Let me just say, this book sunk its claws into me and just didn't let go. I am hooked <3 I always love a good book revolving around abuse. Despite always making me bawl my eyes out, there is just something so beautiful about seeing them learn to love and trust again, and to see the amount of effort put into earning their trust.
I can’t remember the last time I felt completely safe. Security seemed more like a luxury to me, reserved for those who were fortunate enough to have picture perfect childhoods. For those who didn’t bear the ugly scars that keep me bound in constant, debilitating fear. I’ve run from that fear my entire life. But when I met him, for once, I couldn’t run anymore.
He scared the hell out of me in a way that excited every fiber of my being. It wasn’t the tattoos or the piercings. It wasn’t the warmth that seemed to radiate from his frame and blanket me whenever he was near. It was just…him. The scary beautiful man that threatened to alter 23 years of routine and rituals, and make me face my crippling fear.
My name is Kami and I am constantly afraid. And the thing that scares me the most is the very thing I want.
“Don’t worry,” he smiled, pulling me into the hard warmth of his chest. “I’ve got you. I’ll always catch you when you fall.”
And just like that, Blaine had staked his claim on the untouched part of me that no living soul had ever moved. He had captured every fear, every reservation, and crushed them in the palm of his inked hand.
Author Disclaimer: Abuse is real- verbal, emotional, physical and sexual. It takes place all around us; it doesn’t discriminate against race or gender, wealth or poverty. It affects us all- those of us who’ve had to live through it, or watch it happen, even those of us who’ve only heard about it. We are all affected. We are all forever changed.
This is not a story for the faint of heart; this is the story of one woman’s very real struggle through a world against her, the people who hurt her, her real life demons and the people who showed her that every gray sky, no matter how dark, has a sun waiting to break through.
***Inspired by true events***
Fear of Falling is...enchanting, beautiful and emotional. This book is about a broken woman trying to survive, to hang on and not break.
"This. Is. Me. My situation isn’t fucked up. I’m fucked up. Completely, irrevocably, fucked up to my core”.
The amount of love Blaine has for Kami, how he just never gives up, how he sees through her and understands her. It's amazing. And at times, it's something I want. Someone who won't give up. Kami is a fighter, despite being through so so much. Her self doubts and her pushing Blaine away towards the end really gets on my nerve though, like girl, just get your damn guy and fuck your hesitations!
I love how their relationship progressed and grew. It ain't a happy fairytale. It is raw, painful and full of distrust, yet slowly becoming something so beautiful but fragile. Sexual tension between the two of them is always present and mind blowing. I adored every steamy scene.
Do read it, it is really good. And it....speaks my heart.
