Fall for him : a novel / Andie Burke.

Burke, Andie, (author.).

Summary:

"In Fall for Him by Andie Burke, seven-hundred-fifty square feet isn't enough for the home-renovation-fueled hatred and the building sexual tension. Dylan Gallagher's hot neighbor loathed him from the second he moved in, and causing a flood, falling through the floor, and landing directly onto that same neighbor's bed probably means that's unlikely to change. The poorly timed "It's Raining Men" joke didn't help. Meanwhile, ER nurse Derek Chang's life is a literal when-rains-it-pours nightmare. A man he hates dropped into his life along with an astronomically expensive problem originating from Derek's own apartment's plumbing. Also, the local HOA tyrant has been sniffing around trying to fine him for his extended, illicit banned breed dog-sitting. Since Dylan also wants to keep the catastrophe quiet, he offers to fix the damage himself. Dylan's sure he's not Derek's type, so he focuses all his ADHD hyper fixation energy on getting the repair job done as quickly as possible--avoiding doing anything stupid like acting on his very inconvenient crush. Meanwhile Derek tries to ignore that the tattooed nerd sleeping on the couch is surprisingly witty, smart, and kind, despite the long-term grudge Derek's been holding against him. But will squeezing all their emotional baggage plus a dog into a tiny one-bedroom apartment be a major disaster...or just prove they're made for each other? Fall for Him combines banter, hijinks, and heart in a story of finding out what it means to fix things after your life crumbles"-- Provided by publisher.

    Derek already vehemently dislikes his upstairs neighbor Dylan, so when Dylan falls through the ceiling onto Derek's bed due to a renovation error, Derek is incensed. Now there's a hole in the ceiling that is prohibitively expensive to fix, and even worse, it will be a major headache to handle with the building HOA. But Dylan, skilled in carpentry, promises to keep the hole a secret from management and lower the costs by taking care of the repairs himself. The only catch is that he and Derek have to share quarters while he works on it. Their animosity soon melts away into mutual lust and love, but mistaken assumptions, childhood traumas, workplace stress, and painful secrets threaten to derail their relationship before it even begins. VERDICT With strong friendships, a full cast of delightful characters, and a story told from alternating points of view, this enemies-to-lovers and forced-proximity romance from Burke (Fly with Me) explores serious issues such as neurodivergence, alcohol-use disorder, toxic family expectations, forgiveness, and grief, while still being a steamy, humorous, and hopeful read.—Migdalia Jimenez
