Monica Alexander has quickly become one of my favorite writers and I have never been disappointed with any of her books. Gravity Happens is the sequel to Forcing Gravity and it is just as good, if not better, than the first one and I thought that one was great.Logan and Jase are solid - they are together, they are happy and they are determined that nothing will come between them again, not after struggling through misunderstandings and separations that almost destroyed their relationship for good. Logan struggles to keep her trust issues on a short leash and Jase does everything he can to soothe her fears but her insecurities and her insatiable curiosity have her constantly checking out celebrity gossip magazines and listening to the cryptic comments and innuendo voiced by jealous ex-girlfriend, Chloe and the paparazzi. When Jase has to go on location for his next film and his leading lady happens to be Chloe, both Jase and Logan wait with baited breath for the other shoe to drop...and drop it does.Ethan has finally accepted that Logan is in love with Jase but he doesn't have to like it.  He hates the guy but he sees how happy he makes Logan so he tells himself to move on but it isn't easy to dish his feelings for her, not even when he meets Nora, who just happens to be Jase Brady's little sister. Just as things start to turn around for him and his feelings for Nora grow, the proverbial s*** hits the fan for Logan and Jase and chaos ensues for everyone. Loyalties are tested, friendships are crushed and relationships are pushed to the brink.One of the reasons I like reading this author so much is for her ability to build and weave relationships that are simplistic and yet at the same time have tremendous depth and take on a life of their own. Her characters in this book are flawed but feisty, strong and incredibly wilful and the story flows smoothly around their angst and drama. I really liked this book and I can easily recommend it to others. Verified Amazon Purchase on Amazon.ca.
