"Never Fall Again", by Lynn H. Blackburn


Gossamer Falls book #1

A Romance Novel

This story is set in a fictional mountain town in North Carolina where Landry Hutton, a window and single mother to a five year old daughter, Eliza, set roots after moving from Arizona. They live at The Haven, an exclusive resort where Landry creates and set pottery. But what seemed to be a sweet and peaceful place at first glance may not prove to be so.....

Landry wants to give her daughter a safe home to grow up in and hires Callum Shaw to handle the construction. But in Gossamer Falls there is family feud between neighbours that is raging on and her arrival just adds fuel.....

I read a few books by this author and I enjoyed them quite a bit, this latest is a soft mystery that takes it merry time to move along and gives us a quick romance to spice the atmosphere. This town has a deep family history and the backstory alludes to a wide range of troubles between clans. The squabbles of the past are affected the present but eventually things worked out. Landry and Callum although had been hurt by their relationship in the past were attracted to each other and their slow romance was what made this story interesting. Of course the mystery was good to follow: strange and dangerous occurrences, including fire, break-in and kidnapping but who wanted to destroy “The Haven” and Landry’s studio? ...Finding out was a big surprise.... but what happened to the bad guy? No answer there...I didn’t see myself on the edge on my seat biting my nails here but rather keeping my mind from wandering too much. As for the characters I loved their sense of humour.

Although a good story it wasn’t my favourite by this author.
