Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
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?


My Review:
Never Fall Again is a Christian romantic suspense. Landry married a 'good Christian man' only to find out it was a front. He was emotionally abusive and manipulative. After he died in an accident, his parents threaten to take her daughter from her, so Landry took up a friend on her offer of a job making and teaching pottery to rich people at her exclusive mountain resort. Landry had a hard time trusting the appearance of goodness though she still believes in God. As she and Cal worked together on her dream home, they came to admire and care for each other. They built a friendship until they could trust each other enough to work through their issues from past relationships.

The main characters were engaging and reacted realistically to events. The suspense came from the the repeated attacks on Landry's livelihood escalating to danger to her, her daughter, and Cal. Both Landry and Cal occasionally prayed to God for help. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I would recommend this enjoyable suspense novel.
