I really enjoyed Gravity and getting to know more about Amos. I felt like the relationship between Cub and Gracie happened very quickly. At one point I kept waiting for THAT moment where I felt the chemistry between them jump off the page and pull me in and I didn't get that big moment I usually look for. This one was more of a slow burn romance. I still enjoyed this book overall and adore this series from HJ Bellus!

I have been a fan of HJ Bellus for a long time. This book was nothing like i have ever read from her before. I honestly didnt know what i was going to be reading when i started this book. It gripped me from the beginning. The relationship between Amos and Gracie was amazing. It was fresh and breathtaking. The strength that they both had dealing with him being in the services was amazing.They both were so strong that it made me want to crawl into the book and hug them. Tragic moments cause heartbreak to fall upon Gracie. Reading how she finds out and the aftermath had me in tears. I am talking alligator tears. Not fair pulling on the heart strings like that. Then Gracie starts over in the same town she loved Amos in. In walks Cub a police officer who has a lot more in common with Gracie than anyone could ever guess. That is where the suspense in this book comes to play. During this time there are tears, laughter and just a heartfelt warm story of love and new beginnings. But we all know that happiness does not last forever. Life takes a nasty turn once again for Gracie and Cub and yes once again the heartstrings are yanked and the tears are falling. I will tell you something you better have tissues and alcohol when you read this book because you will need it to get through this amazing story. I absolutely loved Cub. I loved that no matter what he was not giving up on Gracie and the love that he has found. He was not giving up on his girls. He shows true emotions that is not normal for a guy to show when something tragic happens. Most guys hold it in. Cub does not which i absolutely love. Gracie is a woman that anyone can easily look up too. She has proven that no matter what is thrown at her she comes out on the other side stronger than ever. This book is well written with amazing character chemistry with all the characters involved. But i do warn you it will tear at your heartstrings. I swear if you dont cry you dont have a heart. HJ Bellus blew me away with this one. The whole storyline was amazing and well written. Gripping from beginning to end you cant not read this whole book no matter how many times you may want to stop reading you have to grab ahold and finish to see just what happens. I guarantee you will find that you fall in love with this book. I will be ending this to my collection and enjoying it over and over again. I give this book 10 stars excellent story about living again no matter what is thrown at you and believing that things happen for a reason

I LOVED this book! There are some familiar story lines that you may have seen already in other books but this book makes them slightly different so that the book feels new and fresh. Overall, this book was enjoyable but bring your tissues if you plan on reading it. It will rip your heart out! I bawled through parts of it!

This book was a fantastic read. I love when I find a book that has every emotion for me to expel. You find love, friendships, sad endings and new beginnings all in this book. I didn’t read the first book and I don’t think I can now. I love Amos. Cub is pretty awesome too. Be prepared to fall in love with Juliette and Izzy!

Freaking HJ Bellus does it again! This is another one of those reads that will have you in a book hangover for days!
"Just relax . It's going to hurt just like any love story. There's always pain mixed in with the beautiful moments. It's what makes the cycle of love so amazing and priceless."
The tingles, the goosebumps, the chills and more! This is a love story that will have you saying WTF?!?! then become utterly speechless! This one hurt (more than one occasion) and is one ride that will never be forgotten. Be prepared for the ugly & sweet emotions to squeeze your heart into pieces. Just when I thought I knew (or was anticipating) what was going to happen the author screws up my mind even more. Nothing could have prepared me for all the heart filled moments and twists that the author throws at you.
"It's in moments like these I realize all the heartache was worth it. The pain and scars have sculpted the perfect story."
The journey of this story is best and worth the experience of being surprise. I will say to take this read and just feel and be one with the characters. It was deep and soul shattering to the point of no return.

Gravity is book 2 in the Royal Love series. I loved it every bit as much as the first book. I always love series that manage to truly intertwine the characters into each book vs just mentioning them. It was like visiting old friends. Gracie’s story is filled with angst if you are looking for that in a book. Her past life and new life collide in a unique way. There is a lot for Gracie and Cub to work through? Again, each character is well developed and I couldn’t help but care about them.
I can’t wait to read the third book in the series!

Phew! January feels like the month of firsts. I've picked up books by so many authors for the first time and HJ Bellus definitely belongs in this category.
First thing first, it is advised that you read Royal Atlas before picking up Gravity . Another thing... I am a rule breaker so I didn't do what was advised. LOL! But rest assured, if you do pick up Gravity before Royal Atlas , that is completely okay since this book can stand alone and I didn't find anything or any situation in the story that left me disconnected from certain parts of the book because I didn't read it in order.
HJ Bellus has written a story that is utterly heartbreaking and captivating at the same time. She literally ripped my heart out one page at a time and then managed to piece it back again but not without leaving the scars behind.
These lines perfectly describe what you are going to get. Gracie and Amos loved each other through high school and adulthood separated miles apart with Amos at war and Gracie at home, waiting. The conditions weren't ideal, but they made it work because their love was worth it. It was any other day for Gracie but that same old day became a day she wouldn't forget. The day where she was told that the love of her life, the father to their unborn child was killed in the line of duty.
I swear, from this point on the tears didn't stop for a minute.
And then she met Cub Stent.
Gracie on meeting Cub had no clue just how close they were to each other and they fall had and fast for each other. Through this journey, you see insta-love, see both, Cub and Gracie, fighting their demons. You see them fighting to reach their happy ever after. You see angst. Loads of angst and heartbreak and moments that just make you laugh out loud.
Do they get the Happy Ever After they deserve? Yes. But not without going through a lot of trials and tribulations and they manage to come out as winners having each other by their side.
There is not one character who didn't fit into the story. Every single character had a purpose in supporting not only Gracie but supporting her relationship with Cub as well.
Be ready to ugly cry and keep tissues in handy because you are going to need it.
4 Stars!

Your first love is nothing to joke about. It’s powerful, overwhelming, and something that haunts you forever. When your first love is severed, you lose a piece of your soul. Your world shatters.
