The Falling of Grace
Book two in the Falling series.
How much heartbreak can you endure before you fall apart?
Five years ago, Grace Hathaway’s high school sweetheart disappeared, lost to a savage addiction. Abandoning love forever, Grace focuses on her successful career as a model and artist in Paris. When Ian Taylor returns to her life, what she thought was a lost romance rekindles, and Grace believes she is on the road to her happily ever after.
But devastating news threatens to shatter Grace and possibly destroy any chance of an unending love story. As her world disintegrates around her, Grace’s life spirals out of control, leading her into dark corners which change the course of her life forever. Diving into her art, new hope finds her from an unexpected place. Can she ever learn to trust again? Or will she continue her fall from grace?
The Falling of Grace is the second novel in the Falling Series. The first novel, The Falling of Love, is also available exclusively on Amazon. The third and final novel in the trilogy, The Falling of Hope, will be available late 2015.
***Recommended for ages 18+ due to sexual content and strong language.***
Reviews:
"I was honored to be a beta reader on this sequel to The Falling of Love, and I am honestly blown away by it. Marisa's writing style has really grown and she has found her voice, loud and strong.
This is not a stand alone, so be sure and read The Falling of Love first. Then grab a box of tissue, and a bottle of Dramamine, because you will be on an emotional rollercoaster ride from the first page to the last.
The Falling of Love ends with Ian showing up at Grace's table at a cafe in Paris, 5 years after she has last had any contact with him. Obviously we have already boarded the rollercoaster as we start this journey. Ms. Oldham does an incredible yet realistic job of portraying all the emotions that hit Grace after all this time. As the book synopsis alludes to, she finds a way to let him back in, but the fates don't plan for happily ever after to last long for this couple, no matter how intense the chemistry is between the two.
This begins a downward spiral for Grace which not even her best friend, Jaden, or her sister, Michelle, can save her from herself. The depths of depravity she finds will shock and sicken you, but again, it all is almost too realistic. Marisa has given all of her characters such depth and personality they truly feel like people you have known for years, shared the joys and sorrows with, rather than just words on paper (or your screen in this digital age.)
And just what is Ian's side of the story? Have he and Grace grown up enough to improve their communication skills? How does Grace's behavior affect him?
But it is not all doom and gloom. Rollercoasters have highs and lows and there are many heartouching good times as well. Again, so realistic, and as in life, sometimes it storms and sometimes the sun shines brightly.
Once again, Marisa leaves us with a major cliffhanger - I am already antsy for the publication of book 3! I am so wrapped up in all of these fantastically flawed characters she has created and shared with us.
For adults only for explicit sexual situations, violence, drug usage.
Very highly recommended. I will be first in line for anything she writes, she has that kind of rare ability to suck me. In whatever the subject matter may be." L. Pigg
"The Falling of Grace is the second book in The Falling Series, (Book one; The Falling of Love (The Falling Series Book 1)) it picks up right off from where The Falling of Love ended.
It's been 5 years since Grace and Ian last saw each other, emotions are high, the truth has now been told and of course, the spark we witnessed between them in TFOL is back, only now it's burning brighter. But can Ian and Grace keep that spark burning this time or does fate have other plans?
The Falling of Grace was not what I was expecting at all, it was so much more. The twists and turns of events that happened had me gripping my e-reader to death. My emotions were at an all time high throughout the book. Marisa is an amazing writer, who can make you feel exactly what her characters are feeling, have you staying up all night long reading and leaving you with a massive book hangover in the morning, especially with that ending! WELL PLAYED MARISA!
This will always be a favourite series for me and I can't wait to see what happens next." - S. Morell
