A grumpy, single dad hero and a nanny that he shares a dark history with.

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!

“It’s you, Blue. You’re the one who bought me out of the ashes. It’s always been you.”

This follows Hallie 25 who went through a horrific situation five years ago and ever since then has dealt with a lot of trauma and trying to heal. But everything changes when she moves to a small town and nanny’s for a police chief named Lawson who is 38 and his three boys between the ages of 6 and 16.

Please be mindful of the contents and themes. I have listed them below. I will say this book is one of my favourites in the series. I appreciate the plot twist of who was responsible for all the harm. I loved the Single dad and his son’s element. Love Charlie and Luke. I loved how we got to see Luke grow in this book and also have a protective side. Don’t get me wrong I like Drew but if I hear Bruh one more time I’ll lose my mind which leads me to find his character was a little repetitive. Like I've said previously if I were a woman in this small town I would leave immediately as you're a target.

I will say the audiobook was brilliant with Ava and Sebastian work well together. Highly recommend the audiobook.
