This one was good it did have a fair few similarities to the first one and the raunchy scenes went by too fast just like in the first book. But I  loved Nash. I do think the danger scenes all happened back to back which was alot but it was still good.

Another five star from Catherine Cowles!! 

This is a friends to lovers romantic suspense. And this one cuts deep. 

Maddie comes back to Cedar Ridge after leaving her abusive ex. Her strength is astounding even after everything that happened to her. Her love for Nash runs so deep since they’d been best friends for their entire lives. The trauma they’ve endured together is insane.

Nash loved Maddie with everything he is. His guilt for what happened to her is so heartbreaking to see (especially when he finds out why she finally left him💔). All he wanted was to protect her from all the evil in the world & he does just that🥺 

Their happy ever after is the best. You HAVE to read this, it’s so emotional & amazing 🫶🏼

Also, that plot twist… I 100% did not see it coming

Read this through in one sitting because this is a story that hit so close to home for me. 

Cowles shows again that she knows how to write three-dimensional victims of abuse because yes, most of the time we seem just like any other person but we're also really fucked up 🥴 

Nash and Maddie are so perfect for each other and even though it's taken them literal decades to finally admit their feelings, you can tell how they've always been the other's nr.1, even when they were "just" friends. 

Definitely a new comfort book 🫶🏻

This follows Maddie and Nash. Maddie runs back to her hometown to hide from her abusive ex and rebuild her life. Nash and Maddie have been best friends since childhood and he would do anything to protect her. Now Maddie has returned, old wounds are bought up and the love they have for each other can they resist for long.

I enjoyed this story and I love how you feel all the emotions the characters were feeling. The plot was great and love all the characters.
The only few things I need to mention is Nash in the first book was quite funny and lighthearted. I was hoping it would show in this book but it was more serious. Also, there is one incident that is a big deal in this book that is very similar to a scene in the first book. My heart wasn't pounding in this book like it did in Whispers Of You. But I still really enjoyed this read!
