REVIEW
My Rating - 4 Stars!
Burning Fall, by EJ Smyth is a great novella romance that takes place in Germany.
I found myself immediately drawn in by these characters and the setting of Frankfurt.
To say that Damien and Yannik get off to a rough start is putting it lightly. Damien refuses to hire Yannik based on his looks, leaving his co-workers annoyed with him.
Once the two can get past their awkward beginning, the friendship that develops is nice, and the chemistry between the two is hot, thus leading to more.
Both men are interesting characters. Damien's first impressions of Yannik prove to be so wrong later that it's sweet. Damien is awkward with people which is his big downfall. And Yannik is just a great guy, has some great support, but needs his job to be successful. I adore his job and the way he can envision things so quickly.
Burning Fall is well written, engaging, and a lot of fun to read. I like the pace of it, the plot is good, and the romance is sweet! Be sure to check out this EJ Smyth novella.

Author Bio
Hi there! My name is EJ Smyth, I live in Frankfurt, Germany and I’m passionate about romance. Not luffy-duffy romance, but stories with other elements mixed in. Paranormal romance, romantic thrillers, gay romance, if it’s got two difficult characters finding each other, I’m on board!
I write at my living room table, usually covered with folded laundry because I couldn’t be bothered to tidy before sitting down. And my kids are teenagers, so not much help there either <eye roll>. I do love having them around and I’ve gotten used to writing with a background noise of Grand Theft Auto and teenage histrionics. Maybe that’s why I prefer writing action scenes over descriptive settings! Except for the 18+ scenes which I have to write in a separate room, because, well, embarrassing…
I’m currently working on a series of short stories Keith is Awesome about a young man exploring his sexuality. Not something I’ve ever written before but the research alone was quite a bit of fun Check out my Pinterest account to see my inspiration. I love to talk to my readers, online and offline, so please feel free to drop me a line!
