Synopsis:
After
losing her job, her home, and her friends in her divorce, Nora Pitts
is determined not to make the same mistakes when she starts over in
the small town of Shadow Creek, Washington. No more toiling away in
the lab at the expense of her social life, and definitely no more
men. Ever. But making friends in her thirties is so much harder than
she anticipated. And when it comes to her gorgeous yet obnoxious
neighbor, it’s a whole lot easier to make enemies.
Eli
Hardin doesn’t have a lot of sympathy for his uptight neighbor,
until he overhears her so-called new friends making fun of her
un-datable status. Suddenly he finds himself volunteering for a date
with a woman who’s been leaving angry hate-notes in his mailbox,
and in way over his head. Because all it takes is one disastrous date
with Nora for Eli to fall hard.
But
falling for Eli isn’t something Nora’s ready for—not when he’s
her complete opposite, and especially not when he turns out to be the
best friend she’s made in Shadow Creek. But as her attraction and
her feelings for Eli grow hotter, resisting him might just lead to
heartbreak anyway.

Review: Make Me Fall was really such a fun read. I've not read my enemies to lovers stories, but this one might make me a fan of that trope for good.
Its about an end to a relationship and new beginnings with a lot of laughs in between.
It was really a fun and funny book!

MAKE
ME FALL Excerpt
Copyright
© 2018 Sara Rider
Eli marked
off twenty-six and three-quarter inches as precisely as he could and
lifted the blade of the circular saw.
“Oh my
God, I soooo wasn’t kidding,” one of the women next door said
loudly. “Nora really does need to get laid.”
His
shoulders tensed. This wasn’t the first time he’d overheard the
women loudly shit-talking his neighbor behind her back. He had no
idea why she hung out with them.
“Maybe
you should set her up with someone,” another woman added.
The other
two laughed. “Can you imagine Nora on a date? She’s so uptight
and frigid. Who would want to date her? No lay is worth that kind of
torture. Can’t you just picture her busting out her bottle of
sanitizer before the poor sap tries to hold her hand?”
His jaw
tensed and he felt the last of his patience snap like an icicle in
his warm hands. He sliced the saw through the wood, threw his
protective glasses onto the ground, and marched over to the
waist-high chain link fence. “I’d do it.”
All three
women turned to look at him like he was a space alien who’d just
beamed down to earth. The one who’d been talking the most leaned
forward in her seat. “What did you just say?”
“You
heard me. I’d go out with her.”
“You
can’t be serious.”
The more
this woman pushed, the more he wanted to put her in her place. No,
Nora was not the kind of woman he would normally ask out—mainly
because she was one of the few who didn’t seem to fall for his
charm. In fact, he was pretty sure she didn’t think he had any
charm whatsoever, but she was attractive and smart enough to read a
book every month. That alone made her more dateable than half the
population in this town. “Sure as hell am.”
The woman
leaned forward, smiling at him like he was freshly caught prey in her
snare. “If you’re looking for a date, I could show you a much
better time.”
He
shrugged, keeping his fake smile on his face. “No thanks.
Backstabbing and mean isn’t my type.”
He probably
enjoyed the shocked look on the woman’s face a little too much, but
it was seriously fucking rude to trash-talk the hostess while sitting
on her porch and eating her canapés.
The screen
door slid open right at that moment. Nora walked out with a plate of
decadent-looking mini-chocolate cakes that made his mouth water on
sight. Her eyes darted from her friends to him and back again. “Um,
what’s going on?”
He rested
his hands against the old chain-link fence. “What’s going on is
that your so-called friends are talking trash about your love life
behind your back and don’t seem to think you can get a date. So I
volunteered.”
“You
what?”
“Volunteered.
You and me. Tomorrow night at seven. I’ll drive.”
She slammed
the cake tray onto the coffee table and set her hands on her hips.
She looked around, like she couldn’t decide where to focus her
anger. Of course she settled on him. “Who says I’d want to go out
with you?”
He raised
his eyebrow, liking the way she got flustered around him a little too
much. “Got better plans?”
Even at the
distance between them, he could see her suck in a breath. Her mouth
hardened into a flat line, but she didn’t say no.
“Tomorrow.
Seven. Dinner. Oh, and consider making new friends who aren’t so
damn mean. These ladies don’t deserve any of those amazing-looking
cakes.” He grabbed his plank of wood and headed into the house,
wondering what the hell he’d just gotten himself into.
