Oh my goodness. I fell alright. Fell head over heals for these guys. These two right here were everything I needed to mend my heart back together after a emotional read. I absolutely loved me some Evan and Simon!
This book had the perfect amount of angst and sweetness. We find poor Evan alone and heartbroken after loosing the love of his life. His family and girlfriends family abandoned him and their newborn baby due to religious beliefs. Simon is Evans former uncle, who originally left town after also loosing his family due to the same beliefs years prior. After hearing what Evan is going through he comes back "home" to help him and little Remy. Simon was once married to Evans aunt and best friend to avoid the small town religious beliefs, but left town after a divorce and his family turning his back on him because he was gay and wanted to be his trueself.
This is the perfect slow burn. No instant attraction with this one. Loved the age gap. Simon was the most caring man helping Evan through such a horrible time. Evan really leaned on him. I loved the way he was with baby Remy. When they start to notice an attraction to each they are hesitant, but the sparks really fly with these two. I love how they were big on communicating and talking about their feelings with their new relationship. The risks they could run into, esp in that town they lived in. But they never let those risks or people's hate stop them
My heart broke for Evan. This book wasn't smooth sailing after Simon move back to help him. The small minded people who were too hung up on their own beliefs, old family members and Evans girlfriends family really tried to wreck havoc on them. They had everything under the son thrown at them. I was so happy to see Evan stand up for himself and that sweet baby. And for Simon and their little family. Both men were just alone in the world needing someone else to love them for them, needing that little family circle. I just adored them. The side characters Aunt Elliott and Maggie were priceless. Loved them too. But I really loved me some Remy!!

catch me… i’m falling!!
I finished “Before I Fall” in one sitting because yall, this love story had me utterly addicted.“Before I Fall” has everything, and then some, that makes this second chance romance a 5 star read. Our MMC, Evan, is a new father mourning the tragic, sudden death of his son’s mother. His uncle by marriage, Simon, arrives with the intent to help for a few weeks but suddenly becomes attached and doesn’t want to leave. Lynne and Dixon couldn’t have written these two characters more for each other if they tried. It’s a slow burn type of story. Evan is mourning and struggling with new feelings towards Simon. And Simon is finding every reason in the book to stay away from a romantic relationship with Evan. What Lynne and Dixon did so well with both Evan and Simon is really show how love comes when you least expect it and when someone is worth it, you’ll go through hell and high water to keep them.Yes this story is beautifully written with two amazing MMCs, but this story is also a tough one. It takes place in a small town in Missouri where the line between right and wrong is very thickly drawn. There is hate coming from every direction, including homophobia and age discrimination, but the story is written in a respectful way and not too aggressive — just enough to show that the world is cruel regardless of where you are or who you are. These characters never waver in who they are and accepting of themselves. This is something Dixon has always done and something I’ve been a huge fan of so I was happy to see it weaved throughout this collaborative project.My heart is aching for Evan, Simon, and Remy but by the end of “Before I Fall” I was crying tears of joy because YALL, the HEA was everything. I can never understand what being with someone others deem “immoral” or “wrong” and I will never get how people can be so confidently hateful, but what Lynne and Dixon did, creating this story with these two incredible men, is show that no matter how much cruelty a person can go through, you CAN have it all and there is always a place for you.Seriously! This book pulled at my heart strings and it was everything I didn’t know I needed. Now I’m off to read every Joelle Lynne book I can get my hands on 😂 I recommend this book to anyone who just want to fall in love with two characters falling in love in the most trying of times. If you’re wanting a heartwarming story between the most unlikely of people, this is it!Rating: 5/5⭐️Spice: 2.5/5🌶️🥵Tropes:⭐️ Slow burn⭐️ Former Uncle/Nephew⭐️ Single dad⭐️ Small town⭐️ Bi-awakening⭐️ Opposites attract⭐️ Age gap⭐️ Hurt/comfort
