When Fall Breaks is the first book in the Seasons of Jefferson series by Julie Solano and Tracy Justice. It is an emotional Young adult story.
What happens when a gifted, intelligent, small town girl falls for a handsome rodeo cowboy who proceeds to flip her life upside down? Well we get to find out in this book when Kaitlyn Woodley meets Pistol Black… and what a tale it is. I was wrung out by the end of this book. I had so many emotions flowing through me over the course of the story, my heart and head hurt. Pistol earned a place for himself on my list of despicable characters- I hated him with a passion. And I think that’s exactly what the author’s intended. Evoking such strong emotion from your readers is a sign of a great author(s). It gave me a book hangover, which took me a few days to get over. I kept thinking about the story long after I’d finished.
I will definitely read the next collaboration by these two authors, as well as any of their individual works.

Thank you, Ms. Solano and Ms. Justice!

When Fall Breaks (Seasons of Jefferson Book 1)

By Julie Solano & Tracy Justice

5 Stars

As soon as I grabbed this book I just knew I was going to love it, the cover is awesome and I've recently fallen in love with YA novels and I must say this one sits right at the top.

Once I began reading I could not put it down, the only reason I wasn't upset that I was reading it so fast was because I knew that I have the next 2 books ready to roll, and oh my do I need the next book.

This story centers pretty much all around Kaitlyn, a senior in high school, star of the swim team and one of those girls you'd just want to be friends with. She has an amazing couple of best friends Brody and Jenna, a supportive loving family and a very protective brother who is also best friends with Brody who they have known for years and their families are close.

I loved the storyline and the way it moved along allowing me to get to know these characters and become emotionally invested in them. The unexpected twists and turns that kept popping up shocked me each time, and were written with the greatest of care. These authors took something on in this book that probably happens in one way or the other every day in our schools. I applaud how the whole story was handled and I'm going crazy now needing to get started on Book 2.

I highly recommend this book and just know that I will be rereading these in the future.

When Fall Break (Seasons Of Jefferson book 1) by JT Authors
5 stars


Wow, I can honestly say I was not expecting to be sucked right into this book they way I was. I couldnt put it down!
Kaitlyn and her twin brother Caden, share a best friend, Brody. He's their neighbor and has been around since they were very little. Of course Brody is a little closer to Caden being as they're both boys, and play football together, but as they grow up, Brody starts to feel more than friendly feelings towards Kaitlyn and Kaitlyn is the same, but she has a boyfriend.
Kaitlyn is a smartmouthed, quick witted teenage girl who also is pretty shy and a people pleaser. So when things start to not be ok with her boyfriend, Pistol, she blames herself. Until one horrific night.

I rooted for Brody and Kaitlyn from the beginning, and as I got to the end of the story, my heart was pounding and breaking and then i couldn't turn anymore pages, ot was over. I need to jump to book 2 as fast as possible! Great writing from both authors on this one!

When Fall Breaks is book one in the Seasons of Jefferson series by JT Authors. What a pleasant and refreshing surprise this story was. It was not what I expected at all. It was so much more. There was a perfect balance of intrigue, drama, romance and misadventure. A collection of contrasting events that combined the evolution into adulthood flawlessly.

Now to the characters. Loved the main two. Loved other characters not so much. Brody made me laugh, and add in Kaitlyn, and my prayers were answered. The closeness that was always present between Brody and Kaitlyn just grew as wholeheartedly as their attraction. They went through a lot together, but proved that their love could weather the storm.

When Fall Breaks was a delightfully entertaining read and I cannot wait for more. 5 stars.
