The Book

She's determined to make an impact in her community.

He's determined to make sure she lives long enough to do it.

Dr. Meredith Quinn always planned to return to Gossamer Falls to practice dentistry. Now that she's back home, she's made it a point to offer clinics to children and adults in nearby underserved areas. Unfortunately, those same areas are known to harbor drug traffickers, and Police Chief Grayson Ward suspects that local law enforcement is looking the other way.

After too many losses, Grayson has closed off his heart. But with Meredith in his life, he feels his walls crumbling, leaving him exposed and vulnerable. To keep her alive, he must keep her close, but that makes it impossible for him to retreat and rebuild.

Will she be the one who finally helps him emerge from isolation? Or will this force of nature leave him shattered?

Book Review

Break My Fall is the second official book the Gossamer Falls series. There was also a connected novella in the Cornered collection. While those who have read these previous stories will appreciate seeing familiar characters and spending more time with the Quinn family, this could definitely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

It didn't take long to be drawn into these wonderful characters--- Meredith particularly was hard not to root for. She was a dentist who had returned back to her hometown to provide dental services to underserved areas. She was such a giving person. But when that lands her in trouble, she needs the help of her cousin's best friend and police chief Grayson. These two had a great chemistry between them, but Grayson had some hurts in his past that kept him from wanting to fall in love. Watching his growth throughout the story was definitely a highlight for me. That romance was blended perfectly with those suspenseful moments to keep me turning the pages to see how it would all turn out. Lynn H. Blackburn never fails to create stories that will keep me on the edge of my seat, and this was no exception. If you love Christian romantic suspense, this is one you'll want to add to your TBR.
