Publisher's summary

Is it really cheating if he was yours first?

Romeo and I were friends long before we were lovers. Best friends. Ride or die. What started as an innocent kiss slowly unraveled and shattered, giving way to years of tears and total obsession.

Now I’m back in the small town I call home, staring straight into the face of the only man I’ve ever loved…or hated. To make matters worse, his wife stands at his side, smiling sweetly as my heart breaks all over again.

When life throws us back together, cracks quickly start to appear in the perfect façade of their marriage, and I’m left fighting the unstoppable force that is my attraction to Romeo.

My enemy.

My lover.

My life.

Some say fate is written in the stars and once something is done, it can’t be undone.

But what if that isn’t true?

If you could rewrite the stars and unbreak your heart, would you?


Romeo Falling is an angsty, obsessive, possessive MM romance that contains cheating (not between MC's). It is not a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Incredible book brought to life!

Romeo Falling is one of my favorite books of all time. It is such a beautiful and heartwarming love story. Jude and Romeo have imbedded themselves into my heart. I read the book twice because I just couldn’t leave them. I’m pretty hard to please when it comes to audiobooks in general but even more so with stories that mean so much to me. The narration of this book is absolutely perfect. Zachary Zaba has a voice that IS Jude and Romeo. I really really love his Romeo voice. His performance is stellar. It’s so good that I’m going to start listening to it all over again tomorrow. This is absolutely positively a 5 star read. It gets ALL the stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved it!

I think this is the best thing Jesse has written. It included tropes I don’t normally love or even like, top most being miscommunication, but also cheating, second chance romance, and friends to lovers. But the way Jesse wrote this rang so true to me that I couldn’t help but love it, even when it hurt. This story, the characters, the emotions… all of it was so well written and memorable.

This is the first audio that I listened to by Zachary Zaba and he was fantastic! I can definitely tell why he keeps popping up so much. I can’t wait to listen to more from him. Maybe the teased at hockey romance that’s coming up?

Falling in love all over again!

I read this book as soon as it came out and ADORED it - and that's saying something coming from someone who doesn't usually vibe with the friends to lovers trope! Jesse's writing shines beautifully in this story, and you can't help but fall for Romeo and Jude and root for their HEA. As I was reading, I actually imagined Zachary Zaba's voice as the narrator, so finding out that he had been cast was a fantastic surprise! His narration is excellent as always, and I'm thrilled to be able to reread this one on audio over and over!

Lost and found

Wow. This was an absolutely beautiful story. I love Jesse’s work and this was such an amazing read. The story was one of two souls who matched perfectly but through mistakes and miscommunication that they are both to fault for they lost each other. Jude for not being honest and reaching out and Romeo for not asking for what he truly wanted and needed.
I am not rating the audiobook as high as the story as I struggled the first half of the book to get through it, but the story was definitely there. The second half of the audiobook was definitely more engaging. I do not believe this is either the author or the narrators issue. I am just not an overall fan of single POV.
I did absolutely love the story and do recommend reading it.

Best Friends in Love

I love this book because the connection these two have is beautiful. Even though they both Jude in particular makes a lot of decisions based on assumptions it’s believable because Jude appointed himself as Jude’s champion from the beginning and loses sight of want Romeo Amy want or need in focusing on making sure he protects Romeo from certain truths. This book is one you need to read again and again. Zachary Zaba does great as the narrator.

Heartbreaking

This story is so heartbreaking! Jude and Romeos miscommunication changed the trajectory of their lives and was resolved so fast! It all could’ve ended so fast if they had communicated their feelings. Overall I did enjoy their story, unfortunately I couldn’t connect with the audio at times but overall I had an enjoyable time.
