I have never wanted or needed a book like I do this series. This is by far, my favorite of the year. If you love deeply emotional and beautiful romances, this is for you!
Rating: ★★★★★
​Release Date: June 21, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance. 
Series: The Blue Line Duet #1

Pages: 304 pages
Format: eBook. ARC. 
​Tucked away at the base of the Rocky Mountains lived a little boy with one singular dream: leave this broken and battered home and become someone.
 
Be somebody’s hero.
 
That boy was me—Colby Brooks. Except I’m not that same little boy anymore.
 
My dreams might still be the same, but my reality isn’t.
 
I’m smarter. Stronger. A man.
 
And I learned a long damn time ago, the only way to achieve my dreams was to avoid distractions—at any cost.
Picture
Focus. Resolve. Determination.
 
But all it took was one single night. One night and my entire life…changed. One night had me colliding head first with the biggest distraction of my life; Rory Oaks.
 
Smart. Charming. Beautiful. Rory changed everything. Quickly, my one-track mind started to bend. Each kiss faded decade-long dreams. And with one single incident, I fly off course.

Genre: Contemporary Romance. 
Actual Rating: 6+ stars

Highly Recommended 

Meghan Quinn has proven herself to be one of the finest authors around. She can write the best romantic comedies that make readers roll around on the floor laughing and she can write emotional books that tear readers hearts apart and slowly build them up again. The Upside of Falling; the first book in the Blue Line Duet, falls more into the emotional category. And not in a way that means our beloved characters are dying off but emotional in a sense that this book evokes so many powerful sensations that readers have a hard time gripping their own feelings. Time and again, Meghan has brought me to my knees with her breathtaking words, realistic and natural characters, and a love so powerful you can actually feel it. This is an immensely beautiful novel and I think everyone who has ever dreamed of having a real life hero swoop into their lives and fall head over heels for them should read it. Many are going to complain of the dreaded cliffhanger and while I can understand your want and need for the second book immediately after this one, the wait is not long. Just prepare yourself for falling... Hard. 

I will not go into plot details of this book. Frankly, you need to read it and feel it without someones input or play by play of the story. However, I will give you a few small details pertaining to the characters so you know the kind of people you will meet when you dive in (yes, I said people. Rory and Colby have literally become lifelike to me and I now call these fictional people friends). 

Colby is in the US Airforce. He has always had a dream of becoming a fighter pilot and will let nothing stand in his way- and by nothing I mean people or any kind of distractions. He is at first very broody (understandable because his past wasn't the easiest) but slowly awakens into the kind of man any woman would dream of. >> Readers, you will get a MILITARY MAN .

Rory is a firecracker. Normally romance novels feature MEN who go after the WOMEN they want, but in this case, Rory does. She doesn't take no for an answer. She wants to get under Colby's hard demeanor and will literally stop at nothing to do so. She's my kind of girl! I think many readers are going to absolutely LOVE her. 

... That's it. That is all I am giving you. You honestly need to read this book and feel the emotions flow through you. I'm not even saying that because I love Meghan Quinn. I am saying that because this is a beautiful and heartfelt story and is perfect for any romance reader. Nuff Said.

Grab this book! It's worth every second and every breath. And please, don't worry your pretty little heads about the cliffy. I know it will all be worth it in the end. ​

THE DOWNSIDE OF LOVE – July 5th
This isn’t a story about a love triangle. There is no triangle involved.
This isn’t a story about an accidental pregnancy. Although having a baby with her . . . I would.
This isn’t a story about lies and deception, even though at times I’ve lied to myself.
No, this is my story.
A story about sacrifice.
A story about a man who fell in love with the wrong girl.
A story I wish I never had to tell.
This is a story about the true meaning of the downside of love.

About Meghan Quinn

Picture


​Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
