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!!
