Never Fall Again by Lynn H. Blackburn
5.0
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & 1/2 (4.5 stars, rounded up to 5)
Read: April 2024
Format: ARC via Net Galley (advanced reader copy)
Challenge Prompt: CNL’s #7 of 50 - “With an adverb in the title”
Book #34 of 2024: I already liked this author and read her past books. A friend read this one and spoke highly of it. I was surprised to see that I could still access it at Net Galley. It was released last month. I’m thankful!
I know it’s only the first book of the series, but it just may be my favourite series by this author. I enjoyed the community camaraderie, the ease in which everybody helped everybody, the emphasis on faith and family, and much more. I enjoyed the cast of characters and could easily imagine many of them quite easily. They’re my kind of people.
Landry is a woman of honour who has been through a lot in her lifetime. Her need for safety and privacy are understandable after lies and betrayal. Likewise, Callum is a man of honour who went through terrible heartache and loss and his walls of safety also made sense. Seeing their friendship develop naturally and organically was the stuff of wishes and dreams. They got each other. They respected each other. And they came to trust each other.
The build-up of suspense was slow but grew with intensity and complexity. Honestly, the book just kept getting better and better as the drama grew and as the romance blossomed into something beautiful.
The one thing I would have liked differently was an epilogue rather than the brief and abrupt “six months later” part. I felt like I missed out. Lol!
I want to move to Gossamer Falls, have Cal build me a house and a fireplace, decorate with Landry’s pottery pieces, then get takeout from Cassie’s restaurant. I can’t wait to see what transpires with Meredith, Gray, Bronwyn, Mo, Cassie, etc. Oh, and I call dibs on a puppy or two from Maisy!
