Obsession Falls by Claire Kingsley is NOW LIVE!
He’ll risk it all to protect her.
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why.
It’s bad enough that she’s back in Tilikum. But Audrey’s good at making the best of things and her new job at the small-town newspaper is just a way to get back on her feet.
Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven.
She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it.
She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it, or why.
For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.
She’s just the girl next door. Fine, the frustratingly hot girl next door. But Audrey is all sunshine and her goofy dog isn’t any better. Josiah is too stoic. Too solitary. Too guarded. He doesn’t need a woman in his life, especially one who threatens to crack his heart wide open.
But Josiah is a protector and he can’t let Audrey’s troubles go unanswered, even if he has to risk everything—his life and his heart—to keep her safe.
Author’s Note: a grumpy loner meets his match in a sunshiney dog lover who’s a little down on her luck. And once he falls, he falls HARD. It’s small-town romantic suspense with CK’s signature humor, endearing characters, and heartwarming happily ever after.
Obsession Falls can be read as a stand-alone.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Ah, it was so good to be back in Tilikum! And it was so nice to get to know you, Josiah Haven!
Obsession Falls is the first book in the new Haven Brothers series by Claire Kingsley, which is a spinoff of the Bailey Brother series, and takes place about 6 years after Annika Haven and Levi Bailey brought the two feuding families together. I absolutely fell in love with Josiah from the prologue. My heart broke for him! Between his dating history and his bio mom abandoning him, it’s no wonder that Josiah had sworn off love. But when Audrey moves into the rental property next door to the house he’s renovating, he’s immediately drawn to her. And when it comes to light that someone is stalking Audrey, this grumpy lumberjack goes all alpha male in protecting her.
I adored the relationship between Josiah and Audrey. Such a nice friendship forms between them at first, as they both deny the growing feelings between them. She’s recently moved back to the area and only plans to be in Tilikum temporarily, and he has sworn off relationships. Yet somehow, they turned out to be exactly what the other needed. Josiah and Audrey’s first kiss may have knocked Chase and Brynn (Forbidden Miles) off my favorite first-kiss list!
In the midst of all the swoony and sweet romance, Claire Kingsley weaves in the captivating suspense of Audrey’s stalker. There are some twists and turns as to the stalker’s identity, and the whole heroine-in-danger really brings out the protective side of Josiah. For a guy who isn’t very good with showing his emotions, Josiah really turns out to be quite the ideal boyfriend!
As a fan of the Bailey Brothers series, I loved the cameos by the Baileys, especially the scene toward the end when Josiah goes to Asher’s house for some advice. And the Tilikum squirrels are back in action! Can we give an honorable mention to Aunt Louise? She reminded me of Betty White’s character in Hot In Cleveland, and I can’t wait to see more of her meddling!
Obsession Falls was a wonderful start to a new series, and I can’t wait to meet the rest of the Haven brothers! Connor Crais and Ava Erickson did a marvelous job bringing Josiah and Audrey to life. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Claire Kingsley is an Amazon #1 bestselling author of sexy, heartfelt contemporary romance and romantic comedies. She writes books with sassy, quirky heroines, swoony heroes who love their women hard, romantic happily ever afters, and lots of big feels.
