Gravity by H.J. Bellus



                                                🌟🌟🌟🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars
Summary:
Your first love is nothing to joke about. It’s powerful, overwhelming, and something that haunts you forever. When your first love is severed, you lose a piece of your soul. Your world shatters.

My first love, Amos Marshall, left something behind for me. He promised me forever and gave that to me. It’s the GRAVITY that keeps my universe held together. This natural phenomenon keeps me whole to move forward every single day of my life.

Back in his hometown with a life-changing secret to reveal, the problem is I’m too greedy to give up the last piece of Amos that I hold dear.

Gravitational attraction has a funny way of pulling new people into your life. It’s unwanted, but the force is tenacious.

Cub Stent storms into my life piecing together my secret. He fills dark mysterious holes that have been vacant for years.

Does my heart have room for a second love?

Only Gravity will know.



I LOVED this book! There are some familiar story lines that you may have seen already in other books but this book makes them slightly different so that the book feels new and fresh. I would have given this book five stars except I felt that there needed to be some tweaking with the relationship between Cub and Gracie. I also thought that a little more background on Cub would have helped me to understand his past and him a bit better.

I thought that the relationship between Cub and Gracie should have had more of a foundation before it escalated to the levels of intimacy and feelings that were displayed. It felt a bit too much like insta-love for me. I would have also liked to see Gracie and Cub struggle with their feelings more. Everything within their relationship came together a little too easily in the beginning considering their pasts. 

 I loved everything else about the book! I loved the relationship between Amos and Gracie! They balanced each other and brought light into each others worlds. I loved his sense of humor and playfulness as well as his transformation into a warrior when anyone even thought of messing with Gracie. 

I thought that Gracie was such a strong character. She wasn't perfect but she tried to do what was right and attempted to move past her insecurities. She loved those around her fiercely and protected them from harm.

 I would have liked to understand Cub a little better in order to understand why he made the choices that he did. It may just be me but he reveals things to Gracie later on in the book and I can't understand why the author took things in that direction and why Cub made the choice that he did. 

Overall, this book was enjoyable but bring your tissues if you plan on reading it. It will rip your heart out! I bawled through parts of it!
