About this ebook

My whole life changed in the blink of an eye.

I was supposed to start college on the Harkness Women’s hockey team. Now I’m showing up in a wheelchair instead.

There’s only one person who understands. Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley. He’s a hockey player too, but his leg is broken in two places.

We bond over broken elevators and video games. We’re just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together. All I know is that I’m falling. Hard.

But can Hartley love someone as broken as me? His deep brown eyes hold their own demons. While my troubles are visible for everyone to see, his are hidden deep inside…

If you love charming hockey player heroes and friends-to-lovers match-ups, download The Year We Fell Down today!

A lovely read! The sport she loves is out of reach... The boy she loves has someone else... What now? Absolutely amazing and breathtaking read! This couple are both battling darkness and their demons. I loved the hints we got about ot from the hero's point of view - it was interesting to try and put the pieces together. When it was finally and fully revealed, I was surprised but not as much as I thought I would be. I loved seeing how they fell in love with each other. Such a great feeling. I loved seeing he struggles and hardships they overcame. I loved the ending of this book. Full of friendship, attraction, disability, hockey, tragedy and love. Perfect for readers of contemporary romance/friends-to-lovers romances.

This was easy to read & sensitively written. Gave me a better understanding of what people deal with being in a wheelchair. The gimp humour was funny & connection between Adam & Corey real.

This is the first book in the Ivy Years series and the writing flows so well that you will find yourself hooked from the very first word. Corey and Hartley's relationship starts off as an easy friendship that then develops into something much deeper. The two of them have several obstacles to overcome and you can help but wish the two of these finally get together. This is a generally feel good book, with both deep emotion and good humour.
