Everybody Fall had an awesome start. Including as of the fun things that I adore in a book. It was a cute love story with broken people, also it gave me the angsty butterfly feeling that I enjoy. Unfortunately as the story progressed everything lost its sparked and all of the ooey gooey feelings that I developed went away.Jackson ( Jax, Jack, Hot Stuff) Wynter ex rock star is suffering from the lost of his band mate and brother's death. He's officially taking a time out for fame. Now staying of his Grams farm while he gets it together. His days were pretty mundane until he fell head over heels literally for the pretty girl in the bakery Lacey.Lacey Emerson owner of the local bakery left to her by her deceased grandma who raised her because of the absent mother who was bat sh(bad word)t crazy bipolar. Lacey had a way with words for reasons beyond my comprehension instead of using 4 letter words she would do this annoying food thing ie. chocolate sake, Holy chocolate.Jax and Lacey's romance was a complete insta-love. After their first encounter they were pretty much inseparable, within a week they were full blown in love. For some reason it didn't feel authentic. I will admit that these two had great chemistry, but their sex life seemed new. It was neither one knew what they were doing. It was weird. Ooohh their dirty talk umm lets just say it needed so work and it was way too much talking.Everybody Falls narration was very perplexing for me. While Lacey and what seemed to be all of the secondary characters story was told from their POV, Jax's POV was third person.Ms. Hornbuckle's writing style was very vivid, but at times a tad too detail which caused the story to drag. Towards the end I found myself skimming through which I personally frown upon. I should mention that it had an ADD feel to it, at times I had to reread some parts to make sure I didn't miss anything.Overall I enjoyed Everybody Falls, but I didn't fall in love with it. Despite everything I will probably read any further parts of this series just to see where this is headed. As for recommendations if you are a fan of rock stars, broken people and insta-love than you should definitely add this to your TBR list.**Huge thanks to the author/publisher for providing me with an arc copy in exchange for my honest opinion**
