Eleven years ago, I saved her. I loved her. But they took me away from her and locked me up. For two years, all I could think about was her. She consumed me. Took up every room in my head and gave me something to focus on, knowing I would see her soon.Nine years ago, I watched her as she walked down the aisle and into the arms of a man who wasn’t me. My brother. I left my home and never looked … never looked back.
Now, I’m staring at seven letters, each envelope stamped with one word in bold, red ink: URGENT.
I have no choice but to go back home. Seeing her will be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. But in order to reconcile with my past, I have to face my present. Even if the thought of seeing her, knowing that she is out of my reach, kills me.
I have no idea what awaits me, but I can only hope that the demons of my past will finally be buried and put to rest.

This was such an awesome book. I am ashamed it took me so long to actually read it even though I purchased it quite a while back. What an absolute gem.
Nor and Cole’s story was a mix of past and present, love and heartbreak. This was a story that sucked you in, made you feel every bit of the emotion and pain and had you totally invested in this couples relationship. This does cover a sensitive subject and is done in such a wonderful way.
There are stories that are good and stories that are great. This is the great variety, the type of story that makes reading worth the time in every way. The kind of story that grips you from page one, has you hanging one and never wanting to put it down. Sleep can come at another time! Take the time to read this one, I promise it will not disappoint.
5 STARS FOR FALL BACK SKYWARD!! Love, Love and loved some more. This book will be in my top 10 favorites for 2018. This story will hit all your emotion buttons and will not let up. I was so invested in Cole, Nor and Josh’s story, I could not put it down. This author writing is phenomenal, she pulls you into the characters world and doesn’t let you go until the last word. I am mad at myself for not reading this book and author earlier, make sure you 1-click this book, it is so worth your time and money.
WOW! Why on earth I waited this long to read Autumn Grey, I will never know. This book was everything. It had ALL. THE. FEELS! Her words are so well written I was completely engrossed in the characters and their struggles. Every bump in the road between Cole and Nor was felt deep down in my heart. The angst, heartbreak and uphill battles between these two beautiful characters consumed my thoughts.
Cole and Nor’s love story takes time, patience and nurturing. I’m not a patient person by nature, but I am so happy I took this journey with them. Their story captured my heart and attention in a way that I will not forget. I think of these characters and am reminded of all they went through and sacrificed in life to find the HEA they both desired. Cole and Nor were so strong when they needed to be, regardless of what life threw at them and I loved them more for it.
All the characters in this story were integral in this second chance romance between high school sweethearts. They all touched Cole and Nor’s life in significant ways, some steering their relationship in directions that were beyond their control. This was a roller coaster of emotions for me. I felt hatred, sadness, despair. But on the flip side, the happiness and love I felt between Cole and Nor was present even through all the turmoil. There were beautiful, swoony times that set my heart on fire. Even through the darkest of times, Cole and Nor’s strength was like a beacon of hope.
This is not a typical love story, but one I strongly recommend you read!
I truly love Autumn’s art of telling a story telling. She has the ability to take you the reader by the hand and lead you on an amazing journey with her characters.
This is a beautiful, heartbreaking story of young love, external forces, second chances, forgiveness and true happiness.
Cole is our strong, brooding, stubborn, sexy young man. So bossy but oh so kind.
Eleanor is a beautiful young woman or so it appears on the outside but looks can be deceiving. She has lived a life under the thumb a an abusive unloving father. She has done her best to be a shield to her two younger sisters and emotionally damaged mother but it has taken it’s toll on her. She deals with her inward pain by inflicting abuse on herself to hopefully numb and suppress the turmoil on the inside.
Cole is taken off guard by the intial spark he feels when Eleanor moves in next door. Eleanor is not easily swayed but with friendship, understanding and kid gloves it turns into a beautifully heartbreaking love story.
Our road to happiness is not always straight and narrow. So many external forces, obstacles, deceipt and lies. Sometimes you just need to crawl out of the ashes and strive for that Second Chance!
You make me feel safe..you make me a better person. You silently entered my life, swept me off my feet and I fell truly and madly in love with you. I want nothing more that to fall back skyward with you .
Nor
Thank you Autumn for writng characters and books that I fall in love with!
I was gifted a copy for an honest review.
Cole is immediately drawn to Nor from the moment he saw her but stayed away because he didn’t know how she would react to him being death. Cole didn’t need to worry because Nor felt the same way he did. Cole and Nor couldn’t stay away from each other but someone in their lives didn’t want them together but they were determined to be together. A series events will pull them apart and it will only take a tragic event in their lives to get them back together.
There is nothing that I didn’t like about this book. This is the first book that I’ve read by this author but definitely not my last. Cole and Nor had a love that was strong from the very beginning and even though they were apart it was still there. Cole and Nor had a lot of issues to deal with in order to find their happiness. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
Fall Back Skyward was all about emotions and amazing characters. I was feeling so much throughout this story and my heart broke and ached for Cole, Nor and Josh. These three people’s lives were forever changed by a horrible and bitter man. I don’t recall that I have ever hated a character as much as Nor’s father. Just the mere mention of him and I saw red. His actions were despicable and pathetic.
My love and respect for Nor kept growing as she got older. She was beyond strong despite battling her demons but she never gave up. Along with Cole and Josh she couldn’t have chosen two better men to be a part of her life. These brothers were beautiful with a good heart. Simple as that! Cole was perfection in every way. His love and support for Nor was heartbreakingly beautiful and real. His brother Josh was loyal to the bone when it came to his family and his choices were commendable and honest.
Cole and Nor’s slow building romance was written beautifully and at the right pace. Nothing felt forced and their connection was uniquely intense. I reveled in their beautiful moments they had together cause they felt magical.
There were so many fabulous characters in Fall Back Skyward. Nor’s and Cole’s best friends proved to be more than just their friends. They were family and I enjoyed their interaction with Cole and Nor.
Autumn Grey delivered a powerful story about unconditional love, soul mates and choices. This was hauntingly beautiful and dark at the same time but it only made this story hit me right where it hurts. In my heart.
An absolutely stunning read, and my first, from Autumn Grey! I honestly wish there was a way we could rate over 5 stars, because this one deserves at least 50! I sincerely hope I can do this gorgeous book justice.
I have to start off with the fact that Autumn touched on some subjects that many of us take for granted because we can’t see the problem in others. And let me tell you, she did it BEAUTIFULLY. The way the story was woven truly made it hard for me to put this book down. There’s definitely a rollercoaster of emotions – anger, humor, fear, strength, sadness – and it is balanced so well!!!
I cannot say enough about Cole and Nora’s relationship. It showed exactly how strong both characters are. The growth between them is amazing. They are now on my top 5 couple list.
I absolutely recommend this wonderful book!!!!
This is not a typical story. Stories generally cover a certain time period or event. Fall Back Skyward is a lifetime. A lifetime of pain, hurt, scars, cruelty. And love. Truly epic Romeo&Juliet type love.
Be warned… there are many triggers for anyone that has suffered an abusive relationship and/or depression.
This is a story of survival.
One of my top reads of 2016! A flawlessly written love story that I have read again and again.
