Leo Winter loves his life. He works when he needs money. He rides when he craves freedom. He frequents the local bar when he wants a good time. The Tin Gypsies might be a memory, but the bachelor life he lived with his motorcycle club still suits him fine. So when a one-night stand surprises him at a family barbecue and claims she’s pregnant with his child, he’s certain he’s died and gone to hell.
Cassandra Cline took one night off from her structured life. One. And now her wild fling with the local bad boy has turned her life sideways. Her dreams and academic career are circling the drain, and none of it would have happened if she’d stayed far, far away from Leo.
Except avoiding him is impossible, especially when she’s forced to move home to Clifton Forge, Montana. And he refuses to leave her side when a series of strange accidents put her and their baby at risk. But are they accidents? Or is she standing in the middle of a battlefield she doesn’t understand?
Her only allies are people she barely knows. And a man who has the potential to steal her heart.
If only he’d stop playing the fool.
“What are you doing tomorrow?”
“Apartment hunting.” She yawned. “I’ve got an appointment at nine to meet a landlord.”
“How about you cancel it? Sleep in.”
“I sort of need a roof over my head.”
“Then take mine.” The words hurled past my lips.
“Huh?” She pushed herself up to a seat.
I gulped. Christ, what was I doing? “I’ve got a big house with three extra rooms. You could stay there for a while. Save some money. We could get to know each other.”
Cass blinked as her eyebrows knitted together.
“Yeah, I can’t believe I just said that either.” This woman was scrambling my brain.
“Want to take it back?”
“No,” I said without hesitation. “I mean it. If you want to save up, not live alone, you’re welcome at my place. You can check it out first if you want. Tomorrow.”
She continued to stare at me, her head tilting to the side as she tried to figure me out. When she did, I hoped she’d share the wealth.
I held my breath, not sure if I wanted her to say yes or no. Yes. No.
Yes. She was going to say no. I could feel it.
“Okay,” she whispered.
“Really?”
“Change your mind already?”
“No. Just . . . you never say what I think you’re going to say.”
She smiled. “You’ll get used to it.”

This series gets better and better. Leo and Cass are probably my favorite couple in the Tin Gypsy so far! We met Cassandra Cline in the Noble Prince, she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - yup, she was kidnapped and thrown into the world of Tin Gypsy and not even know it.
Cass is a college student, who spends most of her time in the books. And after being home one night, she decides to do something wild. Something that is so not her - hooking up one night with Leo Winter. And that one night turns both of their lives upside down. It wasn't easy for Leo and Cass to adjust to this surprising news.
Leo is having trouble and wanting to be a father after they way he was raised, and Cass has the support of her parents and friends, and doesn't need (or thinks!) she needs Leo. As the two work out their differences, they eventually learn more about each other and even though they are complete opposites their chemistry is undeniable.
Fallen Jester is a sweet, heartfelt and emotional read where two people, who are complete opposite make it work for the better. And that ending! I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
