Scott Alan understands the dangers of being a logger. News that his brother Brian is in the hospital has Scott Alan rushing to be by his side. Receiving a favorable prognosis of Brian’s condition alleviates the stress caused by the accident. The situation is Scott’s worse nightmare come to reality. Soon after his arrival, he meets logger Hank Ballam and Scott’s life will never be the same.
Hank has no desire to work indoors. He prefers the open spaces and beautiful serenity logging offers. The only thing that could improve his situation is to have acceptance among his peers. Unfortunately, he doesn’t see that coming to fruitation. Scott takes away Hank’s loneliness and provides the gentle push Hank needs to start fulfilling his dreams. A budding friendship soon morphs into more.
Scott has finally found the one person who completes his life. Does Hank have the same notion or is this just a fling?
Falling takes us to a logging town named Duncan, where two unlikely characters fall in love. Hank doesn’t believe in losing. He will fight to become the best at what he does, which causes jealousy to surround him. Scott has the ability to make friends wherever he goes. His easygoing way and quick humor are a balm to those surrounding him. However, people should never look at his size and think he’s a pushover. If he’s nothing else, Scott is scrappy.
D.W. Marchwell takes the slow road to building the relationship between Scott and Hank, but that’s not to say the book flows slowly. The story moves at a moderate pace to keep the reader’s interest. Each new scene between Scott and Hank feels like a natural progression verses feeling forced. When they finally decide for more, they reminded me of two energizer bunnies. Scott and Hank drew on my emotions and had me hoping they could make a go at a relationship.
I’ve never read a story about loggers and thanks to D.W. Marchwell, Falling is believable with the descriptive scenes surrounding Hank’s job. I could imagine the views, smell the crisp clean air and understood Hank’s compulsion for the great outdoors. D.W. Marchwell delivers fascinating stories that leaves you anxious for more.
