I enjoyed this one a lot. It was a fantastic read. This isn't surprising as every book I have read by this author has been fantastic. That said, it was also my least favorite of the series. There was just something about this couple I couldn't connect with. Both main characters came across a little "meh" to me. Especially Jacob who I found a bit flat personality wise. But it happens. Not every book can be a home run and like I said even with that issue I still found it an enjoyable read.

She crafts these intricate stories full of romance, mystery and suspense that always leave me awed with her talents. By the time I got to the end of Falling Under, I was speechless.

Jacob King, ex Green Beret, a Anyone who knows me knows that I’m an LRJ fanatic. A freaking fiend. I have to read everything she touches because she’s just that amazing. She crafts these intricate stories full of romance, mystery and suspense that always leave me awed with her talents. By the time I got to the end of Falling Under, I was speechless. It took me a while to even be able to put my thoughts to paper. That’s how you know an author has grabbed you by the gullet, in the best of ways.

Jacob King, ex Green Beret, accomplished assassin, and now a key member of Walker Security, has been tasked with watching the back of one of the most stubborn people he’s ever met. In fact, Jewel Carpenter, or should I say Detective Jewel Carpenter, may be just as stubborn as he is. Used to handling things her own way and needing absolute control, these two butt heads while working on her protection order. Their instant chemistry certainly doesn’t help matters. This case becomes only more complicated when it’s discovered that a simple threat is really someone stalking and haunting Jewel. She has become the clear target and Jacob will stop at nothing to make sure she remains safe, even if that means moving the target to his own back.

I loved these two characters so much. Jacob came off as aloof, cold and lethal, however, his humanity and vulnerability couldn’t help but shine through when he was with Jewel. She brought out a side of him that he wasn’t intimately familiar with and it was so fun to watch his thaw. As for Jewel, I’m a huge fan of strong female leads and I admired her dogged determination and relentless search for truth and justice. Together, these two were phenomenal. They bolstered each other’s strength and recognized each other’s weaknesses, all while being the person that the other could count on. I absolutely loved how Jacob was able to draw Jewel out of her shell. They each suffered so much pain and loss, but together they were able to see to the other side and that was a huge part of what made them magical to me.

If you love an intense, sexy and adrenaline pumping action read, you don’t want to miss the ones that Lisa Renee Jones seems to create like a wand-wielding, romantic suspense producing wizard!

Gutsy, suspense filled romantic stories are what she does best.

Just when you think she can’t come up with better characters than she has brought in the past Walker Brothers stories, Lisa Renee Jones turns around and proves me wrong.

In Falling Under we get to meet Jacob. An oh-my-God hot hunk of a man who has past, a secret one at that. He is matched perfectly with Detective Jewel Carpenter in every aspect. From the tough talk and argumentative banter to their heat between the sheets ...more

Jewel Carpenter is married to her career as a Detective on a New York City police force. She's spent the last two years determined to not only be as great as her Uncle was, but also to solve the many cold cases that he left behind. When her CEO father brings in the Walker Security team, she thinks its a bit much, but the ominous letters that target her and the odd gifts left at her apartment finally make her accept the company of none other than Jacob King. The former Green Beret turned security Jewel Carpenter is married to her career as a Detective on a New York City police force. She's spent the last two years determined to not only be as great as her Uncle was, but also to solve the many cold cases that he left behind. When her CEO father brings in the Walker Security team, she thinks its a bit much, but the ominous letters that target her and the odd gifts left at her apartment finally make her accept the company of none other than Jacob King. The former Green Beret turned security is as handsome as he is big, consuming her thoughts and all her space. They bicker as much as they flirt, lusting after one another as protection turns into feelings and feelings bring them even more danger. Jewel wants to solve her media-crazed case and find her stalker, Jacob wants to protect her during it all. As the threats get darker, they find themselves threatened by both a crazed man and by their desire for something more.

"She's right. I feel it. Trouble is coming and it's not gentle. It's fierce. It's angry. It's deadly. And it's definitely two steps ahead of us."

I wasn't sure what to expect from Falling Under, it's definitely the usual fare from Lisa Renee Jones, but also a bit different with our heroine, Jewel, being a hardass detective. She is all serious all the time, with her career the focus of her life. It turns this book into a more detective-mystery novel than a suspenseful romance. We spend much of the novel learning about Jewel's current case, about the unsolved cases of her now-deceased friends and family, and about her drive to know Jacob and the cold case he refuses to let her know about. While it has a lot of LRJ's hot and smutty scenes, it's less romantic than I think I'm used to. I did appreciate that we spent less time running in Falling Under and more time facing every single situation head on. Jacob King didn't have as many chapters in his POV, but like the book suggests of him, he did manage to take up much of my thoughts while I read. He's the most complex of the characters, less open book and the one holding his past behind closed doors. I felt like he had a lot of character development and definitely changed the most in the novel, finding a way to become a part of a we rather than just an I.

"She sees things. She gets things. She gets me like I do her, even if she doesn't realize that yet."

Falling Under is a standalone Walker Security novel and another opportunity for readers who love LRJ's characters to see them all interacting together. I loved getting a fresh story about one of the men, but I really enjoyed seeing how the others were doing and their women too. I was less caught up in the romance than I have been in the past though, I just didn't feel the chemistry between Jacob and Jewel. For me, it felt like time was of the essence and it seemed like a good fit, there was no bonding when things were a little calmer. I loved how it ended, how it all worked out in the end, but I would've loved the lengthy novel to have given me more feelings for these two.

"I don't want to need anyone. She doesn't want to need anyone, and yet, here we are."

Falling Under is an action-packed, suspenseful standalone in the Walker Security series. It's impossible to be bored when reading a Lisa Renee Jones novel, especially when it involves the men of Walker Security. If you like your novels sexy and fast paced, pick this one up, for sure!

Fighting can be fun and maybe even sexy but these two were too hard,to controlled , this wasn’t fun or sexy these were two ppl fighting constantly almost for control and dominance ..
This are two ppl soooo closed off nit even wind or cold or rain can get thru most of the time ....
While I can understand the foolish and even stupid need to think this will save you pain and heartache, I seriously want to snack that stupid idiot Jewel upside the head when I had to hear her thinking (total BS!) that if she had had just more control her friend would be alive, right, because your like what God now and your control can control who lives and dies ?
Sighs, I know we all can tell ourselves stupid stuff like that when we are hurting but I just didn’t like her at all... I detest characters who (especially females) act like the can NEVER lean on anyone or let anyone help them in order to be strong ,
No that’s NOT STRONG that’s stupid!
No one is invincible,we ALL need help and we ALL end someone to lean on and have our backs to turn your back in that or refuse it is just pride...
Honestly Jewel was wound soo tight and soo closed off I couldn’t find anything to like about her and all Jacob seemed to do was react to her ...
I can’t recommend this book but I will gladly admit this is just my opinion , because I didn’t like either and could make it past 40% ,I hated the MC’s tooo much to continue ..
I liked Asher’s book even though Sierra got in my nerves at times I really enjoyed their story but these two ?
Two cats fighting in a fence would have been more fun...
I just needed to get my feelings out soo I could move on....

"Mr. Thinks-He-Can-Save-The-World-Better-Than-Anyone-Else and look better than most doing it."

I'm so addicted to this crazy, funny, talented and badass Walker Security family. As each of the team finds love the family grows and they get crazier and funnier. But don't let that fool you, they might have a sense of humor, but you don't want to get on their bad side. Each has their own special skill that contributes to the total package that they offer their clients.

I've been looking forward to "Mr. Thinks-He-Can-Save-The-World-Better-Than-Anyone-Else and look better than most doing it."

I'm so addicted to this crazy, funny, talented and badass Walker Security family. As each of the team finds love the family grows and they get crazier and funnier. But don't let that fool you, they might have a sense of humor, but you don't want to get on their bad side. Each has their own special skill that contributes to the total package that they offer their clients.

I've been looking forward to getting to know the silent and surly Jacob. It's those broken bad boys that intrigue me the most and I knew he had some bad stuff in his past to make him the way he is. I should have known it would a strong woman that would bring him out of his shell. Someone to push his buttons and make him care enough to put himself out there. They don't call him Tin Man for nothing. But after the fiery Jewel butted heads with him, refusing to let him be the boss, something that had been dead inside him started to wake up. "I don't know what the hell she's doing to me, but there's a heart in my chest I forgot existed."

Jewel is tough. She has to be to survive as a detective in the homicide division. She's the queen of snark and I find her highly amusing as she banters with the men in her department. She gives better than she gets and they respect her. The only man that she will back down for his her father. She argues when he tells her that he hired Walker Security after receiving a death threat. But eventually, she agrees to cooperate to please her father. But she's not happy about it. How is she supposed to do her job with a babysitter tagging along? You can imagine her surprise when Jacob tells her he's been following her for 4 days. How is that possible? She's good at her job and makes a point to be aware of her surroundings. It really bothers her that, The man is gorgeous and the size of a treehouse, and I never knew he was there."

That's when things get really good. Jewel and Jacob are both used to being in control and neither of them wants to let go of that. They respect each other's talents and abilities, but working together is a challenge when it comes to making decisions if they are not in agreement. That's when the verbal sparring happens and they get hot under the collar... and other places. Their chemistry is undeniable and eventually gets out of control in the best of ways. That's one area they have no problem with, they are in complete agreement in the bedroom.

Jacob doesn't tell her, but since he shares his thoughts with me, I know that her sass turns him on. He likes it when she argues with him and says, "You need a name tag that says: Controlling Asshole to warn people." He tries to keep his rigid robot reputation going, but she cracks his shell and catches him smiling or smirking occasionally. It's obvious to them, and to me, that they have a connection. They've both suffered so much loss and death is not a stranger to them. They have similar approaches to investigating and seem to understand each other without words. Even their 'spidey senses' are in tune when danger is near. But Jacob has BIG secrets in his past that catch up with him and all the danger they sense is not coming from the same place. It turns out that though he was hired to protect her, it might be him that puts her in danger.

The suspense is intense when you don't know who to be afraid of. The danger is real and the villain is playing games without making the rules clear. If they make a wrong move someone could die, and "dying sucks."

Have I got your attention now? Sounds good, huh? Let me tell you, it is! I don't know how many books there will be in this series, but I hope many more. Surely Walker Security can just keep hiring more sexy men to keep us entertained, right? Pretty please? I know there are at least a few more for sure and I can't wait to get to know them better. The line forms here... ...more

Asher calls him ‘the Tin Man’ and with good reason but one look at Jewel Carpenter and everything he knows about himself and the world he inhabits, flies out the window.
Jewel is a homicide detective who deals with death and murderers every day. She doesn’t take shit from anyone, she strong-willed and gives as good as she gets, she keeps the outside world at arms length, she works best, deals with her job best, by being alone. But, when her father receives numerous threatening notes directed at Jewel, he hires Walker security to help guard safeguard her life. The man tasked with this job is Jacob.
Jewel refuses to believe her life is in danger, refuses to have Jacob around her.
Her dad insists and soon Jewel can’t take a step without the tough, hard-bodied and too sexy for her comfort, ex-military man behind her.
Jewel has a killer to catch, but it soon becomes apparent that she has a stalker too.
When the threats become all too real, Jewel has to face up to reality, someone has been killing people close to her. But, why?
There’s a lot of twists and turns to this story, the attraction between Jewel and Jacob is hot and intense but they both fight it for a long time. This is a slow burning romance in the length of chapters that it takes before they even kiss. The story is very fast paced though as there is a ton of stuff happening. Between her homicide work, Jewel works on cold cases, just like her Uncle used to do before he was murdered.
The cold cases, lead her into even more danger and direct conflict with Jacob.
Jacob doesn’t understand how or why this particular woman is messing with his head. She just is. Everything about her draws him like a moth to a flame. He wants to be burned, and he can’t help himself, even though being with him will end with Jewel getting hurt or disappointed. He’s not meant for HEA’s and that’s not likely to change.
But can it? Can these two stubborn, determined people allow their hangups to fall away and let true love conquer?
Gosh, I loved Jacob. He was tough as nails, hard in all the right places, but when it came to Jewel, he’d readily take a bullet for her. He’s hot, sexy and sin and built. Can I just say??? Holy hell, Batman. A 12 pack abs. Can you even imagine that?? Wipes drool from chin.
5 green beret stars for this spectacular finish to the Walker Brothers spin-off series.

A straight up mystery and suspense through and through. Jewel and Jacob had a high powered story.

Both Jewel and Jacob were extreme control freaks; which caused lots of friction...resulting in some seriously worded foreplay between them. Their attraction was very intense and Jewel was the one most reluctant to accept it. She’s spent her whole life on a mission of putting the bad guys away and felt doing so alone was the only way to avoid mistakes and get that job done. But having been given no other choice, Jacob is her shadow and the Walker Security Team is now involved, she’s not too keen to open it up for mistakes and mishaps. He trust circle is small and adding this group of people is WAY outside her comfort zone.

Jacob is well equipped to do what is necessary to protect his charge and can do so without being seen. But he’s just as stubborn as Jewel and feels keeping her in is his presence is the only way to ensure her safety and keep her near him. He’s attracted to her beauty, professionalism and the way she manages to maintain control; even when he can tell she’s having a hard time of it.

The two of them were truly made for each other. Their banter was worded, long winded and almost hypnotic. They spoke to each other in away the only the other could truly understand. It was amazing.

Dislikes: reasons a 5 wasn’t given
* I don’t understand why it was necessary to mention/remind the reader that Jacob was a green beret at least twice in every chapter. His skills were impressive and made perfectly clear in the beginning, so I don’t understand why it was brought up all the time. For me, it got a bit annoying.

* The villain- the author did an outstanding job of keeping me off his scent. It wasn’t a character I expected. However, in doing so I didn’t feel there was enough background to his story to clearly and truly explain his reasons for being the bad guy. His motives weren’t clear to me and It left me with questions of “WHY”. I didn’t feel the 100% closure from the HEA in this book as I did with the others in the series and in Lisa Renee Jones’ previous work. ...more

I was sure I was going to love Jacob King when I met him in the last book but I didn't realize how much I was going to love him until I got to know him in this one. There is something about a quiet, hard, ex-green beret who will literally take a bullet to save your life. That is something a homicide detective who catches killers for a living and now has someone focused on her is not finding easy to live with. These two together is something else. They both demand control. Control of themselves, ...more

Intense and suspenseful from page one to the last one. This author has a penchant for suspense and it shows in her increasingly concentrated plots that deal with crime, the law, and complex characters with complex lives.

The female lead in this novel is a police detective with too many personal losses on her back. She is extremely competent and honourable, so having to accommodate a constant shadow in the shape of a bodyguard that will push all her limits and rules is quite a challenge for her. T ...more

Jacob and a Jewel bring a lot to this series and I couldn’t stop reading this from the get go. Their back and forth banter had me going along with them. What I loved most was their vulnerability and how real hard yet easy it was to let their guard down. The attitude of not needing each other was futile, can’t stop it no matter how hard they try.

“I don’t want to need anyone. She doesn’t want to need anyone, and yet, here we are. Here I am and holy hell, I can’t stop it from happening”

I enjoyed t ...more

Reviewed on Behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
As always it is a treat to read one of Lisa’s books, and Falling Under was no exception. We have a former stone cold assassin working for Walker Security called Jacob who to others shows no emotions. Our heroine is a police detective who has lost everyone close to her apart from her father, who has Walker Security working for him during a difficult time and needs his daughter protected.
Jewel is a kick ass heroine with plenty of Intelligence and fire, ...more

Jacob is not one for messing around or beating around the bush, “we had a deal. I’m your one-on-one protection. That means I stay with you. That means I sleep here with you.” I love that Jacob has a bossy attitude, “it was my professional assessment that we should kiss.” The man is just so bossy, “pack a bag,” he repeats. “You’re coming with me. End of conversation.” I loved this book, I fell in love with Jacob, his woman was always getting a rise out of him and it was entertaining to see his re ...more
