Free Falling: An LA Rock Star Romance by Elle GrecoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Trigger Warnings: sexual assault, emotional abuse, mention of #MeToo This novel also deals with heavy subject matter, like Naked Hearts, and Broken Promises. Luckily the heroine was a bit too cocky and strong willed for me to ignore her and label her as wow, she dumb category. Reese was a simple breath of fresh air, that I could not resist being attached to, and be wholly involved in her story. Because trust me - this is her show running. Told only in one person first pov, Reese's entire life story is pulled out and shared, letting us know how her story begins in the middle so chaotically as now an adult singer, leaving her teen star image behind. I fell for her tenacity, strong willed personality, determination and soft at times heart too, but she didn't fall for anybody like that to cater to their demands, she lived her own way and I admired that. Also her temper was something of a famous show as so, so I could also relate in that manner. Baz is no different, having to deal with his own demons, and now fighting his attraction to a younger woman, who is off-limits to him due to his demons again. But we all know Baz is never a quitter, especially when it comes to his daughter, who is also such a cutie, oh my heart. And despite their relationship being rocky at best, Baz and Reese show that they are not going to quit and forge their own path, even if society and demons disagree. And I was so there for that. Every step of their rocky, wholesome and steamy, and often tragic - MEtoo movement mention - I was there for it. Lived it breathed it, fell for them all over again. Because they were that good - alright, you can't tell me anything else. Also the side characters were fab - wish some of them got their stories too. Geez Elle, what ya waiting for? My soul's growing impatient hah. But yeah I was thoroughly invested in this novel, and cannot wait for more by this author.
