Doctor Gavin Addison’s marriage didn’t end on the friendliest of terms, and his estranged wife’s continual harassment has the local police visiting his home so often they’ve started calling him “the doc.” One of those cops, Officer Lex Turner, has a crush on the handsome doc, even though he knows there’s no chance the doc would ever consider dating a man. A chance encounter on a crowded dance floor ends with both men in the same bed with the same woman—but with questionable results. When the doc wants to try that again, Lex becomes more involved than he’d dreamed possible as he helps his new friend navigate the kinkier side of sex. Knowing it’s just sex for Gavin, Lex finds it hard to keep his feelings hidden. But when Gavin finally figures out he has feelings for Lex that go beyond what a guy should feel for his buddy, will he let Lex convince him to take a chance with him—even if it turns both their lives upside down?
Falling for Him CL Mustafic Books
CL Mustafic does a tremendous job of giving us a story where a character embraces who they are, and who they're supposed to be with. Sometimes things that happen in our past get tainted and repressed to the point we forget. That's Gavin.This is a well written journey of Gavin once again discovering himself after divorcing his ex-wife who is psychotic and causes mayhem and destruction in her path for vengeance. This is how Gavin meets Officer Lex Turner. They get even more acquainted after Gavin goes home with Lex and a female companion after a night of celebrating Gavin's freedom. Things don't go so smoothly and Gavin pleads Lex for a do over. He needs everyone to know he's not so sexually inept.
From here the two build a pretty fast friendship. It starts off a bit shaky, with Lex asking Gavin what Gavin would accept from Lex sexually. Once the foundation of friendship is built it doesn't take too much for the two to admit their feelings to themselves, a bit longer to each other. While they're working on that Gavin's ex is still out there bullying and harassing Gavin. Gavin's mother finds out about the relationship and curses it as an abomination.
I love how though we have some horrible dynamics constantly being thrown into the story that CL Mustafic also write in some great comic relief and heart felt moments and not just between the MCs. There is so much to this story beside romance. This was my first book of CL's that I've read and I can honestly tell you it won't be my last.

Falling for Him CL Mustafic Books Reviews
I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads
3 Stars
C.L. Mustafic is a new-to-me author. I was completely captured by the blurb, curiosity getting the better of me, and I couldn't wait to read Falling for Him.
Gavin is struggling during a bitter divorce battle, but it's not the battle itself that's the problem. His cheating wife of 10 years is stalking him, vandalizing property, and defaming his character. The doctor is doing all he can, calling the police and noting what has occurred and when to create a timeline. But it's not enough. The police can't seem to have enough evidence to arrest the wife.
***Still confused at the start how a person couldn't be arrested for stalking/vandalism/received half the value of a home they didn't own after cheating on their spouse. There were security cameras in the hospital, but the detectives were too defective to check them to tie the ex to the slander, which is a civil case but would have influenced the divorce... just saying none of this added up. While it propelled the plot, it was unrealistic, illogical, and OTT. SMH. An educated doctor was too dim to change the locks on his own home to protect it after months of harassment? The maturity levels and behavior didn't match the age/profession/speech patterns. Gavin's actions/reactions didn't fit the character trait profile.
In walks in Lex- Officer Turner is a bisexual man, who's both intrigued by the good doctor and feeling empathetic to his plight. He's trying to pin the crimes on the guy's ex, all the while trying to get into his pants. Maybe if he tried harder at his job, above wouldn't make them all look inept.
For those who don't wish to read girly bits in their MM romance, be forewarned. There are menage scenes featuring MFM. That's my thing, but it might not be something you enjoy.
The guys were fun together, the romance light, but the frustration of the too many plots was too much for me. I was frustrated most of the time I was reading as it pinged all of my major pet peeves.
The premise of Falling for Him was great. However, the execution wasn't to my tastes. The flow of the writing was wooden, too proper and polite to flow fluidly or sound realistic. Maybe it was the perspective it was written in, or how the dialogue would either be too proper or too juvenile (Riley, A DOCTOR, spoke like a middle school boy), which had a whiplash effect on me, because in a sea of proper and polite, the locker-room-esque talk glared from the pages. This made it very difficult for me to fall into Falling for Him, because it pulled me from the story.
I will not apologize for my following commentary. As a feminist, a pet peeve of mine was on the pages- the way all women were portrayed. A mentally unstable, clingy mother. Homophobic mother. Even the best friend's wife was overbearing. A crazy, cheating, abusive, criminal ex-wife who gets away with it. A threesome partner, who after-the-fact acted like a total nutjob (he had to buy her flowers and apologize? WHAT?) when during the scene itself, no one seemed to be uncomfortable, not into it, or acting insulted. This also was jarring for me to read. As a female, I don't wish to be insulted on most pages of a novel. Yes, there are women who behave like that- BUT it shouldn't be every negative stereotype displayed by ALL the women in the novel, to hit home how were are inferior as a gender and explain away why two bi characters fall for each other. Gavin & Lex can lust/love each other because they do, as it has no bearing with who they do/don't lust/love, so I don't see why it always has to be at the expense and disrespect to females. Women are so crazy and clingy, I'm going to date men- no, you date men because you date men.
Thankfully, this storyline just dissolved into the background, so it was no longer a focal point to rub me raw, leaving room for the guys to come together.
Moving forward into their relationship, another pet peeve of mine hit MISCOMMUNICATION. A cop & a doctor, both professionals who rely on communication to do their jobs, both older, one married for 10+ years, I find it incomprehensible why they didn't just communicate. This was not a suitable plot device for these characters.
There was just too much going on, and it was at the expense of the entertainment factor for me- seemed unfocused and chaotic. To be honest, I was rubbed wrong and frustrated for the entirely of the read. I was obviously not the intended audience. MM romance readers, who don't mind lady bits in their MM, will probably enjoy the story, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
As an erotica piece, this was hot--like don't leave your bedroom for hours hot--but as a contemporary romance it was lacking. The erotica was MFM, with one of the men being out and bi and the other questioning. There were girl bits and boy bits--it was fantastic. There was also some pretty good chemistry between our protagonist and the love interest.
Where the book lost me was at about 88%. There was an odd-placed twist after the resolution which protracted the ending. Not only that, but there was some disturbing domestic violence and then the entire incident was glossed over. Ew. Read it for the sexy times. Stop at 85%.
4.5 stars
This book was provided by the author via IndiGo Marketing & Design in exchange for an honest review.
Whew! I'm done reading and I love it. This author made a good first impression for me. The story had a nice flow to it. I appreciated that the author didn't shy away from the fact that the characters are bisexual. The miscommunication was unreal but glad they acknowledge that they really need to work on it. The level of craziness that Gavin's ex displayed was mind blown and for petty reason.
Overall, it is a good first full length novel. I hope the author produce more work in the the future. I would love to read more.
This story focuses on two main characters, Gavin, a doctor going through a divorce with a cheating and mentally deranged wife, and Lex, one of the cops who keeps getting called to deal with the situation. This isn't a quickie, it's a slow developing love that I believe to be more realistic than the whole Disney, I just met you, let's be together forever. There are some sad parts, a lot of funny parts, and of course the hot and steamy ones. My favorite though is watching the development of the main characters. Lex has a sweet heart that cares for others under his cop exterior, and through the book you learn why he is the way he is, you also see him fall for the guy he knows he can't have. Gavin is a shy introverted guy who still loves his ex-wife, even after the horrible things she puts him through. They both grow, and become stronger through their struggles. I also love many of the side characters. Lex's mom is adorable, and Gavin's friends are hilarious, but have their hearts firmly set on protecting Gavin. I have read many of this author's stories, and this is just one piece of an interlocking universe of people and their lives. I hope to see them all published one day.
CL Mustafic does a tremendous job of giving us a story where a character embraces who they are, and who they're supposed to be with. Sometimes things that happen in our past get tainted and repressed to the point we forget. That's Gavin.
