I knew falling for him was wrong. I did it anyway, his half smiles and blue eyes pulling me deeper. Blue eyes that made me soar. He wasn’t mine to keep, though. And like all good and rare things, it came to an end. Then he strolls into my life, armed with dimples and gray eyes. Gray eyes that ground me. He smashes through my defenses, stealing what is left of my heart. Now my heart is a war zone, … is a war zone, past and present battling for my forever.
They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice. I call bullshit on that theory.

What have you done, Autumn Grey… It was amazing read about growing up and finding your palce in the world and it was soooooo emotional and heartbreaking…. I was always team Sol, but I have to say, that Levi stole a piece of my heart, it was inevitable, he’s such adorable guy, just… not for Grace, in my opinion. And Sol and Gracie??? Wow, that spark was still there, I literally couldn’t breath when they were together, uffff! I suspected a cliffhanger, but… what was that??? OMG, how can I wait for the conclusion of this story, when I know that literally everything could happen??? Autumn, you, yet again, swept me off my feet, you chewed me emotionally and spat me out, I want more, and I want it now!!! I love this story sooooo much!!!! Thank you for this roller coaster, and for this Polish reference, you made me grin like crazy, because I’m Polish myself 😉
Angsty and steamy nail-biter. I need the next book ASAP!
OH MY HEART!! This series just keeps getting better and better. This story has gripped my heart so tightly and is not loosening up or letting go. This book was an emotional roller coaster of hope and heartache and growing for each of these characters. While this story has been absolutely gut wrenching and heart shattering, it has also been undoubtedly beautiful. Autumns creates such unique and authentic characters that burrow their way into your heart and keep you coming back for more. This book broke me in the most beautiful way and I can’t wait for what I’m sure is going to be an earth shattering epic conclusion to the grace trilogy.
Disgraceful is the highly anticipated second book in the emotionally charged and enthralling Grace Trilogy by Autumn Grey.
This book had me on an emotional roller coaster. You never know when your inching up and nearing the edge. THIS STORY CONSUMED ME!
It is one of those books that you just need to hand to someone and say read it now. My poor heart!! It’s not even the end-end and I’m already hyperventilating.
Disgraceful is passionate and captivating story. The story in itself is pretty straight forward, light, easy going.
It was as close to perfect as it gets in regards to my taste. Is a book completely consumes you and leaves you speechless! Just when I thought this world couldn’t get any more expansive, Autumn comes and proves me wrong!! The way this author tells her story is one that is so very unique. I love!! Autumn Grey is an all-time favorite author of mine, she’s one of the authors I will always go back and re-read. .

**ARC REVIEW**
Book 2 continues right from where book 1 left off. Grace has been completely heart broken with her relationship with Sol. She finally realizes she needs to move on and discover herself. Her heart will always belong to Sol but she can’t choose for him. He needs to choose and decide on his own. Grace knows what she wants and she has shown countless times to Sol and given her all.
Sol has a decision to make, he needs to come to terms that his life is not what he thought it would be and there’s no fault in loving someone that is not what you expected.
Grace and Sol move on with their lives but deep down there’s something missing. Even though Grace has found someone to keep her busy and most importantly move on. It’s just not the same and she feels guilty because she can’t give her all.
Sol is determined to get Grace back and once and for all show her, she’s the one! She’s his everything no more second guessing… Is it too late?
I’m so vested in Grace & Sol, the emotions going through this book is just overwhelming. You want the best for them and you also understand not everything can be perfect. Prepare yourself, Autumn will have you at the edge of your seat pulling for these two until the very end!
Look out for book 3!
Oh my goodness my emotions are all over the place with this one! I thought I was getting a conclusion to Sol and Grace roller coaster love story! I’m excited it’s not over! I don’t think I’m ready for an ending!
There was a moment I truly didn’t want to happen and totally didn’t not like! I understood it’s part of the story and loved the direction it went but still I didn’t like it! For me at that point it felt everything was going to be over!
But Autumn Grey never disappoints. I knew from the start I was going to love this story and be blown away. She has this way of telling her stories. She’ll transfix you into this world full of so much emotions, where you are left super satisfied and craving more! Her characters are simply amazing and they become family.
Can’t wait to see where this story goes and hope Sol and Grace get thier happy ending! Im team sol all the way!
Ugh! I want to have a conversation with Ms. Grey! Seriously! My heart! This story has been up and down and where you want it to go. It doesn’t but then you can relate to where it’s going. Finally things come together and yes! The ending!!!! Book 3 better have good news to bring ,is all I’m saying!
Rant over!
This story is a complicated one but a good one! I highly recommend reading both books!
Autumn has literally shattered my heart with Disgraceful. I knew coming in that this was going to be a love triangle, and apparently I love to be tortured. Not only have I had a soft spot for Sol because the love he and Grace have is pure, it’s beautiful and refreshing but when things don’t go the way they want, they both move on and try to live their lives without each other.
Grace is still so very much in love with Sol but she knows that love is forbidden. She runs into Levi and now Levi is being as charming as he possibly can because he’s drawn to Grace and he’s going to try his hardest to win her heart one way or another. He knows it’s going to be a hard task but he’s not going to go down without a fight.
I am so damn torn because I fell in love with Sol in the first book but now I’m in love with Levi and I feel like I can’t choose sides and it’s tearing me apart. But only Grace can make the decision that is best for her whether I think it’s the right one or not.
Autumn has left me with the worst cliffhanger of my life!
I can’t wait to read the conclusion to this beautiful, messed up love story.
Disgraceful is seriously the best of the trilogy yet! Autumn Grey has done an incredible job with with this book. I am seriously addicted to her words.
From the previous novel, we get to see Grace and Sol in different worlds, and change within themselves as a puzzle trying to fit into this world. I loved seeing them grown into adults and try to find themselves. I was just as addicted from the first page as I was from the first book.
The element of religions and the deepeness of it and its affect is something that is spread throughout. I don’t read much religion based novels, but this one I thoroughly enjoyed. Though, if you’re not into it, I would be careful before considering reading this book.
Disgraceful is a novel that is beautifully written and is a novel that was thoroughly enjoyed by tours truly. It holds poignant meanings before it, and is also steamy and angsty; Written in true Autumn Grey form. Bring on book three!
Emotional rollercoaster, round two!
These characters put themselves through the wringer like nobody’s business. I was not sure I was going to like where the author was going (still not, tbh) with a triangle like she set up but it works. Sol and Gracie just can’t get their shit together. One of them is always walking away, choosing something else because they feel they are supposed to, or it’s the right thing to do. I’m a bit concerned about these friends they both have too, because most of their advice is total crap.
Grace likes Levi. Levi likes Grace. Grace is still hung up on Sol. Sol is figuring out he’ll never not be hung up on Grace. Levi is still stuck on Jessica. It’s all a MESS. There’s no way this is going to end pretty, but I can’t wait for book 3 to see where the chips fall!
If you like college age drama, this is a great series for you!
Grace is heartbroken over decision she has to make. She’s in love with Sol but she won’t make him give up what he’s worked so hard for so long. Sol knows what he did goes against the life he’s been working toward. They are both heartbroken but have to find a way to live now. Will they ever get back together or will they move on?
Autumn Grey has messed up my heart and head in a spectacular fashion. I mean I was not ready for this. Well I AM not ready to accept and acknowledge my feelings even after finishing this emotional rollercoaster. I actually hate her a bit for leaving me with that jaw dropping ending. That was not fair because the wait will be torture. She has poured unlimited angst and tragic feelings in this story. I am feeling beaten and bruised with the tender,shocking and burning feelings. But it was so worth it.
First thing first, I am Team Sol all the way. And Autumn Grey introduced Levi as if one perfect guy was not enough! I absolutely understand Grace’s dilemma. No sane girl can resist a sweet, sexy, charming, caring guy like Levi specially while nursing a devastating wound from an epic first love. I cannot hate this guy or find his faults but each time I swooned over him I felt I am cheating my Sol. Yes I am having real life hard feelings for a fictional character. It just tells you how brilliant and awe inspiring is Autumn Grey’s writing. Grace’s character was portrayed with unapologetically real and honest emotions. She may not be perfect or doing the right thing everytime while facing a difficult decision but that’s what make her close to my heart. My heart is breaking for them. For everyone. It was very difficult to go on at some points. And I actually threw my device quite a few times and cried and cursed a lot.
I begged for mercy for my poor broken heart as Autumn Grey caused chaos and mayhem with the beautifully tragic feelings. This story was intense, poignant and flawlessly twisted. I went through some extreme emotions and I am afraid the ache in my heart will not go away for a long time.
Received ARC for Honest Review
Autumn Grey has done it again! I am speechless after finishing this part of the Grace trilogy. Holy smokes talk about emotional whiplash. Disgraceful came at me from every angle and I could not put it down.
I wasn’t expecting to be so consumed but Grace’s turmoil didn’t let me go. I felt for this girl who was trying so hard to move forward. To find some peace. Some sense of self. Thankfully, she had school and her best friend, MJ, to keep her head too busy to worry about everything her heart was suffering. But that only lasted so long because Levi, with the patience of a saint, wormed his way into Grace’s world.
Yep, there’s your mini spoiler, Grace gets herself mixed up in a love triangle of her own making. Torn between the love of her past, and the love of her present, things got even more muddled when Sol shows up. This guy who put everything on the line for Grace and he wasn’t going down without a fight.
For as much as I like Sol, I liked Levi too. I can’t even being to understand how Grace was going to make a choice. It was nearly impossible and it was all building up to something explosive. And did it ever. Autumn Grey caught me totally off guard with that heart stopping ending. I NEED to know what happens next!
Disgraceful was everything I was looking for in the follow-up to Sol and Grace’s story and that much more. With the added twist of Levi’s addition, I am torn in two directions. This adds so much more to the story in my opinion.
The pages just melted together as I read, pulling me in and making me want more. But not just for me, for the characters also. I felt invested in their story, their decisions and dilemmas, and their outcome. But I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to be Grace! Autumn Grey wrote the characters to life for me and helped make me feel their pain, turmoul and emotions.
We’re dealt another cliff-hanger with Grace’s decision for her future which makes this story even more intriguing and engaging. I can’t wait to find out choice and the path she chooses to her happily ever after.
This book is the second book in the Grace Series and this author does not disappoint. You definitely have to read book #1 in the series to be able to follow the story line and help you understand what is going on, this book is not a stand alone. This book picks straight up right where book #1 left of and you just have to see what happens.
This book will pull you in right from the very first page and you will not be able to put it down. This author has written this book so great that I absolutely loved this book. OMG!
Book #1 Desolate
Book #2 Disgraceful
Grace knows what she wants but when it comes to her heart she gets very torn and you really feel for what she is going through. When they take a break she just cant get Sol out of her mind and tries to move on.
The journey that these characters go on will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat.
Sol is such a loyal descent man that is very protective.
They both take time apart to figure things out and see what they both what out of life and there relationship together. But they both didn’t expect fro things to change so much.
When Levi comes into the picture, omg, your emotions will go up and down on an emotional roller coaster and it will make you question everything in your mind.
These two really love each other and life has thrown some curve balls at them and your just not sure what will happen between them both. There connection is undeniable and the love triangle no that they are on is so raw especially for Grace. They love and the drama and the confusion and the desperate hope that these go through will have your heart breaking in two.
This author can really write fantastic characters and the reader will have a connection with them and really feel what they are going though. I love her writing style and how the book has all the feelings and heart stopping moments that it is fabulous. This book will really pull you in and consume your soul completely and you wont be able to put it down. I cant wait to read book #3 in this series, I need it NOW PLEASE!
Thank you to the author and the publishers for allowing me to read a copy of this book is exchange for a honest voluntary review. This book is a must read, this series is a complete must read and I highly recommend that everyone read these books.
This book is out now.
I had high expectations for this read due to the way the first book ended. But I felt like this book didn’t give me nearly enough. It strung me along only to end in another cliffhanger with not much action the entire read.
The back and forth between Sol and Grace continued, but throw another man into the equation and all certainty flies out the window. Who will she choose? Her first love or a fresh start? Who wants her more, the steadfast exiled golden boy or the heartbreaker college frat boy?
The back and forth gave me whiplash and in the end I felt like Grace didn’t deserve either man. Levi, despite his reputation, was still too hung up on his ex to fully commit himself to Grace and therefore wasn’t the right fit for her. Sol was still battling his inner demons and while he loved her something fierce, I felt like he wasn’t the right choice either. And Grace’s desire to have her cake and eat it too made me want her to end up alone so she could find herself and what she needed to truly be happy.
I hope the next book seals the fate of all 3 of these characters and puts me out of my misery!
This is the second book in the trilogy and needs to be read in order.
Grace Miller is in love with Soloman Callan but knows she can’t be his second anymore and no matter how much it pains her, she knows she has to end it before it destroys her.
All Soloman Callan ever wanted was to become a priest but when he realizes how much he loves Grace he knows that he must confess to his spiritual advisor and take what is handed out. But now that
everything Sol wanted is gone he must find a new path in life and feel like he has something to offer Grace.
As Grace returns to school she is ready to try and put one foot in front of the other and she is pursued by soccer star Levi Keenan. Levi has his own demons after a bad breakup with Jessica Knowles. Can Levi and Grace get over their heartaches together but is Grace really ready to move on from Sol?
This is a great second book and at times I was so mad at Grace in the book, I knew I had to keep on reading!
I did really like Grace but I really wanted her with Sol so I was really hoping she wouldn’t give Levi the time of day. Unfortunately for me Grace did start spending more time with Levi and things progressed
between them. There were a few things about Levi that I really didn’t care for and I understood that he wanted to “stake his claim” but some of the things that he said were so rude and he was a jerk so many
times. Other times Levi seemed like this perfect guy but I couldn’t get over all the cheap shots that he would take at both Grace and Sol.
My heart was broken for Sol and how he really lost his place in life. He knew he wanted to serve God but at the same time he never wanted to lose Grace so he needed to find his place which he struggled with.
He didn’t want to be seen as a failure and also didn’t want to burden Grace with what he was going through. I wanted him to be more open with Grace so she knew how he felt.
I was shocked with Jessica and I didn’t trust her at all. Even at towards the end I feel like she was still
trying to get Grace out of the picture.
The end was just totally jaw-dropping and just leaves you in a terrible place as you know you have to wait for the conclusion to find out anything! The way it ended and with what Sol did was OMG!!!
Now to patiently wait for the next one…. By Rebecca
I really loved the first book Desolate, but for me I couldn’t really connect with the story or the characters in Disgraceful until about the half way mark. Once it got to that point it did start to pick up and keep my interest and I did enjoy it more from then on.
This story really took a turn I wasn’t expecting. It just threw me off a bit. Like the new love interest. And by no means did I dislike him, it was actually pretty opposite and that made it harder because I really grew to like his character, and that sucked because I love Sol and just really didn’t want to see Grace move on from him. My emotions were all over the place.
“How do you ever stop loving someone whose pieces are woven with yours so intricately he’s a part of you? How do you pretend that an earthquake didn’t split you in two?”
Like I said once it hit the halfway mark I started to enjoy the story a bit more. I did feel frustrated for a lot of the story. Mostly because of Grace and her decision making. I kind of feel like it was that frustration that kept me going and needing to know how it all turns out.
I was never really able to connect with the characters, not like I did with them in the first book.
I still love Sol. He was great, and I loved seeing him development and become his own person, but we don’t really get a whole lot of his point of view in Disgraceful.
“I believe God puts people in our lives for different purposes. Some people stay for a while before leaving for good and some stay.”
I didn’t really enjoy Grace as much as I did in the first book. She was the one that frustrated me the most, and like I mentioned that was mostly because of the decisions she makes.
They are both in that point in their lives, full of self discovery and trying to figure out who they are as individuals. We see a lot of growth from both of them throughout the book.
“If I’m a grenade, then Sol is the safety pin keeping the explosion at bay. One touch from him, and I’ll go off.”
I really would have liked to see more of Sol’s point of view in this one. They spend a lot of time apart and most of it is focused on Grace. Which I understand, she definitely had a lot going on and a lot to work through, but I love Sol and would have liked to see more of him.
Overall it just wasn’t my favorite, but I will be picking up the third book when it’s out to see the conclusion to Sol and Graces story. Especially after that ending!
*I Recieved an ARC from Give Me Books PR in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and thoughts are my own*
disgraceful is the second book in the Grace Trilogy. Must read these books in order, as this story picks up right were it was left off in desolate, and I couldn’t wait to read what was going to happen between Sol and Grace. The emotions, made my heart hurt for these two characters, they had the type of love that you could move mountains with, but so many obstacles to overcome. I was cheering for them, hoping they coud find away. Can’t wait to read the conclusion to this intriguing series.
Disgraceful by Autumn Grey is Book#2 of the Grace Trilogy and must be read in order. It picks up from the first book left off. We were left with a cliffhanger. I was drawn back into a world of love, pain & heartache.
Autumn Grey writes a story with unexpected twists and turns. The angst and heartbreak swallow you whole. .I can’t wait for the next book. If angst is your ham, I highly recommend reading this.
