Falling #3
Falling into Surrender
When I moved to New York, I didn’t expect to fall in love.
But the city that never sleeps has captured my heart, right along with Gabriel Maddox. Unfortunately, love can’t change my circumstances, and some things will always be out of my grasp. As the clock ticks down on my time with Gabriel, I will have to make a decision. A decision to stay and put his life in danger, or to leave the man that I love behind.
But just when I think the choice is actually mine to make, fate steps in and shows me it has other plans. You can’t outrun the past forever, and mine has just caught up with me in the worst way. Not only could I lose Gabriel, but I could lose him for good.
Please note: This book contains explicit sexual content, language, and elements of BDSM and dark erotica.

When Victoria Colletti moved to NY, she didn’t expect to fall in love.
Gabriel Maddox isn’t looking for anyone but finds Victoria to his taste.
Sex is a top priority for the 2.
What is Vitoria’s past?
What is in Gabriel’s secret past?
Could the 2 actually fall in love?

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written steamy hot BDSM erotic book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make great BDSM sex movie, or paid-per-view mini TV series. Short & sweet. Not my cup of tea but I will still rate it at 5 stars.

It was an amazing book for the last in the series.
I couldn't put it down, it kept me intrigued and had lots unexpected events happening. I got upset thinking they might not last but really happy with what happen in the end

Epic conclusion to an awesome series! What can I say- I fell in love with these characters and am disappointed to see it end. This one has a few twists and you will have to read it to see how Victoria and Gabriel's story plays out. That being said I found this whole series intriguing and loved it from the beginning to end. It was nice to see Gabriel and Victoria grow through out and I found myself rooting for them. And just when you think things might be ok A throws a curveball in and leaves you wondering where the story will go from there. If you like a great read filled with steamy scenes and lots of twists and turns this series will definitely be for you.

Well, unfortunately I'm done "Falling", so can I have more...we can call it "Fell"... That's what has happened, I fell. I felt so many things during this last installment of the series. Fear. Frustration. Relief. Love. This was a great ending,but I really don't want it to be over. I'm a true believer in Alphas finding their mates and all becoming right in their world. I really like the changes and growth we see in the two leads of this series. I fell in love with their story.

Ending
God Lord! Great series. I was hoping there would be more than this, but sad to say that's all she wrote. Very emotional stories. Hung to every work that was written.

Please note: This book contains explicit sexual content, language, and elements of BDSM and dark erotica.
This is the third and conclusion story of Victoria Colletti and Gabriel Maddox which apparently picks up the end of book 2.
Victoria's still hellbent to walk away in her relationship with the charismatic billionaire Gabriel Maddox, but Gabriel is also determined to not let Victoria to get away with him- ever!
But what will happen if the danger of your past collides with the present? are you still willing to fight the future?
Since the book 1 i absolutely hooked by this serials especially with the MC's Victoria and Gabriel which harboring a same dark past. I loved Victoria's character she is so caring, sweet and a loving bestfriend as for Gabriel his character started with being an arrogant ass but as the story goes on i've witness the changes from being rude/ arrogant ass to being loyal and protective.
Well i love the plot of this story, from the dysfunctional family of Gabriel to the Psychotic/Obsessive Step-mother of Victoria(i will not say more on this lol).
A Zavarelli delivers an amazing tell-tale, great story line and awesome building of characters plus scorching sex scenes with a bit of kinks. This serials will entice those readers who have penchant for stalking and mindfuck elements!

Note: These are my personal opinions.
I rarely do this, but to quote the book;
"Completely and utterly ruthless in his perfection."
That there is the reason why I love this book and series...because of Gabriel.
The likes and dislikes (apart from it being fiction and I can't have my own Gabriel):
~Really hot in the sex room...craved more of those.
~I had a little issue with the formatting and editing, but they were minor and barely bothered.
~The myth/legend thing playing out more in this book was outstandingly cool.
~SPOILER! I thought it a little stupid the 'not taking the bail'.
~SPOILER! I hated the assumed betrayal, regarding Gabriel. Like hear a guy out, damn it!
~Wanted more of Gabriel's perspective again.
~The pace is good, maybe just a little too rushed at some parts.
~The Maddox family dirty secret reveal...how does it fit in? I suppose I'm just a little confused, but I felt like the mention that they were a happy family (Book Two - I think?) before the money, made it seem they didn't have that specific issue and Gabriel was born before they were utterly rich...
~The reader in me wanted just a titbit more of the 'what happened next'.
Notes on characters:
Victoria - I didn't like her character very much in this book.
Gabriel - Read the first sentence...mhmm.
Arthur - Made me think of the Monopoly man, so loved his quirkiness.
All and all, BEST SERIES I'VE READ THIS YEAR (so far...), still a new all-time favourite!

Wasn't a bad series at all but with this installment it felt like something was missing from the story. Maybe it was because we don't get a pov from Gabriel like we did with the others. Once we learn some things out able Gabriel it would have been nice to know a little bit more about that. And also able to see father/son interactions. With the stuff that went out with Alanna she should have her own novella or at least received a pov. And how come we never meet Nathan? I'm not saying that he should have been in the whole book but at least some type of interaction. Wasn't a fan of how the story ended out. But that's a personal thing. If it ends with an engagement I want like epilogue or another chapter letting us get a sneak peak into their lives. I know I'm a greedy reader :)

Falling into Surrender is the third and last book of the Falling series and it was absolutely fantastic. This book is pack with action, suspense, anxiety, tears, passion, love and most definitely hot, sexy, steamy parts that will make you panting for more. I love Gabriel and Victoria. They both deserve happily ever after.

Awesome series, really enjoyed it! I love this author and she'll be on my list to read from now on! My only wish for this last book would have been an epilogue. I love seeing a glimpse into the future, especially when you love the couple and story so much.

Very good series. Fast paced story with lots of passion.

I really enjoyed this whole series, I think both Gabriel and Victoria are very likable characters, and I also love the BDSM elements here.

This was a fun series and the sex was super hot, but the plot was just a bit over the top, while I'm not a fan of suspense, this book did keep me reading till the end

LOVED IT!!!

AWESOME series. I was very pleased with the ending.

Still have a hard time believing that this is the same author who wrote the Boston Underworld series. Wouldn't recommend.
June 2, 2019
This by far the best of the trilogy. The way all the loose ends came together with a few new suprises gave a good emotional balance to two soulmates who won't end up like Orion and Artemis!
May 23, 2020
Unnecessarily dragged into 3 books. This story could have been finished in 1 book
November 27, 2022
Overall cute series but super predictable and unfortunately not much character development for a trilogy although Victoria and Gabriel were fun MCs to read about. A smut tactic series.
June 4, 2015
Absolutely amazing! Falling into Surrender is full of action, violence, and heart wrenching drama. I was falling to pieces by the middle of the book, and crying again in the end. After opening up to Gabriel about her past, Victoria finally feels like she can breathe. Now that she has him by her side, she dreams about a life without running. She wants to believe she can have a life with Gabriel, but she swiftly discovers how wrong she is and in the cruelest way possible. After enduring intense psychological torment, Victoria is faced with a decision that no one should ever have to make. There is plenty of hot sex in this book, but the plot is focused on the emotional growth and healing of the main characters. If anyone ever deserved a HEA, it was Victoria and Gabriel.

Another one for the pot today from the team reading challenge. There are no words for how much I disliked this one.
March 28, 2017
This series kept getting better! Book one confused me. Book two enticed me. Book three engaged me.
I did not care for Gabriel all that much in book one because he was all over the place. But once he figured out what she could mean to him, his character developed better and he was very likable.
Victoria was clearly afraid but the complete lack k of details made book one frustrating and confusing. As details Cane to light it was easier to engage in the story. Driven by fear but strong as hell, Victoria found in Gabriel a future in which she could be happy and safe.
Book three was great. It all came to a head and "shit got real"! Victoria ran and fought her way through life, and found that inner strength to fight to the end. While Gabriel hot a little lost in his head, Victoria let her insecurities rule but with the advice of her best friend, turned him on his head.
Loved the ending and the culmination of the whole series.
