There is a lot to love about this book– the romance, the suspense plot, the protagonists, and the kids (!!!). As with many of Cowles' works, as I have come to learn, this book offers a perfect blend of romance and suspense, drawing readers into a richly woven narrative that is both emotional and heartwarming.
I love the romance between the main characters. Despite their difficult and traumatic pasts, they are both determined to overcome them. The journey to healing wasn't easy or smooth-sailing but it was all worth it.
That being said, my favourite characters have to be the kids. Luke, Drew and little Charlie stole my heart from page 1. I love that the boys all have different quirks and personalities. Luke's character development throughout the book definitely tugged on my heartstrings, and there were a few moments that made tears well up in my eyes.
This book was well-paced, offering a good balance between romance and suspenseful intrigue. The twists and turns kept me engaged the entire time, so much so that I had the Kindle in my hand throughout dinner.
The emotional depth, well-crafted characters, and engaging plot make it a standout read that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Do yourself a favour and go pick up this book– or any of Cowles' other works!
