This is Falling Review

This is Falling

By Ginger Scott

This is a perfect game, grand slam, All-Star Team all wrapped up in one magnificent novel.

I'm not entirely sure how it happens, but Ginger Scott manages to create a story I want to read over and over again.
This is Falling is no exception.

Rowe Stanton and Nate Preeter have made my favorite characters list and they stand out from many others.

Synopsis:

First, I had to remember how to breathe. Then, I had to learn how to survive. Two years, three months and sixteen days had passed since I was the Rowe Stanton from before, since tragedy stole my youth and my heart went along with it.

When I left for college, I put a thousand miles between my future and my past. I’d made a choice—I was going to cross back to the other side, tolive with the living. I just didn’t know how.

And then I met Nate Preeter.

An All-American baseball player, Nate wasn’t supposed to notice a ghost-of-a-girl like me. But he did. He shouldn’t want to know my name. But he did. And when he learned my secret and saw the scars it left behind, he was supposed to run. But he didn’t.

My heart was dead, and I was never supposed to belong to anyone. But Nate Preeter had me feeling, and he made me want to be his. He showed me everything I was missing.

And then he showed me how to fall.


Most females like the idea of being the reason the bad boy, play boy, the multiple-woman man changes. No, scratch that, we LOVE it! We want to be that special to someone, but just because they aren't a big a-- ...ah, Jerk, doesn't mean you'd be any less special.

Nate is far from the bad boy. He is a genuinely good guy with a soft-heart. But that doesn't mean he doesn't find himself in sticky situations. Sometimes his best intentions are directed at the wrong people.

Rowe is a girl trying to get back to living instead of being stuck in the horror of her past. Since her chance encounter with Nate, she can't help but want to move on, but the guilt still manages to hold her heart back.

I cried for Rowe, I cried for Nate.

Nate melted my heart and I'm not sure it will ever be the same again. Rowe captivated me and I admire her for everything she went through that I couldn't even begin to imagine.

Even though the story is Nate and Rowe's, Ms. Scott does a fabulous job with the other characters of Ty and Cass. We get so much of them, you can't help but want more of them. And Thank God we do! Ty and Cass' story comes later this year.

But my other favorite part? Baseball

Baseball is the sport this book revolves around and if that just doesn't tug at my heart, I don't know what does. And maybe the subtle mention of Tulo (Troy Tulowitzki, short stop for the CO Rockies) had me giving a little victory fist pump since the Rox are my team.

This is Falling releases August 29th and you can bet I will have direct links up as soon as they are available. I can't wait for the world to meet Nate and Rowe. Heaven knows they've changed mine.

For now, Add it to your To-Read list!!

How We Deal With Gravity

How We Deal With Gravity by Ginger Scott

Meet Avery, Mason and Max. These three on their own are incredibly dynamic, but put them together and they create a force to be reckoned with. 

Avery is a single mother struggling to provide for Max, her autistic son, in every way he needs. She has never known such love and heartache all at once. Max is her everything and she fights for him at every turn.

Mason has been gone for 5 years getting into trouble, drugs and women while being the front man for his band. When the record label drops his contract, he has nowhere else to go except for home. To Avery's home.

Avery's life is already a daily struggle with Max and attempting to complete her degree a few classes at a time, she is now faced with dealing with her first love from high school; the one that broke her heart.

Avery and Mason have changed drastically from 5 years ago and now that they are under the same roof, can their differences and current struggles bring them together? Or will it tear them apart even more?

I was sucked in right from the get-go. As a mother, the prologue really hit home, but not in the sense that my child has autism, but that kids will be kids and people don't seem to understand that or accept it.

As the story goes on, I find myself admiring Avery and everything she has gone through for her son and still having the strength to be herself.

Mason was trouble from the start, but you can't help but adore him, especially when he does accept Max for who he is and how he begins to see Avery.

Max. Oh Max. It broke my heart to go through their daily struggles, but he is so genuine and smart, I wanted to be a warrior for him right alongside Avery.

Ms Scott's writing and portrayal of Avery and Max and their lives being changed by autism was incredibly real and gives readers an insight into what some families go through every single day. 

Another fantastic novel by Ginger Scott and I can't wait to read the next :D

This is Falling Cover Reveal

It's a Ginger Scott kind of day for me!

First up and incredibly exciting is the cover reveal for her next book, This is Falling.

Meet Rowe and Nate

First, I had to remember how to breathe. Then, I had to learn how to survive. Two years, three months and sixteen days had passed since I was the Rowe Stanton from before, since tragedy stole my youth and my heart went along with it.

When I left for college, I put a thousand miles between my future and my past. I’d made a choice—I was going to cross back to the other side, to live with the living. I just didn’t know how.

And then I met Nate Preeter.

An All-American baseball player, Nate wasn’t supposed to notice a ghost-of-a-girl like me. But he did. He shouldn’t want to know my name. But he did. And when he learned my secret and saw the scars it left behind, he was supposed to run. But he didn’t.

My heart was dead, and I was never supposed to belong to anyone. But Nate Preeter had me feeling, and he made me want to be his. He showed me everything I was missing.

And then he showed me how to fall.

I have had the pleasure of being able to read and review all of Ms Scott's books before they are released. Her books have a wide range of characters and personalities that I have fallen in love with and I highly, highly, highly recommend all of her books to any and everyone (just ask my friends and family). However, I think I am most excited about This is Falling because baseball is at the center of my heart. Baseball and books fight for my time and attention and in this case, they both win!

Thanks to Ginger Scott, I am starting this book today!!

*And I did say that was first so there must be a second which is my review for Ginger Scott's How We Deal With Gravity, but these both deserve their own pages :)
