Length: 10h19min

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Was this a bad book? No, not at all. The audiobooks was well done and very engaging to listen to. Was this book identical to everything else Catherine Cowles has put out? You betcha. As always, I couldn’t stand the cringey pet names and the heroine in hiding trope. Catherine Cowles girl I beg you, give your female characters a break every so often!! The highlight of the book was definitely the relationship between Cope & Luca (Sutton's son).

-Dual POV
-Book #1 in an interconnected standalone series

I’m glad I picked this up via audio. It was an emotionally heavy read at times, but also surprisingly low on the angst given the CWs. There were a lot of really sweet moments between Preston & Jeremy, and I loved the found family vibes (both with Jeremey’s family and their teammates).

Revisado: 04-30-24

Tropes/Themes:
-MF small town romantic suspense
-Brother’s best friend
-Billionaire hero
-Hate to love
-Friends to strangers to lovers
-Fake dating (her ex won’t leave her alone so he steps in to be her fake boyfriend)
-Forced proximity
-Chronic illness rep (heroine has Type I diabetes)
-Dual POV
-Book #3 in an interconnected standalone series

I hate to say it, but Catherine Cowles is starting to get a tad repetitive for me. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love her writing style and found this book just as sweet and suspenseful as ever. It’s just that her characters and plots are starting to blend together and it’s all getting a little too formulaic for me. Regardless, I still plan on reading everything Catherine Cowles writes though and am super excited for Roan’s book!

CWs for loss of a loved one, cancer, arson, conversations and depictions of chronic illness, gun violence, kidnapping, assault
