The four brothers return home to Maine after the sudden death of their father. A close knit family they help their mother run the businesses while finding their own way in this town after being in the military for quite some time.
Second brother Chad meets Britt in town and she's just what his mother needs, someone who needs help. Chad makes her feel safe and secure and she repays by taking a load off for their mother.
She discovers something amiss financially and could be in danger. This story just takes off with danger, lies and so much more.
I couldn't put it down, especially the last half of the book. You'll be reading with bated breath wondering if they'll all survive.
I can't wait for the next story.

In this steamy contemporary romance about family, unforeseen circumstances, and unexpected love, an ex-military man and a down-on-her-luck woman find more than they bargained for when they find each other.

When Chad Young moves home, it’s not a decision he makes lightly. A former military man, he doesn’t make any decision lightly. But his father’s passing has left the family—and their business—reeling. Now more than ever, they need to stick together.

Britt Starkweather moved to Maine with her boyfriend, never imagining he’d abandon her there. With no money and nowhere to go, she accepts the Youngs’ offer of a job and room on their property. What more does she have to lose?

Although they just met, Chad makes Britt feel safe in a way no one has before. And she makes him feel things he’d given up on finding. But even as they grow closer, Britt realizes that something is amiss at Lobster Cove…and Chad will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

He Falls First (Colburn Brothers Book 1)

 by Jill Shalvis 

Wonderful story

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was so happy to see the series title on here knowing that there will be more. This was a wonderful start with the eldest brother Ryder. Ryder runs a family construction business along with his 2 brothers. His sister has a food business and is struggling with life after the death of her husband.
Penny has moved home to her grandma to help with her younger brother after her mother has moved on again.
She's a chef who is very guarded after her last boyfriend turned violent.
This is their story of love and interfering families. Survival after childhood trauma's and finding trust in each other.
Ryder is a very swoonworthy character, just what Penny needed.
I really enjoyed their story so much.

My fave part:
I stared at him, knowing I wore a stupid, goofy smile. "And what exactly would I be saying yes to?"
His smile matched mine. "Only everything."

No one is going to convince her to fall in love again...

Ryder Colburn has his hands full running the family business and caring for the ailing father who’s a virtual stranger from the cold, heavy-handed man he used to be. He’s got zero free time for hobbies or women. Or so he thinks until one walks into his life… and the path of an oncoming car.

Ryder doesn’t mind playing the hero for the skittish, scarred chef Penny. Maybe it’s the secrets in her eyes or the scar on her chin. Whatever the reason, he’s compelled to get closer.

Penny’s learned her lesson and now she’s paying the price. That’s why she’s sharing a dilapidated house in a tiny California town with her feisty grandmother and tween brother living off the leftovers from her catering job. It’s a far cry from her dream life. But who needs dreams… or love… or sex when there’s amateur plumbing projects to tackle and breakfast casseroles to bake?

One thing’s for sure, she’s never falling in love again. Not even with the sexy, snarky contractor who keeps testing the walls she’s built.
