ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 3, 2025
I didn’t mean to fall for a man—let alone two at once.
Especially not in the middle of a manhunt.
I moved back to Birchwood Springs to help my mom with the bakery.
What I got was a kidnapping, a conspiracy, and two men willing to burn the world down to protect me.
Malerick Timberbridge is broody, guarded, and far too used to being alone.
Cassian Harlan is the new bartender—or so he says. He’s chaos in a tactical vest and the only one who can crack Mal’s hardened exterior.
They’ve been through hell together.
But somehow, I’ve become the thread pulling them back together.
What we have isn’t simple.
It doesn’t follow rules. It doesn’t fit a label.
It just . . . is.
They make me feel seen.
Protected.
Wanted.
But this isn’t just about love.
It’s about survival.
This is our final stand.
And maybe—if we’re lucky—it’s the start of something that lasts.
The Timberbridge brothers’ journey ends here—where found family holds strong, secrets come undone, and love refuses to ask us to choose.
•••••
REVIEW: The final installment in The Timberbridge Brothers series has arrived, The Last Call Home is the most fitting title for the end of this amazing series. As always, I recommend reading the series in order, each can be read as a standalone in an interconnected series, but reading in order allows you to get the most out of it.
We are welcomed back to Birchwood Springs and the family that we all know and love. In the final installment we FINALLY get Malerick’s story and his love, and he has not one, but two loves. Much like his brothers, Malerick never thought he would be back in his sleepy hometown, but here he is, and the sheriff nonetheless. As the case involving his family and town continues, Mal is hit with a blast from the past, Cassian is back. Sent via the Organization as back-up, Cassian is in town to help solve the mystery threatening the sleepy town and those that live there, but it’s not just the case that’s on his mind.
To add to the already chaotic mix we have Delilah, the owner of the Honey Drop Cafe, the local bakery in town. She and Malerick have a flirty relationship, but no matter how many hints she seems to drop, Malerick doesn’t take the bait, that is until Cassian drops into town. Cassian brings another level of heat to the budding relationship between Malerick and Delilah, but things explode even more when Delilah decides she can’t choose between them and instead wants them both. Both Malerick and Cassian can’t deny the feelings and attraction they feel for Delilah, so eventually they all give into their needs. While their new relationship forms, the guys work together to stop the cartel from destroying their town and their new found happiness.
Dignity Dang! What a way to end a series. The Last Call Home truly has it all, suspense, danger, love and loss, there isn’t a chapter in the book that doesn’t have the reader on the edge of their seat waiting to see what happens next. These three characters bring such life to the story, each giving something different to the relationship that it needs. Malerick with his brooding intensity, Cassian with his sweet over-protection and dominance, and Deliah who brings strength and softness to the pair. I’m sad to see the series end, but wow, what a way to end it.
