Faults: A Primrose Hill Novel
Welcome to Primrose Hill, where the James family isn't just part of the community-they're the heart of it all.
Here, horses aren't just a passion-they're a way of life.
After a string of setbacks, Addison James has returned home to the Texas Hill Country to chase her dream of running her own farm and finally living life on her own terms. She's sworn off men after a painful betrayal, but finds herself inconveniently drawn to the new veterinarian in town. He's charming, thoughtful, and impossibly tempting. Will her past destroy her chance at a future she never expected?
Dean Adler may come from billionaire roots, but he's done letting anyone dictate his future. Becoming the new veterinarian in Primrose Hill is his chance at a quiet life and a fresh start. Trusting people has never come easy, and relationships are off the table until he finds himself distracted by his new town's sweetheart. If he lets himself fall, he could lose everything he's worked for… but pushing her away feels impossible. Is she worth the risk?
In a town where family means everything, loyalty runs deep, and trust is earned, Addison's and Dean's worlds collide in ways that neither expected. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their connection unexpected.
Can two guarded hearts take a chance on each other?
Or will the past steal their shot at a future worth fighting for?

Brittany Storm's romance, FAULTS hits all the emotions in this well written story debut, set in small-town Texas Hill Country, the book flourishes on commotion, heat, horses, and a family that dominates every page with their opinions and presence! The James family is tremendously loud, and this energy drives the plot from the moment it begins, Addison James returns home battered but determined, chasing independence with dirt on her boots and reins in her hands, this book is addictive in its understanding that tiny towns reinforce everything, particularly mistakes. It's entertaining from the start and keeps the pace up throughout, plus the compulsive prose was phenomenal constructing a masterpiece work!
.
Addison is a horse-riding and horse-training heroine whose movements are practically instinctive, she is cynical, guarded, and intolerant to empty promises now that betrayal has left its mark, watching her establish a future on her own land is addictive because the stakes are unique and accomplished, her voice is sharp and tender! Emotional suspense dwells beneath every scene, tense and restless, I loved how the Author tied many intriguing topics and unfolds each tie to each other in very well-researched analysis!
.
Dean Adler is where the tension develops into something compelling, a millionaire background hangs over him like a shadow he refuses to step back into, and his choice to become a small-town veterinarian feels brave and elegant all at once, he's controlled, cautious, and obviously unprepared for a family like Addison's to enter his life! Their connection is intense and spicy, with sharp banter and a thick layer of maturity, every near-miss seems spectacularly frustrating! The push and pull between them keeps the book interesting, I loved these two magnificent personalities, the Author constructed their heart and brain in such original architecture!
.
Our FMC Addison returns home to start afresh, while the MMC Dean leaves to do the same, and that symmetry flows throughout each chapter, loyalty, trust, and risk are taken seriously as constructed value, the romance builds on suspense and this decision pays off! Brittany Storm writes strongly for her debut publication, utilizing emotion, fire, and humor with sophistication, this is a riveting supsenseful small-town romance that appreciates and builds on its strengths!!!

This book was everything I want in a small-town romance and then some. The FMC is fiercely independent, knows her worth, and doesn’t bend herself to fit anyone else’s expectations—which made her journey so satisfying to read. I loved watching her stand her ground while still allowing herself to fall.
The small-town setting is cozy, intimate, and full of charm, but what really made this story shine was the personal touch of the horse riding. You can feel the author’s love for it on the page—it adds so much depth, atmosphere, and authenticity to the story, and honestly made me want to drop everything and move to a ranch.
And let’s talk about the spice… 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
There is a LOT of smut, and it’s so well done—steamy, addictive, and perfectly balanced with the emotional connection between the characters. It never felt thrown in just for shock value; it actually enhanced the romance.
If you love small-town romance, an independent FMC, horse girl vibes, and high-heat chemistry, this book deserves a spot at the top of your TBR. I devoured it and already want more from this world. 🐎✨
