Summary
Book Review: Break My Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn
by Donna F
Break My Fall marks a compelling return to Gossamer Falls and the beloved Quinn family. This time, the spotlight is on Dr. Meredith Quinn, whose mobile dental clinic takes her into the troubled community of neighboring Neeson. What starts as routine care turns dangerous as her patients begin sharing secrets—stories of abuse, trafficking, and corruption involving local law enforcement. The realism of these revelations is both gripping and heartbreaking.
Enter Chief Grayson Ward, a man with his own emotional walls and a fierce dedication to justice. Grayson is determined to stop the crime spreading into his county—even more so when Meredith becomes a target. His struggle between keeping Meredith safe and keeping his heart protected makes for a deeply satisfying, slow-burning romance.
Blackburn’s gift for creating vibrant, layered characters shines here. Whether it's Meredith’s strength and compassion, Grayson's inner conflict, or the supportive circle of friends and family—like Mo, Cal, Cassie, and Donovan—these relationships add warmth and emotional depth. The dynamic between Meredith and Grayson is both tender and full of tension, making their story impossible to put down.
The romance is sweet and the suspense is edge of your seat; thankfully, Mo provides the perfect dose of humor and levity to balance the intensity. And speaking of Mo… I am officially invested in what’s brewing between him and Bronwyn. Blackburn cleverly teases just enough to leave readers eagerly awaiting their turn in the spotlight. Personally, I have been waiting for Mo’s story since book one!
Fans of interconnected stories will also appreciate the cameos from other Blackburn novels, adding layers for longtime readers. Break My Fall is both thrilling and heartwarming, an excellent addition to the series—and one of the most satisfying romantic suspense reads I’ve had in ages.
