TITLE: The Consequence of falling
AUTHOR: Claire Contreras
GENRE: Romance
PUBLICATION: January 13th, 2019
Synopsis
The list of things I hate is short. Not even my soon-to-be ex-husband is on that list. Nope. I save only the worst of the worst, the crème de la crème, the absolute I cannot even for this list . . .
1. Black coffee
2. Rude people
3. Nathaniel Bradley
Which is why when my father informs me that he’s making Nathaniel Bradley his new business partner, and in turn, my boss, I flip out.
1. He’s an annoying know-it-all.
2. He calls me a spoiled princess every chance he gets.
3. He disapproves of everything I do.
I go into this knowing I’ll hate every second in his presence. Except the longer he’s around, the more I find myself staring at his lips and remembering the one time they were on mine. I randomly find myself looking at his hands and wondering how they’d feel on my skin.
I try to snap out of it, but I guess I’m not as smart as I thought I was. No matter how many times I remind myself of the times I’ve practically thrown myself at him and he’s pushed me away, I keep falling little by little.
I’d always heard that it was a bad idea to mix business with pleasure and if that’s the case, this thing with Nathaniel has demise written all over it.

My Review
The thing about falling was that it didn't happen the way everyone imagined it. Sometimes it happened slowly, over time, and other times you find yourself sitting there waiting for the other person to catch up
’THE CONSEQUENCE OF FALLING’
Is a full length ‘romance’ novel by author ‘Claire Contreras’ Spoken in Dual POV's
The day fifteen year old high schooler Presley receives the news that her beloved parents are getting separated is also the day when she first meets eighteen year old Nathaniel. She’s expecting one of her parents to pick her up outside the school in the pouring rain sulking over the circumstances life has thrown her, but in their place is Nathaniel. Who unbeknownst to her has worked for her father for years. And her father's favourite pet as she called him was currently putting himself through business school in NYU.
They don’t get off on the right foot, she thinks he’s kidnapping her and he thinks she’s got a screw loose.
"Are you seeing a therapist? Because you should. You jump to crazy conclusions about perfectly normal situations."
As the years go by they run into each other off and on and even then with many years gap between when they see each other their banter is still in the forefront of each casual meeting.
Fast forward when a few more years are behind them, with Presley licking her wounds over a failed marriage she's ready to jump head first into her fathers company but it's a shock to her core when her father announces that Nathaniel will be his new business parter, penning him as her new boss, old insecurities rear it's ugly head I always felt less than him in my father's eyes as she struggles to find her place in the male dominant world.
Presley and Nathaniel have always had a love hate kind of friendship, We butted heads on everything under the sun she always felt as though her father preferred him over her so a lot of emotional word vomit ensues. Working together as a unit their bond becomes stronger, the sexual tension simmers away in the background until they can't fight it any longer.
Timing really was everything
This wasn't a bad read, I really enjoyed it, the only thing that grated on my nerves after a bit was the heroine Presley, Nathaniel had her pegged as a princess from the get go and he was right on the money. But in saying that towards the end we saw her coming into her own, and that's when I started really connecting with her character. I loved Nathaniel, a man driven to make himself better working himself from the ground up, making a name for himself but when it came to Presley he knew which buttons to press to get her worked up and I enjoyed their banter.
A few life lessons, an emotional journey of losing a loved one but finding love where she least expected it.
