Falling Hard (Falling Fast #2) by Tina Wainscott

There’s no one Pax Sullivan wants to run into less than Gemma Thornton. Back in high school, she revved his heart more than street racing. But she picked his clean-cut brother over him—only to accuse Blake of an unforgivable crime. Eventually the charges were dropped and Gemma left town, but the hard feelings lingered . . . along with Pax’s gnawing “what-ifs.” Seven years later, just as he quits the police force to open a racetrack, Gemma’s back—and their chemistry is more combustible than ever.
If it were up to her, Gemma would never lay eyes on another Sullivan. She hates them, and they hate her—even Pax, who just so happens to be fixing up her father’s B&B. But the more time she spends with the lean, hard-bodied ex-cop at the inn and on the track, the more Gemma sees that Pax is nothing like his brother. Despite their anguished history, she’s tempted to take their relationship into high gear . . . if she can face the past and risk her heart.

Review: I was given an ARC of Falling Hard from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
I loved Falling Hard and I was also very pleased with how it picked up from the first book in the series and kept a bit of the story line going on so the reader was kept up to date with the characters from that book and what happened with them.
Now for Gemma and Pax, they were a perfect couple for each other in this book. I loved Gemma's character and everything she overcame and what a strong woman she was. I also liked Pax and how he was willing to stand up for the woman he loved even if it meant having to prove his brother was able of raping women.
This book was a sweet romance about second chances, overcoming the past and finding out who you really are. Waistcoat has a very well written series going on with these books with engaging characters that a reader starts to think of as friends.
I am giving this book five out of five stars.
