I'm so in love with this book that I don't know where to start. Have you ever dream of the perfect man....if you have then you need to read Deck story. This is a book that will make you laugh and cry. It will keep you reading it until you can't read anymore and still then you will not be able to put it down. The way that Cora Brent intertwine all her other books in this one is amazing. You will know what's going on in her MC world and will have a view of how the triplets Gentry are doing while you learn to love Declan and Jenny. In this book you are going to learn more of the triplets childhood thru Deck's eyes and you are going to fall in love with this big alpha male, foul mouth big heart man. I wish I can give this book more than five stars because it actually deserve more. In other words this book is absolutely PREFECT. if you love Cora Brent's book this one is going to rock your world. If you are a Cora Brent virgin then don't be shy, buckle up and jump in this ride, I can guarantee you that you are going to have the time of your live....... Cora Brent outdid herself again.........like I said this book is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

I was really excited to read Deck's story. I don't know why, I'm underwhelmed by it.

I didn't like how he first started calling Jenny a kid. It was weird and it was in the back of my mind while reading it. Also wish it was more showing than telling and taking us on the important scenes. Wish it had less background information and more romance.

Love the characters,
love the writing style,
love the plot.
To sum this up: 5 *****
Writing style?
It's just amazing to read Brent's books.
The story just flows :D
Plus, we really get to know the side characters and get to see them again, find out what happened to them, how they are doing, and I love that <3
I also love the way Jenny's and Deck's stories are being told. Step by step. Glimpse for glimpse.
It doesn't feel rushed. Great ;)
The characters?
*swoon*
Jenny? My goodness, she's so strong. I couldn't even fathom... Her story is full of hurt and yet, she's a determined young woman who struggles but in the end, figures out what she wants (and also who she wants :D).
Deck?
My, my... His devotion to the boys? It's not from this world. He's literally their saviour.
I love the way he opens up to Jenny, the way he finally manages to let go of his past and move on. However, I also loved him for not letting go of the past, for trying to see the best in some people...
Plot?
A bit of drama, a bit of uncertainty, a bit of suspense and a hint at what will be happening next. Everything's in there :D
Plus, lots of love.
And several super hot scenes :D Like, super, super hot.
I'd definitely recommend this ;)

I am a huge fan of Cora Brent and her Gentry Boys series. I started my GR over this year, so my reads do not reflect how many times I have read each of the books in this series, but suffice it to say, many of the books have been read numerous times.
Fall is the only book I think I have only read once prior to this time.
I remember when I first read the original three books, Draw, Risk, and Game, and met Declan Gentry. I was so excited for him to get a book. But, unfortunately, this is my least favorite book in the Gentry, Gentry Generations, or even the Ruins of Emblem Series, thus far.
It still isn't a bad book. There just isn't much content. And I'm not crazy about our heroine, Jenny.
The book provides a crossover between Ms. Brents Gentry Boys series and her MC Club series. This book is directly related to Promise Me. I love the concept of merging the two worlds. I just felt that Jenny falls really flat.
I'm also not really a big fan of books where we have a man who has slept his way across the country, having sex with anyone that walks, and the nearly virginal young girl. And it's one of my absolute biggest pet peeves when the girl isn't a virgin, but she had sex ONE time and it's one of these things: traumatic; not good because she didn't wait for the H; not good because she wasn't in love with the person she had sex with; or she did it once but swore off men afterwards, for some arbitrary reason, or even a good reason. Basically, I hate it when we have female characters who only can enjoy sex when they are with the Hero. Occasionally it works, but more often than not, it doesn't.
In this case, Jenny was inexperienced, and only had sex once. She gave her virginity to a friend, not someone she loved, but because her life was going to be out of her control soon, she wanted to have control over this one thing. I actually thought this made a lot of sense. Then something very traumatic happened. This is where I would have liked to have seen it play out differently. Because Jenny is so young, and has never really been on her own, and is so inexperienced, I really didn't like her with the much more experienced Declan.
I thought, as a couple, they didn't make sense. And, even worse, I thought they were boring.
We do find out some about Declan's past. Which also left me feeling Jenny was wrong for him. He keeps comparing her to his Aunt Maggie, his cousin's (Cord, Creed, and Chase's mom). He also keeps remembering how much he loved Maggie. How when he was young Maggie was so beautiful. It's clear he had some strong emotions, bordering on a weird crush on Maggie, and it was weird the way he compared Jenny to Maggie.
Other than that, we got to see our Gentry Boys and their ladies. I've seen a lot of reviews that complained about the fact that Declan and Jenny's story wasn't fleshed out enough because we really got more of the triplet's backstory than we did Declan's, and I admit, those reviewers are certainly onto something. I just don't think I minded as much because this book, and this couple wasn't really for me. I found that the only parts that kept my interest were the parts with Cord, Sayler, Creed, Truly (my fucking QUEEN) Chase, and Stephanie and the glimpse into their past that we get, via Declan's memories.
I still recommend this book, for that reason alone. And it does set up the next two books (and one novella). One of which, Edge, I'm going to go ahead and spoil my review by saying it is among my absolute favorite books by any romance author out there. It's that good.
