be all fine and dandy but that is not how he was portrayed at first. It was this massive switch when he started getting some action and it wasn't just in bed ... it was all the time after that first piece of nooky. It didn't help the book flow correctly and it really took something away from the entire novel because it didn't seem authentic. Either he's a stuffy Englishman type character or he's not. Can't go both ways. Some slightly British sayings were thrown in sporadically but it wasn't enough to redeem the Charles character for me.

The rest of the novel was slow. That could be attributed to the abundance of sex scenes, I think. There were SO. MANY. After a while, I just started skimming them just so that I could move on to the rest of the story and there was one scene that was like a damn dissertation ... it was AT LEAST 785 pages long.

By the end of the book, I was just done. I was done with the rock-climbing stuff, I was done with the medical/science stuff and I was more than a little excited for the book to just be over. It became boring from about the middle of the book and then when it ended in this horrible cliff-hanger, I was praising all things holy that I had reached the end.

Not the book for me and not the author for me, it seems. But as I've found myself so frequently lately, I'm once again in the minority. A lot of people have enjoyed this book and I'm one of the few that found issues in it. Maybe I'm too critical or maybe I just need to brush it off and move on to the next book on my list. Either way, good luck and I hope that you enjoy this one more than I did.

This first book in the series is in many ways a quick, sexy, erotica leaning romp with bright scientists dealing with a power and age dynamic. Sexily. At about the two-thirds mark though, the emotional undertone of the story breaks wide open and our main characters, Annie and Charles, are forced to reckon with his demons and her naiveté. They also have to deal with love, and what happens when it cannot be returned even where it exists.

I’m not clicking the spoilers button but I might say a few things that might reveal more than some are happy with. I’ll give you a heads up before hand.

I read this book blind based on a recommendation so I had no idea what I was getting into. Well, I knew it was a romance novel from the title and cover, but that was about it.

Things I liked about this book:

1) Smart, confident characters. I am a sucker for books where I have to look up a word or two, google a concept, or dredge up some old academic knowledge. This book tickled that itch but how!

2) Sexy consent. When characters have meaningful conversations about what they are prepared to do and they do it in an honest but sexy way, my faith in humanity is restored. (view spoiler)[ there is a lot of sex in this book. Like, a lot a lot. Again I read this book blind so I didn’t see that it was categorized as erotica. I enjoy a bit of smut in my books, but I don’t read a ton of erotica. However the way this author detailed those many (many) intimate moments was unlike anything I’ve ever read. It was both refreshing and enjoyable. It was not super shocking to discover after I finished the book that the author is a PhD, sex researcher, and sex educator. This makes me want to read her non-fiction book that is about sex, of course.

3) Flawed characters that grow and change. Now in this book , we didn’t see a ton of character development or flaws but there were some. Both Annie and Charles are brilliant, beautiful, and charming. Annie is as enthusiastic as she is guileless, this is both a good thing and a bad thing for me. Charles, we discover, has some baggage to work on, despite his many, many positive qualities. Annie might be a bit too idealized but I think her flaw is her naïveté. I have faith that book two will dig a little deeper and flesh out these characters a little more.

4) Strong writing. Boom. That’s it. She is a simply a good writer. I hope she writes more fiction when she isn’t PhDing it.

5) Humor. This book had me giggling at various parts and that is always a good thing.

6) This book made me think. Twenty four hours after I finished it, I’m still thinking about it, ruminating on it, figuring out how I feel about what the characters did, the choices they made, and the conflict they battled.

I really had to stop and think about things that I didn’t like about this book. I found myself nitpicking and thinking “well THAT would never happen” then I gave myself a mental bitch-slap because it is a novel, FICTION for Jane Austen’s sake! Sure, this book is not without its flaws, and it certainly isn’t going to be for everyone. It’ll be to soft for hardcore erotica fans and too much smexy times for the average rom-com nut (a group in which I am a proud member). However, if you want a fantasy that makes you think, take this one out for a spin.
