Falls From Grace: Grace Notes, Book One Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 1,292 ratings

Savannah Grace is a huge star in Nashville. At least, she was. Her hit band Twice Struck topped the country music charts for almost a decade until her high profile marriage to her bandmate and co-writer publicly exploded. Now she’s fading from the spotlight and her own life, just trying to keep her head above water.

Brynn Marshall is a little lost. Dropping out of med school made her the black sheep of the family and now she’s floating around LA trying to find a sense of purpose. When she falls down on her luck, her best friend - indie musician Noah Lyman - refuses to let her wallow. After all, he’s just got his big break: co-writing with a megastar!

When Savannah enlists Noah to help her break out of country music and make a name for herself for once and for all, what better way to do it than to spend the Winter in her secluded vacation home in the woods of Vermont? And what better way for Noah to help out a friend than to pretend he’s bringing along his wife?

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Book one in the Grace Notes trilogy is a secret crush, forced proximity, friends to lovers, slow burn sapphic romance

    It's taken me a minute to review this book b/c life got busy but this book stuck with me. This is an incredible debut novel from Ruby Landers. I'm honestly in awe that this is a debut. When I first read the synopsis about a lesbian "fake marriage" to her male bestie, I wasn't really sure I was in the mood for that kind of story but I'm oh so glad that I jumped in. This book made me laugh, made me cry, and made me so frustrated I was ready to throw things across the room. I'm so lucky I had a friend reading this at the same time (@Lez_be_readin_ya - check out her review too) because I NEEDED someone to talk to about this book. Landers had so many feelings bubbling up out of my chest that I couldn't function, literally, for a whole day while I devoured this book. This is an ANGSTY SLOW BURN NOVEL. When I say slow burn, bundle up kids, because we're watching this fire start from the woodchopping stage all the way through to the blaze of this sapphic fire. It's so freaking good.

    Savannah and Brynn are such incredible characters. Their magnetic pull to each other is so incredibly strong. There's something about celebrity romances for me right now - I'm all in. I can't seem to get enough of the behind-the-scenes storylines. Landers did an amazing job with everything from the songwriting sessions to the recordings to the tour - it felt so authentic every step of the way.
    I adored how Brynn was with Savannah's son. He was such a light for Savannah and a wonderful connection between the two MC's.

    For me, this book was a romance, yes, but it was also about healing. Healing childhood traumas and healing wounds from a relationship that was nothing like we thought it was. I really valued the healing journey that each of these characters took together and apart. Landers took an interesting approach to boundaries and respect that you don't often see in the genre and romance. She took a chance and it absolutely paid off, in my opinion. It was a refreshing take on space and forgiveness that was heartwrenching to read but also felt very necessary and healthy.

    I'm beyond ready for the next two installments of the Grace Notes. This book was just absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves a slowburn romance novel. This was such a refreshing unique read for me.

    First, this is a slow burn and I’m not one to read slow burn stories, however, do not let the deter you, otherwise you’ll miss out on one of the best books of your life!

    It’s so awesome that this book is a debut! Exquisite writing! This story is funny & sexy, and sweet & smart! Kudos to the new author!
    Bravo!👏👏👏

    So, about the book….we have a recently divorced, single, new mama, beautiful country music star, think Taylor swift fame, Savannah Grace who is having some trust issues because of her cheating rat b*stard, country music star ex-husband. The other mc is a medical school drop out , gorgeous lifeguard, and funny girl, Brynn Marshall! Think “Baywatch Babes!” Let’s just say these two set off the explosives with their chemistry! 🔥🥵

    Lots of challenges and bumps in the road, but let’s see how Brynn and navigate them or not! 🎢

    Mostly it’s a love story, sometimes it felt like a fairytale ❄️, you may get choked up like I did, but mostly I laughed and swooned! 😍

    A must mention of Noah, Brynn’s musician BFF (and fake husband 🫢) and Tucker, Savannah’s toddler! Awesome secondary characters with lots of camaraderie! Amazing story, I cannot say enough about it!

    Read it!!

    🩷Loved the “Pretty Woman” reference! 🙌

    I enjoyed this read a great deal. I wasn’t sure it would hold my interest initially because I’m not a county music fan. Yet, the author has a relevant and contemporary style. A standout is the portrayal of bipoc characters and queer characters that is honest and respectful. The storyline is captivating and thoughtful. The author also knows how to insert a child into a storyline without bogging down the romance aspect. It is an artful delineation that is executed well here. The use of secondary characters in a way that is not disruptive to the primary characters and plot is difficult to achieve, but not for this author in this book. Angst for angst sake is so cringe, just stop already those who do it. A lesson could be learned from this author because honestly, my initial thought was ‘oh no here we go.’ The lie was deceivingly simple, surely an entire plot cannot be built around it I thought. I was wrong. The artful way the characters are drawn together, grow together and ultimately merged magnified that simple lie and when the blow up came, it made all the sense in the world. Bravo! I look forward to the next book. Oh, I deducted a star simply because I prefer spice and it’s all the way at the end of the book and not enough for two characters that had such chemistry to me.

    Beautifully written! Interesting plot. One mistake blows up after so much time and each characters perspective is so different.

    There’s delicious tension, a smidgeon of spiciness before everything explodes. And then a slow burn until we can get a resolution! Definitely angsty towards the end but beautiful in its build up. The main characters are fun, intriguing, beautiful, and just plain stupid sometimes.

    It makes for good story telling!

    Almost gave 4 star rating because there were a couple of grammatical errors - but honestly, there’s usually one or two in every book; even for a book with several beta readers, reviewers, etc.

    Really enjoyed the inclusion of a young child. It’s always fun to hear kids say crazy things in books because that’s real life too. I will probably reread this book because it is quite enjoyable. And read more Ruby Landers books too.

    Read cover to cover! It’s worth it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brynn & Savannah
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2024
    I’ve read quite a few sapphic romance novels set in and around the world of music, a favourite storyline of mine, & I must say that ‘Falls From Grace’ is right up there with the very best, not quite reaching number one, but really close. A very well written, very enjoyable story featuring wonderfully real MCs. It is a complex story that I’ve found hard to explain in a review, but just to say it does involve a unique ‘fake marriage’ trope that causes lots of confused feelings & heartbreak along the way. The author goes into great detail about the whole creative process involved in making music, from songwriting, recording, touring, record deals, music press reviews & all these aspects are essential to the storyline and I think that’s what helps give this book its authenticity. The romantic side of the story is beautifully done, even the 3rd act breakup is totally believable & essential to the drama, making this a slow burn worth waiting for when things get spicier towards the end. The first in a trilogy of novels, I can highly recommend this book & look forward to continuing the series and hopefully learning more about what happens next to Brynn & Savannah.
