ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 28, 2024

My new roommate is a hard-working, blue collar lineman–and a scorching specimen of a man–but I swear I don’t watch him when he’s not looking.

He’s not looking, because Vaughn Collins knows that I, Valentina Brewster, have never been touched. And him? He’s had more than a few rounds with the bucket bunnies.

I escaped a lifestyle where religious freedom wasn’t accepted, and started to build a future for myself, when my father found me.

Now that I’ve decided to stop running, Vaughn wants to protect me, and I’m willing to let him do it. But the forced proximity is starting to get to us. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to hold off.

I’m terribly close to asking him to teach me all the things I’ve always wanted to know.

I have a feeling he’ll have no problem saying yes…

REVIEW: Vaughn is the next installment in The Broken Falls series by Laramie Briscoe. Each book is a standalone in the series, but interconnected and recommended to read in series order. For those that like a small-town, forced proximity, found family, secret cinnamon roll romance, this one’s for you.

This lovely little novella is Val and Vaughn’s story. For a book with less than 200 pages, there was a lot to unpack with this story. Val is a new addition to Broken Falls, and coming from a less than conventional (aka cult like) family, she is somewhat sheltered and surprised to see how the people of the small town welcome her. Vaughn is a linesman, and work takes up the majority of his time, but there is just something about Val that has him breaking his normal routine. The more time they spend together, the more and more they like each other, and not just as friends.

But like life does, it catches up to you and this time it’s coming for Val. Vaughn goes into protection mode and makes it his life mission to ensure that she sees this next mess through. To say that Val had a toxic family would be an understatement, but Vaughn is more worried about her safety than anything, and will do anything to make sure she is safe, this makes Val fall even more in love with him of course.

I really was pretty surprised with the plot in this story. When I saw how short the novella was, I didn’t expect it to be so well thought out and developed. Novella’s are short and quick, many times with a fun, cute little peak of a couple or something, but this one was so well thought out and well done. My heart went out to Val for all she had suffered with her crazy family, but also how to survive it and made it to a better place and her happily ever after. Vaughn was everything she needed and more, and I think she was what he needed as well.

She looks around. “I forgot where we were, I’m glad you at least kept your head about you.”

If she only knew, I’m ready to get her behind closed doors so that we can get to know one another in the carnal way I’d like. “I wouldn’t say I kept my head about me, I’m just very motivated to get you alone, Val. Let’s go.”

Her lips part on a gasp when I reach down and put my hands at her hips, lifting her up and encouraging her to wrap her legs around my waist. My hands travel down to her ass, holding on tight as I walk us back to the stairs and then take them two at a time. Once we’re back in the apartment, her gaze travels over to the stove.

“I was going to make us dinner…”

“Don’t worry babe, I got everything I wanna eat right here.”
