Defying Gravity by Laura Farr is the second book in the Healing Hearts series. We get to hear the story through Savannah’s point of view. Emotion, heat, sweetness, and angst mix into a wonderful lovestory. I adored Savannah and Josh and their brother’s best friend/longtime crush story. These characters really had me feeling the feels and drew me depp into their lives. Loved it!
After reading Taking Chances (the debut novel by this author) and absolutely loving it, I was hoping that I would find the second book in this series just as enjoyable and oh yeah…. I was not disappointed at all!! This book focuses on Josh and Savannah but I love how the other characters from Taking Chances are included in the story too. This book has it all as I laughed, cried, sat on the edge of my seat wondering how situations were going to unfold and in fact it has everything I love and look for in a great story. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Defying Gravity and if you have yet to read Taking Chances…. you are missing a treat there too!! Fantastic read!!
KK Allen- I love her writing!! And I love Amelia and Tobias’ story!! Second chances and real love and putting other above yourself!! Just amazing here!!
Amelia’s dream is be a n NBA dancer and Tobias wants to be in the NBA. Can they make their dreams come true and still be together?
This book is well written, keeps your attention and wanting more. I loved watching both Amelia and Tobias grow together and separately to become who they are. I love the honesty of Tobias and Amelia’s fight as she grows. Just a beautiful book! Thank you KK Allen for all the feels!!
I’m speechless! After reading her debut book that was already a hit for me, I was looking forward to reading Savannah’s story and it was well worth the wait. If I could give the book more than 5 stars, I would! Don’t know how the author has done it but the way the story was written, you can’t help but relate and feel every word like it’s you that’s going through it. That’s just true magic. I had tears in my eyes ‘cuz I could relate to Savannah and how she felt. The story really touched my heart and I cannot wait to read Brody’s story next!
Savannah has been in love with Josh since her teenage years but no matter how hard she tried to get his attention, he doesn’t see her standing. She does everything in her power to try to get over him but nothing seems to work and when something happens she never thought possible, being with Josh seems even more further away.
But Josh has a secret of his own and no matter how hard he tries to stay away from Savannah, every day it seems to be even harder to let her go. And when Savannah’s life is turned upside down, he’ll be even more determined to change things for the better…
This is a swoontastic, fairly angsty, brother’s best friend, cowboy romance and I loved every swooning second. There’s so much heart to everything Laura writes, and you really feel like you know the characters. So I was incredibly invested in Josh and Sav’s story from the get go, especially having grown to learn about them and love them in Taking Chances.
I love how Farr takes things that are potential cliches in the romance genre, and she transforms them into something utterly unique and completely mind bending, with some absolutely genius plot twists! A sexy, sweet, steamy romance that’s the epitome of the perfect summer read, it grabbed my heart and took it along for the journey! I’m so so excited to see what Laura Farr brings us next!
