Defying Gravity- Review

Defying Gravity by K.K. Allen


Synopsis: 

Our greatest risk was the one we never took …

It was an accidental spring fling three years ago, one week in the mountains of Big Sur, and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return, his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any future we might have shared.

Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in LA, and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened the time he did.

The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t above stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart. When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple—we can’t.

Not unless we defy the rules our dreams are built on … and risk everything.

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. I am obsessed with siblings older brother romances and best friends brother romances right now. I did not read Falling from Gravity, which is a prequel to this book beforehand and I wish I would have. It's free on Amazon right now too! This book can be read alone, however you will connect with the characters better I think if you read the prequel and understand better how Tobias and Amelia got together in the first place. Tobias wants to be a basketball star for the NBA, while Amelia wants to be a dancer and in order to achieve their dreams they have to be separated for awhile. I enjoyed the second chance romance and that the book was not full of angst. Amelia and Tobias have a relationship that is on a roller coaster, but it feels genuine. They both make mistakes, they both care for each other and they both want the other to achieve their dreams. Sometimes the journey to get back together is not as smooth as you want it to be. Overall, I liked how at one point both the characters fought for what they wanted. If you are looking for a second chance, sports romance without a lot of angst this is the book for you. I just highly recommend reading the prequel first and I will be doing that soon!
