Overview
“Matchmaker” – My mom always told me, “The bigger you are, the harder you fall.” But as a professional athlete, I’ve never fallen in love. That doesn’t stop me from setting up my friends and watching their love stories unfold.
I believe in love, but I’m not interested in experiencing it myself. That is, until I met her.
Hollis Westbrooke is the daughter of my boss and the one person who turned down my proposition for a date. It was all a joke, but now I can’t stop thinking about her.
The problem? She’s not interested in players like me.
As I try to win her over, I realize that my biggest fall might be the one where I finally let love in.

Editoral Review
Sara Ney’s latest book, “Hard Fall,” is a captivating romance novel that delves into the complexities of love, trust, and betrayal. Ney is an accomplished author who has written several successful books, and “Hard Fall” is another stellar addition to her works.
The novel follows the story of Jock Row University football player, Tanner, who is on a quest to win back his ex-girlfriend, Autumn. As he navigates his way through the ups and downs of love, Tanner meets Autumn’s roommate, Autumn’s friend, and agrees to tutor her.
Thus begins the complicated and tumultuous love triangle between Tanner, Autumn, and Scarlett. Ney’s writing style is captivating and enthralling.
The plotline is well-orchestrated, and each twist and turn is carefully crafted to keep the reader engaged. The characters in the novel are well-developed, and their emotions, motivations, and actions are all believable and relatable.
Ney has a knack for portraying the complexities of human interactions, and this is evident in her skills as a writer. One of the strengths of the book is the way it deals with the issues of trust and betrayal.
The novel explores the idea of how easy it is to lose someone’s trust and how hard it is to gain it back. Ney also delves into the complexities of love and relationships and how they can be influenced by external factors.
Another notable aspect of the book is the way it portrays the college setting. Ney has a knack for capturing the essence of college life – the parties, the friendships, the rivalries, and the academics – and this is evident in the way she portrays the various scenes in the book.
Her writing is vivid and engaging, and the reader can easily visualize the scenes in their mind. The only real weakness in the book is the lack of diversity in the characters.
The novel could have benefited from a more diverse set of characters, and this could have added another layer of complexity to the plotline. Overall, “Hard Fall” is an engrossing book that is sure to leave readers wanting more.
Ney has once again proven her skills as a writer, and her ability to craft a compelling love story is evident throughout the novel. The book is highly recommended for fans of the romance genre or anyone looking for a light and engaging read.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give “Hard Fall” an 8.5.
