The new year is shaping up to be just like the old one: boring, routine, and most of all, lonely. Which is a gut-punch considering all my besties are getting rings on their fingers and buns in their ovens.
When I meet Ben on New Year’s Day I know it’s not a coincidence; the Universe is testing me. He’s my ideal man — single, handsome as hell, and he’s looking at me like I’m the girl of his dreams.
One problem: He wants no-strings … and I’m looking for a happily-ever-after.
When fate forces Ben and me together, I know I’m in trouble.
Why does a man so wrong for me feel so right?

What a great story in this standalone series, it’s fast paced and gives us detailed characters without having the reader loose interest. I have always wanted to go out there and do something adventurous that takes you out of your comfort zone and reading this book has me even more psyched about taking a chance and just going for it. The blend of comedy and romance mixed was a nice touch and that ending - OMG! Happy tears, make sure you have a tissue within reach.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

Jules & Ben's story took off like a rocket but where it landed was amazing. Jules, is looking to jump out of her comfort zone for the New Year when she meets Ben, her skydiving instructor. Swooper, the match making dog, literally leaps in & starts them on a path to their HEA. I'm glad I got to meet Jules & Ben - to be along for the ride as they Free Fall for each other.
A Resolution Pact Short Story - These are a collaboration of authors bringing us short, sweet, sexy stories to give us Oooh's and Ahh's that make our hearts & panties melt in celebration of the New Year. I'm in love with these short story collaborations & am excited each time a new set is released.
A very short but romantic fast paced story. Well written with nice storyline and plot. Likeable characters with great chemistry and connection. I like the pace in this story. It is fast but also not. Jules wants to have a life and come out of her shell. She goes to a skydiving appointment with friends. Here she meet Ben. They have instant connection and attraction. But Jules has her doubts if he likes her or she is just a one time thing. She listens too much to her friends. Can she give him a chance? Absolutely a one setting read that is captivating and enjoyable. I liked that it has an epilogue.
This was a totally enjoyable short story. Jules has everything she wants except the perfect for her life partner. Ben is a major player who owns a skydiving company. Jules makes a New Year resolution to change her life, face her fears and find her man. She agrees to go skydiving with her friends but is injured before they get on the plane. Ben sits out the jump with her and they hook up. They cannot get each other out of their mind and eventually get together. One year later Ben proposes in a totally unique way and they have their HEA.
I absolutely loved this! I love that it's part of a whole group of friends that we have met before from Mi Alpha Alpha to Amelia and Damon from Naught Sleigh Ride. When I read Stacy in one of the other stories, I knew it had to be the same one from The Halloween Honeys. Now, Jules and Ben were adorable. This was different in that they kept going back and forth but couldn't get each other out of their heads. The epilogue was amazing and made me smile the whole time.

Jules decides on New Year’s Eve she is going to go after what she wants. No more taking precautions & planning things out. The next day when she and her friends decide to go sky diving, she decides to test her New Year’s resolution by kissing the owner, Ben. She thinks taking this risk was worth it when she feels the sparks between them, until she finds out he’s a major player. Believing she’s just another notch on his bedpost, how will Ben prove to her she’s different?
Overall this was a good read & looking forward to reading more from this author!
A unique perspective on finding love in unusual circumstances. Jules and Ben certainly hit it off at first. Then encounter a lot of missteps based on their past experiences and lack of courage. Yet they know deep down that the way they feel is something special. Once they take a shaky step, the sky’s the limit!

This is part of the Resolution Pact short story a selection of stories from various authors about making New Year resolutions to change your life
This is Jules and Ben's story she has decided to put more spice in her life and he is her skydiving instructor The attraction is mutual but will his womanising reputation drive her away It will take a nervous dog called swoope to cat as matchmaker and teach them both to let go of the past
It’s a new year and Jules has decided that this will be the year that she takes chances and finds love with the first step to try skydiving. Ben is the owner/instructor of a skydiving company who has a reputation with the ladies. From the moment they meet their connection is electric but is he willing to take a risk on love?
The chemistry between Ben and Jules was hot however Swooper is the scene stealer.
Generally this story was a really good story. Characters are good, Jules is sweet compared to Bens wolfish persona, the surrounding friends are cool and Swooper the dog is an added bonus and everything within " " is brilliant. HOWEVER the writing style gave me a headache. What should have been a lunch-time delight turned into a struggle because of the over descriptive writing style. Every arm movement, every function and step of the people detailed. It ruined it for me.
This is the 2nd book I've read written by Fiona Starr; she has done an excellent job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

What a way to end the Blaze Mountain stories! I hope it's not the last!!!! Love, love, love it! Each and every story is unique and Jules and Ben's is just the icing on the cake. Not only does it deal with facing your fears, it also asks you to trust that love will make everything fall into place. Oh and dogs have an absolute sixth sense when it comes to choosing the person you should be with for the rest of your life!
Juls wanted a change new year right time to do it correct. So why not try skydiving, well right before her and her friends were about to get on the plane Juls passed out. Waking up in a strange place with a hot instructor next to her to make sure she’s ok. Ben doesn’t do relationships after being burned, cheated and lied to in the pass. But with Juls something was different, can these too take their love or lust to something new or is it just all up in the clouds.
Jules decides to accept the challenge to change her lonely life. The gang decides to go skydiving on New Year’s Day and reluctantly Jules goes along the preverbal fifth wheel. Not only is she hesitant she gets bowled over by Ben’s big dog and faints into his arms. An afternoon of pleasure changes things for them booth but his past still wreaks havoc. Lots of angst and misunderstandings. Quick read was just what I needed.
My honest review: It’s been a while since I’ve actually been annoyed with a book/events: 🙄Well, that’s alarmingly stupid to go jumping(skydiving) immediately after getting a goose-egg on the back of your noggin… or even better decision to f*ck a stranger after passing out from said goose-egg even after you were just 10seconds ago disgusted with something he said…. 😡he’s fully aware she’s injured and still allows the events to unfold on the “Lovesac” EWE ⭐️at least the ending was sweet
I loved the proposal! It’s unique. Free fall, really!
Ben wasn’t likeable at first because of his past but meeting Jules change him, made him a better man. Guess love changes you for the better and they both deserve a second chance.

I really enjoyed Jules and Ben's story! I love how they meet and the development of their relationship. It's a fairly quick read with some steam, drama, fun and twists. The chemistry between them is explosive!! I love that Swooper realizes how great she is before Ben does. She sees the person he is and they both fall fast and hard. I love the epilogue!!!
Jules and Ben's story was fantastic. One of my favorite. Well written and balanced with great characters. It was sweet and steamy and entertaining. What a great addition to the Resolution based series of short story reads from some fabulous authors - I can't wait to read the rest.

I love how trying new things can change someone, but at the same time meeting someone that is not your normal type turns out to be the right one for you. I am glad they found each other, let each other in and found true love. I also loved that the dog knew before anyone else.

I like the series of these authors, so I decided to read this book. Not a bit sorry. The book is incredibly cute with charming characters. I liked the desire of the heroine to become bolder and jump with a parachute, although I would never have gone to this ;) Thanks for lifting my mood!

“I don’t expect you to be someone you’re not, but I think I see a different Ben in there than everyone else knows, and I’d like a chance to know him.” “Jules, if I had a million chances to show you the real me, I would take every single one until I got it right.”
A great read. I’m loving this series and the idea of stepping out of your comfort zone as a New Years resolution. Ben and Jules were great together and I loved how they had an instant attraction but both fought against it. Love that they gave that beanbag chair another work out. 😉😂 Fantastic ending, very touching and beautiful.
I hated the beginning of the book Im or going to lie it didnt paint a good picture of him but he did redeem himself and I loved his dog and his proposal.
