Anticipation Thursday: Break My Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn

 Anticipation Thursday!

I'm always excited to learn about a new book by a favorite author. Today, for  Anticipation Thursday, I'm sharing a new book scheduled to be released on March 18, 2025. I love romantic suspense, so how can I not be excited about Break My Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn?

ABOUT THE BOOK

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 when Meredith enters his life, his walls crumble, and he's left 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?

Why is my anticipation so great?

Break My Fall is the second book in the Gossamer Falls series and it promises to be another intriguing story about the people of Gossamer Falls, North Carolina.. Lynn H. Blackburn is known for her memorable characters, thrilling suspense, and swoon-worthy romance, but I'm always impressed by the inspiring faith messages that she weaves into these stories! She definitely lives up to her title of Inspirational Romantic Suspense Author!

Just who is Meredith Quinn mixed up with?

Grayson, are you sure Meredith can never be yours?

Welcome to the Honey B&B by Melody Carlson

ABOUT THE BOOK

After years in San Jose, Jewel Benedict is going home to Oregon to help care for her father who has early onset dementia. Easier said than done. Jewel's 13-year-old daughter is upset about the move. Her absentminded beekeeper dad is a humorous handful. Her mom is overworked and overwhelmed. Her finances are stretched tight. And, according to her father, the neighbors are troublesome.

To make some needed money, Jewel convinces her parents to turn the decrepit farmhouse into a B&B. Soon her old high school flame turned contractor steps in to help, but Jewel questions whether he is trustworthy. Those "troublesome" neighbors--a handsome widower and his teenage daughter--just might be the key to making all this work?

Along the way, they'll all discover that it takes a village to keep a man with dementia (and a goofy sense of humor) from unraveling everything!

MY THOUGHTS.....

How often have you heard the phrase "I didn't know whether to laugh or cry"? This is how I feel about Welcome to the Honey B&B. It is contemporary fiction based on real-life occurrences, and author Melody Carlson uses her own experiences to share Honey and CT McKerry's touching story. I became familiar with the disorder, frontotemporal dementia, because of actor Bruce Willis, but this book educated me about its true effects. As I read CT's antics, I alternated between shaking my head, laughing, or trying to swallow a lump in my throat!

Love is the shining factor in this story! Honey McKerry believes in the promises she made in her wedding vows and proves it by caring for CT through the best and worst of times. There is also a promising romance between their daughter, Jewel, and a neighbor who steps in to help. The real testament to love, however, is the care that Honey, Jewell, and Jewell's daughter give to CT.

I loved that Carlson doesn't sugarcoat the emotions of these strong but fallible characters navigating an unknown future. Can you imagine the heartbreak of a devastating illness, struggling with finances, and trying to start a new business? How about overwhelming fatigue that triggers exasperation that's followed by tremendous guilt? Faith and grace are certainly needed.

Welcome to the Honey B&B is an inspiring, enlightening, and entertaining read! I recommend it to all who enjoy contemporary Christian fiction.

I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
