Six months ago Anna Jameson was drugged and assaulted. An assault she has no memory of, except for the bruises and deep-noted fear of men. For six months, this fear held her paralysed, cut-off from her loved ones and unable to function normally. No amount of therapy has helped till Anna decides to take matters in her hand and overcome the fear in what seems to be the most logical explanation to her: reclaim her sexuality in the arms of the only man she trusts most, Finn Shaw.

It took Finn more than a decade to get over Anna and keep their friendship strictly platonic. Anna's request for help in reclaiming her sexuality moves his very foundations. For him, it is a dream come true or a nightmare which may destroy him the second time around. Unable to refuse her anything for long, they embark on a sexual and emotional journey till Finn decides enough is enough. To push Anna past her emotional boundaries of passion, Finn gives her the ultimatum; all or nothing. Reserved and emotionally scarred Anna, since childhood has always been cautious but the assault has made her go into herself to the point of isolation. Her only hope is Finn, her go to safe guy, her best friend. If only he would not push her boundaries and accept her the only way she has to offer.

I found Anna's insecurities tiresome after a while and the selfishness of her actions time after time even when she found out that Finn loved her made me like her even less. On the other hand, I cannot even begin to imagine the scars and emotional state of mind after a presumed sexual assault. What I do know is, a guy like Finn, is a gem. In all honesty, I have fallen for him. He is a protector who is all man (i.e. dangerous, sensual, daring) yet sensitive and with his own insecurities he is not afraid to show to the one he loves. His heartache broke my heart and had me bawling for him.

Ms. Anderson has done an amazing job with capturing their emotions, insecurities and fears and how they overcame them. FALLING FOR FINN is a not to be missed sizzling yet emotionally charged satisfying read.

Book Summary

When you’ve been burned, the heat of the moment is the scariest place to be.

Six months after a sexual assault, Anna Jameson has decided enough is enough. She’s sick of being a victim, of letting the experience have power over her. She wants her fear of physical intimacy gone, as in now.

In the quest to reclaim her sexuality, she needs a man. A man she trusts absolutely. A man like her best friend, Finn.

Finn Shaw is all about taking risks. He does it every week on his extreme sports TV show. But there’s one boundary he’s never pushed, and that’s his friendship with Anna. When his hyper-intellectual family kicked him to the curb over his dyslexia, Anna stuck by him.

Her request to become friends with benefits throws him for a loop. He can’t deny her anything, but this is a whole different ball game. Once they’re skin to skin, there will be no hiding the fact that he’s loved her for years.

When their chemistry burns out of control, Finn decides he’s the one who’s had enough. It’s time to break out of the friend box—and show Anna that risking her heart is a risk well worth taking. Even if it costs him her friendship.

Warning: This book contains a strong-willed heroine who knows what she wants, a daredevil hero intent on showing her how much more she could have, sexy love scenes that’ll melt your heart, and a grand gesture you’ll need a tissue for.
