Book description
October 12, 2023
Dear Reader,
I just finished Fall Apart on audiobook, and I'm still buzzing. Dakota Forest didn't just write a second book in the On the Slopes series-she crafted a slow-burn, soul-deep romance that feels like the kind of story you whisper about after your own late-night bar crawl.
Let me tell you: Lizzy Frank is exactly where I'd be after a cheating ex. She's got that sharp, guarded energy, all "fun distraction only" vibes, nursing a drink at a dive bar like it's her last stand. Then Clay Chapman slides into the seat beside her. Tall. Tattooed. A construction worker who thinks about where his coffee cup belongs on the bar. Opposites? Absolutely. But the pull between them? Electric. You hear it in the audiobook-the way the narrator's voice dips low when Clay says, "I'm not looking for complications," but his eyes say you're the complication I want.
Forest's genius is in the details. Lizzy's past isn't just a backstory; it's the reason she flinches when a guy's phone buzzes. Clay's need for order? It's not just a quirk-it's how he shields himself after his own heartbreak. And the audiobook? Oh, it's perfect. The narrator (seriously, whoever's doing the voice work-low, steady, with just the right hint of gravel) makes Clay's quiet intensity feel real. You hear the scrape of his chair, the clink of glasses, the way Lizzy's laugh falters when she's trying not to trust him.
I won't lie-I was there with them. When Lizzy finally admits she's scared to let someone in, and Clay says, "I'm not asking you to trust me. Just... stay," I had to pause the audiobook. It wasn't just a line; it was the moment the whole book clicked. They're not just avoiding falling apart-they're learning to build something sturdy out of the pieces.
And the title? Fall Apart? It's not just about the relationship. It's about the messy, beautiful work of letting yourself be seen. Forest doesn't rush it. She lets the tension simmer, lets you feel every hesitation, every tiny step toward trust. By the end, I was grinning like an idiot, thinking, Yeah. This is how it's supposed to feel.
If you've ever been afraid to try again, or if you just love a romance where the real love story is the slow, careful unmaking of walls... this audiobook is your next listen. It's not just good-it's the kind of story that sticks with you, like the aftertaste of a really good whiskey. I'm already counting down to Book Three.
