Lynn H. Blackburn’s latest novel, Never Fall Again, has a swoonworthy romance with elements of suspense that will keep you turning pages.
Book Description
Landry Hutton has spent three years rebuilding her life behind the secure gates of The Haven, an exclusive resort on the outskirts of Gossamer Falls, North Carolina. As the artist-in-residence, and with her pottery prized by The Haven’s guests, Landry is finally ready to settle in permanently. She wants to give her daughter, Eliza, a safe home to grow up in and hires former Marine Callum Shaw to handle the construction.
Cal grew up in Gossamer Falls and always knew he would someday join his family’s business. He longs for a family of his own but has almost given up on that ever happening. Landry is funny, gifted, and everything Cal could ever want in a partner, but he vows to keep his distance. Landry has a daughter and a past. Cal has been down that road before and barely survived when the woman he loved left, taking her two sons with her. He can’t bear to lose like that again.
Before construction on the house can begin, Landry’s pottery is destroyed in a suspicious fire. It soon becomes clear that Landry and Eliza are in grave danger–but because of whom? But, after losing one relationship, he is hesitant to try again.
My Thoughts
Never Fall Again is a bit different from Lynn H. Blackburn’s other books, but I loved it just the same. The romance is still sizzling, even if the suspense is more peripheal than her past books. However, the suspense is still there, and there are plenty of twists and turns in the story.
And once again, Blackburn has an incredible and loveable cast of characters. Cal, of course, is incredible. Blackburn definitely knows how to write a hero. And I loved Landry, too. She’s strong without being the anti-man heroine I see so often.
But within the romance, Blackburn also weaves in these reminders that this is a suspense book and danger is near. I did not see the twist coming at all, but it made so much sense in the end.
I loved every minute of reading this book and was a bit sad when it ended. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Overall, Never Fall Again is a great romantic suspense with incredible characters and a page-turning plot.
