My Review:

Never Fall Again is the first book in Lynn H. Blackburn's newest series, Gossamer Falls.

"Welcome to Gossamer Falls. Where we do things the way we want to. You can learn to do it our way, or you can leave."

Read for:

• small town in NC
• strong family ties
• single-parent
• adorable children
• long-time feud
  
• strong cast of characters
• MC former marine
  

I enjoyed all the characters. I found them (except the villain) to be likable, and well-developed. I wondered about a few things as I read the story, but overall, it is a strong start to a new series. It is worth noting that there is not as much suspense in Never Fall Again as long-time fans would expect there to be. The romance seems to be more prominent than the suspense. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Thank you to Revell for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

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.
