Summary

The gentleman, the hot mess, and a little British adventure…

Raine

Moving to London is scary and daunting, but I desperately need this job–and a redo. Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner.

Hold up!

I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances. And just as I’m mentally preparing to face going home early, the big boss offers me an opportunity I can’t refuse. And I definitely should because Graham Horsham is an infuriating, complicated grumpy bear with a razor-sharp tongue, a wickedly dry sense of humor, and…I like him far too much.

Graham

I’ve been bamboozled. I’m not quite sure how I ended up with an assistant who spills coffee daily, wears wrinkled shirts, and chatters nonstop. He can’t stay, but I don’t want him to go and that’s madness. The Horsham Group is closing one of our biggest deals ever and I won’t jeopardize it. This one is personal.

Yet so is Raine.

He’s a breath of fresh air—silly, impetuous, lighthearted, good-natured, and…quite lovely. I like him more than I want to admit. For some reason, I can let my guard down with him. It’s unnerving and probably unprofessional.

But not to worry…I will not, under any circumstances, fall for Raine.

Falling for Raine is an MM, age-gap romance featuring a British gentleman, a desperate but adorable American, and a UK adventure!

Great listen

An addictive listen with a great mix of grumpy/sunshine, steam, and a slow burn romance - I'm calling it a slow burn because it takes Graham a while to get there with his feelings.

So sweet that his name is Raine, but Graham refers to him to his sunshine, or similar things along the way.

Joel is great at accents, though quite often Graham seemed to veer off into Welsh to my ear, which is fine. I love that accent.

I adored Raine with his endearing charm, ability to make friends anywhere, and just a touch of klutzy behavior. He was brave and sweet, able to see his flaws, but never gave up on what he wanted.

The brief epilogue was lovely and if the author wanted to return to this world, I wouldn't mind Sanjay's story!

Adorable

Lovely.

I adore a grumpy/sunshine story and Raine is the perfect sunshine boy. Yes, I had issues with work placement and visas and would a company that big really employ someone without so much as a remote interview. But putting RL logistics aside, and the occasional Americanism from the British character, the rest of the story was adorable, just like Raine. Graham's accent in both the ebook and the audio was annoying at times (it's not always easy to read or listen to). And while JL did a stellar job as always with the narration, I did find the slipping in and out of the accent sometimes grated on the ear.

As you can probably tell, I mixed reading and listening with this book depending on my circumstances.

Fantastic!

5 Stars!

Falling for Raine was really easy, he was delightful. He's way over his head in his new job and afterward with Graham. He's so charming, though, and I love that Graham can't stop thinking about him even when he tries. Graham was pretty much his opposite in every way, and Raine was just what he needed to shake his world up. They had so much chemistry and I adored that the age gap was a non-issue. 

Joel Leslie nailed his performance and brought a lot of emotion to the story without going overboard. He did a superb work with all the characters, but especially bringing to life Raine and Graham in such a fantastic way.

All in all, Falling for Raine was a captivating, steamy, emotional, wonderful audiobook that I absolutely adored and have no trouble recommending.
