Four months after Sky learns Dylan’s devastating secret, she’s trying to piece her life back together. Without an explanation from Dylan, Sky has no choice but to try and forget him.
Dragged back into the life he ran from, Dylan continues to spiral downwards as he copes with his fame the only way he knows how. Shattered by the revelation Sky knows his darker past, he forces himself to return to England and explain.
Sky and Dylan reconnect, attempting to build on the shaky foundations of their summer. But the outside world continues to conspire against them.
Taking place in the epicentre of the Blue Phoenix world, Sky and Dylan’s story continues amongst the chaos surrounding the band and its members.

"Sky is the song I never knew I could write, and her love is the music I always wanted to hear."
Falling Sky is their
journey towards their second chance and happy ever after. Just like how fast
rock star Dylan Morgan invaded her life, that is how fast he too disappeared,
and broke her heart into pieces. It was the secret from his past that drove
them apart.
They both tried to move
on, cope in different ways, but to no avail. Still thoughts of each other would
linger, and pain would once again be felt. All Sky wanted was an explanation
from Dylan, perhaps a denial that he didn’t do what he was accused of. I don’t
know what the heck is wrong with him that he fled and acted like a coward,
broken and all when all he has to do was to sit with Sky and talk to her. Argh.
Pretty much frustrating.
I was wondering if there
is any truth to the accusation and I was dying to know what really happened
during those times. Something wasn’t right here, and I needed to find out. Yep,
so I stayed awake until I finally got the truth, but after I had it, there was
another surprise waiting for me in the next pages.
As Sky tries to move on,
Dylan spiraled downwards. Good thing he has friends who cared for him, and told
him to finally go get his girl and explain his side of the story. He returns to
England, and the story of their road to second chance began.
They had a shaky
foundation, they haven’t known each other for that long, and trust has already
been an issue for the both of them. But they were willing to work things out,
settle their individual differences, and even the differences of their world,
make a compromise, and live happily ever after. Ah, if only it was that simple.
The road they took wasn’t that easy. They had a lot of bumps, detours, and flat
tires, and I was almost worried I had to wait for another book before they can
reach their destination.
The ending was so worth it
after all that they have been through, the demons and the circumstances they
have to fight against before they can have the one thing they both deserve –
their HEA. It was a great read, so worth the wait, I enjoyed their journey –
all their pains, the aches, the romance and the triumphs. I was happy for the
band, for the decision they made at the end of the novel. I guess it was the
right decision at this time. I can’t wait to read Liam’s story. He left the
ending of this book with a bang, and I am so excited to read his HEA too!

The snow drifts down heavier than recently and by the
time we get to my place, the dark clouds bring the winter’s night on early.
Dylan parks behind my snow-covered car.
“If we’re going back to the start, I should really
rear-end that car?” He looks at me sideways with a grin.
I’m busy calculating my next move and trying to
anticipate his because he’s turned the engine off. The snow settles on the
windscreen.
“White Christmas, do you think?” I ask.
“A few days to go yet but maybe.”
“I’d better get inside before…”
“Before what?” He turns in the seat and I stiffen. If
I kiss Dylan, that’s it. Over. I’m lost again.
“Before the roads get bad for you,” I say the words
but I’m unaware of anything but Dylan, the leather scent of his jacket is
different to the summer Dylan, a new flavour mingling with the familiar.
“I’ll be okay,” he says, his gaze on my mouth.
I lick my dry lips and his pupils dilate, even without
his hands on me, Dylan’s stirring arousal. He reaches out a hand, pushing a
strand of hair behind my ear the way he always used to, his fingertips grazing
my cheek with heat. Hesitantly, he moves his face closer, reminding me of the
first time he kissed me. I tense as his warm breath strokes my face, dragged
into the charged moment before his lips touch mine.
Dylan softly presses his mouth to mine. Then waits. I
push my lips to his and our mouths move together, the hesitant kiss of those
just met, not of reuniting lovers. I fall into space, past the stars into his
universe, pulled to the man who has never let me go. The world outside of the
heating space of the car doesn't exist, our bubble transplanted to here and
now. I grip the growing curls of his hair and hold his neck and he leans across
the middle of the car, pulls me close and lets go of his gentleness. Dylan
holds both of my cheeks, the way he did on the beach in the rain, and kisses me
like a drowning man desperate for air only I can give him.
My winter coat and his jacket prevent complete
closeness and I fight the urge to slip my hands inside his jacket and feel his
warmth and strength. If I do that, I know he’ll reciprocate and in a car, in
the street, isn’t the right place to start.
Slowly, Dylan unwinds my fingers from his neck and
shifts his head away. We breathe in sync, rapidly, reflecting the desire to
reunite that we both have. But not now, not yet.
“I’ve missed you, Sky,” he whispers, cupping my cheek.
“Life lost a lot of colour without you,” I say. “And
not just the tattoos.”
“Will you see me again?”
“Yes.” I softly brush his lips and draw away. Dylan’s
lips part and I place a finger on them. “But I’m not ready for the intensity
again this soon.”
“I get that.”
“Which is why I’m going inside alone.”
“Unfortunately, I thought you’d say that.” He kisses
my forehead and sits back.
As I open the car door, Dylan catches my hand.
“Tomorrow?”
There’s a hint of the old Dylan, reaching out to the
old Sky he’s just resurrected. “It’s always tomorrow with you, isn’t it?” I
ask, echoing the words from the summer.
