I've always followed my dreams with ruthless determination. My life was going well. Success was at my fingertips. Until it wasn't. All it took was three seconds to send my world crashing down around me, ripping my dreams to shreds.

Then I meet her, with her large hazel eyes that slay me at first glance. And everything starts to make sense again. I try to keep my distance. To remind myself I am her mentor. That we can't be more, but every time I push away, I'm pulled deeper into her.
The line between student and teacher is blurring.

One kiss. One taste. They’re all it would take to cross the line.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story
Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2017
WOW, what a story, from beginning to end I was captured. Autumn Grey can really write and she proves it with Breaking Gravity. I had been looking forward to this from when I had finished reading book one in the Fall Back series, Fall Back Skyward and I loved how this book meshed with book one, running a parallel story about Elon.

Elon is Nor’s sister, a musician who plays the cello and is in her final year at University. She is a strong woman, despite her horrendous childhood and her abusive relationship with her former boyfriend. I loved the way she deals with everything, her tenacity and determination. She meets Nathanial Rowe, her lifelong hero and crush, who is now a Professor, teaching her class; their attraction is mutual and irresistible. What can I say about Nate…he is just gorgeous, in looks and personality; I fell in love with him myself. He is a renowned musician, who can no longer play following an accident, he has his own demons to face every day, but in Elon he sees light. They are drawn to each other, despite everything that should stop them.

I love the way the characters were written, so realistic, with all the quirks and terrors of real people, in a real world. I adored Bennet and Izzy, Nate’s sister and brother-in-law, they were so funny.
The story is full of hope, along with a good supply of angst, love and sex, it kept me wrapped up in Elon and Nate’s world. Breaking Gravity is such a good read, you really won’t want to put it down either. I can’t wait to read more form Autumn Grey, hopefully Elise’s story!

4.5 stars for Breaking Gravity

I knew I had to give this book a chance after reading Fall Back Skyward and loving it. I’m happy to say that Autumn Grey didn’t disappoint with her next instalment in the series. I was excited to read the story of Elon, who is Nor’s younger sister. It’s been a while since I've read a student/teacher romance so I was a bit hesitant but I’m glad I gave this book a chance.

I loved watching Nate and Elon heal after their traumatic pasts and learn to love again with each other. They were both mature characters that didn’t involve themselves in any unnecessary drama and really made sure they respected one another.

I love Autumn Grey’s writing and I love how she takes take telling her characters stories and never rushes anything, this is why I loved reading Breaking Gravity. The story never feels rushed and it really allows you to fully connect with the characters. Nate and Elon were so passionate that I could feel their love for each other jumping off the pages. There were some really HOT scenes as well as emotional scenes throughout this book. I fell in love with both of these characters separately as well as together.

I really love how this story not only told the story of Nate and Elon together but how it allowed the readers to see what they were struggling with separately. Autumn Grey really captivates you into her worlds and creates something beautiful. I can’t wait for the next instalment.

Where do I start with this story? I knew I would love it and OMG I was gripped straight away, I couldn't put it down. This author never ceases to amaze me.

Nathaniel Rowe is the hot new professor that everyone is drooling over, but he finds himself drawn to his new student Elon.

Elon can't believe it when she walks into her new music theory class and it's the hotty prof she's secretly been lusting after.

Sparks fly and hot, steamy flirting starts almost immediately, and I found myself hot under the collar on many occasions. The banter between them is light hearted and, both not wanting anything serious, they decide to play it cool. After all, the forbidden is so much better, or so they think....

I don't want to give too much of the story away or the outcome of this beautifully written book. So you'll have to read it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

I love this author. The words flow so easy when you read her work and it leaves you wanting more, even when the story ends.
Well done Autumn, you rock!!

Wow this book just has it all!!! Forbidden teacher/student romance, smokin' hot hero, angst and a whole lotta heat!!

"The man in front of me looks like an avenging angel, sent to Earth to punish sinners."

I loved Fall Back Skyward and Breaking Gravity was also such a fantastic read.

I loved how BG overlapped FBS so even though they can be read as standalones, please make sure you read FBS first as there are topics brought up in BG that won't make much sense if you haven't read book #1.

Even though I had some personal stuff going on while reading and didn't give this book the attention it deserved it still drew me in & I just craved to know what would transpire between Elon & Nate.

These two destroyed me at times. Their past has not been easy & while many will dwell on it for far too long these two manage to eventually find the beauty.

“My past was and is who I am. What I am. You can’t just forget the very thing that molded you and gave you strength to beat the odds. As much as the past shapes us, we can choose to let it define us or we can carve a different path and define it ourselves.”

The ending of this book was breathtakingly beautiful. I loved everything about it & it is so deserving of all the stars!!

"Where we go from here is something written in the stars. We just have to look for the signs."

Elon has had a rough upbringing and vowed to never be like her mother. For the most part she has accomplished that until Rick came into her life and turned it upside down. After her encounter with Rick she keeps her circle small and stays to herself. Living in her little bubble was going great until Professor Nate showed up. I really liked Elon because at first I thought she was going to be shy and quiet but she was funny and sassy. She knew how to push Nate’s buttons and rile him up. Yet she also knew when to turn it off and be what he needed. Her character was a breath of fresh air and I found her likeable and relatable.

Nate. Where do I begin with him? My heart broke for him for the pain and guilt he was going through. Nate is barely surviving and is putting on a good facade and trying to make it seem like “he's fine”. All of that comes to a halt when he becomes Elon’s Professor. He knows this is wrong but he can't help the way he feels. Will he take that risk? Will he play it safe and do the right thing?

This was a Student/Teacher taboo book done right! The sexual tension between Elon and Nate was off the charts hot!!! With that being said it wasn't just about sex with these two. They are both suffering in their own ways and can finally breathe and let their guard down with each other. They each wanted to become the person they knew they could be once they found each other. I loved the way they progressed individually and as a couple. Their banter was everything for me in this book. Elon always kept Nate on his toes and he didn't know what to expect from her and it was very amusing at times. Her nickname for him had me cracking up several times in this story. I loved how protective Nates was of Elon.He showed her how a real man is supposed to be and what it is to be truly loved and protected. Elon also showed Nate is was ok to be happy again.

“Fear cripples us, makes us weak. If you allow it to take over your life, it can easily incapacitate you. But if you stare at it in the eye, chances are you've already defeated that feeling. It's only through fear that we discover how strong we are. “

“If there is one thing life has taught me, it is that at times we experience pain and loss, we feel hopeless, faithless. But hidden beneath all the negatives, there's laughter and love and hope if you are patient enough.”

This was my first time reading anything by this author and her words and storytelling sucked me right in from the very beginning. This was a story that I couldn't stop reading and devoured in a few hours. Even though it's billed as a taboo story it touches on so many topics. In this book you will experience highs and lows, ups and downs. This is what life's all about. Bad things happen to good people all the time but it's how we deal with the situation that defines us. This book is also about finding your strength, courage to face tough situations and seeking closure to move on. Things won't always work out in your favor but you have to have strength to carry on. This book is one that will stay with me for a long time. I love a book that you can relate to and leaves you reeling with emotions. If I could give this book 10 stars I would. Well done Autumn Grey.

From the moment I've read the prologue of Breaking Gravity for the first time I instantly knew that this book will be a hell of an emotional rollercoaster. I think without exaggeration that it's one of the best prologues I've ever had the pleasure to read! It left me speechless, in tears and craving for more. I couldn't put this book down for the life of me! It had taken over my heart, my body, my soul.

I've enjoyed a lot of forbidden romance books in the past. They are one of my favorites. But this one stood out for me in a way that is not easily described! It was not only a student-teacher romance. It was so much more. It was about two people falling in love against all odds and healing each other by sharing their pain of the past. If Nate and Elon's story teached me anything, then it's how loving a person and being loved by her in return can safe you from the darkness and bring you into the light.

Elon Blake is twenty-one and a student at Rushmore School of Music. Growing up in a family with a violent and verbally abusive father made her shy and a little introverted. Her only way of letting go and expressing herself is by playing the cello. Always being the one following the rules and staying out of trouble, she is surprised to discover a different side of her the moment she meets him: Nathaniel Rowe, her new sexy and broody professor and a cello playing legend.

Nate was once a famous member of the Chicago Symphony but is no longer able to play the cello after a life altering tragedy. In order to put his past behind, he decides to move back to Florida,  accepting a teaching position at Rushmore where he meets Elon Blake, his beautiful student who will turn his life upside down.

Nate awakens new feelings inside Elon that equally excite and scare her. His advances make her feel desired, giving her the courage to explore her sassy, sexy side.

"Play for me. Enthrall me. Seduce me. Win me."

Nate feels a sense of calm whenever he is near Elon. She is making him feel like a man who is more than his useless arm and his ruined career.

"Elon is my ray of sunshine, punching holes through my armor with gentle blows I hardly saw coming until now."

Both are aware of the possible consequences if they give into the temptation and get caught. But no matter how hard they try to fight it, the line between student and teacher is blurring. 
It took one kiss, one taste to cross the line...and there was no going back.

I loved these two with all my heart. They were like a perfect symphony together. The chemistry between them was super hot!!! They didn't only communicate through words, but also through their body language and music. I had to constantly fan myself after reading their love scenes. They were so passionate and mind-blowing.

A huge compliment to Autumn Grey for writing such a beautiful and touching story about forbidden love and second chances that made me reflect on a lot of things. Nothing makes my reader heart more happy than devouring a story and leaving a piece of my heart with the characters! 5 stars.

Well I'm going to start by saying I'm kinda mad at myself right now for not reading this fabulous author before now & without question, I will be reading Fall Back Skyward as soon as physically possible. Breaking Gravity has literally swept me off my feet, bringing with it a whole host of emotions I wasn't expecting.

From the devastation of the Prologue to the pure unadulterated happiness of the Epilogue Autumn has brought together a story of hurt, anger & pain & spun it so masterfully into one of love, hope & forgiveness. With great depth, superb character development & the oozing sexual tension & chemistry only a forbidden raw desire can evoke, it was no surprise that once I started I wasn't putting it down.

Elon & Nathaniel are our stars of this show & wooooah was their connection powerful. From the very first moment their eyes locked their fate was sealed & their destiny - well it all went a bit crazy from then on in.

Nate is an utter heart breaker. His tragedy touched my soul & I wanted nothing more than to fix this man myself. Guilt can be ugly & this man has mastered wearing that cloak like a pro. The battle he fights daily was really overwhelming, yet I couldn't do anything but admire this broken man, for against the odds, he was still loving, caring & super protective of those he loved the most.

Elon..seeesh I adored her. I was drawn to her unassuming ways & smiled at just how much she didn't care about false people & fitting in with people's expectations. I loved that even though she had a tough time growing up, it shaped her to be the best version of herself, refusing to allow it to dictate any part of her future. She is feisty, sassy & so bloody determined, that watching her take what she wants with such grace & confidence was a beautiful thing.

Their journey was explosive. It may have started as lust, dripping in desire, but when their hearts collide with a passion & connection neither are prepared for, it sent my pulse racing & heart aching at what this beautiful couple had to battle & overcome. It was tense, emotional but stunning all in the same breath. Two broken imperfect people simply falling in love.

I loved how Autumn developed these characters & dual POV is my fav as it truly lets me get lost deep inside their hearts & minds. It showed me sides to them that made me love them even harder too - Vulnerability, fear & unwavering love. Beautiful. Perfect.

A 5 star stunner of a read from me.

Breaking Gravity is a student/teacher romance but not your typical one. After reading Fall Back Skyward I was in love with so many of the secondary characters, so I was pleased to learn that this book focused around Nor's younger sister Elon.

Elon is a reserved girl who gets lost in her love of music, a cellist who aspires to be as proficient as her inspiration Nathaniel Rowe. When she discovers that her new music Professor is the man himself Nate their chemistry smoulders until it ignites, into a scorching forbidden love affair.

Nate a man who has been through a devastating loss in his personal life and his career now finds himself teaching at the university that trained him. When he finds himself attracted to a student who is also his class assistant, Nate struggles to control his Alpha side that has to claim her.

Breaking Gravity has more of a sexual undertone to it than Book 1, that said the novel is so much more than Elon and Nate's physical relationship. It's the challenge of the psychological damage they have both suffered as well as navigating their feelings and the sacrifices this may mean to both of their careers. I loved that we got to see the characters we know and love in Elise, Cole, Nor and especially Nick. My heart breaks for Nick in this book, he has always been a boy now a man that loves with everything he has but he has spent his whole life loving the wrong girl. I really hope Autumn is going to give him the story he deserves.

I loved this book almost as much as Fall Back Skyward but in a different way. Breaking Gravity didn't have the emotional weight that Book 1 had; however it built it's character connections in different ways. Autumn Grey is absolutely a writer I need to read more from if this duet is an example of the standard of work all her books maintain.
