Reading … and writing reviews about Christian fiction is one of my favorite things to do.

Lynn Blackburn is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors, and I loved her latest offering, Break My Fall. When the release date for Book Two grew closer, I reread the first book, Never Fall Again. (I’ve slept since the first book and needed reacquainting with the characters and setting.) SO. GLAD. I. Did. It made for a seamless transition, and made Break My Fall that much better.

One reason I love this author’s writing is that she gets the balance right between romance and suspense. The danger is there and ongoing throughout the story, but my internal compass always searches for true north–as in, is the romance the major story or is it a mere add in. Frankly, when the suspense has me gasping on every page, it’s not a relaxing read. And yes, you guessed it–I read to wind down. Don’t need anything else to crank me up. The day’s happenings are plenty enough, thank you.

That said, I loved Gray and Meredith’s saga. Sweet. Swoon worthy. Tremendous fun. And the plot had enough twists to make a pretzel proud. The vibrant faith element made it feel like home. Keep writing, Ms Blackburn. Your books are a joy to read!
