4  starsAfter reading the synopsis of Fallen from Grace, I was very much intrigued as it described what sounded to me like not only a love story, but also a book which would possibly have some suspense and betrayal.  With the majority of my reading being strictly stories of love, I felt drawn to this book just looking for something with a little more, and Fallen from Grace definitely was "more."On the surface, Judas Woods appears to be a man who has everything.  Working as an attorney in New York and living the life of a playboy and womanizer, he has it all.  But he loathes the life he is living.  Because of a tragedy from the past, he remains affected forever left with a father who continues to blame him, leaving Judas with no alternative but to continue to do his bidding in order to remain in the lifestyle he is living.  But Judas has had enough and is ready to abandon everything to be free to live the life he chooses.  That is until he sees Grace Winters.  With one look at her angelic face and gazing into her eyes, she immediately captures his soul.  But Judas knows he'll never be good enough for Grace.  With secrets, lies and mistakes he has made, how could he ever earn and keep her love.Grace Winters is a beautiful and intelligent woman and psychologist living in New York.  Seemingly Grace has everything herself.  But she is no stranger to tragedy.  Being left with a feeling of guilt, she pushes herself through life graduating Maude Cum Laude and attaining her doctorate by the age of twenty-five.  But her life is heading down a path which she begins to feel is not the one she wishes to take.  That is until the night she meets Judas, and Grace begins to feel something she has never felt before, not even with her fiancé.  Feeling an unmistakable attraction and pull to her heart, one which she has never experienced, ultimately leads them both to a night of passion and love.  But now she is faced with the dilemma of making the choice of either doing what she feels her parents prefer or what Grace's heart needs.  But Grace soon discovers there is more to her fiancé than she ever knew which leaves her with a feeling that there are things he is hiding.  Things which could stand in her way of finding happiness with the one man who fills her with a love and passion she may never be able to have.I loved this book.  I loved the connection between each character and after reading the last page I exhaled with a sigh.  The special link between the souls of Judas and Grace were magical (and steamy) as they continued to face uncertainty and danger.  Though left feeling vulnerable by unforeseen occurrences, neither of them ever lost the love they felt for each other, the intense love that melded their hearts together, even when faced with the ultimate possibility of losing each other.  Fallen from Grace tells not only a beautiful love story of the linking of two hearts which were meant to be together, but also includes mystery and intrigue which kept me enthralled as I turned page after page and at some points sitting on the edge of my seat.  This is the first book I have read from Leigh Songstad and I must say, I really like her writing style and look forward to more in the future.
