Synopsis

In Fall for Him by Andie Burke, seven-hundred-fifty square feet isn’t enough for the home-renovation-fueled hatred and the building sexual tension.

Dylan Gallagher’s hot neighbor loathed him from the second he moved in, and causing a flood, falling through the floor, and landing directly onto that same neighbor’s bed probably means that’s unlikely to change. The poorly timed “It’s Raining Men” joke didn’t help.

Meanwhile, ER nurse Derek Chang’s life is a literal when-rains-it-pours nightmare. A man he hates dropped into his life along with an astronomically expensive problem originating from Derek’s own apartment’s plumbing. Also, the local HOA tyrant has been sniffing around trying to fine him for his extended, illicit banned breed dog-sitting.

Since Dylan also wants to keep the catastrophe quiet, he offers to fix the damage himself. Dylan’s sure he’s not Derek’s type, so he focuses all his ADHD hyper fixation energy on getting the repair job done as quickly as possible—avoiding doing anything stupid like acting on his very inconvenient crush. Meanwhile Derek tries to ignore that the tattooed nerd sleeping on the couch is surprisingly witty, smart, and kind, despite the long-term grudge Derek’s been holding against him. But will squeezing all their emotional baggage plus a dog into a tiny one-bedroom apartment be a major disaster…or just prove they’re made for each other?

Fall for Him combines banter, hijinks, and heart in a story of finding out what it means to fix things after your life crumbles.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

About Andie Burke

Andie Burke writes books with queer kissing and happily ever afters. She was originally an English major who decided to jump into a pediatric nursing career. Her writing is inspired by over a decade spent working in hospitals with patients of all ages. After the last couple years spent in the pandemic ER, she escaped to an outpatient pediatric sedation unit. Andie lives in a blue house in Maryland with an alarming number of books and an embarrassing number of ultra-fine point pens. When she’s not writing, she’s probably feeding snacks to the two small human creatures who live with her or trying not to kill her chaotic houseplants. You can find her on Bookstagram adding to her ever-expanding TBR or letting her ADHD brain happily dissociate while listening to Taylor Swift.

Goodreads review by Jena on September 24, 2024

I love being gay. We have such good books. I absolutely adored Andie Burke's debut novel, and because of that, I went into this book with very high expectations. I also immediately loved the premise of this story, so those expectations got raised even higher. I've beyond happy to say that not only we......more

Post reading: I LOVED the start, I loved the dog, I loved the whole Fixer Upper story with all the family side characters, I LOVED THE ADHD REPRESENTATION.

4.25ish stars! Andie Burke's FALL FOR HIM is a delightful and witty MM rom-com that had me wanting what these two have. The concept is silly: a home renovator falls through his floor into his downstairs neighbor's apartment after his floods. Luckily for our homeboy Dylan, his neighbor is a sexy male......more

Andie Burke's first book FLY WITH ME was such a fun and witty read, so I was so excited to read FALL FOR HIM! FALL even has some ties to FLY, as one of the main characters, Derek, is the best friend of the book's star Olive. FALL FOR HIM starts off with a literal bang, when IT guru and construction......more

4.3⭐ “Dylan Gallagher, every single time I look at you all I feel is stupid, lovesick, radiant joy.” "Kay." 🥹💛 Ok, let's start by saying this book was not how I expected it to be but it was what I wanted it to be. The writing was not always convincing to me, but it is probably me being Italian an......more


Quotes

"With strong friendships, a full cast of delightful characters, and a story told from alternating points of view, this enemies-to-lovers and forced-proximity romance from Burke (Fly with Me) explores serious issues such as neurodivergence, alcohol-use disorder, toxic family expectations, forgiveness, and grief, while still being a steamy, humorous, and hopeful read." --Library Journal (starred review)

"FALL FOR HIM is the kind of rom com that checks all of the boxes. Two characters with real, relatable issues? Check! So much tension and banter? Check! The perfect combination of laughs and spice?

Fall For Him is a tender, sexy story with all of the angst of grumpy-neighbors-to-unwitting-roommates-to genuine-friendship-to-lovers.
