Falling Back Together (Crashing #2)
Published: May 18, 2014
“I don't know if it’s fate, coincidence, or my curse, but I'm still breathing, and my breaths are for you.”
Mags McManus is far from a normal woman in her mid twenties. Being a war widow, a business professional, and a brokenhearted train wreck only skims the surface of the layers of who Margret McManus truly is. Waking up in a hospital bed, alone and confused, Mags once again has to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart. With her best friends by her side, Mags slowly starts to learn the answers she so desperately longs for. But is everything going to continue to spiral out of control? Or is there a light at the end of this dark, twisting tunnel where all the broken pieces can finally fall back together?

I took fistfuls of his black, long-sleeved, cotton shirt, pulling him as close as I could get him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and began to kiss as passionately and roughly as I ever had. I was hungry to taste him again, to feel him again, to simply love him again.
Right then, everything melted away—the fact that we were in the middle of nowhere in a gas station, that I was supposed to hate his guts, that he had a Hyde side of him that was evil and tortured. In that moment, we were simply us—desperately and madly us.
Walker slowly shoved my jacket from my shoulders and tossed it on the metal chair next to us. Panting and gripping the hem of my shirt, he pulled away to look in my eyes. “Mags? Are you sure about this.”
I kissed him softly on the cheek. “Let’s just not think for little. Please.”
He nodded and pulled my hips hard into his, letting me feel how ready his body was for me. I pulled his shirt up over his head, revealing all the gorgeous artwork that covered his chest, shoulders, and arms. I traced my finger tips from the start of his wrist, following the flow of the inked lines until my fingers were stroking his rigid abs just over his belt buckle. Walker’s breathing was heavy as he watched me take in the manly beauty before me. Slowly, I started to kiss from his collarbone to his jaw, finally finding his soft, desperate lips.
MY REVIEW:
Another great read by Kristen and a perfect follow-up to Crashing Back Down! My heart was torn between Mags and Walker....I was aching for both of them. Walker had to live with the unbearable guilt of his dark secret and Mags had to come to terms with the fact that she was in love with the man whole shattered her world. Talk about a twisted love story! Falling Back Together picks up where CBD leaves off. When she finds out what Walker is hiding in Crashing Back Down, we leave off at the hospital where Mags has been admitted for a severe panic attack. Mags is an emotional disaster - Walker is missing and she is further crushed by his running away. She can't understand how she can love a man and hate him at the same time. Luckily she has Cali, Mitch and Buck to help her slowly put some of the pieces back together until fate throws in a few curveballs, complicating their lives even further.
A beautiful story of friendship, forgiveness and the power of destiny.
"You have to let me go."
"How can you ask that of me? How can you ask me to let go of the one person who makes my world right-side up again? The only person who understands me, who can calm me, who can save me? How can you walk away from me?"

Hi! Thanks for dropping in...
You want to know more about me? Well, let's see...
I am just an average twenty-something following my dreams. I have a full time "day job" and by night I am author. I guess you could say that writing is like my super power (I always wanted one of those). I am the lover of wine, sushi, football and the ocean; that is when I am not wrapped up in the literary world.
Please feel free to
contact me to chat about my writing, books you think I'd like or just to shoot the, well you know.
