Shay McPherson, newly arrived in London, is ecstatic getting her first nursing job, but it turned out more complicated than anything she’d trained for. The client was wilful, not to mention unreasonable, and it didn’t help that he seemed to enjoy making her blush—and she wasn’t a prude, for the record.
So the Mighty Fall (D'Arth Family Book 4) Reviews
-
Really enjoyed the beginning of the book. No INSTA-LUST (although both concede the other to be hot) but it's a slow build-up of attraction with witty dialogue, hot interaction and plenty of tension and chemistry. There's a bit of taboo due to their respective roles (she's his nurse) and the age play (he's in his mid-30s and she's 22 yo) which is totally hot.
I don't usually read books with female nurses but this isn't like those Mills & Boon poor-nurse type books. Shay is a cool, independent and interesting character.
==================
Shay McPherson: 22 yo Kiwi (from New Zealand) newly arrived to London accepts a short-perm contract as Peter's nurse. She's a snazzy, free-spirit, beach-loving, carefree easy-going and witty young woman ready to explore London and travel around. She's not interested in stuffy Corporate dealings and sophisticated games. She's attracted to Peter but being a level-headed pragmatist she's also aware he's much too sophisticated and ruthlessly dangerous for her to know (due to his playboy lifestyle). She also accuses Peter of being shallow (very different to her- she's a bit of a hippy).
Peter Dunham: in his mid-30s, a successful, charismatic but ruthless advertising executive at the top of the Corporate chain, a player with virtually no close attachments or friends.
He keeps people at a distance out of convenience and because he's only concerned with being successful and at the top.
He's at the TOP of the rat race
However, after a car crash that renders him almost paralysed for several weeks, he slowly begins to realise how lonely and empty his life is (other than his mother making a quick visit - no one else bothered).
When his mother assigns Shay to take care of him he initially sets out to torment, challenge and tease/annoy her just because he's irritated, bored and feeling angst-y and weak.
But afterwards he begins to enjoy their interactions and becomes close to her. This leads to him questioning his once sterile corporate lifestyle and to pursue Shay (although he can't be sure why - he just knows he feels confused and out-of-sorts after the crash).
A car crash changes his priorities
Unfortunately this book isn't as good as the first book which had a much better subplot (featuring Damon and Jane). Jane's career progression and professional confidence was enjoyable to read about. This book doesn't have many subplots and I was getting annoyed with the sense featuring Alex. I wasn't interested in her character and her relevance to the story (apart from the first few glimpses) was superfluous and unnecessary.
The epilogue also wasn't as good as I hoped. Basically towards the end I think the romance just became rather anticlimactic but the beginning was interesting enough to be engrossing.
