Jaxon Trent hasn't had a normal upbringing. We know from prior books what a mean and dangerous man his dad is. He was lucky to survive in the environment which surrounded him. Now, he's older, more mature and a wizard with a computer. He works for Fallon's dad doing things not so legal. The money is good and has improved his life, home and his cars. The one thing missing is K.C. Carter, the girl who wouldn't give him the time of day back in high school. 
 KC is back in town doing community service at her old high school as a tutor. She made mistakes and now she's paying for them. Her mother refuses to help her, but luckily Tate is there for her. 
 KC can't believe it when she realizes she is living next to Jax, the kid that always made her feel things she didn't want to feel. The kid is now gone and the only thing left is a man. A very desirable man. Avoiding him is going to be tougher that she thinks. 
 I love Penelope's Fall Away series and I was so happy I was able to get my hands on Jax early. 
 Jax and KC had to overcome some very awful situations growing up. To me KC was too forgiving to her mother. Jax's dad on the other hand is unforgivable. My heart was hurting while reading about Jax's childhood, despite having some knowledge of his ordeal from prior books. 
 Falling Away shows you how two very damaged individuals can complement each other and love can conquer all. Jax never forgot KC and when the time came to show her, he certainly did. 
 KC was a surprise to me. She was not my favorite character in prior books but she won me over. I was rooting for them to make it and when she gave herself to him, she was all in. 
 "Only. Ever. You. Jaxon Trent." 
 Now I'm impatiently waiting on Tate's novella.
