One week of adventure might just lead to love…

Julia Evans has always put others ahead of herself—her high school math students, her troubled best friend, and her ex. But with New Year's approaching, she buys a round trip ticket to Brazil. For one week, she can put her needs first. She can meet a stranger in the hotel pool at midnight and dance all night on the beach.

Screenwriter Blake Williams has to keep moving before Oz’s latest scandal catches up to him. But the dark-haired beauty with a backpack and an adventurous streak is messing with his plans. He can’t seem to walk away from her. But secrets have a way of coming out, and when the week is up, Julia and Blake will have to decide if they’re jumping into the biggest adventure of all or playing it safe.

Rebecca Brooks lives in New York City in an apartment filled with books. She received a PhD in English but decided it was more fun to write books than write about them. She has backpacked alone through India and Brazil, traveled by cargo boat down the Amazon River, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, explored ice caves in Peru, trekked to the source of the Ganges, and sunbathed in Burma, but she always likes coming home to a cold beer and her hot husband in the Bronx.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Beautiful Romance Novel
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2016

Brooks produces absolutely lovely writing, especially in describing the intricacies of the setting. The chemistry between the characters feels real and easy to relate to; overall, the characters were both believable and extremely likable. While I'm not usually a fan of romance genre fiction, I gave this book a chance and was really glad I did. The narrative that she spun was dazzling and easy to imagine.

I really connected to Julia's journey of self-discovery and I think that the way it was intertwined with the romantic and sexual aspects of the book was, frankly, well done. Brooks didn't rely on cliches of the genre in Julia's "finding herself" and instead created many introspective moments of internal dialogue that were honest and very reflective. In particular, I really liked the ongoing metaphor of skydiving and what she could do for herself-- taking those steps and learning how to be consciously in control of her own life, even when there was conflict with Blake. There was a certain female empowerment/feminist skew to the story and the writing that made it so much more compelling than a lot of romance genre fiction.

Overall, I'd *highly* recommend How to Fall. The writing is superb, the characters are incredibly real, and the narrative arc is well-structured and satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy vacation romance that is super well-written
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016

How to Fall is the smartest, sexiest travel romance I’ve yet read. Romance isn’t usually my go-to genre (erotica and fancy literature are more often on my reading list), but I couldn’t stop reading this. I could relate to the quiet Julia making a big change and taking a wild vacation in Brazil. The fantasy of meeting a hot Australian stranger while she’s there is just perfect—great escapist fun.

That being said, the story still feels relatable and the descriptions are so good I feel like I’ve gone to Brazil even though I’ve never been (and now I so want to go!). Everything from the food to the weather to the feel-good vibes sound amazing and the story captured it all.

The connection between Julia and Blake is steamy, and there’s just the right balance of sexy scenes and budding romance to keep me interested in finding out what they’re going to do in and out of the bedroom.

The writing is also superb, which I don’t see often enough in romance. Will be reading more of Rebecca Brook’s novels!

Actual 3.5
Julia starts out quite bland-the rule follower per say-you know there is more to her besides the boring existence she has mapped out for herself, it's just a matter of finding the right key to click into her personality.
Blake appears to be the opposite of Julia with his vibrant personality and zest for adventure. He's laid back and sweet but sort of hiding from reality for a little while.
These two meet under interesting circumstances and what starts out as a one night stand becomes a lot more during the course of the week Julia vacations in Brazil.
The characters were reasonably fleshed out and had fun personalities and decent chemistry. I did feel, however, that the main focus was Brazil. The lush descriptions really made me feel like I was there-which was great-but I did wish there was more emotional development between Julia and Blake and more discussion between them regarding their relationship They had their moments, yet it seemed to be second fiddle to the setting more often than not. Also, I am seriously hoping there is a lost chapter somewhere for an epilogue..I need closure! The ending felt slightly rushed and was left open-ended so it's readers choice as to what you think happens afterwards and that's perfectly fine-I just like tidy endings with a definitive HEA!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great contemporary romance
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016

This is my first read from author Rebecca Brooks and it was well worth it! Julia and Blake have great heated chemistry and their backstories are believable. I love all the modern angles of this novel (hero + heroine initially want only a vacation fling) but I especially enjoyed how naturally their love story developed. Julia is sweet, likeable, mature and refreshingly independent. Blake is sometimes an ass, but those moments resolve well and their are some scenes where he is unbelievably charming. The writing is more than solid - in fact some passages are frankly poetic which, in the romantic genre, is an occurrence that is few and far between. Additionally Brooks' descriptions of Brazil and - oh my taste buds - Brazilian **food** is so richly well done it's like the country and its delicious culture are additional characters. Definitely 5 stars and definitely Brooks is an author to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, sexy and adult.
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016

How to Fall is a most welcome departure from the tired one dimensional virgins reforming bad boys story line you see all too often in romance novels. Rebecca Brooks took the time to develop mature characters who stay true to their core personas while still believably evolving as individuals. The narrative switches between Julia and Blake's respective perspectives, further engrossing you in the budding romance of the protagonists. The richness of the character development only adds to the heat of the story.
Excellent attention to detail about the characters' experiences in Brazil make you almost forget you're reading a romance novel until one of the many hot scenes bubble up.
Kudos to the author for including responsible, safe sex !
Overall a sexy, fun and worthwhile read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy overseas romance!
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016

This was a steamy and fun read between two well-developed characters who meet in Brazil on vacation: an American teacher who needs a little fun in her life and an Australian screenwriter who needs something he can count on. Brooks writes well, and this was evident here, and she also writes some superhot sex scenes (the pool! the back of the bus!), which is fun. This would make a great book to bring along on your summer vacation!
