Summary
Review by Donna F, Reviewer Mar 24 2024
"Never Fall Again" by Lynn H. Blackburn sets the stage for an enthralling series, introducing readers to the captivating characters of Gossamer Falls, a small town rife with longstanding family rivalries. Landry Hutton, striving to remain anonymous in a community where everyone knows each other's business, finds herself targeted by an unknown adversary and seeks refuge in Callum Shaw's assistance.
While not a high-action novel, the story immerses readers with its abundant red herrings and looming danger. I was prepared by another reader that it was not going to be as high action as her other novels and I am glad because I think it helped me enjoy it more knowing that this story was going to be more character driven. The story focuses on the burgeoning relationship between Callum and Landry, both grappling with past romantic scars. Blackburn expertly balances romance with suspense, culminating in an electrifying finale packed with twists and excitement, promising a fantastic series ahead.
The tale of Landry, a single mother facing threats, and Cal, a hero reluctant to engage romantically, unfolds as one of the finest romantic suspense narratives. The methodical build-up of suspense keeps readers on edge as they delve into the characters' backgrounds and the dangers they face, making the book utterly unputdownable.
As typical with Blackburn she creates dynamic and relatable characters like Mo, a tech-savvy individual with hidden depths. I cannot wait for his story! Landry's guarded heart and Cal's genuine kindness add depth to their evolving relationship. The slow-burn romance between them is both realistic and engaging, leaving readers rooting for their chance at love amidst the turmoil.
The well-paced plot, peppered with surprises and suspenseful moments, lays a solid foundation for what promises to be an engaging series. Overall, "Never Fall Again" delivers a compelling blend of romance, suspense, and faith, making it a must-read for fans of the genre. I eagerly anticipate the next installment in the series.
