Rated BEST BOOK from Long and Short Reviews

It's well known that the McCassey family sticks together and when you mess with one, you mess with them all. Flynn McCassey is no exception to that rule but instead of jumping into a fight with his eyes closed, Flynn is the total opposite. Flynn is the quiet one who knows how to use his persuasion to draw information from others before they even know it. Flynn McCassey is his name and observation is his game.

Missy Grace is Georgia McCassey's best friend. They did everything together. When Georgia comes up missing and everyone says she ran away, Missy knows it's not true. Then when out of the blue Georgia calls Missy, an exciting reunion is soon to follow. With Missy's mother dead, the chance to start a new life is appealing in more ways than one, that is, until the problems of the past once again present themselves. When Missy has to return to Virginia, Flynn is more than happy to accompany her. Flynn knows something is not right and half way to Virginia, Missy tells Flynn the truth and now Flynn must come up with a plan to make sure Missy stays safe.

The McCasseys are one bad-ass family that I could read about forever. This is book 1 in the McCassey Cousins series. Flynn is the quiet cousin that has the art of persuasion about him that can get him much needed information. I loved getting to know Flynn. He is one of the more quiet members of the family but it's just because he formulates a plan before jumping into the middle of something. I loved the scene when Flynn meets Missy, talk about a moment you will always remember! Missy's character is strong, fun and very determined. A perfect fit for the McCassey clan right from the beginning, I couldn't wait to see how their relationship progressed.

When Night Falls was another action packed read that I just could not put down. The characters in the book were simply spectacular and very well thought out. When Night Falls has a fast moving and captivating plot line and I loved revisiting family members from the previous books in the McCassey Series. It felt like coming home. Each and every book is filled with unruly adventures with a promise of action like no other books I have ever read. The characters are rough around the edges and unbelievably loyal to one another. I can't leave out that each McCassey is just as gorgeous as the previous one. Flynn's story did not dissapoint and I found When Night Falls to be a full bodied stimulating novel.

Ms. Sharman writes books that I create a love/hate relationship with. I love to read them and hate to end them. From the first McCassey book to her latest, I simply cannot get enough of this family. I fully expect to see myself reading about future generations of this family when I'm 90. I look forward to each new book and make it a point to seek out any new information on the books in this series that follow. Ms. Sharman simply cannot write fast enough for me. When you read one McCassey book, you will want to read them all, they are just that good. Ms. Sharman smoothly weaves humor with drama in a highly entertaining way with strong bonds and phenomal action. Ms. Sharman is one of my very favorite authors and I strongly urge you to pick up When Night Falls. When you read this book, you will find yourself addicted and buying the rest of the series. So just because I know you will want to read the rest of the books, I have listed them in order.

The McCassey Brothers Series
Book 1 - No Worries
Book 2 - Devils Candy
Book 3 - Dusty Rose
Book 4 - The Long Road Home

The McCassey Cousins Series
Book 1 - When Night Falls
Book 2 - Betrayed

Ms. Sharman, my sincere thanks for bringing a less than perfect family into my life that has amused and entertained me like none other.
When Night Falls is an outstanding book and you are a very talented writer. I anxiously await the next book.

5 Hearts from Night Owl Reviews

The McCassey’s are back in a huge way and they are going to band together like they never have done before. Things are just getting back to normal ever since they found out they have a half-sister. Georgia loves her family and friends. She will do anything she can to make sure her friends are safe. Seeing her only best friend Missy Grace reminds her of all the things she ran away from years ago. Missy needs her bad but knows that her family is shielding her from things. She is running away from her past as well but it won’t leave her alone. Georgia thinks everything is okay but Missy knows if her past is revealed Georgia will do anything she can to help her. She never expected though for Flynn to be the one help her. Missy knows she shouldn’t fall for him until her life is settled yet she can’t help it. One phone call is all it takes to make her afraid again. Going back to her home could either be her death or a chance for a second life. Can Flynn help her?

Flynn McCassey is different from the McCassey men. Instead of badass, dangerous and brooding he is quiet and keeps to himself so unlike the others. When it comes to family he is loyal so when he finds out Georgia’s best friend needs help he jumps at the chance to help. Something about Missy intrigues him. He doesn’t believe in love at first sight yet with Missy anything is possible. He knows she is hiding something but on the way back to her house he feels something arising. Flynn knows she is afraid of going back but seeing firsthand the abuse she gets from Sawyer, her guardian, he wants to help her. Can he protect her from Sawyer before it is too late? Family is important to him but when it comes to the woman he loves he will fight the devil himself to protect his woman.

Oh man I’m so excited and happy that Lauren Sharman created another McCassey family book. I so fell in love with Blackie, Judd, Rebel and Georgia in her previous books and I was just so thrilled to see she is continuing the series with a whole new set of McCassey’s. Flynn is totally opposite of all three men yet you will love him. Quiet and mysterious he is also loyal to his family and will do anything he can to protect the woman he loves. Missy is definitely all woman and a great match for him. Flynn is now my favorite.  I loved that when one McCassey is in trouble the whole family bands together, even Judd the ten-year-old. My heart goes out for Missy though. Seeing the ordeal she went through each day and wishing for freedom was hard to bear. This was a great book by Lauren and can’t wait for more of her books. You will love Flynn and enjoy of seeing all the family back together. Awesome.
