Shelby Saville gives us fierce contemporary romance in And They Had a Great Fall. Jake Laurent is filming in Copenhagen for a project that could boost his career, working with a brilliant director. However, Jake struggles to connect with his character and keeps messing up. After months of silence, he calls Kat Green. Kat works in tech, is a single mother to a beautiful daughter, and works fourteen-hour days. Kat is in the running for the new COO of the company. When Jake begs Kat to come to Copenhagen, her initial response is to say no. Kat has too much at stake with the new launch. When work sends her to Denmark, Jake and Kat reconnect and work hard to keep things a secret.
Author Shelby Saville sets the stage perfectly with two main characters leading completely opposite lives. The Copenhagen setting in Denmark is a delight to the senses. The character descriptions are superb, and their energy leaps off the pages. This vibrancy keeps the pace lively, making it easy to enjoy the plot as well. I relished getting to know these characters and observing their interactions with the world and with one another. There is genuine depth and meaning when everything comes together, prompting readers to reflect on their own lives. Due to some explicit language and sexual scenes, this book is only suitable for adult readers. And They Had a Great Fall is a story of love and understanding, and I believe we all could use a little more of that in our daily lives.
