"Gold Star Award!...Rated 'O' for 'Orgasmic'!...I loved this book. If it isn’t the first of a long series, I will be heartbroken. I had to read it again as soon as I’d finished, because it was just that good. I fell in love with Christian and Alec, as well as several secondary characters. Such supporting characters as Alec’s mentor, Chris’ housemates and top agents are well-developed and endearing. They help move the plot along at a fast but steady clip, without even the suggestion of a lag. Christian and Alec’s characters are so well developed I felt I knew them personally. They are both handsome, sexy, sensual men who are noble, strong, dependable heroes who came alive for me. Their relationship is enviable and that without even taking into consideration their sensuously described, luscious sexual encounters that left me panting and squeezing my thighs together. There are some rocky spots, too. Alec has grown up believing in only what he can see, touch and prove. Chris hasn’t come out yet and fears the reactions of his mother and friends. I was delightfully entertained, stimulated intellectually and sexually. I began thinking as though there really are mages who live among us. I found it was enlightening and titillating to see inside a man’s feelings and responses to sexual stimulation with a loving partner. That part was scorching hot, but I would have been intrigued by this story even without the very enjoyable and explosive sex, which is what I love in any good book. Although the male love story theme may be considered controversial subject matter for some and I usually avoid them, I found that it did not detract from this novel. In fact, the outstanding male on male sex was so carnally passionate, so tenderly loving, that I felt touched right down to the depths of my soul. There were no editing mistakes that disrupted the flow of my reading. The author’s voice is superb. The plot is leagues above and beyond the average book; Falling is one of the best I’ve read. There are several plot twists in Falling that left me on the edge of my seat. Because the plot was so efficiently developed, I never found myself confused or annoyed, and the magic and action filled scenes left my heart palpitating in excitement. For all these reasons, I believe this book is deserving of the Gold Star Award."—Karen Haas, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"4 Angels!...Sizzling heat... M. L. Rhodes takes a well-crafted plot, adds some interesting and tight secondary characters, and creates a story with intrigue and excitement that breathes life into the pages."—Linda, Fallen Angels Reviews

"4 Cups!...A very well-told story of love and magic that had me hooked from the get go. Alec and Christian make a great couple, each complimenting the other, and surprises that will delight the reader are around every corner...Definitely a keeper!"--Matilda, Coffee Time Romance

"5 Stars!...A must-read M/M romance writer! The backdrop of Falling is an adventure/fantasy involving mages, not the type of setting I would have envisioned for emotional story-telling, which is Rhodes's strength. I am proved wrong as the plot of magic and villians is very much secondary to the emotional build-up and interplay between her two characters. The love is so real, the emotions intense and the characters amazingly well developed and believable. Rhodes's men are such sensitive and vulnerable characters and Christian and Alec are no exception. Each man has his own ghosts to overcome, but when they do acknowledge the attraction, their romance is sizzling and their sex intimately hot. Just look at the cover! I love Rhodes's writings. I also strongly recommend the lovely The Professor's Secret Passion and the deeply emotional Souls Deep, her two other M/M romances under Amber Quill Press."--R. Parklane, Amazon.com

"With a story line reminiscent of a certain wizard series mixed in with that fantasy trilogy about a ring that rules them all, Falling is an addictive, thrilling adventure, chock full of evil villains and handsome heroes. Christian and Alec are a great couple and a fabulous duo. Truly noble, both are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the other and the world from a terrible tyrant. Be prepared to stay up all night because you won't be able to tear yourself away until the very end!"--Isabelle Spencer, Romance Reviews Today

"5 Roses!...While I’m not unfamiliar with gay stories, most of the ones I’ve read have had a more dominant/submissive type flavor. How refreshing to read one in which both men are equals and aren’t interested in games or in being in control! Both of these men are strong and sexy. The sex scenes are fun and loving and, in one particular scene, quite imaginative. Whether M.L. Rhodes writes male/female or male/male stories, she does so with an intimacy and sensuality that leaves you breathless!"—Jackie, A Romance Review

"5 Kisses!...A non-stop read, the kind of fast-paced story with a meaty paranormal plot and occult background into which the reader will be immediately entranced. From the first sentences, there's no turning back as author M. L. Rhodes cranks up the plot and turns up the heat. The characters are well defined...the plot is a roller coaster of events and convolutions....A wonderful story that works both on the levels of paranormal/occult fantasy and as a heart-warming and touching m/m romance. This is a re-reader definitely."--Frost, TwoLips Reviews

"4 out of 5!...This is another one of M. L. Rhodes' wonderful erotic gay stories that always leaves me wanting more. I just love the gift she has of story telling...the world she builds around her stories just comes alive. M. L. Rhodes is one of the authors that I will always review and read."--Nicole, My Book Cravings.com
