All Falls Down is a love story about two very different people.
Savannah—the abused, scared woman who so desperately longs to belong somewhere, yet has never felt like she was good enough.
Jared—the strong , confident man who wants to show her she belongs with him—no matter what they have to overcome.
There are obstacles everywhere they turn. People, situations, unforeseen dangers keep threatening the fleeting happiness Savannah is too scared to ...more

This amazing, and emotional, story. It's one that, in part, is lived every day by millions of women. Abuse, whether physical or emotional, has long lasting scars that the victim will live with for the rest of their life. The emotional scars are harder to understand, but I believe Ayden did a great job of showing what someone that's gotten out of an abusive relationship would act like, feel like. Though it's never mentioned by name, it's obvious that Savannah suffers from PTSD, not only from her

This was a really entertaining, thought provoking read. I have never read anything that so accurately depicts the emotional effects of abuse.
Savannah has been trapped in a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship for two years, too terrified and ashamed to reach out to anyone else for help. It takes being dumped in an Italian hospital with a life-threatening injury, surrounded by strangers who don't speak her language, before she is finally able to break away from her abuser. She returns ...more

From the very first page, I was captivated while holding back tears. I just had to know why Savannah entire world shattered into a million pieces.
This story had me sniffling like a baby, laughing out loud and saying “You go Girl,” and signing from the sweet romance. Author Ayden K. Morgen won my heart over with this book. It is filled with mystery, love, hurt, and acceptance. I absolutely loved the mystery that Ayden wove into this story as she let Jared and Savannah’s story unfold. She ...more

All Falls Down had me from the prologue, although I have to admit the story went in a very different direction from where I expecting. It's a complicated, forbidden love story featuring some traumatic and turbulent scenes, alongside some really sweet and romantic ones.
Savannah is a scared young woman who is trying to move on from a horrible past. She's looking for a way to live with past mistakes and rejoin her family Lexi, Kit and Madeline. Be warned her story is traumatic and may contain ...more

Savannah has been through a lot in life, and it gets worse when she walks in on her piece-of-scum abusive boyfriend and her supposed best friend together. Losing him may be no true loss, but it’s kind of a principle thing, isn’t it? So, with nowhere else to go she heads back to one of the only homes she’s ever known. Things aren’t actually the greatest there either though, and with a ...more

"I'm a mess. I'm weak. I'm selfish. Parts of me are broken beyond repair." ―Savannah Martin
"Beautiful girl," he says. "Don't you know I'd do just about anything to make you happy for the rest of your life? To take care of you and love you like you deserve?" ―Jared Corbit
Damn! Where do I start. I enjoyed this book, kept me on the edge of my seat and took me on one emotional roller coaster from the beginning to end. This was a very complicating storyline. Betrayal, heartbreak, mystery, ...more

Throughout the story Savannah battles with guilt, her own self worth and longs for a place where she belongs.

I'm going to eat some lunch and see if my anger changes and actually start the book from the beginning. I get pissed at everything when I'm hungry.
Love the story. It was an easy read with likable characters.

This is a very intense and emotional book that deals with domestic abuse, low self-esteem and finding true love. The prologue kind of confused me, but it made sense later in the book. This story is about Savannah, who is in an abusive relationship and winds up leaving it to return to the only home and family she has ever known. Only Savannah doesn't believe that she really belongs there either. In trying to help take care of the sisters and recovering from her abuse, Savannah winds up falling

Love this story with all the emotions tied to it. Grief, heartbreak, abuse, loneliness, hope, family, secrets, friendship and love.

~~~~~~~~~~Amanda's Review~~~~~~~~~~
A breathtaking read that will leave you with wanting more. I can't seem to form the words for this read. It is heartbreaking, funny, and suspenseful. Imagine yourself in an abusive relationship that at first you didn't realize was abusive. It's not the physically abusive but emotional and psychological. You're being kept from everyone you love and loves you, you're told you're not worth it, you're told they don't love you. The list goes on, but ...more

Whew. Coming from a background that involved an abusive counter part, once upon a time, I have to say, Ms Morgen nailed Savannah's struggle to come out of it a new (stronger) person. So well done. I was inside her head at all times, feeling that insecurity that she felt and watching it grow into confidence and courage to face her fears.

4.5 stars. A stunningly beautiful romance that leaves you breathless as it fast paced storyline thrills you. my only criticism would be too much sex. i found myself skipping the sex because there simply was too much.

Liked. This was a good story. I liked the journey of Savannah and how she grew. I can't wait to read the next one.
Good book but the main character really annoyed me with her self-esteem issues. I would read more by the author though.
Full of purple prose. Badly written angst seems to be the main plot element.

“You undo me, Savannah. Every time I look at you, I feel like a teenager. I can't stop thinking about you, or wanting to touch you. I've never wanted to kiss someone so badly or so often. It's overwhelming to be so thoroughly captivated by someone so much better than me. And you are better than me.”
