The Day the Jerk Started Falling (Jerk Duet Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 2,282 ratings

My name is Oliver Arsen, but my mates call me Ollie.

I live hard and love harder, and it’s love that usually gets me in the most trouble.

According to the greater population,
I’m the ultimate jerk.

My affection tends to be short-lived—a quality I’ve been assured multiple times by the fairer sex isn’t becoming—and the
leaving part of loving and leaving has always come natural.

At least, it used to.

Until her.
Luciana Wright.

She’s an American bombshell and my sister’s best friend—a woman so wrong for me, it’s written in the waves. And she’s the reason we’re all here.

The reason I have to go back to explain how it all went wrong.

To the day the jerk started falling.

So funny! So witty! So swoony! I loved every minute!
“Falling in love isn’t perfect. It never was, and it never will be, and to think it could be is foolish. Instead, I beg of you to join me in the imperfect.” So funny! So witty! So swoony! I loved every minute! The Day the Jerk Started Falling by the brilliant writing duo of Max Monroe gives us Ollie’s POV…and let me tell you, it was AMAZING! If you loved him in the first book, you are gonna fall head over heels in love with him in book two! He’s so smooth, charming, and oh so swoony. I just couldn’t get enough! It was so gratifying and entertaining to finally get into the head of Oliver Arsen, to find out how he really feels about his Lucky. Oh, you guys! I just want to squeeze these characters and never let go! Are you ready for the ultimate jerk to finally get his girl? Well, strap in and get ready for one hell of a hilarious and swoony love story! *ARC provided by the author*

    I’m so happy, my heart’s so full of love it could burst; The Jerk Duet’s complete and it ends in a huge and wonderful HEA! The Day the Jerk Started Falling is the second book of this amazing duet and it picks up where book number one ended. This book is so well written and fast paced; I reached the end and kept tapping my Kindle, convinced there was more to it, upset I’d finished it so soon. I kept going back and forth, giving myself whiplash, one moment I was #TeamLucky and the next #TeamOllie. What I am is #TeamLuckyAndOllie.

    The story continues with the innovative Podcasts, but this time we get Ollie’s version of the story, and what a story it is! There were moments I was so upset “listening” to him (it really felt like I was) as he was telling us what he did to win over Lucky, almost from the moment he saw her, which was ultimately his endgame. He was cocky, a full of himself jerk, while doing some pretty underhanded and calculated moves to get her attention. Not everything was what it appeared and he did everything for love, something he never expected to feel so strongly. And I love him for it!

    “You’re all the things I never knew I wanted in a woman and then some, and most important of all, you’re the woman I love.”

    Ollie has decided he needs to tell his version of what happened to Lucky, if she’d only talk to him, to convince her to forgive him for his cruel words and explain why he lied. Because there’s a good reason for everything he did, and he’s sure she’d understand, if only he got a chance to tell her. So, he decides to do the Podcasts, ten hours’ worth of them, hoping she’ll listen to him that way. Ollie’s so desperate; he’s convinced she has to.

    “Today, I choose you. Tomorrow, I choose you. And for every day after that, I choose you.”

    I really can’t go into too much of the story, no spoilers from me, but this is such a funny and beautiful story! Ollie redeems himself, and I forgave him after he spilled his guts out. I have to say I honestly was so upset by his deception, in the first book, that I really felt Lucky’s pain and anguish and I “maybe” hated him a little!

    “You might go by Luck, but I think we both know, when it comes to love, you make me the lucky one."

    And Lucky is indeed one lucky woman!

    Since the first book was completely Lucky’s story, this one is Ollie’s. There are some strange truths that come from his side of the story. He starts from the very first day he laid his eyes on her.

    He does make some jerk moves and has some questionable decisions, but ultimately he does the right thing.

    Told in the form of a podcast, the story is fresh and fun and has a sweet ending.

    A hilariously funny conclusion to the Jerk Duet! Lucky's story of falling in love after a string of bad relationships when she had just about given up any hope of not falling for another JERK was book one! This is the Jerk's story of falling in love with his total opposite who turned out to be exactly who he needed.

    The second book of this duet was as swoony as the first! This Duet is my favorite of the author duo! Ollie and Lucky are an unforgettable couple.

    Both stories are told in a unique fashion and I absolutely fell in love with these characters and their stories.

    The second book picks right up where book one leaves off. We get to hear how Ollie fell in love with Lucky in his own words. It sheds light on his secrets and his perspective is honest, funny, sweet and swoon-worthy.

    This was a book that you will definitely want to read in one sitting. I could not wait to see how things were going to turn out for my favorite characters. Ollie is everything you could want in your other half. The man is a sexy Aussie and that accent alone would have had me. But his ability to put himself out there and be completely vulnerable to not only Lucky, but the rest of the world, demonstrates his love and devotion to making this connection with Lucky into something more.

    A duet you do not want to miss! #TeamLollie
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018
    The first part of The Day the Jerk Started Falling is told in podcast form from Ollie's point of view. Getting his take on everything that went down with Lucky is interesting. I often wish I could have my husband's pov of things that happen between us. It sure looks a lot different when told by two different people. Ollie and Lucky both made some serious mistakes in their relationship, but to hear this strong, sexy, confident man own up to his mistakes for the world to hear is so endearing.

    At about the halfway point in the book, the book was told in real time and we got to hear what transpired after Lucky finally hears Ollie's side of falling. Hilarity that can only be told in true Max Monroe style ensued. The road to happily ever after took some doing, but some bumpy rides are worth it!

    The Jerk Duet is one that made me truly smile! I honestly couldn't put these books down. They are lighthearted, sweet, sexy, easy reads!
  • Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019
    So book 2 is from Ollie’s perspective in podcast form and shows us what was going on that Lucky didn’t know about for various events in the first 3 months of their business and personal relationship. I was not really fond of this format. I never read a book twice and although there were important twists using his perspective, it was hard for me to keep going with the book when so much of the first half was real familiar.

    I love to hear the man's point of view, not that there is anything wrong with a woman's point of view, I just really enjoy watching them fall, especially if they are that wonderful breed we all love to call a player, this is very well written, highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable duet books
    Reviewed in India on July 6, 2021
    Where do I start? This book duet has been an utter delight. A unique form of a story in two parts, told through podcasts. I loved it. Lucky and Ollie are brilliant together. They both fall hard, real hard. But they both have their inhibitions and need to get over them.

    There are of course references to P&P, it's the classic all encompassing love story. It still resonates in modern times.

    It takes guts to share about your relationship failures with the world, and graciousness to accept your faults. To look back at the past to search what you learnt from it and to keep the past in the past so that you can move forward. Lucky is brave to do all that and more. She is brave to risk it all, not afraid to love, and that's where her beauty lies.

    Ollie on the other hand is laid back. Casual, funny, wanting to always be carefree. Yet, he has a warm heart, having his own insecurities, afraid to take the plunge. But when he finally learns what his heart wants, he gives it his all. He doesn't back off the challenge to win over Lucky by pouring his heart out, accepting all his faults, mistakes, and taking the risk that despite his efforts, Lucky wouldn't accept him.

    It's really beautiful...and as Ollie mentiones, it's the journey towards each other that makes the duet books awesome. They are simply unputdownable books. I loved them.

    This was such a captivating and fun duet to read. I am completely enamoured by Ollie's character, and love the snap bubble pop personality that is Lucky. Max Monroe - dare I say it, but this is my most favourite story of yours so far. So easy to read and un-put-downable. Can't wait to see what you serve up next!
