Blurb: When Scott Alan gets a phone call that his brother was hurt on a logging job, he rushes to Brian’s side, only to find that his injuries are minor-but not before he meets Hank Ballam, an adrenaline-seeking logger who’s an outcast among his co-workers.
Hank is a study in contrast: he lives for the rush of climbing and cutting trees almost as much as he loves the peace he finds exploring the mountains he calls home. Scott’s attraction to Hank is immediate and mind-blowing, and it’s what Scott has always wanted: to know what it’s like to love someone he can’t live without. Scott needs to know if Hank’s true feelings will be a roar of passion or simply a quiet friendship, one that doesn’t match Scott’s devotion.
But it may be too late… Scott simply can’t help himself from falling hard for Hank.

Review: Scott Alan is a gay singer, songwriter that left home as soon as he was able. He wasn’t running from his past or his sexuality, he just didn’t want to be in the place where his parents had died any longer. He and his brother Brian are very close. He basically raised Scott after their mother died. Then when their father died in a logging accident, Brian took over the family business. Scott rushes back home when he gets the news that his brother has been in an accident.
Hank Ballam is a wild card. He works hard and plays harder. He loves his job working for Brian Alan as a logger, but he loves to party and drink as well. After an accident leaves Brian hospitalized, Hank blames himself, as do some of their co-workers. When Scott arrives and witness’s the way Hank is being treated, he quickly comes to his defense. There is just something about Hank that makes Scott want to protect him.
Scott decides to stay on indefinitely to take care of his brother, and spend more time getting to know Hank. A swim in the lake during a camping trip starts a whirlwind love affair for these two. What started out as nothing serious soon ends with both men falling, hard. When Hank is injured on the job Scott will realize just how deep his love for the big burly logger goes.
This is not your typical straight guy just miraculously turns gay story. Hank confesses to Scott that he’s messed around with a couple of guys over the years. He’s had an active sex life with woman, he just never quite felt comfortable with them though. Let me tell you that these two cannot keep their hands off each other! They are passionate, sexy, and loving. Seriously, when they kiss it could melt the walls it’s so hot.
Narrated by Charlie David, and I do love Charlie. His little noises, grunts and pants while he’s conveying the story are just spot on, as they should be. Well written as a book and well versed in audio, I highly recommend this story. Sweet, sexy and endearing. Falling is a perfect little love story.
