Struggling to put her life back together after a tragic mountaineering accident kills her college sweetheart, twenty-one-year-old Holly Treadwell is trying to set aside her grief, forge ahead in school, and find herself again.
When Carter Hansen, a guy who brings back horrible memories from the night of the accident, finds his way back into her life, Holly’s unsure if she should let him in. He terrifies her in more ways than one and invokes feelings in her that she thought were buried forever. Regardless of her fears, she knows she must face him in order for her heart to heal.
Everyone tells Carter that what happened on the mountain that night was just a terrible accident, but even then, he can’t help but carry around the guilt and is unable to forgive himself. He’s drawn to Holly and being near her helps ease his conscience and gives him the release he needs.
As Holly and Carter’s relationship grows, they begin to realize that the more time they spend with one another, the more their wounds begin to heal, her grief and his guilt. But when Holly learns the details about the night of the accident, what everyone has been keeping from her, it will rip open old wounds and tear apart what they’ve both worked so hard to overcome…
Holly is incomplete after having lost Adam. Since Adam's death, helping during a mountain rescue, Holly has ceased living, struggling through medial tasks of everyday life. How can you live, when it feels as though you've died?
Carter was part of the rescue group on the mountain that night, when the weather turned and resulted in Adam's death. He hadn't met Holly before that night at the hospital, but after delivering the tragic news, he still remembers how she felt while he was holding her, while she fell apart.
Holly doesn't blame Carter, but the sight of him brings the painful memories of that night, flooding back. Through fate, Holly overcomes her fears and the two become friends. Carter brings brightness to her days, slowly lessening the pain with his smile. He never expected to fall for the devastated girl he held while she cried, the girl that has brought meaning into his life, and has helped him to live again.
As their friendship strays into something so much more, Carter has a confession to make, that he's tortured himself over, but will Holly blame him too?
The heart wants, what the heart wants.
Simply lovely. Fall From Love was a breath of fresh air. Realistic characters, heartbreaking story lines that deliver the ultimate happy ending. The storyline was emotional and Holly's character in her grief, her thoughts and healing were realistic, raw and sadly beautiful. You'll form an instant connection with the heartbroken protagonist.
Beautifully written and adored it. It was simplistic, yet emotional. Its simply an emotional story of two collage students helping one another heal through friendship, and falling in love in the process.
