- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021I am dead, this is me writing this review from the grave, that is how much Tijan destroyed me with this book. I have been dying to get my hands on Nate’s book since I first met him back in Fallen Crest, and I was not disappointed. Nate is everything I had imagined he would be and so much more. And Quincey is something special, her journey was a difficult one, and watching as she tries to break free of her past and pull herself through was awe inspiring.
Nate is absolute freaking perfection; his story ripped at my heartstrings and had my soul aching. From the first moment he meets Nova to watching as they grow closer, you cannot help but fall in love with this man and his seamless transition into fatherhood. You get to see a more mature and dynamic side to Nate in this, but you also get so much of the goofy bromance that exists between him and Logan which I had missed so much of and seeing Mason as more of a grownup really showed how far these guys had come from their destructive let’s light a car on fire days. It made me nostalgic in a way and had me really itching to do a reread of FCH.
Whenever Tijan writes a heroine they immediately become one of my favs. Her character development is always unique and really takes you on a path that you were not prepared for. Quincey had a lot of growing to do in the book, from the start she struggled to do what was right and to really attempt to break free from her confines. Her journey was hard to watch at times and really shredded me deep, she is flawed but so real and strong you are in admiration of her depth. Her past is dark and tough to witness, but the protective side that it brings out in Nate is what really sets the tone for their relationship. And ultimately shows you their connection on the deep level that they didn’t even realize they had.
Tijan’s books always have the capacity to pull you in from the moment they are opened. She writes characters that are imperfect and unique in a way that has you connecting to them and really needing to see their journey’s through to the end. Her stories always hold a special place for me, and without a doubt she will always be a one-click author for me. If you’ve never read Tijan you are truly missing out on spectacular books that are sure to tug at your heart and soul.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021Nate’s story was very surprising!!! I did not realize how mature and deep Nate was. He didn’t think he had the capacity to love, but he does and he loves hard. He’s an amazing father and he’s such a protector. He’s good and loyal. Quincey is beautiful and elegant and graceful. A little reserved and shy, but only because she had so many insecurities compounded into her from her dad. She’s also a lover and a wonderful mother. She’s fierce and protective of those she loves. Valerie left her baby Nova in the best hands possible and she just knew they were all meant to be. A true family. My only wish is that the original gang and family all find their way back to each other. They’re stronger together and we know they all miss each other. So I hope with time, they find a place to call home that fits them all, where they don’t have to travel so far to see each other and they can always spend time together. I also hope Logan eventually pops the question to Taylor, who’s been so patient and loving towards him. I love this world and these characters and I always feel like I want more of them. I loved this book and I highly recommend this book!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021If you're a fan of the Fallen Crest High series, Nate is a book you have been waiting a long time for. Or at least I have been. I've always been curious about Mason and Logan's best friend. He went through some STUFF with them and I was curious what went on in his mind. I also wanted him to find a love like Mason and Sam or Logan and Taylor. To say I was excited to get Nate would be an understatement. Did Nate live up to my expectations? That's a harder question to answer than it should be.
Reading Nate was exciting. I loved where Tijan took the drama. It wasn't what I expected. There was a family feud like in the other Fallen Crest High books, but it wasn't with Nate's family. It all revolved around his daughter and the mother's side of the family. It wasn't the same old drama and I appreciated that. Things were handled in a more grown up way, too. It was nice to see the maturity of Tijan's original characters as they are now adults.
Tijan says in the back of the book that Nate took a long time to speak to her. This comment resonated with me thinking back on this book. To be completely honest, Nate didn't have the emotional pull of Mason, Logan, or any of the other guys from Fallen Crest High related books. I loved that he felt an instant love for his daughter and how his love for the person he falls for developed over time. I enjoyed (as always) the comradery between Nate, Mason, and Logan. The moments between Nate and his friends were where his character seemed to flesh out the most. There was something missing, though. I think part of that is that Nate drops us into his adult life. He's grown up and we get some talk of his teenage years, but I think I needed a little something from that time to tie who he was into who he is now. I guess I've always just wondered what was going on with him inside his head and I didn't get as much as I wanted with that. What I did get was a look into who Nate became. I liked adult Nate.
As for that love interest... I'm not telling. I know there will be some spoilers on who she is, so you can get them elsewhere. I liked her for the most part. She wasn't what I was expecting. There were some weird vibes that I won't explain and didn't love, but her story combined with Nate's worked for me. They had an instant chemistry and I enjoyed the build up of their relationship.
Nate's daughter was super cute. For those who don't like kids in books -- she didn't overwhelm the story. She fit right in at the right moments. I liked how her addition to Nate's life changed his outlook.
I want to go back and comment on the whole friendship aspect of this book. There were a lot of moments with Mason and Logan and the others, but they didn't take over Nate's story. They added to it. We got the fun, the humor, the cockiness, and the SBC -- basically everything you would want to see from them all together. Those moments were priceless and made me hope that we'll get more novellas or books about these characters in the future. Heck, I'm still holding out hope for a Matteo/Grace book.
My overall thoughts on Nate are that I liked reading it a lot. I don't know how other fans of the original series are going to feel about this book, but I thought it was fun and unique enough while staying within the FCH feel. I wouldn't say I fell head over heels for it, but it was addictive. There a couple of cringe worthy things, but they didn't break the book for me. Anyways. I liked it. I would rate it somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Nate was always that character that was there but you never felt like you knew him. In every book he was just part of the team but not part of the team. He was the best friend and brother but also not always included. This book was so great because you got to know him. You got to see behind the stoic character and understand how he could be who he was. Don’t get me wrong I totally loved Quincy and my heart both broke and warmed when it came to her. Following their story and seeing how things developed made me fall for both of them! I am so thrilled this was added to the series and am excited for the next binge so I can fall in love with all the characters all over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it
OMG I loved Nate’s book. I’d never paid a whole lot of attention to him in the other FC stories but I loved seeing his love story and getting to understand his perspective helped me to fall in love with his character. Great read, another brilliant book Tijan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tijan ist die Beste
Ich lese sie nun schon seit Jahren, hab all ihre Bücher durch und bin immer wieder begeistert. Ich wüsste kein schlechtes Buch von ihr. Alle waren sie gut. Andere sogar erstklassig. So ist das auch mit dieser Geschichte. Ich hab mich auf Nates Geschichte gefreut und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Es ist großartig

5.0 out of 5 stars A incredible story for an incredible and favorite character
Spanish & English Opinion :: 5🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭
ESP ::
El universo de Fallen Crest es de mis favoritos. Nate es un personaje básico desde los inicios y había mucha expectativa acerca de su historia.
No pudo haber una mejor. El resumen de libro nos da una idea pero todo el contenido es una sorpresa. Él confirma ser uno de los book boyfriends de mi vida y este libro le da el rol principal en una manera increíble.
Me encanta el inicio de la historia, la relación que establecen tan tensa y llena de química. Seguir sabiendo acerca de personajes entrañables y favoritos como Sam, Mason, Logan y de todos los personajes parte de este universo.
Gracias Tijan por siempre dar historias especiales, diferentes e inesperadas. Aún sin haber leído todos los demás libros de F. Crest, este es un libro que se convierte e favorito.
Súper súper recomendado.
ENG ::
Fallen Crest universe is one of my favorites. Nate is an important character from the start and to get his story so long after the first book led to expectations. Important ones, since he is a book boyfriend of many (including me).
I don’t think there could have been a better story. A better way to make this character justice and to give him the main spot in a better way. With everything he thinks, he loves, he does. And Quincey is just a lovely addition. She’s a great heroine, different, special, with depth and interesting personality.
Together they are fire and the circumstances that surround them are original, different, unexpected. All of this, surrounded by the characters of the Fallen Crest world that we love so much.
Thanks Tijan for always deliver incredible, original, different stories. Even without reading the previous books, this one is lovable and has everything to be a favorite one by itself.
An absolute recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
I waited so impatiently for Nate’s story to come out and now on the release date, I’ve gone and read the whole thing in one read. Very delightful. My favourite part of the story is when Nate meets Nova for the first time and how they just look into each other and just know. I also loved how Mason just went to Nate in the beginning. I also liked how this story shows how time has passed.
Loads of cameos here. What’s the update on Mason and Sam’s kid or kids??
