I also enjoyed that, while love was the focus, there was also a lot about friendship and the type of family bond that comes with shared experiences over time. I did love that all four stories happened during the same time period – medieval England – and that they were all connected in one way or another, eventually leading up to Daniel and Luce’s Valentines Day. Even during a romantic moment together, Luce wasn’t able to completely set aside her worries and just live for the moment. Luce’s anxiousness permeated the pages, in her desire to uncover more clues about her past and what she needs to change in order to be with Daniel in the present. But their love story was tainted after Tess decided to present Arriane with an ultimatum – something someone truly in love would never force upon their loved one.įallen in Love’s last story, The Valentine of Daniel and Lucinda, was one I could have done without.

Learning about Arriane’s sordid love affair with one of Lucifer’s demons, a passion that spanned a millennia that neither time nor distance seemed able to weaken, was heartbreakingly beautiful. While I empathized with his torment over how things ended with his first – and only – love, I couldn’t truly connect to him because I couldn’t place him in Fallen’s overall plot.įallen in Love’s third story, Love: The Valentine of Arriane, started out quite promising. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read any of the Fallen books in a while, but I had a hard time remembering who Roland was.

I wasn’t as big a fan of Fallen in Love’s second story, Love Lessons: The Valentine of Roland. Their nighttime picnic under a starry sky sealed the deal, and had me instantly swooning for their fledgling relationship.

The way Shelby kept catching herself staring at Miles once his hat was lost, getting caught up in his clear blues eyes, had me stopping to catch my breath a couple times. I loved seeing the lighter side to both Miles and Shelby, and their uncertainty about their growing feelings was extremely endearing.

Split into four different love stories, Fallen in Love was heartwarming and a fun addition to Lauren Kate’s Fallen series.įallen in Love’s first story, Love Where You Least Expect It: The Valentine of Shelby and Miles, was adorable.

Last day of love lauren kate
