Lise *friends don't flag*'s Reviews > Falling into You

Damn… I love this author. Jasinda Wilder’s writing can draw out every deep-seated emotion and feeling I ever knew existed within me and make it all so painfully beautiful as well as thrilling.
This story starts out with childhood best friends to lovers; Kyle and Nell and their story is so sweet and tragically cut short.

Nell deals with her guilt and sadness in self-destructive ways and it is not until years later when Kyle’s older brother, Colton comes into her life, does she start to heal and forgive herself. Colton has some serious issues and secrets of his own but he is well on his road to recovery with help from his love of restoring cars to his music-

“You’re okay, now. You’re okay, now. Just hold on, one more day. Just hold on, one more hour. Someone will come for you. Someone will hold you close. I know, I know. It’s not okay, it’s not all right. But if you just hold on, One more day, one more hour. It will be. It will be.”

The healing power of music is a running theme throughout this story and the author does an amazing job of weaving together the words of this book and the lyrics of the songs.

“I could write a song, and her name would be the music. I could sing, strum a guitar, and her body would be the melody"

Colton and Nell take things slowly as they share their pain of the past and move toward the promise of a future-

“We’re both haunted by the specters of our pasts, but we have to move on sometime and force the voice of our guilt to be silent. Now is that time”

And… boy do they ever move on, and in and out, and up and down…

“He pushes in, oh so gently. Oh, god, oh, god, ohmigod. Now his circling fingers are swift and accurate, sending heat through me. I shift and arch, bow my back and roll my hips. So good. So good. I lift up onto my knees and push back, liking the fullness of his finger inside me. Oh, god. “Colton… don’t stop.”

Yeah… very intense and so full of passion and finally admitted love-

“I’m not just falling in love with you, Nell. I’m falling into you. You’re an ocean, and I’m falling in, drowning in the depths of who you are”

But fear seeps in again and something happens that could change the course of their love and you will have to read this wonderful book to find out the rest of the story.
