All I can say is WOW! Such a touching, funny and heart wrenching novel. I love the two characters Reese and Ben, Reese reminds me of my best friend in a way very sarcastic and bitchy at times but lovable and a trip. If only I had known farmer country boys like Ben when I lived in Miami lol. This novel had me hooked an reeled in after the first chapter, hope to read more from KA Tucker and maybe she'll write more about these two characters at some point.

Well, how did you think this would end? Of course I love it! It's K.A. Tucker. Just like Colleen Hoover, she always delivers. Her books are always amazing and I always end up loving them. And by the way... I do want to be a citrus farmer now.
Five Ways To Fall is the fourth book in the Ten Tiny Breaths-series and this time it's about Ben, the bouncer from Penny's we've come to know in the previous books, and Reese MacKay. Reese knows all about making wrong choices, she's made plenty of them herself. Her latest being Jared, the man she married way too fast and who cheated on her after only a few weeks of being married. So she moves in with her stepdad in Miami, ready for a change and turn her life over a new leaf. And she does quite well, aside from that one stupid, humiliating night in Cancun with a bouncer named Ben. Little does she know that Ben is just starting at her stepdad's law firm just like her.
While I loved Four Seconds To Lose, I'm glad Five Ways To Fall isn't as dark as that one. If I had to compare it to another book in the series, I think it'd be One Tiny Lie. It doesn't really involve Penny's except for a party or two. We do see the others again, but very briefly. Ben starts working at a law firm, leaving his job as a bouncer behind and Reese has just turned her life around and started in that same firm from her stepdad as a paralegal. Their relationship doesn't start all that well and they don't like each other very much in the beginning but I loved how they growed to care for each other and how they opened each other up eventually. Guess that's just K.A. Tucker's magic.
I was never very fond of Ben in the previous books but after I got to know him in this one, I really loved him! He's so sweet and caring and I love his bond with his mother. His life hasn't been easy because of some intense family drama and his football career being blown to pieces after someone ruined his knee in high school. He's not just a playboy. Because of all the drama from his home, he doesn't believe in love and marriage and he wants to avoid it at all cost out of fear he'll become his dad. He just really needs a hug.
I loved Reese. She's feisty, stubborn, witty but also a tad insecure. The thing I loved most? She wasn't flawless. Not even her looks. Sure she's pretty close to perfect on many ways, but I loved how her imperfections were what made her so perfect in Ben's eyes. She's got similar things to deal with. A lot of family drama. Her dad left her in a diner and her mother isn't really a mother. And she got her heart broken by Jared. In a way, Reese and Ben were made for each other. The healed each other and I loved seeing their relationship develop.
Like I said, most of this book doesn't involve Penny's, the strip club Ben worked at. It's mostly the law firm and Miami itself, but also the citrus farm of Ben's mother. I've heard a lot about that in other reviews. People telling they wanted one after reading this book. I can understand that. Hell, I'm totally with them. I want to be a citrus farmer too!
Yeah, so this is another homerun for K.A. Tucker. What can I say? Keep 'em coming, that's what. If you loved the other books in the series, you'll love this one. Simple as that.

Just think how nice it would be to have to one person that you trust so completely.
I am a huge fan of this series. FWTF is easily my second favorite book from the series and rivals TTB for the all time favorite slot. From the first pages until the last, the book flows amazingly well. It is told from dual POVS of Ben and Reese. While Ben has made appearances in the other books, he has remained much of a mystery. I fell in love with his character early on; while he appears to be a player, who can resist a man that’s a Mama’s boy at heart?
He doesn’t hide who hide who he is; he doesn’t lie or promise anything. He doesn’t play stupid head games.
I found Reese to be immediately likable. She is strong willed but has a vulnerable side to her as well. She often uses her humor as a defense mechanism. The banter between these two is hilarious and I loved watching them slowly develop a deep, worthwhile relationship. Even if they refuse to acknowledge it throughout most of the book, their story is beautiful to watch unfold.
For everything else about her that was a lie, I’m glad to see that biting sense of humor is genuine. I like a woman that can make me laugh.
While there is angst, it is not over the top or drawn out for the length of the book. This is a lovely story of two unlikely and vastly different people, falling in love. The cast from the previous books have limited appearances, and we are introduced to additional supporting characters. They bring the perfect balance to the storyline of Reese and Ben. I love the complete and unique storyline for Ben and Reese. Five Ways can easily be read as a stand alone. However, I highly recommend reading all the books in the series. It is one not to be missed!

I thought this book was great, was a bit hard for me to get into at the very beginning but it was so so good. I loved Ben and Reese was just the best and together they were funny and adorable and I loved the chemistry and the storyline. Sad to see this series end

This is a great book! I was pleasantly surprised that the story is very removed from the previous stories, although it is still connected to them in some way. I loved the banter between Reese and Ben. They're perfect :)

This was a nice conclusion to the series! I liked the overall idea for this story - Ben is attracted to Reese but doesn’t want any commitments, Reese wants to make an ex jealous and can use Ben to do so. They can both use each other and feed into the chemistry the two of them have. And while they do have chemistry between them, it wasn’t anything super special for me, and besides this sometimes using each other for revenge or a buffer, I didn’t find too much plot to really drive it forward for me. Basically, the whole book was sweet, with the little mix-in of levity and emotion, but nothing really amazing.
