Never Fall Again

About the Book: 

Landry Hutton has spent three years rebuilding her life behind the secure gates of The Haven, an exclusive resort on the outskirts of Gossamer Falls, North Carolina. As the artist-in-residence, and with her pottery prized by The Haven's guests, Landry is finally ready to settle in permanently. She wants to give her daughter, Eliza, a safe home to grow up in and hires former Marine Callum Shaw to handle the construction.

Cal grew up in Gossamer Falls and always knew he would someday join his family's business. He longs for a family of his own but has almost given up on that ever happening. Landry is funny, gifted, and everything Cal could ever want in a partner, but he vows to keep his distance. Landry has a daughter and a past. Cal has been down that road before and barely survived when the woman he loved left, taking her two sons with her. He can't bear to lose like that again.

Before construction on the house can begin, Landry's pottery is destroyed in a suspicious fire. It soon becomes clear that Landry and Eliza are in grave danger--but because of whom? But, after losing one relationship, he is hesitant to try again.

My Review: 

As Landry Hutton settles into her new life, all seems to finally be at peace in her life as she starts the building of her new home until— something happens to bring her past crashing in on her and her daughter. Builder Callum Shaw quickly becomes involved in the case and Landry and Eliza’s life as he sees they need protection.

Never Again has a blend of suspense, romance, and flawed characters to make this a good story. Landry was a wonderful mom, a creative artist, and willing to be vulnerable. Cal is generous, has a big heart, and I am glad to see he let go of his fears to see the possibility of a future with Landry.

This is the first book in the Gossamer Falls series, and I can’t wait to read more! I received a copy of the book through the Revell Reads program and NetGalley. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
