First Impression

Set in the 3rd person Rise of the Fallen tells the story of Micah and Samantha.

Micah is suffering from a broken heart after Jackson, his second mate left him a week ago and in a effort to relieve it he seeks to lose himself to pain, via fights each night.

For Samantha, the ex-Army medic, working as a dancer at night is the only way she can avoid leaving a trace from her abusive ex-husband.

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐

I really enjoyed reading Rise of the Fallen I was captivated by then relationship between Sam and Micah till the end.

It was a fast pace book I felt, but it didn't take away from the story itself. There was plenty of action and the sexual scenes were very heated.

I would recommend Rise of the Fallen to anyone it was worth the read I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Heart of the Warrior.
