The Fall Risk
1 hour, 48 minutes
Two good neighbors make the best of a bad Valentine’s Day in a funny and improbably romantic short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer.
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much. But when disaster traps them one flight up and no way down, an outrageously precarious predicament forces a tree-loving guy and a rattled girl next door to embrace their captivity. Soon their defenses are breaking away. Considering how close they both are to the edge, Charlotte and Seth could be in danger of falling—in love.

February 1, 2025All my books are romcoms, but I do like to include more serious topics within them that some may find triggering. If you feel trigger warnings are spoilers, feel free to skip the next paragraph. Everyone else, see below.
***CONTENT WARNINGS AHEAD***
This story is about a woman who is being stalked by a mentally ill stranger. There’s mentions of suicide, talks of off page kissing cousins, and discussions about firearms for the purpose of self defense. There's on page violence with a baseball bat (you'll probably be rooting for it though).

The perfect Valentine's Day book doesn't exi-
No because I don't understand HOW a short story like this held so much meaning and depth in the span of not-so-many pages. Yes it was short but Seth and Charlotte's story felt complete and that's all that matters.

Petition for Abby to stop writing novellas and turn them into full-length books.
WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE MY TURN?????
I can’t believe a book this short made me feel so single👩🏼�
This was really cute and funny for a 82 pages novella, for some reason the only book I’ve read by AJ is this one and her other novella but I think this is my sign to read all her full length books.
It’s kinda insta love but you can’t really complain about it when you have just a few pages. I do think that Seth and Charlotte make a great couple and the way Seth cared for her??? spectacular😩🤚🏻 again, I need at least 250 pages more of them. I’m satisfied with the epilogue tho🙂↔�
Not going to lie I was kind of confused at the beginning, like what do you mean that your apartment stairs disappeared???😭😭😂 and I had trouble picturing their situation but once I reread the first page I got the hang of it easily.
I liked how she explored and added the topic of stalking and showed the impact that it has on the victim. the side characters made me laugh so much, it was really hilarious imo. and the fact that this had the trope of found family made it just better!!!
Also Izzy and Gabe were so damn cute🥹🥹
� HELLO!!! I need their book too
💌
ᯓᡣ𐭩 I always thought of the famous quote: “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.� I didn’t want her to suffer anymore. She didn’t deserve what had happened to her, and the insult to the injury was the way she was forced to live because of it.
ᯓᡣ𐭩“But why me? I’m not that interesting.�
She was, though.
She really, really was.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 It was Sunday. Valentine’s Day. I’d never cared for this holiday. It always seemed like an excuse to spend money. Today it felt like an excuse to make Charlotte smile, which meant I was now a fan.
ᯓᡣ𐭩“Sometimes the start of something good begins during something bad,� he said. “We don’t get to pick when these things happen.�
ᯓᡣ𐭩 It was like fate conspired to place the perfect woman in the apartment across from mine, and then it knocked out the stairs for good measure,
ᯓᡣ𐭩 She stood on her toes and she kissed me. My heart burst in my chest. This did it. It was officially over for me, I was done for. I think I’d been done for for a while.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 They say it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. I wasn’t sure I agreed. Something told me I’d never get over the loss of this.

Another sweet and heartwarming love story—this time in novella form—comes from one of my auto-approved romance authors, Abby Jimenez, delivering a powerful message of women’s empowerment. And of course, what’s better than one perfect book boyfriend? Two! (Even if one belongs to the heroine’s best friend.)
Set over Valentine’s Day weekend, two neighbors find themselves trapped in their apartments when a construction mishap demolishes their stairs. Neither is looking for love—Seth, a kind-hearted arborist with an eight-pack, a charming smile, and a great sense of humor, is fresh off a divorce from a cousin-loving ex (yes, you read that right). Meanwhile, Charlotte has spent two years living in fear of a relentless stalker, forcing her to work from home, change apartments five times, and hone her self-defense and marksmanship skills. She doesn’t trust any man—until she meets Seth and unexpectedly finds solace in his presence. But with danger still lurking, will she keep running, or will she finally stand her ground for a chance at happiness?
Overall, this was a lovely, fast-paced, and heartfelt read. I also adored Charlotte and Seth’s best friends, Izzy and Gabe, who were fiercely supportive throughout. I simply cannot rate an Abby Jimenez book less than five stars—so here are my five blazing stars for women’s empowerment and the perfect man who whispers to trees!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Original Stories for providing a digital reviewer copy of this amazing novella in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Charlotte has just moved into a new apartment, AGAIN, trying outrun and outwit her STALKER.
Her new neighbor, Seth, who shares the breezeway with her, is marking this Valentine’s Day weekend as his first after an unexpected divorce just three years after what he thought would be a forever marriage.
So, neither is feeling very optimistic when they find themselves stranded together for the weekend when a renovation project accidentally demolishes the staircase that leads to their front doors instead of the staircase that was scheduled for demolition.
But, their FORCED PROXIMITY may just be a blessing in disguise!
Filled with Abby Jimenez’s trademark humor and witty banter, this 82 page novella was a much better Valentine’s Day treat than a box of chocolates! 🍫
Sure, a BIT of the dialogue this time was corny, and it was rated G, but as always I enjoyed meeting her characters (and their friends!) and I hope we will see them all make a cameo appearance in a future book-as often happens in Abby’s novels! 💘
AVAILABLE NOW as a FIRST READ for FEBRUARY if you have Amazon Prime-or on March 1, 2025 if you don’t!
As always, these are my candid thoughts!

abby jimenez, you work so well for me in small doses, i'm gonna need you to keep writing novellas. pleek 🥺🙏
forced proximity and found family in just 82 pages?! the initial situation was kinda silly ngl, but it turned out well!! charlotte, such a strong girl, and seth, the sweetest tree lover, were adorable. loved them 💗
i loved izzy and gabe too, and i wouldn't mind if abby brings them again in another book (just like she did here with john and holly from 'worst wingman ever' 🫂), just saying.

“Is she cool?� Gabe asked. I tossed my boot next to the bed. “She is beyond cool. Cool doesn’t even cover it.�
“I think you are a bit of a fall risk for me.� I could practically feel the smile through the phone. “You’re a fall risk for me too.�

Ty Amazon for letting me read this early 😏
It’s an Abby Jimenez book of course it’s amazing. Like, was there ever a doubt? This was the perfect little Valentine’s Day treat: cute, quick, and ridiculously easy to devour. Charlotte and Seth’s dynamic had me grinning, and the whole “trapped together� situation? Chef’s kiss. I just wish it was longer because wow, I did NOT want this to end. I was genuinely sad when I saw the world’s “Epilogue�.
Abby, if you’re reading this (which you’re probably not, but still), I would like at least 300 more pages of these two. Thanks in advance🫶🏼

Hello there, neighbor!🙋🏻♀�
Seth and Charlotte share a landing between their second story apartments. They haven’t met yet. But that’s about to change when a construction mistake demolishes their shared staircase. Leaving the two stranded through the weekend. Well, now might be a good time to get to know each-other!
Abby Jimenez is one of the best, (if not THE best) rom-com writers out there! I love her books and this short story was no exception. Smiles from beginning to end!
Her characters feel real and the banter is always witty!
My only complaint is I wish this would have been a full-size book. But it will just have to tide me over until her newest full sized book is released this summer!

This was great. Abby Jimenez does a great job dealing with difficult topics with humor. It was fun and sweet and I truly enjoyed it! I only wish it was a little longer. Seth and Charlotte were wonderful and their best friends were a hoot!

For someone who rarely read novellas or short stories and who read and loved the two novellas written by Abby Jimenez, I think it’s a sign to finally pick up one of her many full length books I have on my shelves. It��s such a shame that the only books I read by her is this one and the other novella. Oh and this one was really cute.

�.˚ overview ˚.⋆�
this book was so simple, yet so amazing? and i finished it in an hour? i love seth and charlotte with my whole heart. the banter? top tier. the comedy? i was audibly laughing. it was kind of cringy, but in a good way, if you know what i mean.
�.˚ to put it simply, i love this book. ˚.⋆�
however, i do think i lost a braincell every time seth made a tree joke. and this is with my very few remaining braincells after reading the love haters the other day.
also, their relationship felt rushed. like, very rushed. i’m pretty sure this whole book takes place in under a week (excluding the epilogue).
» 90 day fiancé has officially lost its title to this book.
i will say that i did LOVE izzy and gabe’s relationship, though, even though we only saw about 5 seconds of it. and guess what? their relationship was also rushed!! i was so sad! i think this book needed to be longer, i mean, i’m not against it, but really!? a week? that’s crazy talk.
also, for 1 second, can we please stop talking about seth’s 8-pack? don't get me wrong, i am all for 8-packs, but this was just overdone.

also, their relationship felt rushed. like, very rushed. i’m pretty sure this whole book takes place in under a week (excluding the epilogue).
» 90 day fiancé has officially lost its title to this book.
i will say that i did LOVE izzy and gabe’s relationship, though, even though we only saw about 5 seconds of it. and guess what? their relationship was also rushed!! i was so sad! i think this book needed to be longer, i mean, i’m not against it, but really!? a week? that’s crazy talk.
also, for 1 second, can we please stop talking about seth’s 8-pack? don't get me wrong, i am all for 8-packs, but this was just overdone.

Free on Prime Reads and Valentines had me taking a chance�
I didn’t enjoy the feminist comments (just not my thing) and there was a stalker / mental health aspect that could be triggering for some. It isn’t long so it was easy to get through in one sitting but the writing just lacked for me with the repetitive statements that were formed as questions.
Storyline was interesting at first but some things felt rushed and it just didn’t hit right for me. There was a time or two when we seemed to jump details too. Then the way it ties together just kind of unbelievable and had me rolling my eyes.
Mostly though, I don’t like how the mental health aspects gets discarded and is grounds for physical retribution. She places feminism as a badge of honor and glorifies her violence without any real understanding or acknowledgement of the very real aspects of the mental health issue. This could have been done so much better.
Quick read, not time consuming but fell flat and annoying for me ultimately�
