Review:I fell in love with Gravity. It was truly a love story in the making. JoEllen came from poor and worked ten times as hard to make sure that she never would be again and that she could care for her mother. She graduated early got a job in a bar where the charming Holden first saw her. One night was all it took for JoEllen to know she would never be with Holden after what he did. However he wasn't taking no for an answer and after tragedy hit Jo it was Holden who was there to be by her side. This is a love story that started with a look, went to friendship, and then showed what it is to fall in love. I rate this 5 stars it was an easy read and I read it withing 6 hours you all will love it.
Life should keep you grounded…it should never keep you down.

A funny prickle on the back of Jo’s neck a little after happy hour made her turn and she met Holden’s eyes in his regular booth. Tina gave her a hip bump on the way by.
“Girl, you get him every night. You’re the only one he wants waitin’ on him.”
“I just bet.” With a sigh, Jo headed his direction. “Holden, you can’t ask for me.”
“You’re the only one I want, Jo. I’d like a burger, medium with whatever comes on it, fries, and half a dozen wings. Bud longneck.”
“You’re the only one I want, Jo. I’d like a burger, medium with whatever comes on it, fries, and half a dozen wings. Bud longneck.”
“Got it. You know, you need to stop eating all this fried crap. It isn’t good for your heart. How old are you anyway?” She propped one hand on her hip as she waited.
He gave her an exaggerated wince. “Wow…that stung so much more than I thought it would. I’m thirty-three. Far too old for you, I realize.”
“Not if you hadn’t fucked Donna first.” This time his wince was real. “Honestly, I don’t care about age. I’m just thinking you’re huge…your heart must have to work double time to get the blood from your head to your toes. Eat a salad. They make a great barbeque chicken salad. I’ll even have them put double chicken on it for you.”
“Alright.”
She smiled. “Doing what I suggest isn’t getting you laid, Holden. We should be clear.”
Holden leaned on the table. “I know. I should be clear that I’m going to be here a lot until you agree to go out with me.” Laughing as she turned to put in his order, she thought he’d get tired of his little game very quickly.
She drastically underestimated his commitment.
Over the next six months, she saw him the three nights she worked every week.
He’d come in just after happy hour and stay until close, walking her home when he realized she never drove her truck to the bar.

At her door, she would turn to him. “It’s not going to work. Go find a girl who’ll appreciate all this attention, Holden.”
“Nope…I’m not giving up.”
“Goodnight then.”
“Goodnight, Jo.”
