~ Synopsis ~

COMING JULY 18, 2013

“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.

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.

~ Review ~

I am at such a loss of words after finishing Fear of Falling.  Such a beautifully written, amazing story about subjects that no one really wants to talk about but are very real.  I am left open and reeling from the emotional roller coaster of Fear of Falling, but it is a roller coaster that I would gladly ride again and again.

Kami is broken….she feels she is so broken she is unfixable…..she feels she is so broken she is unworthy of being loved…..but Blaine didn’t see broken, he saw beautiful.  Kami was such a complex character!  She has a past that no one deserves and because of it keeps a jar full of fears that don’t let her really live.  Blaine, oh my word, Blaine….talk about AMAZING!  He has a dark past of his own but see’s the good in Kami and wants to know every part of her.  Blaine stole my heart and oh, did he make me swoon. I loved their connection and I really loved how S.L. incorporated music into the book to show how they feel.  My iTunes account is a little larger because of it. Kami also has two best friends who face their own demons, Dom and Angel deserve stories of their own and play a huge roll in Kami’s life. I don’t really know how to express everything I feel about this book, my words will never do it justice.  This is the first book I have read by SL Jennings and I know it wont be the last.  I can honestly say I would recommend this to everyone and I know I will read it again.  So grab a box of Kleenex and prepare your self for the emotional but beautiful story of Kami and Blaine.  Fear of Falling is a must read and come July 18th I expect all of you to do so!  Thank you Ms. Jennings for the opportunity to read this story, I am truly honored.
