The Description

Gossamer Falls: Book 2
Publication Date: March 18, 2025

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?

The Review

Break My Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn is the second book in the Gossamer Falls series, and I can’t wait for more. Not having read the first book, Never Fall Again, did not detract from my reading or enjoyment, and I hope I get a chance to read it. This Southern suspense had me on the edge of my seat more than once, along with a racing heart and engaging all my senses.

Meredith and Gray’s story, and we’re taken on a wild ride. She’s a dentist in her small hometown, where her close-knit family surrounds her. Gray’s the police chief, and his hands are full with all the crimes and secrets in the next town that could encroach on his territory.

Since Meredith maintains a dental clinic in that town using her mobile van, she’s in the thick of it without realizing it until it’s almost too late. They are attracted to each other, but Gray vows never to be in a relationship and possibly lose someone he loves. Meredith has tried to break down Gray’s walls and ultimately has to put up her own. Will they be able to work things out to become a couple and maybe more?

Multiple storylines are wrapped up in the overall arc and woven together nicely. We get a front-row seat to the evil that’s spreading but also the good that’s being done. There is a happily ever after after the demise of the bad guys, but I wish the story had gone on a little longer.

About The AuthorLynn H. Blackburn is the award-winning author of Never Fall Again, as well as the Dive Team Investigations and Defend and Protect series. She loves writing swoon-worthy Southern suspense because her childhood fantasy was to become a spy, but her grown-up reality is that she’s a huge chicken and would have been caught on her first mission. She prefers to live vicariously through her characters by putting them into terrifying situations while she sits at home in her pajamas. She lives in Simpsonville, South Carolina, with her true love, Brian, and their three children.
