Publisher Description
From the BookTok sensation and New York Times bestselling author of Bully and Falls Boys comes the fourth novel in the Fall Away series.
He's the guy she’s supposed to avoid. She's the girl he won’t let get away....
K. C. Carter has always followed the rules—until this year, when a mistake leaves her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes crashing to a halt. Now she’s stuck in her small hometown for the summer to complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse, trouble is living right next door.
Jaxon Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl who wouldn’t give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has brought K.C. back into his life—except what he thought was a great twist of luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As they grow closer, he discovers that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother’s shadow is hard, but revealing the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible....
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Douglas's hard-edged, emotionally raw third Fall Away new adult romance (after Rival) seethes with passion. Good girl K.C. Carter is home from college for the summer and still reeling from a rough breakup. Vulnerable K.C. is unable to resist the dangerous charms of Jaxon Trent, the bad boy next door. The clash of personalities leads to a series of steamy encounters, and the two begin falling in love despite their best efforts. However, K.C. has to escape the shadow of her dead sister and emotionally abusive mother, while Jax has his own checkered past to overcome. When K.C. reclaims her birth name Juliet and Jax opens up his heart, they can finally start healing each other. Passion and anger simmer on the page, turning love into a battlefield (in which sex is one of many skirmishes) as Douglas unleashes her characters' inhibitions and dark sides. Sometimes it's hard to believe Juliet and Jax can calm down long enough to establish a healthy relationship, but their chemistry is downright explosive.

LEFT ME IN TEARS
I CAN’T EXPLAIN MY LOVE FOR THIS BOOK—HAVE TO WRITE IN CAPS LOCK BECAUSE I’M TOO GODDAMN OBSESSED AND FOREVER IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK.
Wow I can’t but say that you’ve blown me away. I honestly have no words to explain how much I loved it and hated it for making me feel so miserable reading it constantly in tears, feeling for the characters. Well done Penelope.
One thing I didn’t like was how aggressive and toxic Jaxon seemed to be, I know for a fact I would never fall for a guy like that. Like when he pulled the knife on Juliet, I know it wasn’t to hurt her though. But sometimes he would do things against her will, and I didn’t like that. Him being through so much–I don’t even wanna mention it, because it hurts too much to write (How’d you do it?)–is not an excuse for him to treat her like that and never will be. I must admit they were toxic, but made it work out in the end.
I love them so much, it’s indescribable.
I’m old enough (almost 20) to know what’s right and what’s wrong though it should be obvious, but for some girls they don’t see the wrong in their behavior. They were both wrong at some point and toxic with each other, but they definitely made it work and I love them for it. I love them for making me learn stuff, and I love them for being them. For developing through the story. LOVED when Jax cut his hair, though I love his long hair but wow I imagined him SO HOT.
Thank you for this book. By far my favorite out of the whole series–alongside Bully. Love all though.
Time to read “Aflame” ..... I’m not ready though...... My Jared and Tate heart is not ready..... Never will be.
Anyways for now, LOVE FALLING AWAY FOREVER ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
