It was so good to be back in Gossamer Falls and be reunited with the Quinn family. There are a lot of characters in this story and it is sometimes hard to remember the stories of other characters but the story was riveting.

I want to be a part of the Quinn family. They care so much about each other and will drop everything in a second to help each other out.

I was Team Gray in this story. I felt like he got the brunt of the Quinn family even though he had a difficult past. He worked so hard at protecting the community and those who lived within it.

I loved how Meredith took her dental clinic on the road to help those who needed it. She wore her heart on her sleeve throughout the book and was quick to care for those around her.

Thanks to Revell and netgalley for the arc. The opinions are my own.

SPLENDID!!

“And the main thing is not to expect God to go along with your plans. He has his own plans. And they’re better.” — Cal Quinn

Dr. Meredith Quinn has always had plans—big plans. After college and dental school, she always planned to return home to Gossamer Falls to practice dentistry and provide dental clinics to children and adults in underserved areas. Meredith had always planned to have a husband who cherished her alongside her, but so far, none had appeared. By coming home, her opportunities for finding love are slim. And she most definitely did not plan to end up as part of a possible kidnapping and/or murder victim. What I like most about this book is that author Lynn H. Blackburn has created authentic and multi-dimensional characters. Her main characters, Dr. Meredith Quinn and Police Chief Grayson Ward, reflect two flawed people who get a do-over after messing up the start of a relationship. They show what happens when forgiveness and grace take place between two people. The supporting cast of Meredith’s brother Mo, cousin Cal (who is like another brother), and her best friend, Bronwyn, all have her best interests in mind. Meredith’s extended family of Quinns also keeps an eye out for her. Blackburn creates a romance that is suspense-driven, and this plot is loaded! Blackburn always adds some sizzle and swoon to her romances, and readers will not be disappointed. Gray and the Quinns will have their hands full, trying to protect Meredith from the forces of evil. As she was going about her everyday life doing good, she had no idea what she was in the middle of, but it scared Gray more than anything else he had ever faced. He knew then how much he loved her. Meredith discovers God’s plans far surpass any she could have ever imagined. I highly recommend this book!!

Revell and NetGalley provided me with a complimentary copy of this book. However, my opinions are entirely my own and uninfluenced.

I'm SO happy to be back in Gossamer Falls, North Carolina with the Quinn family. Break My Fall is one of my most anticipated 2025 books! Police Chief Gray Ward & Dr. Meredith Quinn's story in Break My Fall is an amazing tale filled with suspenseful heart pounding, page-turning action, as well as humor, family, and a sweet love story.

Dr Quinn has a heart for children and adults in nearby underserved areas and offers her dentistry services a few times a year in a town 20 miles away. She named her van/mobile clinic Flossy. She hears and sees things in this corrupt town that make her a target. Gray has closed off his heart since he was a teenager after too many losses and won't let himself get too close. "Because despite his best efforts, he'd fallen hard for Meredith Quinn."

I loved ever minute of it! The characters, the setting, the story, all the wonderfully loving, quirky, loyal, and protective family members make this series a fabulous choice!

So many great lines, here are just a few:
"You've sure turned into a Quinn woman. I see that clear as day. Sweet as sugar. Stubborn as a mule." "Instead, she'd turned into a hobbit. She lived in a tiny house surrounded by family. There was a lot of delicious food, and she could eat second breakfast anytime she wanted."
"Had the goal today been to scare her? To abduct her? To kill her?"

I highly recommend Break My Fall to lovers of great storytelling, with suspense, romance, family, and delightful humor beautifully woven in.

Thank you to the author, Revell, and Net Galley for allowing me to read an early copy, all opinions are my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed Break My Fall! The setting of Gossamer Falls has been so engaging and really has me invested the characters in this community. There is so much love and support between the characters, it’s refreshing and makes their relationships feel really genuine!
This story is a slow burn, but in the best way! Meredith and Gray’s relationship was a long time coming! My heart was just breaking for her willingness to be vulnerable and lay her feelings on the line, even if it wasn’t openly reciprocated. I loved the behind the scenes turmoil that the reader sees in Gray until he comes to his senses and works through his past trauma. However, once his walls came down…watch out! That man was on a mission and it was fun to be along for the ride! With chemistry that sizzled and a fierce protectiveness that wouldn’t be tamed, Gray was absolutely a worthy hero! This book delivered an intense and action packed conclusion that really put these characters through the wringer. I loved this book! This series seems to be a softer side of suspense that focuses more of relationships and romance than every turn of the page danger and thrills and its completely working for me! The writing is thoughtful and forward moving without the need to sprinkle red herrings and near misses on every page. I’m here for it and this series is shaping up to be my new favorite from Lynn Blackburn!

I really enjoyed this one! Gray and Meredith's romance had me fully invested, and the connection between the characters pulled me in emotionally, making the story even more thrilling. The suspense was expertly written, keeping me hooked the entire time. There was so much at stake with the romance and the suspense, and the way they intertwined made everything even more gripping.

All the characters were well-developed and layered, which made me eager to spend more time with them in the next book. I'm especially excited for Mo and Beep, who have been teased since book one—I'm officially hooked on their story!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Revell for providing a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Really enjoyed this next book in the,series.. Meredith is a denisit serving an impoverished community ripe with corruption, but her work allows he into the lives of others and she hears things about the men in power, which makes her become a target. Police Chief Greyson keeps her at arms distance but when her life is in danger, he’ll stand to protect her, even if he has to fumble through what that looks like for their relationship.

. I enjoy this story and the protective love of family. Lookimg forward to more by this author!

Break My Fall is book number 2 in Lynn Blackburn's Gossamer Falls series. I really enjoy Lynn Blackburn's writing as she creates characters who are strong and full of faith. The story is strong and suspenseful. The plot is strong and very engaging. I loved the characters and I really enjoyed the cameo appearnces from previous books. The town of Gossamer Falls seems like a great place to live.

I suggest you grab a large cup of tea, a cozy blanket and settle in for a great read.

I was given a copy of Break My Fall with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

We are back in Gossamer Falls, NC in the second installment of Lynn Blackburn’s series. Break My Fall, Meredith’s and Gray’s story, was riveting, suspenseful, and romantic. The Quinn’s are a loyal family unit, protective of their siblings and cousins. I love a strong, independent female protagonist which we have in Meredith. The chemistry and sparks between her and Gray really keeps the story moving. This can be read as a standalone but I suggest reading the first one for the full picture of the camaraderie and rivalry between the Quinn and Pierce families.

This is a good mystery that includes current problems. I enjoyed the relationship between Meredith and Gray and also the Quinn family. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

A wonderful book continuing the story around this family. An inspiration for me to build community and family ties, learn good communication and enjoy the time together.

I loved this book! I really have got into medical themed books a bit and I was definitely getting Meredith Gray vibes with this one! I loved the relationship between her and Grayson and I was kept turning the pages well into the night. Very good suspense drama filed with romance that will sweep you off your feet

Oh My Goodness! I could not put this book down, it was just so good! The characters and the story had me enthralled!! Break My Fall is the second book in Lynn H Blackburn’s Gossamer Falls series.
I adored Meredith, she was fiery but she was kind. I loved her spunkiness but also how she genuinely cared for people. She was just a lovely character and I loved reading about her. I felt for her as she tried to figure out her relationship with Gray and figure out how was targeting her.
Gray was a sweetheart underneath all of his hurt past and he was just trying to keep those around him safe. He cared for Meredith but he was scared to let her in. I liked his growth throughout the book as he learned to trust God through everything.
The romance was sweet and I liked the connection that Meredith and Gray had. They had to work through some obstacles especially as they tried to keep Meredith safe. They were not perfect but I liked how they fought for each other. I adored Meredith’ family! They were so fun and I always love the family scenes and interactions.
But oh my, the suspense and everything in between was crazy. I didn’t know what was going to happen in the book and I couldn’t put it down. The story felt real. I love how Blackburn is able to weave in faith throughout the book while dealing with hard scary topics. Everything was just perfect.
I loved loved loved Break My Fall and I would totally recommend it! I need to read the next book, I know it is going to be amazing. Break My Fall is a clean Christian romantic suspense.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.

The third book in the Gossamer falls series has left me wanting the fourth now. I really liked the character of Meredith and her profession - it's unusual to read about a dentist/papercrafter. She's also written as a strong, forthright woman. I also loved visiting the other characters in Gossamer falls and other books - they seem like old friends at this point.

The story was well written and I really enjoyed it. While a standalone book, read the others in the series as you wait for book 4. Read this book, you won't be disappointed!

I receive complimentary books for various sources, including Netgalley, Authors, and other such sources. I am not required to write a positive review and have not received compensation.

I couldn’t wait to get back to Gossamer Falls, North Carolina!

This series centers around the Quinns, a large, closely knit, sprawling family who’ve lived in the Western North Carolina mountains for over 100 years. Book one featured Callum Quinn, book 1.5 featured his cousin, Cassie Quinn and this second book in the series, features their cousin Grayson Quinn. I’m not from a large family, so I love reading about the support, love and challenges that come with it and result from living in close proximity. Blackburn explores all kinds of ships in this series: romantic relationships, friendships, family relationships, and client relationships.

Although I enjoyed book one, this book grabbed my emotions and wouldn’t let go! I felt so connected to Police Chief Grayson Ward. The way he expressed himself and communicated with Meredith gave me a lump in my throat!

I admired Dr Meredith Quinn and her mobile dental clinic. Her determination to help the underrepresented, underserved, and the needy was commendable. I could imagine her out in Flossy, driving the windy mountain roads on a Saturday and smiling as she thought of her next client on the roster.

The humour in this story elevated it! I chuckled reading about the book return fiasco, the Mexican food ‘silent’ aftermath, and the experience resulting in gifting cow patty ornaments!

The second chances theme was woven throughout, the plot was heavier on the suspense side than the romance, and the reminder that just because one is forgiven doesn’t mean that there won’t be consequences was timely. Blackburn writes first-class romantic suspense and that’s why she’s an auto-read author for me.

This, my third book by Blackburn, was one of my most anticipated ARCs this month and it more than met my expectations. I’m impressed with the author’s rich storytelling, her authentic characters, and her ability to write a fantastic story balancing faith, romance and suspense. I can’t wait for the next installment.

I was gifted this copy by Revell and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
