Book Description:
Oliver Hannel, England’s sexiest new star, has finally moved from the television screen to the silver screen, playing comic book hero The Shock in Hollywood’s upcoming blockbuster. While filming one summer night in the midwestern town of Greenfield, Indiana, Oliver finds himself witnessing a crime in progress. Will he embrace his inner superhero and save the day? Or will he remember he isn’t invincible and call for help?
Layla Brooks is a small town girl with a big spirited heart, especially when it comes to her twin sister, Lucy. She’ll rest at nothing to protect her from a casino mogul’s henchman bent on collecting a debt… even if that includes taking her sister’s punishment. But a strange suited man out from the shadows isn’t about to let that happen.
Oliver and Layla’s opposite worlds collide with a Bam! But are either of them ready for the lies, truth and lust that comes along with a relationship born of shock? Or will their love come and go as fast as a bolt of lightning?
Book Excerpt:
Falling for Shock
CHAPTER
ONE
“CUT!” the director called.
Oliver breathed a sigh of relief. He was in dire need of finding
a bathroom; the straps of his flying harness were cutting into his full
bladder. On the street below, the crew wasted no time disassembling set
dressings and props. The cameramen turned off their equipment and congratulated
themselves on a good day, while the dolly grips trudged the cameras down
aluminum tracks. A twinge tightened in his groin and Oliver shifted, trying to
redistribute the pressure. It was no use.
“Come on guys,” he grumbled, but he was thirty-feet in the
air, who could hear him?
The more hustle and bustle beneath his booted feet, the more
he was convinced they’d forgotten their superhero…again. With his thumb and
forefinger in his mouth, he blew a shrill whistle. “Hey! Will someone get me
down?”
Dean Clemens, the movie director, lifted his head to the
sky. “Sorry, pal! Mike, let Ollie down.”
“Thank you!” Oliver called out and the rigging creaked and
groaned as he slowly descended.
My Book Review:
Who doesn't love reading a love story featuring an actor turned real life superhero who rescues a damsel in distress?!
In Falling for Shock, author Eryn LaPlant weaves a delightful romantic tale that follows the love story of Oliver Hannel and Layla Brooks. From their unexpected first meeting to their blossoming relationship, Oliver and Layla's journey to falling in love is filled with enough drama, suspense, romance, passion, and surprising twists and turns that easily keeps the reader guessing and turning the pages. I loved how the author intertwines the development of Layla and Oliver's relationship with the sibling relationship between Layla and her twin sister Lucy. This was such a fun story to read, it will make your heart race, and wish that you had your very own superhero!
Falling for Shock is a well written romance story that leaves the reader wanting more!

Book Description:
Edward Hannel is not the man he once was. Tragedy has struck him down, leaving him a shell of his former self. He wants nothing to do with Interpol or the sexy Agent Giosino and her plan to take down the criminal who extorted his brother two years prior. That is until he discovers the madman’s vengeance is still focused on his family.
As they race to capture Khai and protect Edward’s family, neither Cara nor Edward realizes the depth to which this case will take them or how fast their partnership will bloom. And they certainly don’t expect to find such bliss in each other's arms when they finally give in to letting go and being free.
Book Excerpt:
Falling for Freedom
PROLOGUE
1997
Washington D.C.
U.S.A
“Hi. I’m Cara Giosino and I’m here in the J. Edgar Hoover
building learning how to be an FBI agent—Ugh! That sucked.”
Cara clicked the remote to her dad’s video camera so she
could start all over again. She tossed her hair over her shoulder, happy to see
that it fluttered like one of those shampoo commercials all black and flowy in
the view finder screen. Maybe she could make her sixth grade career day video
on being a hair model instead. No, no, no she wanted to be an agent just like
her dad, a few doors down from where she was in the conference room where she
was recording. Everyone in her family worked for some big government agency and
so would she one day. Uncle Tommy worked in the Las Vegas field office FBI and
her grandpa was in the CIA, though no one knew where he was at the moment.
Her eye caught the clock on the wall. It was almost
lunchtime. She had to get going. Her dad was taking her out for pizza. Clearing
her throat nice and loud, Cara clicked record and started again, this time
flashing a big smile for the camera. “Coming to you live from the J. Edgar
Hoover building, it’s the future Special Agent Cara Giosino.” She tisked and
shook her head. “That sucked too. I sound like a stupid game show guy.”
She reset again, got serious and got rid of her cheesy grin.
“Hi. I’m with my dad, head of the D.C. Counterterrorism Division, at the FBI.
My name is Cara Giosino and when I grow up I want to be just like h—“
RAT TAT TAT TAT TAT TAT!!
A ferocious, loud, mechanical noise made her jump and
scream, holding her ears. She dropped to the ground, landing on her purple book
bag. Other people were screaming and yelling too, the kind of hollering that
sounded hurt and scared. Was that gunfire?
My Book Review:
What can be more exciting than an Interpol Agent and an FBI Special Agent becoming each other's hero?
In Falling for Freedom, the second book in the Falling For Heroes Series, author Eryn LaPlant once again engages the reader by weaving an intriguing and suspenseful romantic tale that follows the love story of FBI Special Agent Cara Giosino and Interpol Agent Edward Hannel. Edward is a heartbroken man and Cara is just sassy and relentless enough to get him to help her solve her case. Cara and Edward's journey to falling in love is filled with enough emotion, drama, suspense, humor, romance, passion, and surprising twists and turns that easily keeps the reader guessing and turning the pages. I loved how Cara and Edward's partnership unexpectedly develops into a relationship, their story easily engages the reader to follow their thrilling pursuit to solve the case, get justice, and let go enough of the past to fall in love.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much I enjoyed that the author interwove the relationship between Edward and brothers Oliver, who the reader was introduced to in Falling for Shock, the first book in the series, and Rhys, the middle brother, whose story is featured in Falling for Phoenix, the third book in the series.
Falling for Freedom is a well written and exciting romance story that will leave the reader wanting more!
