Defying Gravity by K.K. AllenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
THEME: Sports
BLURB:
It was an accidental spring fling three years ago—one week spent in the mountains of Big Sur and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any potential future we could have shared.
Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in L.A. and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide.
Not now. Not here. Not him.
But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened after he did.
The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t below stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart… When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple. We can’t.
Not unless we defy the rules our dreams were built on and risk everything.
REVIEW:
This was my first introduction to K.K Allen and I'm happy to say she just earned another fan. This was a sweet, emotional and tug and pull at the heart story. I loved the sweet childhood romance that grew over years of obstacles. It was a quick read but a good read.Defying Gravity follows Amelia and Toby through the years of following their passions into the NBA. Both have huge dreams and many things make their goals fluctuate and their friendship and romance have a ton of highs and lows.
Amelia is a strong and sweet woman, she dreams of being a dancer but not just any dancer one the NBA lioness'. During her journey she see's the reality of the world she wanted so badly to be apart of. I really felt for her, the ups and downs but she was so strong and made the right decision about her career.
Toby is as sweet as can be, he wears his heart on his shoulder and has so many awakenings in his personal life that I wanted to give him a bog hug. His family problems weigh heavily on him through out the book and Amelia is the one person who just gets him and is there for him. His career is the one thing besides Amelia that he knows is right and hes great at it. I loved seeing his growth.
Overall this is a great story, sweet and sexy romance, lots of depth into the world of dancing for the NBA. I have heard the stories and seen shows about it, its a grueling world and those dancers work their butts off. I also loved that my hometown was mentioned in the book, the descriptions, even minimal reminded me of home. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
