Grace is an incredible woman! The courage, strength and resilience it took her to go through all the horrors, trauma and abuse were absolutely admirable. She’s a survivor. Even more, despite everything that happened to her, leaving her so broken, Grace still remained compassionate, caring and always thinking of other’s well-being, too. I also loved her determination to stand her ground and stick to her principles even when she was facing the most dangerous of men. Grace is amazing and I loved her so, so much!

And then, there’s Elias! The cartel boss is violent, ruthless, vicious, fearsome and deadly. He’s not someone you mess with and live to tell the tale. But there’s another side of him, too. The one of a loving and loyal son and of a man who will stop at nothing to protect what’s his. Elias is not a good or a kind man, but I loved him nonetheless.

I loved everything that happened between Grace and Elias! For years Grace has endured unimaginable horrors, until one night she finally has the chance to escape. But things don’t go as planned and Grace goes out of the frying pan and right into the fire. I loved Elias and Grace together. They definitely didn’t start on the right foot, but I loved every moment of their relationship’s development. I loved the tension and the suspense. But most of all, I loved watching Elias’s feelings for Grace slowly bloom and all the ways he took care and was there for her. And I loved being part of Grace’s healing journey - it was not an easy one, but it was more than deserved. It took some time for both to learn to trust each other. And when they finally gave into the undeniable need for one another, the passionate moments they shared were so hot. Grace and Elias were incredible together and more than earned to find happiness and love with each other.

Overall, Falling With Grace is a dark and intense story with incredible characters. It will break your heart but it will also make it whole again in the end.

I loved it!
