What I like about this author’s books are the plots and characters. Even though this is a series, the characters are distinct from the ones in the other books, as are the plots. I don’t get a cookie cutter feeling as I have in some other series I’ve read by other authors.
Jeff is a fun-loving guy, but he’s ready to leave that part of him behind and settle down with someone. Sadly, he seems to attract the one-night stand kind of men and he despairs of ever finding anyone. When he meets a masked stranger at a party, he thinks ‘the Phantom’ might be the one. Unfortunately, even though there was chemistry between them, the Phantom was only looking for a brief encounter. It only affirms Jeff’s belief in himself that he’s not good enough to be a keeper and to be loved.
Drake is a smart, but secretive man. He doesn’t want any ties because he’s deep in the closet. One-night stands are enough for him, at least he thinks so until he meets Jeff, but he still won’t come out of the closet. I found it difficult to believe that Drake anguished over being gay even though he tells the readers he is. I didn’t feel his fear or anxiety about it, so I never found his argument about staying in the closet convincing. His thoughts came across as mere statements. This was the biggest issue I had with the story. Drake’s feelings weren’t conveyed well enough for me to feel them.
I liked the interactions between Jeff and Drake. Jeff, despite his insecurity, was willing to ‘hide in the closet’ with Drake as long as they could be together. He knew what it would cost him in terms of togetherness, but he was mature and willing to face the consequences. Drake was the one who was flakey.
I found the mystery surrounding the company’s problems interesting. When I Fall is an entertaining read. My only issue was the lack of emotion over Drake’s fear of being outed. I give this story, 4 Stars.
