I was excited to finally read about Lacey’s journey. I felt so much while reading, my emotions were all over the place. Quinn is truly amazing and so supportive, Lacey just needs to realize that wanting and needing help does not make her weak. Her bravery and strength was heartwarming to witness.
Absolutely loved the dedication in this book –
“To all those who face the medical curveballs life can throw our way with bravery, humility and incredible strength.”
Oh my heart!! This was the book of the series! It was so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. When We Fall was the sixth book in J.H. Croix’s Last Frontier Lodge Series. It was sweet, swoony, and so emotional!
Lacey was a head strong, powerful, force of nature. She didn’t know how to take it slow. She was living life to the fullest until life tried to throw her off her game. Would she be able to ask for help when she needed it?
Quinn had been away for years but it was time for him to come home and settle down. He had always had eyes on Lacey but she never saw them as anything but friends. When her life started to crumble, would she let him in? Would both their hearts be on the line?
Wow! What an emotional ride, it was so heartfelt. I absolutely loved watching their story unfold and their love grow. Hands down, my favorite of the series!
Lacey is a tough as nail, smart, sassy and sexy as hell woman, just ask Quinn! So when she starts having medical issues while on a backwoods hike, she digs in and tries to refuse help. Not explaining things to her family and missing appointments.
Quinn has been half in love with his friend Lacey since the first time they met. He’s a Dr with a Harvard degree, but he is the most laid back person Lacey has ever met. So what has her body humming and heart pounding on this trip? It’s never been like this before!
We don’t get to choose the person our heart falls for and Lacey is having a tough time coming to terms with that!
This book was many things, but boring wasn’t one of them! These two have amazing chemistry, sexy banter and steam up the sheets like crazy, however the best part for me…the love shown to Lacey by Quinn, during the times she felt weak. He cared for her, even when he knew it would drive her crazy! She could have called anyone, every time she had trouble, but she didn’t! She called Quinn!
Check this book out now! Read all the books from JH, they have all the feels!
I chose a lot of the above but then they just disappeared. This book was a great love story. Quinn is incredible. Every women’s dream. Lacey was very very independent and thought she needed no one until she found out she did. Great story worth the read!!! A great standalone with an HEA!!
Another Great
This series shows that people fall in love but don’t always realize it at first. Lacey has always been that rough and outdoorsy type of girl, but still beautiful. Quinn knew Lacey from working together but then went back to do his residency to become a doctor. But he’s back and helping her in a trip but something isn’t right with her. But they finally realize they are more than friends.
This is a great friends to lovers story. Lacey and Quinn’s story is full of heartfelt emotion and they struggle with their feeling for each other and Lacey’s possible MS diagnosis. I love all the Diamond Creek books, it is such a great setting and all the characters are relatable.
Having worked with MS patients, I thought this was a touching story about how life can and will go on and be made easier with the love and support from others.
Rugged tale of life in Alaska. Two old friends are faced with new feelings developing for one another. As they spend more time together and lean on one another more and more they.learn to trust their feelings and decide to proceed with a future together.
I loved how this situation was presented. There are definitely people who have this disease along with those who love them.
J.H. Croix picks subject matter that tugs at your heart and puts together a believable story that will keep you turning the pages. With Lacey and Quinn, they each harbor deep feelings for each other but refuse to act upon them until tragedy threatens their friendship. A kiss may not be enough but will it cost them the happiness they feel?
Very loveable characters. Easy and quick read. Feel good story.
I have enjoyed every one of the characters in this series. Great easy, fun, loving story.
Sad the main female character had a health problems, but still a happy ever after.
I enjoy reading books by this author. I have read several of the books set in the same locale. The author’s description of the scenery and life style of the area is detailed and interesting. The characters are realistic and relatable.
