Faults

by Brittany Storm

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?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely adored this book! A small-town Texas Hill Country setting will get me every single time, and Faults gave me everything I love about returning home, finding yourself again, and falling in love when you least expect it.

Addison has just gone through a devastating breakup and decides to head back home to pursue her dream of opening her own farm and training horses. And honestly? After everything she went through with her shitty cheating ex, she deserved every single good thing that came her way. I loved watching her return to a place where she was surrounded by people who truly loved her and reminded her just how amazing she was after spending so much time being belittled by someone who absolutely did not deserve her.

And then we have Dean… our hot-ass veterinarian MMC. 🥵 Dean has also been burned by past relationships and keeps his heart carefully guarded. What starts as flirting and fun between him and Addison slowly turns into something so much deeper, and I absolutely adored watching their relationship grow.

These two were honestly a match made in heaven. Their connection felt so natural, and I loved them together so much.

But one of my absolute favorite things about this book was the sense of family and community. Addison’s family, especially her siblings, was everything. I loved how connected they all were and how fiercely they loved and protected one another. Then you add in Dean’s brother, Addison’s friends, and the rest of the small-town community, and you get this absolutely beautiful found-family feeling that made me love Primrose even more.

I have a feeling Primrose is going to be one of those places I am more than happy to return to over and over again. Brittany Storm has created a small town filled with characters I already can’t wait to spend more time with.

I can tell this author actually knows about horses and horse showing which was greatly appreciated. The romance was cute, but Dean was just a little off for me. Still an enjoyable read!

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!!!

[Katie Harrell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ll admit, this book caught me completely off guard. Within the first few chapters my jaw was already on the floor, and from that point on I couldn’t stop reading.

Both Addison and Dean are laser-focused on starting over and building their careers, so when their attraction escalates almost immediately, I found myself wondering if the relationship was moving too fast.

But here’s the thing…Brittany Storm completely won me over.

As their story unfolded, every decision made more sense. Their chemistry wasn’t simply physical, it grew out of two people whose lives, priorities, and emotional baggage collided at exactly the right time. What initially surprised me ultimately became one of my favorite parts of the story because it never felt forced.

It felt human.

Addison returns to Primrose Hill after discovering her fiancé of eight years has been unfaithful, determined to rebuild her life and focus on the career she’s always wanted. Then she meets Dean, the town’s newest veterinarian.

Yes, there’s instant attraction. Apparently attraction doesn’t always follow the timeline we think it should (🛁📱😳), and somehow this story made me believe every second of it.

What I loved most was that the romance never relied on chemistry alone. Addison and Dean built something rooted in trust, encouragement, vulnerability, and a genuine desire to see each other thrive.

Dean is a romance boyfriend done right! Despite coming from a famous family where appearances meant everything, all he really wanted was a quieter life built on meaningful work and genuine relationships. He remained confident and masculine while also knowing exactly when Addison needed tenderness, reassurance, or simply someone to stand beside her. That balance is incredibly difficult to write well, and Brittany Storm absolutely nailed it.

And can we talk about Primrose Hill?

This is exactly the kind of small town I love reading about. It feels lived in rather than manufactured. The James family isn’t perfect; they’re simply the kind of people an entire town has watched grow up, celebrate, and quietly become proud of. Success never changed who they were, and I think that’s what made them so easy to love.
The sibling group chat, Ava’s hilarious honesty, and the unwavering love between all four siblings had me reaching for Curveball the moment I finished because I already knew I wasn’t ready to leave this family.

One of my favorite parts of this book was how vividly it played in my imagination. Every scene unfolded so naturally that I never had to work to picture it. Honestly, I don’t even need a screen adaptation because this story already exists like a movie in my head.

As someone who has always had a soft spot for horses, my inner horse girl was absolutely thriving right alongside Addison. My favorite scene to imagine was the jump off at WEF. I swear that was real life slow motion.

Another thing I appreciated was that the conflict never felt manufactured simply to keep the couple apart. I understood both perspectives, and when challenges arose, they were met with honesty, maturity, and communication. It felt refreshingly realistic, which only made me root for Addison and Dean even more. I never felt frustrated or impatient over their conflict.

By the end, I wasn’t thinking about how quickly they fell. I was thinking about how completely I believed they’d make it.

If you love small-town romance with emotionally mature characters, supportive families, meaningful friendships, plenty of heart, and a romance built on partnership instead of unnecessary drama, don’t miss this one.

4.5⭐️

All I can say is? We are Dean girlies to our core🙂‍↕️ and this Dean? Oh LAWDDDDD. BARK BARK

Addison was so dang beautiful. Her love for horses and her love for her job were noticed. Down to her bones she was meant to ride and take care of horses. When the girl got away from the man who will not be named(BOY BOY), she was free and wild to do what she loved best without anyone holding her back. The way she met Dean was CHEFS KISS. That forced proximity babyyyyy that was GOOOD.

DEAN , MY LOVE. A man that shows up and shows out. We love a man that can take care of his girl😚 He was such a softie and his relationship with her family was so heartwarming once everyone opened up. His secrets ran deep but he had good intentions...i dont wanna hear it😛 loved loved loved his character and the way he takes care of her🥹

I liked, but didn’t love…I really wanted to punch Dean in the face, since we as the readers have info that the FMC doesn’t! The third act breakup also made me so mad, it was predictable and drawn out in my opinion. Things that were done really well: the landscape/small town vibe, horse stuff, and the found family. I liked the family group chat and I do want to keep reading since the next book is about the baseball player brother!

This book was perfection! If you grew up reading the “Thoroughbred” series ( cough, I may have collected them all ,cough), then you will absolutely love this! DO👏NOT👏SLEEP👏on this book. It is so beautifully written with fantastic details. It is the perfect combination of romance, SPICE(three peppers) and the horse world. This needs to be a ten book series. Please and thank you.

[Ashley Z · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you’ve ever read the Thoroughbred series, this felt like an adult version of that. I loved Addison’s character development as she learns what the support of a true companion looks like. Dean also had some life lessons he had to work through. His support for Addison’s career and success would make anyone swoon. I of course loved the sibling banter between the James siblings and the friendship between Dean and his brother. This was such a happy read for me.

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this series a little out of order, but I still absolutely loved Faults. This book offers something refreshingly unique: a hot man who loves animals and a woman deeply passionate about horses. That combination felt so original to me and unlike anything I’ve come across often in romance novels. I was invested in every single page.

One of my favorite parts of this book was the closeness between the siblings. Even when miles apart, they remain emotionally connected and endlessly supportive of one another. As an only child, I found myself wishing for the kind of bond Addison and Dean share with their brothers and sisters. That strong family dynamic added so much heart to the story and was a huge draw for me.

Dean’s determination to prove his love for Addison was incredibly compelling. He goes above and beyond to show her that not every man will break her heart. Despite his own difficult experiences with love, he’s patient, steadfast, and fully committed to earning her trust.

I also loved getting a glimpse into where Walker and Farrah’s story began. You can already feel the tension simmering between them as they work through their shared past within the context of family and friendships. The buildup throughout this book is so well done, and the payoff in Curveball is absolutely worth it.

You can truly feel the author’s love and passion for horses in her writing. She describes these beautiful animals and the world surrounding them with such authenticity and care that it’s obvious this comes from personal experience rather than simple research. I learned so much about hunting, jumping, and the dedication this sport requires, and I genuinely enjoyed being introduced to something completely new to me. The way romance is woven into that world made it even better.

Now that I’m caught up with books one and two, I can’t wait to dive into the third installment in this series. I’ve come away with a whole new appreciation for horses and the immense love and care that goes into raising and working with them.

[Kristen]

I absolutely adored Addison and Dean! Addison is such a sweetheart who just got out of a long term relationship and wants to follow her dreams of owning her own farm and training horses. Dean is a veterinarian who moves to Texas for a fresh start. They find themselves attracted to each other but with their baggage from past relationships, they were reluctant to pursue their feelings for each other.

Addison was a very relatable and likable character. She was sweet and loved hard, but was sassy and fierce.
Their chemistry was electric and I quickly found myself invested in their relationship. They were the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Dean had the biggest heart and did the sweetest things for Addi. Their relationship wasn’t perfect and they had to work through their issues to get to a good place.

I loved how close Addison was with her family. The group chats had me dying!! Her brothers were very protective and her sister and best friend were always there for her when she needed them. I felt all the emotions throughout this book! The ending set up the next book, Curveball, perfectly, and I cannot wait for it!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Faults… except making me want to move to Primrose Hill.

I picked up Faults not really knowing what to expect. All I knew was that it was a small-town romance, and I’m happy to say it didn’t disappoint.

The premise is simple: after discovering that her fiancé has been cheating on her, Addie returns to her hometown. Passionate about horses and competitions, she dreams of starting her own business. While staying in her brother’s guest house, she finally begins taking control of her life.

Dean, on the other hand, comes from a wealthy family but has always been passionate about animals. After graduating from veterinary school, he leaves California and settles in Primrose Hill, Texas, to become the town’s new veterinarian.

What I really enjoyed about this book is that, although it starts as a classic small-town romance, it quickly becomes much more than that. The story doesn’t drag, and the plot twists add just enough tension to keep things interesting without taking away from the romance.

The characters are another highlight. They aren’t perfect, and that’s exactly why they work. They make the kind of mistakes that have you yelling at the pages because you know everything is about to go terribly wrong. At the end of the day, they simply feel human, and that makes them incredibly believable.

I also loved how much attention was given to the characters’ everyday lives. We don’t just watch Addison fall in love, we watch her build her business from the ground up, making her journey feel authentic and rewarding.

The pacing is excellent. Every chapter made me want to keep reading just to see what would happen next.

And finally, the siblings completely stole the show. Their banter and group chat had me laughing until the very end. Since each sibling gets their own book, I also appreciated that the author didn’t wait until the last chapter to introduce the next couple. Instead, the groundwork is naturally built throughout the story, making the transition feel organic rather than forced.

Overall, Faults is a charming, heartfelt small-town romance with lovable characters, great pacing, and just enough drama to keep the pages turning. If you’re looking for a romance that balances heart, humor, and family dynamics, this one is definitely worth picking up.

[Natalie Douglas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Faults by Brittany Storm was honestly SUCH an addictive small-town romance debut!

This book has horses, family chaos, emotional baggage, Texas drama, yearning, stubborn people catching feelings against their will, and a veterinarian MMC, so basically Brittany Storm looked directly into my brain and said “yes.”

Primrose Hill feels SO alive from the very first chapter - bad things happen in threes as one of the first lines: yep, I say that all the time. The James family is loud, nosy, loving, messy, dramatic, and deeply involved in everybody’s business exactly like a real small town family should be!

Addison was such a good FMC because she’s strong without trying too hard to be “tough girl” about it. She comes home after betrayal determined to rebuild her life on her own terms, and I loved watching her slowly figure out what she actually wants for herself.

Dean, (gasp) - quiet veterinarian with billionaire family drama trying to escape his old life and live peacefully in a small town? He’s thoughtful, reserved, sweet without being cheesy, and the tension between him and Addison builds so naturally throughout the story. The banter and push-pull between them kept me fully invested because neither of them is instantly trusting or magically healed overnight.

What I really loved was that underneath all the romance and chemistry, this story is very much about starting over. Both Addison and Dean are trying to build lives that actually feel like their own, and that emotional thread made everything hit harder. Brittany Storm seriously balanced humor, family drama, tension, spice, and emotional moments SO well. I flew through this one!

Small town glory

4.75 stars

This was an example of how to do small town romance. It had the great small town feel. The tight knit family was there and absolutely adorable. The characters were extremely likable and so easy to root for along the way. Then it just had a really amazing romance.

What impressed me the most that even though things happened quickly between Dean and Addison I didn’t mind because it felt so genuine. Their connection was very instant, and not just in a physical way. They developed a great friendship first even with the simmering bits of attraction underneath that was very intense, but gave off a soul mate vibe. Seeing them becoming more and more smitten with each other was wonderful. It was clear they were fall in love with each other. It was shown in so many different way. The gestures that Dean performed were great because it really showed that he understood her and loved her for her. It was so beautiful. I loved so much.

The conflict was an interesting one because I didn’t see it coming. The twist blew my mind and made things ten times more intense. It was this build of angst and tension that kept me glued to the pages. I was genuinely worried how it was going to turn out. It made me even more invested in their romance.

It did drag slightly near the end with the conflict and then very detailed descriptions of her competing in her horse jumping, but other than that it was pretty perfect. I loved it and was consumed from the start because I was so connected. It gave me all the feels that I was looking for.

Welcome to Primrose Hill, just small enough that everyone still knows everyone else’s business and doesn’t have any qualms about any of that either!

We are introduced to the James family and the different siblings. This will be a multi-part series in which each book focuses on one of the siblings. We start off our adventures with Addison. She loves her horses and trusts them the most out of any being on the planet. They are faithful and true to you. Even if you don’t know a lot about horses and English riding, you won’t feel lost. Brittany Storm does a great job balancing the details while keeping the story going!

Dean Alder is the new vet in town and of course, their two paths will have to cross. He comes from wealth and privilege, but is striking out on his own to prove to himself that he can do this without the family name and all that it brings.

The tensions run high each time the two meet, but they come to the stable with a lot of baggage and heartache. Can they get past this and see what the future might bring?

Brittany weaves a beautiful tale of two strong characters that have a lot to prove and a lot to lose. You will be wrapped up in all the details and be a cheerleader for these two. Primrose is in the heart of the Texas Hill Country and the details of the area are spot on. Readers will fall in love with Primrose Hill and the James family.

[Ellena J. · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is book one in the Primrose Hill series, and I think it served as a really good introduction to the world of Primrose Hills. The small town vibes and equestrian atmosphere were captured so well, from the horses and pastures to the nosy locals, small local businesses, and lovable side characters. It all felt so cozy and homey, and I really enjoyed being transported there ✨

For me, the story felt more like a celebration of Addison finally making her dream come true, and I loved watching her journey and everything she went through to get there. The romance, however, wasn't my favorite. I found it a little rushed, so I never fully got behind Addison and Dean as a couple. I was also confused and irritated by some of their behavior.

That said, the family dynamic was what stole the book for me. I read about found families all the time, so it was really refreshing to read about an actual close knit family. The James siblings were all so lovable. Walker, Addison's big brother, is such a sweetheart. I'm calling dibs on him 🤭 Ava, Addison's little sister, is such a cool character, and | loved her bubbly personality. Weston, Addison's other big brother, definitely feels like he has story waiting to be told.

I enjoyed their little texts in the group chat, their constant teasing of each other, the way they get into each other's business, and how they still show up for one another when it matters. Witnessing all that was so heartwarming, especially since I come from a big family myself and could relate to that aspect so much 🫶🏻 I'll definitely be continuing my stay in Primrose Hill and reaching for book two. Since Walker has completely stolen my heart, I need to know his story 🥹💖

We live on a ranch in Texas so this book just felt so cozy and relatable to me. I loved the tension/build up of this relationship. I loved watching them both grow and truly be in there element together. The spicy scenes, are perfection! This couple truly is swoony and I loved this book!

Addison clearly is going through a very hard time at the beginning of this book but she is such a strong resilient person and it definitely shows. She stops at nothing to chase her dreams. She falls fast for Dean and it scares her to fully trust him. I loved watching her become the person she was before her horrible ex.

Dean really struggles with his past relationship and moving forward into the potential of another relationship. Once he feels comfortable sharing the story the reasoning makes total sense. But Dean doesn’t stop trying to show Addison what love is like even if it scares him. He tries so hard to fight the pull but once he finally gives in he just wants to protect her.

This book was so good and I highly recommend it !! But also be prepared to cry because I did that multiple times!

Prepare yourself to fall in love with Primrose Hill and the James family. 🤍

Addison has returned home after the end of her eight-year relationship, determined to build the horse farm she's always dreamed of and finally live life on her own terms. Dean is the town's new veterinarian, equally determined to leave his billionaire upbringing behind and create a life that's truly his own.

Neither of them is looking for a relationship.
Dean is actually very clear from the beginning, he doesn't do relationships.

I loved watching these two fiercely independent, stubborn people slowly lower their walls. The chemistry between them is undeniable and the tension could only be described as delicious!

Okay, Dean Adler. I get the hype now. He completely stole my heart. He's thoughtful, dependable, quietly protective, and the ultimate acts of service book boyfriend. And that mouth? 🔥 Let's just say the chemistry between these two absolutely delivers. (The bath scene... IYKYK.)

Dean Adler has officially earned a spot on my book boyfriend list!

Addison and Dean challenged each other, supported one another, and became exactly what the other needed, even when they were determined not to.

Even though I started this series with Curveball (Book 2), Faults has completely cemented Primrose Hill as one of my favourite small-town romance worlds. I'm officially invested in the James family, and I already can't wait to go back.

Highly recommend this book and series!

- faults, by brittany storm -

This is my second Brittany Storm book - I read them in the wrong order oops!

This is a small town romance with Addison, who is trying to open her own training ground and Dean the local vet.

Addison goes to check out new possible horses and takes Dean with her... their relationship begins to grow from there (although the attraction was from the get go!). Addison is fleeing a broken relationship with a guy of 8 years and Dean is growing his own life away from his rich family.

Addison and Dean's relationship is a really strong friendship where Dean shows up for Addison every time he can - he supports with moving over to the training space, checks out all of the family horses and checks in with Addison regularly.

Their relationship builds and the SPICE ahhh!! Love me a Brittany Storm scene hehehe

Now I'm not a HUGE lover of the miscommunication trope and this one you can see coming... however, I can kinda understand Dean's reasons so therefore I don't HATE it hehehe... and I very much enjoy their relationship rebuild!

Looking forward to getting into the next instalment which will be number 3... wait for the review!!!

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. 🐎✨

i LOVED this book so much!! i am already so attached to all these characters and can’t wait for their stories. first i need to talk about the setting because the farm life with the horses was so amazing. it made me want to move to the countryside and learn how to ride a horse.

i really liked addison. she was such a fun and likable character. her relationship with her siblings and family made me so happy. she was also such a strong fmc and i related to her trust and commitment issues. i loved all the james siblings!! walker was such a fun character and i am so excited for his book next!! weston was so mysterious and broody so obviously im excited for his book. i need to know what’s going on inside his head!!! ava was also so fun and such a sweet and loving sister!

This was such a cute love story! Dean and Addison’s chemistry was undeniable from the moment they met. They were both seeking similar things in life and I liked that. He wanted to make something of his self instead of relying on his family money and she wanted to make her dream of having her own business doing something that she truly loves. Her coming back to her hometown to her family after the breakup with Noah was just what she needed. The James family really know how to support and rally around their own. The way they show up for each other is something special. When reading this, you can tell that the author really knows what she was talking about when it came to horses cause he doesn’t read as it was just researched and put together, it flows perfectly. I absolutely despise Noah and wish him nothing but the worst. The fact that him and Dean were cousins was mind blowing. Good little twist. I absolutely can’t wait to see what this series becomes and will definitely be looking forward to anything Brittany writes.

I fucking haaaaaaate Noah. So much.

Oh my goooodnessss, Dean. Under that friendly, vet exterior is a dominating freak and I AM HERE FOR ITTTTT. He makes me blush.

Although I can’t express how much he raised my blood pressure. I was screaming “JUST TELL HERRRRR” at my kindle like he could hear me and I could change the implosion that I knew was coming.

Also, what is it about a slicked back pony that makes a woman feel like the most powerful bitch in the world? I swear you could tell me to go to war and all I’ll need to do is a high slick back to feel ready 🤣

Thought I was gonna vomit when Noah showed up. DAMNIT DEAN, I TOLD YOU TO TELL HER! This is what I yelled at my kindle, in case you were wondering.

This story stressed me out but in all the best ways and was so worth it. The ending was amazing and my heart was so happy. Bravo, Brittany, I wish I had read it before Curveball (so don’t be a jackass like me, go in order) and it makes me SO excited to see where this series is going.

I stayed up WAY past my bedtime to finish Faults and I have no regrets. It was so good!

Small town, witty banter, spice, and family bonds 💜

Addison has to work for her HEA and she earns it. Life hit her hard, all at once, but instead of throwing in the towel- she builds her dream life. She is determined to bring joy and find herself. Her family is SO supportive and is there for her in all ways. Their text threads are hilarious family banter and I loved it.

Dean is hot! His dirty mouth always has perfect timing. But he is also such a good man. He admits when he's wrong, doesn't push his way in, and proves himself by always showing up.

The first bath tub scene 🥵

Also, I love Harper and Archer. From playboy/girl to lovers, they make a perfect pair. I love how confident they are in themselves and as a couple, they make a perfect pair. They need their own book (or atleast appear in more of the series)!

If you're into small town, southern vibes, baseball romances, and spicey romcoms these books are for you.

So technically I read these backwards after being introduced to Brittany Storm through Curveball (book two in the Primrose Hill series)… and I have zero regrets because it led me here!

I loved Curveball so much that I had to go back to the beginning, and I’m so glad I did. Dean and Addison completely stole my heart. Their chemistry was undeniable from the very first time they met, and it only got better from there.

One of my favorite parts was the sibling dynamic. The banter between them was hilarious, heartfelt, and felt so authentic. Their relationship added so much depth to the story.

The chemistry….Off the charts. The spice started early, and I was absolutely here for it.

If you love small-town romance, close sibling bonds, flirty banter, instant chemistry, and plenty of spice, this one is definitely worth adding to your TBR!

4.5 Stars!!

Don’t sleep on Faults. I almost did. 🤍

I received an ARC of Curveball (book two), and because I was on a bit of a time crunch, I jumped right into it. I'm so glad I circled back to where it all began because I absolutely loved Dean and Addison's story.

After the end of a long-term relationship, Addison returns to Primrose Hill looking for a fresh start and a chance to rediscover herself. That's where she meets Dean, the town's new veterinarian.

Dean is the definition of an acts-of-service MMC—kind, patient, and fiercely protective. But it's the side of him that only Addison gets to see that really stole the show. And yes... that filthy mouth deserves an honorable mention. 🫠🔥

Gosh, I just adore the James family. Walker and Weston are the protective brothers everyone wishes they had, I loved Addison and Ava, and their sibling group chat had me laughing more than once.

Let this be your sign to start the Primrose Hill series before book three releases this September.

What a strong debut!! I can't wait for my next visit to Primrose Hill.

I'm so grateful Brittany took a chance on me as an ARC reader because I've completely fallen for this series and the James family.

If you love heartfelt small-town romance, lovable family dynamics, an acts-of-service MMC, and just the right amount of steam, this series belongs on your TBR. 🤍

Thank you Brittany Storm for adding me to your ARC team for book 3 in this series, Verdict. I quickly went to your debut novel, Faults, and book 2, Curveball to catch up on the series. I AM HOOKED! I'm a huge new fan, and so happy to support your novelist journey. I can't stop thinking about these characters.

Faults is a contemporary small-town romance in Texas Hill Country. The Primrose Hill series, with book one having the following tropes:
Small-Town
Billionaire
Forced Proximity
Meddling Family
Healing After Heartbreak
Protective Hero

Addison James & Dr. Dean Adler

Addison is a tough girl, horse trainer in the equestrian world. She returns to her hometown after a painful break up of an 8 year relationship, and fiancé who cheated. Her dream is to open her own equestrian farm, and that comes to fruition. Due to the heart break she swears off men, until....

Dr. Dean Adler, an extremely wealthy and charming, but guarded new vet in Primrose Hill. He wants a quiet small-town life far away from the wealthy chaotic world he grew up in. He is not looking for a relationship either.

Their careers force them in to contact, and the instant chemistry is hard to deny. In the midst of chemistry they need to learn to heal and trust again.

This is a horse world, small town series you do not want to miss.

This is a great small town romance read. Addison James, moves back home to Primrose Hill in Texas after catching her fiancé cheating on her. Not only that she works for his families company in Boston and gets let go.

Wanting to focus on her dreams of having a horse training facility and get back to competing she meets the hot new veterinarian in town, Dr. Dean Adler. Dean comes from a rich family and was a known playboy so Addison is hesitant with her feelings.

These two have an instant attraction, but when he finds out who her ex fiancé is and knows him, he makes a big mistake of waiting far too long to tell her.

What to expect: Great spice, betrayal, secrets, second chance, found family and so much more!

I read these all backwards but I can say that Brittany doesnt write a bad book!! Just like the others this was too good to out down!

Dean, my goodness the mouth on him 🤭😏 and the fact that he didn’t let his families money dictate his life speaks to his character!

Addison, the boss queen she is!! She leaves her ex Noah (rightfully so) after she catches him cheating (i despise him) and moves back home to start up her own business! She didnt let anything stop her from achieving her goals

I love that Brittany writes stories that are realistic and dont feel artificial, everything flows together! Cant wait for book 4 😉

I absolutely loved this first book in the Primrose Hills Series! So much so, I finished it in a day, completely attached to my kindle. I absolutely loved Dean, and couldn’t get enough of him! He had this whole sexy vet doctor thing going for him that I was totally here for! And let’s not forget Addison! She was such a stand out FMC! I’m so excited for the rest of the James’ siblings books and will be starting book two in the series right away!

Highly recommend if you love found family, meddling siblings, swoon-worthy MMC’s, and funny texting banter. Oh and how could I forget the spice?! 🥵🔥

Thanks to Brittany Storm for writing my new obsession! 🫶🏻😉
