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?

This was my first Lynn H. Blackburn book, and I am obsessed. For me, it was the perfect combination of romance and suspense. It was very well balanced out. I really liked that it was not a strangers-to-lovers trope.

Gray and Meredith have already known each other for a while, so their falling in love did not seem rushed at all. Ever since their first encounter, I was obsessed with them. I love the way it progressed and showed us how long they have secretly pined for each other while the other being oblivious. They show us a carefully and intricately crafted love.

I loved all the details she put into the book, especially when she described her characters. It shows us how much thought and care she put into creating them. I like the family and closeness she expressed. I really need to know what is going on with Mo and Bronwyn. I cannot wait for next year.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell through Interviews & Reviews. I was not required to give a favorable review. All opinions are my own.

​I love the entire Quinn gang and the cozy small-town vibe of Gossamer Falls. Meeting up with Cal, Landry, Bronwyn, Mo, and Meredith again was so much fun and getting to know Gray, the chief of police, was very cool.

I loved Meredith’s heart of gold and her tendency to run headlong into trouble. Gray, with his stoic, steadfast presence, was the complete opposite of Meredith’s bubbly nature, but they complemented each other nicely. 

The suspense component of the plot was riveting, with lots of twists and turns. The brother’s best friend trope (or in this case, cousin’s best friend) worked well to bring Meredith and Gray together. I enjoyed the faith thread, particularly in Gray’s life, where he had to reconsider what God’s will for his life might be. Seeing Cal and Landry incredibly happy after their harrowing experience in the first book was a bonus. I can’t wait to read about Bronwyn and Mo next!
