The Trouble With Gravity is another ground shaking addition to KK Allen's Gravity series. Kai and Sebastian sucked me in from the first word and kept me up way past my bedtime several times. I'm struggling to even find the words to express how much I loved this story! It's just WOW! The emotions, the dancing, the heart. It all bleeds off the pages in an honest and real way. This was the perfect book to start my 2020 reading off with!

Nothing better than a bad boy who meets his match. Sebastian is every woman's dream. Tall,dark,handsome,Australian accent,a cockiness that is playful and confident,not conceited. He is an artist,one who takes his work and music very seriously,it is part of him. This story, his show is ingrained in him, it is him. He hires Kai as the practically falling for her. She is a strong,confident woman,but with a traumatic childhood. She has to fight her heart and her biggest fear,but she has Sebastian there every step of the way.

What is wrong with this book? I love KK Allen Gravity series. Love them, except The Trouble with Gravity. Where is the spark? Where is the heat? Where is the explosive chemistry? I am sad to say Trouble with Gravity is a trouble. Not very bad, but it does not manage to keep up with the predecessor.
The chemistry between Kai and Sebastian is guarded. I feel like two of them have no deeper, vulnerable connection. Just 2 people, who just happened to work together and hook up. Even their emotional baggage is.. well... not big a deal. The twist is so immature and predictable. There is also none of that forbidden romance in it.
The whole experience is OK read, nothing capture my heart.

This book was just amazing. I fell in love with the characters! Kk weaves a great story that pulls you in and traps in with the characters. This one was a Keep you up past mid night just so you can read one more chapter draw. They have previous character from the series pop in which is so awesome. Love the follow up with that. I so enjoyed this one.

This book is perfect! This book is everything! I’m totally claiming Sebastian as mine!
The Trouble With Gravity, quickly became one of my favorite reads of 2019! It’s no secret that I fall hook, line, and sinker for every book by this author but this one just might be my new favorite. The journey of this story takes you on an incredible ride filled with lessons of facing fears, being honest with yourself and others, and loving hard even when you’re scared.
This author’s writing is so beautiful. She never ceases to amaze me with her descriptions and the emotions that jump right off the page and directly into my heart.
Kai is one of the strongest heroines I’ve read about. She faced an unthinkable trauma as a child and grows brave enough to face her worst fears in order to help her dreams come true in her career. Sebastian can be such a jerk sometimes but he redeems himself and becomes one of my top book boyfriends of the year, possibly of all time.
Kai and Sebastian both have trauma in their pasts and watching them grow and be strong for each other was perfect. They were able to help each other face their fears and heal the wounds from the past that ran deep in their souls. Their relationship progressed perfectly, with all the right timing.
There is not a single thing I didn’t enjoy about this book. From the very beginning until the end, I was entranced by Kai and Sebastian’s journey.
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

The Trouble with Gravity was a really great read! I haven't read any of the other books in the series so I was intrigued to see what the world K. K. Allen created would be like! I do love a good enemies-to-lovers romances, so I had high hopes and it certainly did not disappoint!!
I was pulled in from the start of Kai and Sebastian's story, where after their first meeting have so much hostility towards one another, but there was definitely an underlying attraction there which you knew would turn explode once they let their guards down. Kai is a dancer and Sebastian is the pianist and writer of the music in a hit Broadway Show, Angst and Grace. Due to reasons revealed throughout the book, Sebastian is known as the bad boy of Broadway for his anger issues and general arrogance, and his show's stint on Broadway was cut short.
They have both got emotional baggage, Sebastian's from being hurt by a loved one deeply in the past so he keeps everyone at arms length and Kai from the death of her father at a young age. Once they begin to realise they have more in common and need each other more than they think, a real relationship begins to blossom from their almost enemies-to-lovers, boss-employee realtionship. I loved reading about them both supporting one another about their fears. It creates more sparks between them, their relationship is certainly wild like the sea in a storm. I think my favourite parts were Sebastian's sweetness and how he could charm Kai, because it showed he had a caring side underneath his tough shell. Although, they had some pretty steamy moments too!
Without giving too much of the plot away, I was so happy when they finally got together, because I was getting quite frustrated with their back and forth, it was getting exhausting! But having said that, I really enjoyed The Trouble with Gravity and would absolutely recommend!

OMGEEE! I did not think I could love this series any more, then K.K. Allen creates this piece of brilliance. The Trouble with Gravity captivated me from start to finish with its fantastic writing and its well developed storyline. I fell in love with this story. This series is so unlike anything I've ever read and I for one can’t get enough of it. Each new couple steals my heart and I'm always immersed in their stories, together in this fantastic dance world. I’d be more than happy if K. K. Allen could keep writing in this magnificent dance world forever.
I honestly LOVED Kai and Sebastian so hard. Their story was unique, it was refreshing and most of all it was beautiful. Although their physical connection sizzled, it was their mental connection that blew me away. They were both dealing with some old scars that had never healed, but together they were able to help each other heal and move forward. I loved that it didn't happen quickly, but that it spanned the course of this story. They were just wonderful together and the emotion in this story was incredible. And it was so great to be reunited with the past couples and seeing them so happy together still.
As ever, the interactive links to dance videos only added essence and enhanced my enjoyment of this read. I felt I was living through the performances and it help me get into the vibe of the story.
K.K. Allen proves once again her talent with words and weaving a story that touches and resonates with her readers. The Trouble with Gravity was a beautiful, poignant read and I could not recommend it enough.
