NEVER FALL AGAIN by Lynn H. Blackburn has all the key points in a romance/suspense novel. Intriguing characters. Creative plot. Interesting twists. Great chemistry! Definitely a great start to a new series.
Landry Hutton and her daughter Eliza have flown under the radar for three years. As the artist-in-residence at an exclusive resort, Landry has worked at building her career and her foundation for a new life. Just as she is ready to make her life in Gossamer Falls permanent, her studio is destroyed in a fire—but it was no accident. Landry’s immediate response is to run, but Callum Shaw provides for her stability she never even dreamed of. Even though she knows with the baggage she carries, she can’t allow a deeper relationship to form, having Callum at her side allows her some time to plan her next steps.
Callum Shaw is not looking for a relationship, especially one with a child involved. Though he thinks Landry is incredible and Eliza is the sweetest little girl, his heart has been badly scarred by a previous relationship. Not willing to put himself through the devastation another relationship could bring, he and Landry decide friendship is all they can ever have.
Even as Landry and Callum work to define boundaries in their relationship, threats against Landry continue to escalate. Knowing his heart is already attached to Landry and Eliza, Callum makes it his mission to not only protect the both of them, but to find out who is behind the deadly threats and stop them before it’s too late.
NEVER FALL AGAIN is packed with action and emotion. Callum’s family welcomes Landry and Eliza with open arms, immediately giving Landry a glimpse of what a normal life could be like when surrounded by family and friends. And considering Callum’s family is one of the esteemed families in Gossamer Falls, they both are lavished with love, acceptance, and a real sense of belonging. Landry is convinced this is where she wants to be, and a life her daughter deserves, but there is another person determined not to let that happen.
A true romance/suspense book with plenty of both to keep you turning page after page.
Though I was given this book by the publisher in exchange for a review, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
