About this ebook

He'll do anything for a second chance...
 
Deacon Hunter knows what it feels like to want. To ache. To longing for the woman who captured his heart when they were deployed in Iraq. 

To know that he screwed everything up with the one woman who trusted him. 

One night changes everything...

Kelsey Ryder has scars, the kind of scars she hopes that no one ever sees. Working around the guys at the Pint, she's reminded of everything she lost when she left the Army behind.  But she can't leave. She won't. 

No matter how much she might be afraid of the sleepless nights. 

But some scars refuse to stay hidden. 

Nothing will ever be the same.

Being alone in the dark changes everything. It's the silence that breaks her. Makes her reach out to the one man she shouldn't.

And Deacon doesn't know if he's strong enough to catch her when she falls.

Ratings and reviews

Deacon and Kelsey come alive. Catch My Fall is a haunting tale that is hard to walk away from. A thing of beauty. Ms. Scott takes readers through the trials of falling in love in the worst of circumstances. Damaged souls, broken dreams and emotional upheaval, surround two former soldiers trying to move on from the battlefield. Deacon is a protector. He needs to be needed and that inner light in him burns for the one woman so broken even he may not be able to save her. Catch My Fall is a courageous look at what devotion is and how love has the power to heal. A powerhouse read.

Catch My Fall is Book 4 of the Falling Series by Jessica Scott. While characters from other stories did make appearances along the way, these books stand nicely on their own. This story dealt with some very tough issues and showcased the struggles involved with returning to civilian life and dealing with government bureaucracy. It was an exceptional story and I loved getting to know Deacon and Kelsey. They had unfinished business after their time in Iraq and it kept me on the edge of seat seeing how they overcame the issues they were dealing with but still find love along the way and most importantly, themselves. Despite the seriousness and sometimes tense nature of this story there were even some laugh out loud moments thrown in. The yoga scene was quite comical. Overall a definite hit by Ms. Scott. I look forward to reading Caleb and Nalini's story next. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy.

I'm loving this series by Jessica Scott! It is raw and emotional and touches on the circumstances that makes loving another person extremely difficult while trying to live life when it isn't perfect or ideal. Deacon Hunter is tired of being trapped in the friend zone with Kelsey, but after all they have been through and how he behaved maybe that is right where he needs to be. Watching her try to hold it all together alone is difficult and he's hoping that she will finally realize that he's changed and only wants to be here for her when she finally falls. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
