The anticipation for this book started with book one in the series. Mo and Bronwyn had my interest from the get-go and I couldn't wait for their story. The author has outdone herself. Thanks to the publisher for my copy of the book!
Summary:
She's caught in a deadly game. He's the only one who can help her win.
Bronwyn Pierce has poured everything into The Haven, her family's exclusive mountain resort in Gossamer Falls. But when financial discrepancies surface and the numbers suggest something far darker than simple mismanagement, she's forced to call on the one person with the skills to help her: Mo Quinn, a former Army intelligence officer, her first love, and the last person she ever wanted to trust again.
Mo has spent years avoiding the woman he once loved and the secrets that tore them apart. But when Bronwyn calls, he can't walk away--especially when it's clear someone wants her gone for good. As they dig deeper into the treacherous motives behind a blackmail scheme, their proximity reignites long-buried feelings neither of them are ready to face. And when the evidence points to an unexpected culprit, Mo faces an impossible choice: trust the proof in front of him or trust his heart.
With danger closing in and no one else to turn to, Bronwyn must break years of silence with Mo to uncover who's trying to destroy The Haven. They'll have to risk everything--including their hearts--to expose the truth before it's too late.
The finale to Blackburn's Gossamer Falls series is an exhilarating romantic suspense novel packed with tension. This gripping read will hook fans of the family rivalry, bodyguard, small town, second chance romance, and forced proximity tropes.

My Review:
Figuring out the words to say for a) the conclusion to this series and b) the much anticipated showdown between Mo and Bronwyn seems impossible. I think Mo and Beep could be the poster couple for my favorite second-chance romance story!
We FINALLY get their story in Last to Fall, but of course, it's not without the couples (who are also family) along for the ride! What kind of story would it be without them? They've wormed their way into our hearts through the first two books.
To say Bronwyn (Beep) and her entire family have an unhealthy relationship would be putting it mildly. I'll admit that it cracked me up (not in a good way) when her grandmother talked about how poorly her children turned out. Let's just say, Bronwyn is an enigma when it comes to the Pierce family. Knowing someone is trying to oust her from the resort that she's CEO of isn't a surprise, but trying to figure out what's going on and who's behind it brings the suspense.
It's also brings Mo back into her life more than it has been. Mo, the grumpy sunshine of the series and the one that made me think I was like June, Beep's assistant, when he was kind and smiled! lol Funny how fictional characters will do that to a reader.
We also finally get their backstory and watch it all fall apart. It's sad and heartbreaking all at the same time. I'm with Cal when they finally figured out what would get them talking to each other instead of through other people! I'd have done the same. Ha!
As Mo begins to unravel what's going on behind the scenes, things come to a head with her family. I imagine there are power-hungry families out there who behave like the Pierces, and it just makes me cringe. I'll just say, when Beep finally lets them have it, I was right there cheering her on in spirit!
I'm so appreciative of stories that have a thread of faith in them and thankfully, this story does! It's easy to see how faith can be a struggle when someone has been hurt or treated poorly.
While I'm sad the series is over, I'm glad I still have cousin Cassie's novella to read.
