Publisher's Synopsis
A year and a half after her husband's death, Lina Miller is untethered and out of her element-the worst-case scenario for a rock-climbing chemist. But the pressure is on from her PhD advisor, and she's quickly approaching the critical point when she must decide what's next.
Her one rule? Career first, love second.
But rules have never stopped Asher Friedmann.
As a New York City musician, the last thing that Asher needs is a heart that's out of tune. Unfortunately, that's all he's got. Plus a trust fund. But what he wants is a new muse, and he's willing to go to great lengths-and heights-to find her.
When the two meet at a party, Lina gives him a chance...as a climbing buddy. But soon Lina finds herself dealing with a different kind of chemistry, one that could end up hurting them both. Will their bond be enough to overcome their past traumas, or will they have to face the music?
Reviews from early readers (see Goodreads page):
"I loved Book 1 and of course approached the sequel with some trepidation that it wouldn't live up to my very high expectations. Good news - Falling For You is awesome, and possibly better than book 1!" -Katherine Grant, author of The Countess Chronicles
"Many sequels fall short of the original but author Jen Trinh somehow manages to deliver a fresh read and plot line and yet with all the charm, originality, and wittiness that had me fall in love with the first Burlfriends book. I've read many romantic novels and I have to say that this is the first one in a while that not only had steamy sex scenes (let's be real, they are great) but had well-developed characters AND a plot line I couldn't have predicted." -Fannie, reader and climber
"The characters had so many dimensions, the puns were wonderful, and the storylines were complex and interesting. One of my favorite things about stories by Jen Trinh is how the characters have to grow into themselves, become individuals who are more true to themselves, before they can be happy together. It's such a powerful and important message, and this book is a perfect example for how Trinh does this so skillfully." -Sarah, reader and academic
