Fear of Falling by Catherine Lanigan is the story of Olivia Melton, who is afraid of taking a chance and making herself vulnerable to rejection. This 28-year-old woman is trying to run from her past and create a future that gives her a fulfilling life. As a photographer, she has the ability to appreciate the little pleasures of life. She hopes to create a career and sell the pictures she loves to take. She meets Rafe by chance. Handsome Rafe Barzonni is the epitome of masculinity, and Olivia feels an instant attraction to him.

However, he is obsessed with winning the Kentucky Derby. His prized horse is beautiful and amazing enough to captivate Olivia. Olivia’s father left her and her mother because of his gambling issue, and now she is falling for a man who is obsessed with horses and racing. Will Olivia be able to find it in her heart to take a chance? Or will she be too afraid of the dangers of betting and leave Rafe behind?

Fear of Falling is a great romance. It feels like a Harlequin romance. This clean, passionate and tender romance is a fun read. I completed it in one sitting. You will not be able to put this book down. The characters are memorable and believable. I felt that Olivia’s hang-ups were a little too much, but it was fun at the same time too. It gave me something to hang on to and see what happens in the end. All in all, this is a great romance novel that you would love to share with your daughters one day. A good romance that everyone can enjoy and appreciate.
