Roxy's loved Reece Anders since she was fifteen, so when the straitlaced cop finally surrendered to a steamy encounter years later, Roxy hoped he'd fall for her, too. He didn't.

The last thing she wants is to go there with Reece again, but he's determined to prove to her that he's exactly what she needs. Especially when a sick creep starts messing with her. But what's more dangerous to Roxy—a psycho after her or the past that refuses to let go and allow her to open up her heart again? ...more

4 stars!
Fall with Me is the 5th book in JLA's Wait for You series. Even though book one is by far the best book of the series, this was one I liked a lot. Reece and Roxy were both great characters. I listened to the audio book of this one, and the narration was good. It was an easy listen. It had that NA feel to it, but also some mystery and suspense.
Roxy works at Jax's bar. She's an artist first and foremost, but she also bartends and takes classes at a community college. She's close with he 4 stars!
Roxy works at Jax's bar. She's an artist first and foremost, but she also bartends and takes classes at a community college. She's close with her family, devoted to her best friend, and has been in love with the same man since she was 15. Roxy is a heroine that is easy to love. She can be a bit dense and flighty at times, but she's also fun, feisty, and has a good heart.
Reece is a military vet who is now a cop in Roxy's town. Reece who Roxy fell for when they were both in high school. He's sexy, alpha and sweet. Roxy and Reece's story really starts 11 months ago… when an incident that really didn't happen went down. Now everything is turned around and Roxy has to try to find a way to fix it. But it can't be that easy. She's got things going on with her best friend and some creepy stuff going on at home.
I loved Roxy and Reece's relationship. That push and pull at the beginning. Taking risks and figuring things out, it's always fun to watch that. They had great chemistry and you could just tell they were meant to be together. Even though they are so very different, they really compliment one another. Another aspect of this story I loved was Charlie's part. It wasn't always easy to read and it hit me right in the feels, but it really made me love Roxy so much more as a character. Seeing that kind of love and devotion from her was endearing.
Fall with Me is a fantastic addition to this series about falling in love and taking risks. I loved catching up with all my favorite characters from the series (and YES, you get a parts with all of them). I loved the romance mixed with the mystery, and JLA never fails to make me laugh when reading her stories, no matter what genre so that's always a plus. I am SO hoping that the next book is Nick's. I don't even care who the heroine is (though I think I have a pretty good clue…) I just really want a Nick book! ...more

Jennifer Armentrout is an amazing writer. I don't know how she does it but she grabs the reader's attention in such way that makes impossible not to be suck by her stories.
This was a little out of her traditional NA, as it had a little mystery to it that despite not being completely unnoticeable, it still managed to keep me on my toes. My favorite book of this series will always be 'Wait for You', but this was still a very enjoyable reading.
If you like NA, Jennifer Armentrout is definitely an author you can't miss.
Rating: 4 Stars.
Characters Development: I liked Reid, he was sexy and a little alpha and I loved how protective of Roxy he was. I liked Roxy as well, despite some normal insecurities she was a strong and sassy heroine and easy to like. It was great to catch up with the rest of the gang's lives.

Nothing could have stopped me from continuing to read this series, especially when Reece, a hot man in a police uniform and a former military uniform, is one of the main attractions! This is a man who served and protected our country right out of high school, and then came home to serve and protect his community. Gotta love him right out of the gate. Roxy is an amusing, artistic and feisty little spitfire who has a heart of gold and will do anything for her friends, but one so called 'friend' has her madder than a hornet.
Although I totally loved Reece, I must say this one was my least favorite of the series, i.e. the 3.5 star rating. A portion of the storyline was a bit over the top for me and implausible.
Roxy has had it bad for Reece since she was a freshman in high school and he a junior. They never ran in the same social circles, but after he enlists in the marines and comes home from Afghanistan injured, she and Reece become close friends. Flashback to eleven months ago, when Roxy drives Reece home after a night spent at the bar where she works. Things get 'hot and heavy' between them, but Reece, so sloshed from all the whiskey he consumed, passes out on her and wakes the next morning thinking the 'deed' was done and proceeds to act remorseful and disappointed they had sex. Roxy is devastated and humiliated knowing Reece regrets what he thinks happened between them. She hasn't had a conversation with him since that night, nor has she set him straight as to what really happened, or in this case, didn't happen. Reece hates being lied to, so nothing good is going to come out of the fact Roxy hasn't been honest with him.
Reece has been seriously missing hanging out with Roxy for the past year. He only wishes he could remember being with her the only night they were together, because Roxy is the one girl he has ever really cared about. He is embarrassed and disgusted he was so ridiculously drunk that night. It also ticks him off she refuses to speak with him, except to cuss and call out insulting names. Seeing her with other guys is also infuriating. So, Reece decides to rectify the situation, as he wants her all to himself.
Now to the part of the storyline which seemed a bit far fetched. Roxy is being stalked. It wasn't so much the stalking angle that bothered me, but who the "stalker" turns out to be. Yeah, just a wee OTT. Not good when my eyes start rolling.
All in all, I did enjoy Reece and Roxy's romance, and kudos to the wild and wacky Katie, who never fails to make me laugh! Her character has been a great addition to this series.

Roxy has loved Reece since she was 15 years old but she was "too young" and he left for the marines for a few years…until one fate filled night when they had an explosive encounter while Reece was drunk out of his mind. Major signals were crossed and after apologies taken completely the wrong way, the pair don't speak for months. What used to be a close friendship is strained beyond a cordial passing, barely even hellos are made…and Reece has had enough with it. He wants to make amends and explain himself better. After things are discussed and feelings are laid out for both, ghosts Roxy assumes lives with her, become much more real and interfere and uproot Roxys life.
Reece was amazing throughout this book, he was the perfect guy to me. He did everything he was suppose to do, including protecting the girl he loved. Roxy drove me crazy at times, granted she endured a lot of tragedy and horrible circumstances, I was still pleased with the ending. I loved seeing the whole 'Wait for You' gang come together in this series. I can't wait to continue the rest of this series!!

The two have been family friends since they were teenagers, but Roxy has had a gigantic crush on Reece since she laid eyes on him. About a year ago, the two of them hooked up and Reese was less than enthusiastic about it the morning after, hurting Roxy's feelings. But the truth is, nothing happened that night, but Roxy can't get past Reese's obvious regret. Almost a year later, Reese decides he wants to start over. It's up to Roxy to take the next step.
I really enjoyed this book, it's not my favorite of the series but it still has the JLA touch. And she wasn't using as many annoying phrases as the last book (the low point being "Holy granola bar" in book 3). None of that was in this book and I appreciated it. The suspense story was fairly predictable but it added a bit of a thrill to an already great story. I really want to know more about Henry, who wronged Roxy and her friend Charlie years ago. And I want to know (view spoiler)[ if Avery is pregnant!! She was totes puking in the last book and I don't think it's the flu!! (hide spoiler)].
Overall, a really great and fun read. I'd write a much classier/better review with images that this book deserves, but I have almost no free time anymore. ...more

We got to meet Roxy and Reece in the last book, Stay with Me. Roxy worked in the bar with Calla and Reece is a local cop who is friends with Jax. There was definitely something going on with Roxy and Reece and now we get to find out what.
I really enjoyed getting to know Roxy more especially because she's so funny. She's definitely her own person but it was great getting to know the other sides of her. And her tee shirts were hilarious!

Reece is the sexy cop who Roxy's been crushing on since she was fifteen and they became neighbors. It's pretty obvious that he's been crushing on her too but I hated not having his POV and getting the inside scoop.
You can't help but cheer these two on especially because Reece thinks they've already been intimate one night when Roxy took care of him when he was drunk. She thinks he was repulsed by it and hasn't been able to tell him the truth.
Once things get going, it's pretty steamy. For Roxy, it's everything she ever imagined and for Reece, well, he sure seemed to like it.
There's a couple of other storylines going on besides the romance. One has to deal with Roxy's best friend who was gravely injured in a hate crime. It was hard seeing Roxy try to deal with this but I loved how she captured their memories in her paintings.
The other one is far more creepier...someone is moving things around in Roxy's apartment and not only that a serial rapist in on the loose.
Naturally both of those things take time away from Reece and Roxy but it also throws them together and make them confront their feelings.
I loved getting updates on all the characters from the past books and I love how JL keeps them incorporated into the ongoing story line. (Cam ~sigh~)
But can we just talk about Katie for a minute? I just adore her. She went from a kind of goofy character to a still goofy but completely endearing one. Please let there be a book for her!
Everything wraps up really nicely after quite a dramatic ending. Things are also set up for the next book...which is Nick's...and Steph! What a great pairing...can't wait to read how Steph gets Nick to settle down! And we just have to have a Colton book...him and his Cop Face! ;)

♥ "I need to get them adjusted," I would say, and he'd always respond with, "Nah. I like being your official keeper of your glasses."
♥ "We don't say good-bye to one another," he'd claimed. "We kiss."
♥ "That's the best damn dessert I've ever had," he whispered. "I'm thinking this is going to be a requirement after every meal."
♥ "Honey," she said, smiling so widely that I thought her face might split into two. "Are you about to make your momma proud?"
♥ "Don't hate on Betty Crocker," Cam warned him.
♥ "So fall with me," he said, smoothing his thumbs along my cheekbones. "Let yourself go and fall with me, and baby, I will catch you."

This was a super quick, fun and sexy read. This story is about Roxanne Ark, the bartender who works at Mona's, and Reece Anders, the cop and friend of Jax's, both of whom we meet in Stay with Me, the previous book in the Wait for You series.

Roxy's had a crush on Reece since they were teenagers. They've been neighbours, friends and right now, a misunderstanding has them on the outs. As these two find their way to each other, there's lots going on around them. Some of it's very emotional as Roxy clings to the past and is forced to move on...
and some of it's suspenseful and creepy...
Reece is hot, protective and all around a great guy. It's so easy to see how Roxy's been pinning for him for years. Now Roxy's quirky, funny and at times, I just had to shake my head. I liked her but found it hard to believe that she was in serious denial about the danger that was right around her!(view spoiler)[ I mean, come on, the unmentionables in the dishwasher was the BIG RED FLAG for me! (hide spoiler)]
Roxy and Reece were cute, sexy and hot together.
"I'm scared too. And there are times I question what I deserve, but we're in this together. So fall with me. Let yourself go and fall with me, and baby, I will catch you. I will get you through this.You just got to take that risk."
Overall, it was a really enjoyable read. The story was bittersweet in that it reminds you that "...time...it was short and never promised." and that one moment in time can drastically alter your life forever.

I love this series. I truly do… which makes this review a bit harder to write.
I didn't love this installment.
I am breaking my own heart by saying that out loud.
So… the story. If you've read the series here, you know that Roxie works in the bar that is owned by Jax. Kinda quiet … has a thing for Officer Reece Anders, but won't admit it. Well, something happened between her and Reece… sort of, and they haven't been speaking for the past 11 months. Unless you call sidelong gla 3.5 stars rounded up -
So… the story. If you've read the series here, you know that Roxie works in the bar that is owned by Jax. Kinda quiet … has a thing for Officer Reece Anders, but won't admit it. Well, something happened between her and Reece… sort of, and they haven't been speaking for the past 11 months. Unless you call sidelong glances and looks of panic before running off any kind of conversation. When Reece has had enough and confronts Roxie she has to decide if she's ready to possibly have her heart stomped on again because he's ready to lay it all on the line.
But that's not all. Roxie's best friend has been in a long term care facility for years and watching him waste away is killing her and when the man who put him there is released from prison she struggles with the pain that brings. Add to the fact that someone out there is stalking women and the crimes are escalating and Roxie is dealing with a lot of crap right now.
I adore Roxie … I love her snark and I love her wit … and I have a deep appreciation for a girl who is addicted to t-shirts like I am. I really enjoyed her as a character here and I loved getting to know more about her past and finding out all about her.
But I really felt like she made some very stupid decisions.
I don't mean stupid decisions like I didn't agree with them, I mean stupid decisions like if she would have actually stopped to think for a minute about the things that have happened she should have come to a different conclusion than the ones that she did. Especially considering the circumstances that are happening in neighboring areas.
So Roxie as a character. I loved the layers that Armentrout gives her… the guilt she lives with, the way she's trying to live her life for her best friend, that's all really well done. Her struggles she has as she sees who he used to be and who he is now is just heartbreaking to read.
I think part of my problem with this story lies with Reece. I don't know … I just didn't click with him and I don't really know if I liked him and Roxie together. Oh sure… I mean, I liked them together together, but I didn't love their chemistry I think like I have the other characters in this series. Plus, once something about a character starts to bother me, I can't stop having it bother me, and if I'm being honest, I really hated some of the phrases that Reece used. Well, okay… one.
"I'm going to be in you."
"I need to be in you."
"I regret getting in you."
"the only times I've been in you have been too fast."
I don't know what it is, but this just makes me
I just felt … I guess like Reece, that everytime they were together it was rushed and while intense and passionate, I just didn't feel the love between them.
Like I said, it pains me to write this because I love this series and the characters here, these two just didn't work for me.
Thank you to Avon books for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest thoughts. ...more

About the story. Roxy is in love with Reece for years. But it seems that for them has never been right time. After one of such event their friendship ends in misunderstanding. Throughout eleven months they remain at odds. Then when the book begins. He has enough coolness that is between them and begins to push her. To start over.
They did not start out too well. She has to confess to lying, which again shaken their "friendship". Or at least it looks that way. Circumstances change when threatened her danger.
Heroine. Roxanna "Roxy" Ark. Painter. Graphic designer. Working in Mona's bar. She has a friend, Charlie who has a head injury and never again will live normally. This affected her whole life. With what she could never cope with.
Hero. Reece Anders. The former soldier. Policeman. On the SWAT team. He also has a lot of problems on his mind. But trying to deal with them as best he can.
Thumb down. My problem with this book starts at the very beginning. Eleven months. Not quite catch why now? There is really no good reason. He just starts talking to her and wants to re-friendship and more. This is the first thing I do not like. Almost a year its a lot of time and I would have liked some explanation, besides I'm sick of it.
In addition. A little colorless characters. She gets on my nerves. Her uncertainty, constant doubt and denial is annoying. I can not too much to say about him as well. He tries to be with her clear, start again, twice, and when she gives up, he fight and cares about her. Not allow her to make foolish decisions. Thank God! But despite everything it is pretty unremarkable. And a lot of reps. So I know that he does not forgive lying, so I know her girly parts works with him.
Thumb up. Supporting characters. We meet again the whole gang. And these scenes are mega fun and good. We can learn more about their future and very adds color reading. Katie again entertain to tears! I adore her and can not disagree with when she called Roxy stupid. Sad but it's true.
The action. How is it in books J. Lynn, they have something extra. Lots of action beyond romance. The whole thing with her friend Charlie is beautiful and makes you cry. Really all the action with stalking is quite good. Predictable but good. It is all mixed with their relationship in a good way.
Sex scenes are pretty good too. This book is not erotic so do not expect that much, but there are some interesting scenes. A little tension and dirty mouth.
To the end. That all good and bad, are mixed together and fact that it is part of a Wait for You series meant that I may not love it but I like it anyway. And I look forward to the next part. ...more

Their story made me gasp until the last page and Jennifer took this series to a new level, with a darker and more intense twist.
Roxy has been in love with Reece since she was 15 years old and a drunk one night stand with him was everything she needed to fuel that fire more. But after that passionate night, Reece doesn't seem to be interested in pursuing a relationship with her, leaving Roxy heartbroken. She finally manages to put behind this unrequited love and try to move forward, but things will become dangerous for her when a very crazy person will go after her and the Police will be involved. Reece's protective side will kick in and in the meantime, he will realize the fool he was for letting Roxy go.
The story is extremely action packed and with a lot of twist. It was by far the most complex and breathtaking, because it delivered a lot of surprised which leave you gasping. I loved Jennifer style and originality and the way the crafted Roxy. Reece was not particularly fantastic, but Roxy was so funny, so artistic and so head in the clouds girl. She was also brave and independent, things that made you want to get to know her better.
One big bonus for this book was having the gang all together again and seeing them in action. I just love this sense of unity and the way they love and keep each other safe. From my POV this is one of the best Romance series out there and I just hope Jennifer will keep on writing stories like this, because they are so gooood, you become addicted and don't want it to end.

Warning: this book features an extremely hot member of the police force.
True...the story is somewhat predictable. And true, it can sometimes be (for me) overly sexy. But hey, what's not to love about a story that includes a feisty female, a hot cop, and plenty of stalker-related danger and heart-wrenching moments?!
I'm guess I'm just a sucker for a romance book with beautiful lines. Example:

This story will be about Roxy/Reece. I'm excited that Roxy and Reece will be getting a story! I was really curious about what was or wasn't going on with them in Stay with Me. Roxy is a graphic design student that works at the bar Mona's. Reece is a cop who is friends with Jax. He was also in the Marines with Jax.
I was worried that Cam, Avery, Tess, and Jase wouldn't really be in Reece/Roxy's story since I assume it will take place in Calla's hometown. However, Jennifer said that the old gang will make appearances in the rest of the books. Yay so happy to hear that. JLynn also said that there will be a wedding and baby in the series. Cam and Avery are engaged so I hope the wedding is theirs. I hope Cam/Avery have a baby!

Jennifer Armentrout's Wait for You series is one of my favorite New Adult series. I love how all the books are connected together by reoccurring secondary characters, but each story still has a unique feel to it. Roxy and Reese's story was different than I had expected, which made it even more enjoyable. Fall with Me was the perfect mix of steam, romance, emotion, and suspense.

I was intrigued by what we saw of Roxy and Reese in Stay with Me and looked forward to seeing why Roxy was so intent on avoiding Reese. What I didn't count on was Armentrout breaking my heart in the process with a story of friendship and the pain and guilt of regret.
Roxy has been in love with Officer Reese Anders since she was 15 years old. They had a one-night stand almost a year ago, but Reese made it clear he wished that night never happened. Hurt by Reese's apparent dismissal of their time together, Roxy does her best to distance herself from him. Suddenly she begins to receive scary messages that make her worry about her safety. Believing it is the man who ruined her best friend's life and is currently looking for forgiveness, Roxy reluctantly involves the man who broke her heart. Reese is determined to keep Roxy safe at all costs, as well as set the record straight about their past and future together.
Probably since Armentrout is an auto-buy author for me, I realized after I had started Fall with Me that I had never actually read the synopsis and knew what had happened to Roxy's friend. That first chapter hit me hard. Roxy's anguish and guilt were palpable. Although as a reader I never held her at fault, I think that if I were in her shoes I would have felt the same way she did. Despite her self-blame, Roxy was a dedicated and loving friend. It was clear during her weekly visits how much she adored Charlie, and how difficult it was seeing him as a shadow of his former self. I was rooting for her to find a way to forgive herself.
I adored Roxy's wit and quirky attitude, not to mention her awesome t-shirts. It made me laugh every time she attempted to avoid Reese because that man who was not going to let her get away without setting the record straight. I appreciated how straightforward Reese was with Roxy. He wasn't interested in playing games. Reese was sexy, dedicated to his job and Roxy, and just an all-around good guy. What I loved the most about him, though, was how he helped Roxy understand that she couldn't live her life for her friend. He was incredibly supportive and encouraged her to follow her heart and her passion.
Everything was on point with this story. There was great chemistry between Roxy and Reese and a good balance of romance and heat. Roxy's story tugged at my heart more times than I could count, and I definitely shed some tears. Add in healthy doses of snark, angst, and suspense, and Armentrout knocked it out of the park. I loved the overall message about letting go in the book. Nick was a primary secondary character in this installment, and I enjoyed getting to know him more. I can't wait to read to his story next. Whenever I am looking for a great book in the New Adult genre, I know I can count on Armentrout. ...more

"Sometimes when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place."
A gorgeous NA friends-to-lovers romance with wonderful characters, a touch of mystery/suspense and a whole lot of heart.
I confess that I delayed reading this book because I wasn't a huge fan of the previous one – Stay with Me.

I confess that I delayed reading this book because I wasn't a huge fan of the previous one – Stay with Me. It was such a huge deviation from the original books in the series and for me the story really dragged. But this book recaptured all of the JLA magic that has made me such a huge fan of hers, and I absolutely loved it!
Roxy and Reece were introduced in the last book - Roxy is a bartender at Mona's bar, and Reece is a police officer and good friend of Jax. Roxy and Reece have known each other since they were teenagers, and have grown to become close friends over the years. Roxy has crushed on him since she first laid eyes on him at 15 years old, and 11 months ago their friendship took a turn when they hooked up after a drunken night out… or did they? Reece's regret over that night shattered Reece's fantasies once and for all and so, full of hurt and embarrassment, she has completely withdrawn from him, pushing him away to try and move on with her life and get over him.
In an emotional twist to the story, Roxy's best friend from childhood is in a long-term care facility in an almost-vegetative state after a brutal attack years previously. Roxy has remained incredibly devoted to Charlie, visiting him weekly and sharing her life with him even though he is unable to respond to her in any way. Now, the man whose attack left Charlie so heartbreakingly disabled has been released from prison and he wants to see both her and Charlie in order to make amends. Roxy is in no way ready to see the man who destroyed her best friend, and when strange things start happening around her house and it looks as if she is the target of a stalker, she knows exactly who to blame.
I love Roxy! Sweet and quirky, she's a real sweetheart and immediately loveable. I could relate to her, and really enjoyed her as a heroine. And Reece… wow. Strong, sexy and slightly alpha, Reece is the one who is there for Roxy when her life is shaken up yet again. His version of the events from 11 months ago is vastly different to hers, but he's decided that enough is enough and he wants her back in his life. As a returned serviceman turned town cop, he has been through his own hell and Roxy was there for him when he needed her, he intends to do the same. And he has no intention of doing it as her friend.
"I'd give anything to remember that night."
I love the dynamic between these two. It's so glaringly obvious that there is not only attraction between them, but also a deep emotional connection, and the back and forth as they finally open up to each other about their feelings and Roxy's struggles to overcome her fears while Reece lays it all out for her is really well done. But even though there's some back-and-forth between them as they finally address the past and figure out their way forward, at the same time it feels easy and natural as they slip back into friendship and then straight into something more, and it's sweet, hot, romantic, and beautifully swoony.
"I'm scared too. And there are times I question what I deserve, but we're in this together. So fall with me. Let yourself go and fall with me, and baby, I will catch you. I will get you through this. You just got to take that risk."
I love Reece! His protectiveness over Roxy and his determination to build something between them is gorgeous, and the way he is there for his girl absolutely melted my heart. And I was so proud of Roxy as she put her faith in him again. These are two are well developed and completely loveable characters, and I thought their honesty and the way they opened their hearts to each other was beautiful.
"You're going to make me want to keep you."
But the threats against Roxy are increasing, and the addition of the mystery/suspense aspect of the story creates a great sense of intensity as she is faced with real danger and Reece steps in to protect her while he hunts down the bad guy.
I loved this story. The romance is beautiful, the mystery and suspense is tied in really well, and the emotion is beautifully (and heartbreakingly) written. The character dynamics are absolutely fantastic, and I loved watching the development of Roxy's character as she perseveres through it all, deals with her past and figures out what it is she truly wants – with the luscious Reece standing strong by her side. As expected from JLA there are lots of sweet and fun moments, great banter and some laugh out loud moments – especially from Roxy's loving and protective family, and from the rest of the characters from the series who all make an appearance.
"No. Seriously … I don't ever want to hear my sister's name and the word pole in the same sentence that involves dancing." Cam glanced at Katie, wielding a slotted spatula, causing Jacob to sidestep a spittle of grease. "No offense."
She shrugged a shoulder. "None taken. Only the few and the proud can handle it."
I scrunched my nose. "Isn't that the Marines' motto?"
"Yes," sighed Reece.
Although the series has taken a bit of a swing from where it all started, I really liked this instalment, and am looking forward to reading Nick's book next.

I had quite a few issues with this book that I just couldn't get past, and I hate that I couldn't because I really wanted to love this.
Roxy works at Mona's, and she does a great job there. She has a routine that involves visiting her best friend in the hospital every week. Charlie has been there for years, and doesn't seem to be getting better. When his attacker is released from prison, he goes to visit Charlie, and wants to talk to Roxy too, but she won't have anything to do with him. And since instances of violence are increasing in the town, she has good reason. Roxy's life gets even more crazy when Reece comes back into it. They had a night together a while ago, and since then they've stayed away from each other. But now that Roxy could be in danger, Reece will do anything to make sure she stays safe.
I liked Roxy well enough - she's spunky and funny, and I love her t-shirts. I also sympathized with her a lot because of Charlie. But honestly, the decisions she makes.. they're kind of ridiculous. I mean, she let a guy think they had sex one night and never bothered to correct him over the next few years? Moreover, weird stuff starts happening in her house and she doesn't even consider telling the police or anyone about it. She brushes everything off despite the attacks going on. So yeah, Roxy's decisions really pissed me off.
Then there's Reece. He's the standard incredibly hot and ripped and charming love interest. I wish there was some variation, because every guy in NA now is just blending together in my mind. Reece is really protective of Roxy, which is sweet to see at times, but pissing off at other times. Also, he keeps calling her 'babe' every chance he gets, and I just found that kind of degrading. Why can't he say her freaking name?
Some scenes in this book seemed reused to me, and I feel like there's just a general similar plotline in this and Stay with Me, with variations on some things. The whole mystery aspect of this one didn't really appeal to me, mostly because the motivation behind the things that occurred didn't make sense. You'll get what I mean if you read the book. The danger didn't feel like danger because it was just kind of ridiculous.
I feel terrible that I don't have many nice things to say about this, because it's JLA and I love her. But I think I'm just done with the NA genre. I'll still love all her YA stuff! Fall with Me is good if you adore NA, so go for it if you do. It just wasn't really for me.

DNF 25 %
I used to be a big fan of Jennifer L. Armentrout. I devoured her books. And to this day I feel very nostalgic toward her earlier books; her Covenant series is especially close to my heart. For some reason her latest books didn't work for me at all, with the exception of The Return which I loved. Though it's probably result of my warm feelings toward Covenant series, since The Return is a spin-off. Anyway, unfortunately I didn't like Fall with Me.
I found the main character Roxy immature. DNF 25 %
I found the main character Roxy immature. Her silly monologues annoyed me a lot. She was obsessed with Reece. Just a couple of quotes for you:
"The driver's door opened smoothly, and my heart—my damn, traitorous bitch of a heart—skipped a beat as a long denim-clad leg appeared, along with flip-flops with a tan leather thong. Why did I have to have a thing for guys who were ballsy enough to wear flip-flops, because, oh dear, I really did think that was entirely sexy paired with faded jeans. Another leg appeared, and the door blocked the torso for a moment—only a second. The door closed, and I got an eyeful of a worn Metallica shirt that did very little to hide a well-defined, totally yummy-in-my-tummy six-pack. The shirt was practically mating with his stomach, clinging to each ripple. It was doing the same to his biceps, essentially taunting me."
"My gaze roamed over him. I was really just thinking about how the polyester material of his work pants moved along his thighs.
God, he walked with the kind of lethal grace that should be illegal."
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a drool-worthy hero. But his good looks are not enough, I want some essence behind it. And I hadn't found any here. So this constant description of his fine physic started to get on my nerves pretty quickly.
Also I have to mention "eyes-thing". I invented this term for constant descriptions of expressive and soulful hero's eyes. It's the whole trend in YA and NA nowadays. Almost every author feels the need to mention guy's eyes (not once, but constantly). It annoys me a lot.
I didn't bother to highlight every mention of eyes, but I quote a couple:
"Thick lashes lowered, shielding cobalt-blue eyes momentarily. When he looked up again, his eyes practically burned with the intensity uniquely his."
"His eyes, such a deep blue they appeared black in the low ligh"
One of the things I used to love in Jennifer L. Armentrout's books was well done sexual chemistry. I called her "chemistry queen" in one of my previous reviews. Btu I didn't feel any spark here.
Another issue I had with this book is mystery. While I love romantic suspense, this aspect of the book annoyed me.
As you can tell Fall with Me didn't work for me at all, but I'm looking forward to read The Power. I really hope it would be a winner for me.

As with the other books in this series, I enjoyed the characters, fast pace, the relationships forged and of course the romance, but what really stood out was the creep factor. The stalker element kicked this up a notch from romantic suspense to "sleep with the lights on". On more than one occasion, I found myself wanting to cover my eyes and read through my fingers. There may have also been some yelling at the characters too.

Seeing them together made me a little sad that they lost a year because of one night and a secret, but I can't deny I loved watching them find a way back to each other. They were sweet and sexy and the sparks never stopped flying between them.
The characters were great. Roxy was easily relatable on a number of levels. I loved her sarcastic t-shirts and attitude in general. I wish she had been a little more open, sooner, however. She was keeping a lot inside. And who doesn't love a hot cop? Reece was everything I love about JLA's heroes and more. He was just alpha enough without being overbearing. No player/manwhore/douchebag here. He's the real thing. And he's a little more open with the communication than Roxy was. While part of me (greedily) wishes we had seen more inside his head during this book, I don't really feel his POV was necessary. He wasn't afraid to put his feelings and thoughts out there… one more reason to adore him.
That stalker storyline? What a mindfuck. You know when you're watching a horror movie and you're all "Don't go in there girl!" … that was me with this book, except I was yelling at Roxy to not be a stupid girl. (What with her police officer boyfriend and strange things going on in nearby towns…) And I definitely took a quick break from reading to make sure my doors and windows were all securely locked. This one will get inside your head. If you live alone, I recommend reading it during daylight hours. :)
Fall with Me was (more than) a (bit of a) tearjerker, too. The story of Roxy's friend Charlie broke my heart. It's pretty much been my own personal worst nightmare (or near the top of the list, anyhow) since I became friends with so many gay men starting in college. I couldn't help but put myself in her shoes. It took awhile to get the full story and I understood her guilt once I learned all the details, but I didn't fault her. But, I also get why she felt as she did. I can't say I would've felt any differently if I was in her shoes.
This book was a great addition to the Wait for You series. I love how we get a glimpse of the other couples from the earlier books here. It's always nice to catch up with old favorites while falling in love with new characters.

I absolutely adored Roxy. She is such an awesome character. She is one of a kind and she owns it. I loved her quirky banter and how confident she comes across in what she wants. Reece was so so yummy and such a good man. He is a delicious and swoon worthy hero, but he is also a genuinely good person. I loved how up front he was with Roxy about what he wanted and where he wanted things to go. He knew he wanted Roxy and he told her. I loved how straight forward he was with her and that we never had to second guess his intentions. Also, he is a cop and that just made him so much yummier.
Roxy and Reece together were awesome. The chemistry was insane and they were just so steamy together. But they also fit together so well. Reece especially had a knack for knowing exactly what Roxy was thinking without her saying anything. I also loved that their relationship wasn't just angst on top of angst on top of angst. They have their struggles to overcome, but for the most part they were good at communicating and they didn't give up on one another the second things got crazy. And if one of them had a freak out moment, the other was able to help them through it.
What I really loved about Fall With Me though were the side stories. What Roxy has been dealing with in regards to her best friend Charlie is absolutely heartbreaking. That story line hurt my heart and I felt for her. I also loved the suspense angle in the story. It added another layer to the story that really rounded it out well. I had my suspicions but it's not easy to peg the bad guy. It was crazy and had my heart in my throat. Especially one scene towards the end, I was so nervous while reading.
Oh and of course I have to mention Katie because that girl is an absolute riot and I adore her.

When a creeper starts harassing Roxy, Reece gets involved…but his plans aren't just for protection. Reece wants a chance at Roxy's heart and boy does she give him a run for his money.
I found Fall with Me packed with highly emotionally charge subject matters. Since I was totally emotionally invested in Armentrout's characters, I truly loved this story. It's that simple, get me emotionally invested and I'm there in the story. Armentrout masterfully writes people not just characters. If you want a fabulous contemporary romance check out Fall With Me…although I do recommend you start from book 1 in this series so you don't miss anything.

I've never been so disappointed with a Jennifer L Armentrout book. This one, truly, just did not feel like anything we've gotten from her before. If there wasn't a name attached to this book, not in a million years would I guess that she wrote it.
This book was more annoying than it was anything else. I wasn't a big fan of Roxy, which was disappointing because I thought she had a lot of potential in Stay with Me. She was frustrating and overdramatic and I had a hard time relating to her at all.
Th I've never been so disappointed with a Jennifer L Armentrout book. This one, truly, just did not feel like anything we've gotten from her before. If there wasn't a name attached to this book, not in a million years would I guess that she wrote it.
The plot was so predictable I knew what was going to happen about 3 chapters into the book. After you figure out exactly what is going to happen, the rest of the book is just an annoyance of waiting for Roxy to figure it out and get her act together. I was quite bored with this because the answer to everything was right infront of her face and she was passing it off as things that are were more farfetched than what it actually was.
The highlight of this book is Reese. All 2 stars I have blessed this book with are for him. Reese was your basic NA boy, but at the same time he felt unique to me. I hadn't previously read any books involving a guy in a uniform but now I might start looking into them. He was refreshing, charming, and everything he felt throughout the entire book felt justified.
I also really like Nick and I felt that we got a much better feel for him in this book. I can see that the next book in this series is about Nick, but I'm not sure I'm actually going to read it. I think I like keeping Nick as this ambiguous character who the reader just can't pin down. I'm also not so sure I'm excited about the heroine being Steph.. I mean, I've come to terms with her as a character but do I really wan't to read a whole book about her? Not really. This will probably be the last book I read in the series.
Overall, it was disappointing and these books seem to get worse and worse as they go on. If anything, I reccomended that you read at least the first two books of the series. Those were the best ones. Once you move out of the Hamilton family, it's all downhill from there. If you really like a man in uniform, maybe you'll be able to be more forgiving of this book than I was.
2/5 Stars.

Q: How to perform a numerical integration (with limits) of discrete data in Python using Scipy? I have an experimental time signal, and I need to compute some integral out of it. In detail, I need to compute the PSD, and then compute the power in some bands of frequencies. So, it seems that scipy is the best way to compute integrals. But the algorithms simpson and trapezoid compute for the whole array. There are no integration limits
I can write a function to perform the search of the arrays and get the index of the integration limits, applying then simpson to an slice of the original array. But I was wondering if there is any other way.
Thanks
MWE
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.signal import welch
from scipy.integrate import simpson

t_0 = 0
t_N = 5
N = 10000
freq = N/(t_N-t_0)
w_1 = 1
w_2 = 5
x = np.linspace(t_0,t_N,N)
y = np.cos(2*np.pi*w_1*x) + np.sin(2*np.pi*w_2*x) + \
    0.05*np.random.randn(x.shape[0])

This is the time signal
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xlabel('t')
plt.ylabel('signal')

The PSD
f,p = welch(y,fs=freq,nperseg=2**13)
plt.plot(f,p, '-*')
plt.xlim([0,10])
plt.xlabel('f [Hz]')
plt.ylabel('PSD')

My integration function
def psd_integrate(f, p, f0, fN):
    k0, = np.where(f >= f0) # tuple unpack
    k0 = k0[0] # get 1st index
    kN, = np.where(f <= fN) # tuple unpack
    kN = kN[-1] # get last index
    return simpson(p[k0:kN], f[k0:kN])

EDIT: Forgot to add. I'm using seaborn, that's why the plots looks different from default matplotlib

How Marriages Have Changed Over The Last 100 Years
By Brittany Brolley/Updated: March 31, 2021 11:12 pm EST
For better and for worse, the world has vastly changed over the past century. By 1918, the most popular vehicle was Henry Ford's Model T and Charlie Chaplin was reigning supreme on screen. As World War I came to be, many men needed to vacate their jobs to serve in the war effort. Although women were still without voting rights, they took to the workforce en masse to fill the open positions. Other women also volunteered for active duty — a first in American history — and tens of thousands would go on to serve as Army and Navy nurses.
Relationships were also much different in those times. It wasn't until the turn of the twentieth century that dating — as opposed to courtship — became customary. Some 50 years later, "free love" — or sex without commitment — would also come into the picture. With the century-long evolvement of romantic relationships, it's not surprising that marriages would also be susceptible to change. What is surprising, however, is just how dramatically different these unions would become. Here's how — and what — marriages changed in the past 100 years.
The reason for marrying began to shift
While loveless marriages still exist today, you wouldn't call them the norm. Right up until the end of the 18th century, though, love and marriage were mutually exclusive. "Marriage was far too important as a political and economic institution — it was the way the upper class signed peace treaties and made war," Stephanie Coontz, a professor of history and family studies at Evergreen State College and director of research and public education for the Council on Contemporary Families, told Public Radio International (PRI). For middle-class folks, marriage was essentially a way to make a business arrangement and, for the lower class, "it was the way you got your working partner."
It took a while for people to fully grasp the idea of love and marriage being two members of the same team. By the early 1900s, another mentality also worked its way into the equation. "We added to this the idea that marriage should be based on sexual attraction and fulfillment," Coontz explained. Essentially, this is how the "opposites attract" philosophy got its start.
The marriage rate and the Great Depression
Just because love and attraction became more and more important as the twentieth century progressed, waiting "too long" to marry was not exactly acceptable — and this was the case for both men and women. "There was a lot of social pressure from elites who could penalize people — as late as the 1950s and '60s, a man who wasn't married or who was divorced was often passed over for a promotion," Coontz told PRI. And what about women? Well, as the professor explained, "a woman was just basically no where." Sigh.
Although there was a ton of societal pressure to marry placed on the shoulders of men and women, the Great Depression had other ideas. According to History, high unemployment rates prevented couples from being able to afford to start families of their own. Likewise, the marriage rate in the United States fell a staggering 22 percent between the years of 1929 to 1933.
The "golden age of marriage" wasn't really so golden
Hope for marriage may have seemed lost by the '30s, but World War II — and the subsequent "industrial boom"— brought with it a surge of matrimony. By the 1950s, the United States was entering its so-called "golden age of marriage." But, as the old Shakespearean adage goes, all that glitters is not gold. This would be especially true of the '50s marriage model.
"People look back to that as the traditional family, but it was probably the only time in history when a vast majority of women did not work," Coontz told PRI. Men who farmed for a living were not accompanied by their wives nor were the men who ran small businesses. Thus, the "male breadwinner" dynamic took root, but, according to Coontz, that is "not the least bit traditional, and it was organized around these very rigid gender roles."
Marriage would be complicated further because of quick six-month courtships, making it difficult for couples to truly get to know one another. That's not to say all midcentury marriages were doomed, but, as Coontz said, "Basically you married a gender stereotype and you didn't have a lot to negotiate."
The case for Loving
In an incredibly bleak time in American history, intermarriage, or interracial marriage, was considered illegal in certain states. A change was set in motion when Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple who'd married in Washington, D.C. in 1958 were arrested upon returning to Virginia. After pleading guilty, the state ordered the husband and wife to leave the state. On the Lovings' behalf, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) began the appeal process and, some years later in 1967, the Supreme Court ruled that marriage "across racial lines" was legal in all states.
That same year, intermarriage made up around three percent of all marriages and has continued to increase since, according to the Pew Research Center. By 2015, one in six newlyweds were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity. That same year, there was also a 15 percent increase from 2010 in the number of people who think a "growing number of people marrying someone of a different race is good for society."
The start of voluntarily childless marriages
"Voluntary childlessness is becoming an increasingly prevalent alternative lifestyle in contemporary American society," wrote a Family Relations journal article (via JSTOR). While you could think that was written today, that was actually published some three decades ago.
While the rate of childlessness in ever-married women between the ages of 20 and 24 was around 25 percent back in the "baby boom" of 1960, it jumped to a whopping 44 percent by 1975. By 1979, it was estimated that ten percent of women who are, or were ever, married would continue to be childless and about five percent would do so voluntarily. Five percent may not seem like a huge number, but with the baby boom not far behind them, that's a big deal.
Voluntarily childless marriages were, of course, made easier to achieve with the legalization of the birth control pill. Though the contraceptive earned FDA approval in 1960, it wasn't legalized throughout the country until 1965. At that time, it was solely for married couples.
Between 1920 and 1940, the average age of women and men when they first married didn't fluctuate too much. Grooms were saying "I do" at an average of 24 years old, while brides were approximately 21. The 1950s saw even younger couples getting married. Women, on average, were walking down the aisle at just 20 years old and men were between the ages of 22 and 23. If you can't remember a time when people married so young, this is because all of this changed when the 1980s came around.
For the first time in over 90 years, women were getting married at the average age of 22. This number would continue to creep upward throughout each decade that spanned further and further into the twentieth century. And, by 2010, women had decided to wait until the average age of 26 to get married. Men averaged two years older at 28. These days, a 20-year-old bride or a 22-year-old groom would be quite the rarity.
The "rise in cohabitation" versus marriage
Divorce rates have decreased since the 1980s, yet nearly 50 percent of all marriages still end in divorce. The boom of divorces pre-1980, as well as the less-than-favorable current odds, have scared some people away from the idea of marriage. Robert Emery, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia told the school's publication, "It makes young people today less secure in the idea of committing to and being in a lasting marriage. Much of the rise in cohabitation as an alternative to marriage is actually an alternative to divorce." He added, saying, "If you never make a commitment, you are never going to divorce."
The professor wasn't kidding when he mentioned the "rise in cohabitation." According to the National Marriage Project, the number of unmarried couples in the U.S. was nearly five million in the year 2000. In 1960, that number was a paltry 500,000. It's estimated that about a quarter of women between the ages of 25 and 39 are now living with their partner and half have lived with a partner at some point. That's a whole lot of cohabiting.
The inclusion of same-sex couples
Although the first documented gay rights organization dates back to 1924, some 90 years would pass before same-sex marriage was legally recognized. In June 2015 — aka the twenty-first century — the United States became the twenty-first country to recognize same-sex marriages. This came to fruition after the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples would be free to marry in all 50 states and thus were entitled to the same legal rights and benefits afforded to heterosexual couples.
With the newfound freedom to marry, many same-sex couples did just that. In August 2017, just two years and two months after the Supreme Court ruling, over ten percent of of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) adults in the United States were reported to be married to a same-sex spouse, according to Gallup. Prior to the Supreme Court's decision, that number was a little under eight percent. Gallup also estimates that, as of 2017, 61 percent of same-sex, cohabiting couples residing in the U.S. have since married, which is a 38 percent increase pre-ruling.
The marriage rate is back on the decline
Even with more same-sex marriages occurring since 2015, the overall marriage rate is declining at a rapid pace, and has since 1970. The U.S. marriage rate among women is actually the lowest it has been in over a century. From just the '70s, the marriage rate has fallen by a staggering 60 percent, according to data compiled by Family Profiles. You may have noticed this in the lack of wedding invitations tacked to your fridge. But, just why is the marriage rate falling — and why is it doing so at such a hurried pace?
"I think we are on the cusp of seeing marriage becoming less central to our life course and in framing the lives of our nation's children. So I think it is a major moment in that regard," Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project and a sociology professor at the University of Virginia, told BBC. Many experts also highlight the women's liberation movement as a reason. Simply put, marriage became no longer necessary for women — economically speaking. Cohabitation and the fear of divorce, as mentioned earlier, are also likely factors contributing to the matrimonial nosedive.
So, is marriage going extinct?
Millions of years from now, will archaeologists excavate marriage certificates and wedding bands like fossils? Will children ask their parents, "Mom, dad, what's a wedding?" It's weird to think of marriage going the way of dinosaurs, but, according to experts, it's entirely possible. Per the book Marriage and Modernization: How Globalization Threatens Marriage, select British social scientists have predicted that "marriage is doomed and will be virtually extinct within 30 years." Duncan White, head of Relate, an expansive organization of marriage counselors, thinks that "only one in five long-term couples will be married" — at least across the pond in Britain — before the three decades are up.
However, when 60 Minutes and Vanity Fair (via CBS News) polled Americans for their thoughts on the purpose of marriage, 54 percent labeled it "a mark of commitment" while 23 percent said it was a way "to provide for raising children." It's true that 20 percent thought marriage "doesn't have much of a purpose," but there's still many more Americans who do think marriage is relevant. With so much change in just one century, though, you have to wonder how this thinking will continue to evolve.

The 2020 Summer Olympic Games are set to be hosted in Tokyo, Japan on July 24th – August 9th. The current state of society is one that is in no place to host any type of event at this time, but what nobody knows if the world will be ready by July 24, 2020.
According to Haruyuki Takahashi, one of the members of the Tokyo 2020 executive board stated, "We need to start preparing for any possibility. If the Games can't be held in the summer, a delay of one or two years would be most feasible."
Then later clarified that his statement was a personal opinion and not a professional statement on the matter and that the IOC President, Thomas Bach states that the Games must go on.
On Friday, March 13, Japan's Olympic Minister Seiko Hashimoto dismissed suggestions that Tokyo 2020 should be postponed.
At this time, the Games are not going anywhere except Opening Ceremonies on July 24, 2020. There are major financial, scheduling, and logistical implications if the games were to get postponed a year or two. The cost of hosting these Games in Tokyo has exceeded $12.35 billion, according to the organizing committee.
Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, stated the Games are to go on as planned "without a hitch." I do not see a world that these Games go on "without a hitch" while having spectators in attendance. Being in attendance at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro myself, the close proximity and mass amounts of spectators from all over the world will cause a resurgence of an outbreak shortly after the time of the Tokyo Games.
Japan has had more than 1,400 cases of the coronavirus, but avoided an increase in cases. I can see a scenario where the Games happen with ZERO spectators with the IOC implementing an extensive screening process for the countries that enter within a certain permitter of any Olympic facility.
There are billions of dollars poured into the largest sporting event in the world along with a decade of planning. Sponsors, media rights, governing bodies, and athletes are not going to be able to cancel or just postpone such an event. The last time an Olympics was outright cancelled was in 1940 and 1944 for World War II, then before that in 1916 for World War I. There were nowhere near the financial implications on an event like this at that time compared to now.
The current format of the Summer and Winter Olympics alternating every two years started in 1994. At that time, the Winter Olympics only had a two year gap from the previous in 1992, the last time the Summer and Winter Games were held in the same year. This would be an extenuating circumstance to call for another hiccup in the pattern and postpone the Olympics to 2021 or 2022. I believe 2021 is the best option, as having two Olympic Games in the same calendar year is going to be tough logistically in this day in age.
Bumping the Olympics back to 2021 will cause all governing bodies of Summer Olympic sports to shift their entire 2021 schedule. But for the overall health and wellness of the athletes, coaches, staff, and spectators this is the right move. The 2020 Olympics Games are expected to bring in 11,091 athletes from 206 countries for 339 events in 33 sports.
The 2016 Olympic Games brought in 500,000 tourists (including me) to the city of Rio de Janeiro, that had a population of 6 million at the time. The 2020 Olympic Games are predicted to bring in one million toursists from around the globe PER DAY, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO). The population of of Tokyo is over 13 million people, with the Greater Tokyo Area population over 38 million, making this city the most densely populated city in the world.
The 2016 Olympic Games were worried about contracting the Zika virus, and I wasn't worried much about that, in fact while I was there for a month I only saw two mosquitos in my time in Rio. But this is a whole different ball game, you can't see it coming and you don't know who has it and an event this size in a city this size can cause a second wave mass outbreak in August.
IOC President Thomas Bach & Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, do the right thing and move the Games to Summer 2021 for the sake of the human race.

Q: redefinition; previous definition was 'typedef' error I got the following error:

error C2365: 'DECIMAL' : redefinition; previous definition was 'typedef'

for the following definition in the header file:
enum DATA_TYPE {DECIMAL, HEXA, STRING};

I understood that this error occur by duplicate definitions, but there isn't another known defintion like that, and there aren't including files in this header file.
Which other reasons can cause that error?

A: Somewhere in your included header files, or the files they include ad infinitum, there is a definition of DECIMAL as a typedef.
Do not go looking for it! Well, do if you really want to but you aren't going to be able to do anything about it. Just rename your enum to something sensible like DT_DECIMAL.
If you really want to keep using DECIMAL and avoid this error there are two strategies. One is to use namespaces, to put your names into a different namespace from that other pesky definition.
The other (old school) way is to use a masking macro definition.
