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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 11, 2025

He was never supposed to love her—especially not her baby.

I didn’t plan on ending up in Birchwood Springs.

But after escaping a brutal marriage and discovering I’m pregnant, this town—and the broody tattoo artist who swore to protect me—might be the only shot I have at starting over.Atlas Timberbridge is nothing like the world I left behind.

He’s all inked arms, gruff silence, and an unexpected gentleness that makes my heart ache.

Pretending we were married was for my protection.
A temporary arrangement meant to keep me hidden from my vicious husband.
We agree to keep it strictly business. No feelings. No future.

But the longer I stay, the more this small town—and this man—start to feel like home.

Now I’m falling for my fake husband… and terrified he’ll never be able to love me back.
Because small towns have long memories.
And secrets don’t stay buried forever.

REVIEW:This series has me in an official choke hold! The next installment in The Timberbridge Brother; When Love Found Us, brings us back to the small town and the brothers we have all come to love and adore. As always, I recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of it, but each book in the series can be read as a standalone. This is a small town, fake-marriage romance with fantastic characters and spicy scenes.

Blythe aka Henrietta is a woman on the run. From whom you ask? Her abusive husband, a man of means and wealth. She has changed her name, moves from town to town, never staying too long. At her newest stop, a town called Birchwood Springs she meets Atlas, it’s like he knows she is running, how tired she is, how she needs help but doesn’t have the courage in her to ask for it. He sees her. Atlas offers her job, something that she needs more than anything, and that is a safe space. That’s when the dam breaks and she spills her entire life story to him.

Including her secret. She’s pregnant.

Atlas is living with his own demons, he is a Timberbridge by blood, but only by half blood, and not by choice. Finding out about who he is and that he has brothers, even if they are only half brothers was a shock to his system, let alone how some of them were acting. (Ledger) The family drama is heartbreaking and hard to read in some parts, but as the relationships come to grow and mend, they are even more moving and memorable.

When Atlas meets Blythe he knows she needs help, when he learns her story, learns what is at stake and that not only her life, but her baby’s life could be in danger, he offers a solution. He proposes a fake marriage, one that after some conveniences on Blythe’s part, she agrees to. As they spend more and more time together, they slowly start to fall for each other, but neither of them act on their feelings why Blythe is still married. Together, with the help of his brothers and friends, they find a way for Blythe to divorce her husband, but still keep her safe.

This was just an enjoyable read. Atlas is a sweetheart, and when it comes to Blythe and her baby he doesn’t fool around. They are his to protect and he doesn’t care who he has to take down to do it. The plot is engaging and easy to keep up with, the romance is a slow burn, the relationship between our main leads is made so much better by that fact too. CB has a way of building such amazing worlds, and the Timberbridge family is one of my favorites. The family interactions and drama add another level of intrigue to the small town making it more interesting to read. Either way, I will forever be back for this series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 7, 2025

After witnessing a crime, I ran.
For three years, I’ve hid from everyone.
I abandoned Birchwoods Spring, my home, my plans, and the life I planned to build.
I told myself it was the only way to stay safe.

But when my grandmother falls ill, I have no choice but to come back—even if it means confronting the past I tried to escape.

The moment I step onto my land, I feel it. The unease creeping in. The prickle at the back of my neck.

Someone’s been here. Watching. Waiting.
They know I’m back.
And they want me to know it, too.
I should leave. Pack up. Disappear—again.

Then I see him.

Hopper Timberbridge, my high school crush.

He’s no longer a gangly teenager. Now, he’s gruff, guarded, and fiercely protective of the life he’s built with his daughter. He doesn’t pry, doesn’t push—just takes everything in with knowing eyes that see too much. And when the threats escalate, he offers me a place to stay, a refuge I know better than to trust.

Because whatever’s lurking in the dark?

It isn’t just watching anymore. It’s coming for me.

REVIEW: Book two in the Timberbridge Brothers series by Claudia Burgoa is a fast pace, romantic suspense filled with found family, swoony single dads and just the right amount of danger. As always, I recommend reading the series in order,while the book can be read as a standalone, there are characters from previous books that are important to the story.

Nysa is a woman on the run.. After witnessing a heinous crime years ago, she has had to continuously run, never staying in one place long, never putting down roots. Now she’s back in Birchwood Springs, her Grandmother is ill so going back where it all started may not be where she wants to go, but it’s where she has to. As her luck seems to always fail her, the trouble from her past has finally found its way back to her as well, at least now she has someone in her corner.

Hooper (love the name) has also returned to his hometown, but with his young daughter Maddie in tow. As a single father, he tries his best to be the man his daughter needs him to be, but sometimes it’s a lot to take on alone. However, as a vet, he runs a ranch that helps and cares for injured and sick animals, this allows him to be more involved on a day to day basis with his daughter. Enter Nysa, the new neighbor, one that he and his family have past ties to. There connection is fierce, their chemistry hot, however neither makes a move on the other while their feelings are unclear. Soon the troubles from Nysa’s past start making moves, putting more than her family’s farm in danger, her life becomes a target. Once that happens, Hopper is done playing games, he ropes in his brother aka the sheriff, and they start to investigate. But can they unravel the mystery before another incident happens to Nysa?

I freaking knew I was going to love this series, small-town suspense is where it is at! Ms. Claudia is a master at her craft, she can weave a story like no other, and everytime it has me waiting with bated breath. Nysa, Hooper and little Maddie were the storybook ending that we all want before turning in at night. Nysa and Hooper had such great banter, their characters fun and engaging, the suspense to the story had the perfect amount of tension to get the reader engage and on their toes. I really can’t wait to see what Ms. Claudia has in store for the rest of the brothers!
