Tour Stop + Review + Excerpt: To the Fall by Prescott Lane
To the Fall by Prescott Lane
Publication Date: March 8th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
You know the story.
Boy meets girl, they fall in love, two kids, white picket fence.
This isn’t that story.
This is more like . . .
Man meets woman. Man sleeps with woman.
Man meets another woman, sleeps with her.
And so on. You get the idea.
I own a small boutique hotel in New Orleans, the Kingston. I’ve seen men do some stupid stuff in the name of the woman they love, or at least the woman they love for the night.
That’s not me. I’m always in control. You’d be surprised how much you can get away with on just good manners and a smile. It’s the only way to keep my secrets safely locked away.
And my smile hides a lot. Until her.
She turns me down flat.
Playing hard to get is my favorite game.
It’s the thrill of the chase.
Only problem is, I think it’s me that’s getting caught.

Review
It's as emotional as Prescott Lane's books usually are, seriously that's what I love the most about them. There is so much angst and a little bit mystery involved as well. Since the moment I started the book I wanted to know what this bog secret is that Annie keeps wanting to talk about.... However, it's not really her story.
It's a story about a guy who is afraid of falling in love. His whole life is ruled by one rule i.e. just sex. He doesn't believe in relationships and he most definitely doesn't believe in happily-ever-afters. Little does he know that life is going to change pretty soon and he will realise how little control over it he actually had, most of it was just an illusion.
Sutton is the woman who comes into his life quite suddenly and simply refuses to play by his rules. She is as stubborn as he is, maybe even more, but that's a good thing. Although, she can't trust him unless he is willing to open up to her. She wants to know all there is to know about him and she won't be satisfied with anything less...
So it's their story, Pierce's and the woman who is going to protect his heart for him, because whether he likes it or not, she has it.

It's a very well-written novel. The only issue I had with it was how much Pierce talked and how little there was about Sutton. It was very difficult for me to connect with her as heroine, she seemed lacking in that department, perfect on her own but somehow not enough for Pierce; which did change at the end of the book, hence the 4.5 Stars. If not for that little detail it would've been a definite 5 Stars read. In any case, I did enjoy it a lot and would recommend to all readers, especially those who like emotional stories that are both tragic and happy at the same time.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
Excerpt
Dr. Lorraine laughs and pulls out her prescription pad. Scribbling something, she turns it to me. The title reads: The sex diet.
I bust out laughing.
“You’re writing me a sex prescription.”
“Sort of,” she says. “You ever gone on a diet before?”
“No.”
“The thing with diets is, you usually start off strict.”
"How did I know that?”
“No touching by either party, not even kissing.”
"Wait, not even a hand job?” I ask.
“You’ve got your own hands. Use them.”
She writes jerking off on her script pad, then puts a checkmark beside it. This is the craziest shit.
“Once a day as needed,” she says, writing that down.
“I’ll never make it.”
“How many times do you want?” she asks.
“At least twice, morning and before bed.”
She shakes her head. “Okay, twice a day,” she says and points her pencil at me. “That’s it.”
“I really don’t think I need . . .”
“You won’t be released from therapy until I’m satisfied you’ve completed this,” she says.
She has me by the balls, and she knows it. I can’t believe I’m being forced to agree to this, but what choice do I have?
“I haven’t had sex in a couple days. Can I get credit for that?”
“No,” she laughs out. “Start fresh today.”
“Porn?”
“What about it?”
“Can I use it?” I ask.
“You don’t have enough memories to sustain you?” she asks.
“Good point.”
She gets to her feet and sticks out her hand. “Good luck.”
Shaking her hand and smiling, I’m sure I’ve got this.
I bite the inside of my mouth, realizing the old lady has tricked me. It’s Thursday. I’m not seeing her again until Tuesday.
That’s five days! Shit, what have I done?
