About This Book
Two people bound by grief, separated by the ghost of someone they both loved—that's the impossible space Sienna and Aiden occupy in Falling With You. As the third book in Carrie Ann Ryan's Knight Sisters series, it takes on the most emotionally charged story of the three: a woman determined not to become a stand-in for the dead, and a man who left everyone behind before he could be pushed away. The stakes here aren't just romantic—they're about whether healing is even possible when love and loss are this tangled together.
Ryan's strength has always been her ability to write grief as something messy and ongoing rather than a problem to be solved, and that instinct pays off fully here. The pacing moves with intention, giving weight to quiet scenes while keeping the tension taut. Readers who've followed the Knight Sisters from the beginning will find this a deeply satisfying conclusion, but newcomers will also feel the emotional pull without needing the backstory. Ryan writes vulnerability with specificity, and that keeps every page grounded in something real.
