BURNING THROUGH GRAVITY by Addison Moore

August 2014

GOOD READS

BOOK SUMMARY:

 BURNING THROUGH GRAVITY—they soared so high so fast they never expected the fall.

Two beautiful souls.

Two seemingly innocent deceptions.

Once they meet, Stevie and Ford explode into one another in a ball of lust, hotter than a July moon. Ford is assertive, dominate and in control, that is until Stevie brings him to his knees. He thinks she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever met both inside and out. Stevie thinks he’s sweet, and sort of goofy—of course it doesn’t hurt that he drips sex like honey.

Stevie is starting to fall hard for Ford.

And Ford is all in with Stevie.

She wonders if he could ever forgive her for what she’s about to do.

She wonders if she wants him to.

They say love conquers all.

But love never met two liars like Stevie and Ford.

His lie cost her a few sleepless nights.

Her lie will cost him everything.

Kim's Review

Stevie (Stephanie) and Claire Easton were as close as two sisters could be until Claire’s death from cancer at the age of 16.  Now seven years later Stevie is still dealing with the loss of her sister and feels like she has nothing left, the loss of Claire has starting to consume her. As a product of an affair between her mother and Lans LionHeart, she has filled her head with reasons why Stevie should never trust a man.  Now that Stevie is in her last year of college she is looking forward to her internship with Merlin, a media company her dad owns, she wants to get into his good graces. Stevie still has her half sister Aspen (also from one of her father’s affair), her half siblings Kinsley and Lincoln to turn to.

Ford (Crawford) Cannon started a multimedia company called Jinx with his brothers and the success of the company has made him a household name. He has no problem getting any woman he wants but they only seem to want him for his money.  He rarely spends more than one night with them except when he spends time with a long time friend/ex Evelyn.  She has been in his life for the past ten years and he seems to always keep coming back to her. Ford has been looking for some one who doesn’t care about who he is or how much money he’ll spend on them.

Stevie attends a function held by her father, intending to spend one last night with her family before she goes to visit Claire.  Invited by Lans, Ford decided to step into enemy territory walking around checking out Jinx’s competition with Evelyn handing on his arm when sees Stevie standing outside.  She has not only caught Ford’s attention but he is also drawn to her for reason unknown.  After ditching Evelyn, Ford goes out to meet Stevie.  They spend time talking and he soon realizes she has no idea who he is, making her all that more appealing to him. Stevie decides she going to flirt and spend one night with this handsome stranger she just met putting off her original plans with Claire. The problem for both Ford and Stevie is just one night is not enough for them, they want more but without the proper introduction these two have no idea what they are getting themselves into.

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.  When reading the synopsis for the book I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I have never read any of Addison Moore’s books before.  This book had me hooked within the first chapter.  I didn’t want to but had to know what Stevie was going to do and how Ford would play a part in her plans.  She’s a strong woman who seems so lost without her twin sister.  I get that the loss of Claire was like losing half of herself, and with a mother like hers I can is see how it was hard to deal with the loss and move. I felt for Stevie and wanted her to come to terms with Claire’s death. Ford is a guy who is dark walking with a cloud over him and doesn’t know who her can trust.  With Evelyn in his life it makes it even worse as she is almost toxic to him.  Once Ford meets Stevie he could see a way out from underneath the dark cloud that engulfing him.  He is just the right amount of Alpha male any girl could ever want.  Not too controlling or possessive but has a kind, caring heart.  I love how Ford truly loves Stevie and would give up anything just to be with her. Evelyn (or Evilyn as Stevie calls her) is exactly the kind of money hungry, gold digging witch that would do anything to get what she wants.  I love the nickname Stevie gave her as it suits her to a T.  As I got further into the book I couldn’t put it down until the anxiety kicked in and I wasn’t sure I wanted to know what Evelyn or Lans was going do to next.  I couldn’t just leave the book alone even though it was too late to be reading as I had to find out if Ford and Stevie would be okay. 

I love how Addison developed all the main characters in the book setting it up for the series and how they all interact with each other throughout the book.  I look forward to reading next book in the series as Carter’s (Crawford’s brother) and Aspen story is next.

If you have a spare second or looking for an amazing book to read, Burning Through Gravity has to be put at the top of your list.  I loved this book and would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone who reads.
