Wow! This book is hot and angsty af but will also have you swooning. I love a second chance romance and this one was *chef’s kiss* This book really delivers a couple who you immediately are rooting for because they so deeply love and care for each other but at the same time have realistic baggage and history to work through and move past. It’s so well balanced. I love Goldie and Cade! He’s grumpy and a sucker so in love- bonus points for the cowboy vibes. Goldie is very relatable, she is someone readers can easily connect to. I think the jumping between timelines and POVs really enhances the story, you get such a full picture of the couple. I absolutely recommend this book and need everyone to download it asap! I’m so excited to read book 2 later this year.

This. Book. HURTS.
I didn't realize that this book dealt with parental loss in such great detail. The first handful of chapters give you an idea of Cade & Mare's long lost relationship but it goes into intense detail about grieving the loss of Cade & Pippa's mother. I really struggled through this section & could only read a chapter at a time for the first handful of chapters.
The romance between Cade & Mare is so beautiful yet so riddled with pain. I love the dual timeline & being able to experience their feelings as both teenagers & adults! It heightens the emotions even more, which I didn't think would be possible for this book. The side characters are just as incredible and I can't wait for Pippa's story!
Tropes:
- small town
- cowboy x author
- first love, second chance
- best friend's older brother
Thank you to Kat Singleton for sending me an advanced copy to read!

The first 5 to 7 chapters explain the loss of Cade & Pippa's mother and the grieving process that they experience along with Mare (the FMC). It's very difficult to read if you've experienced that kind of loss.rdeardurff's review against another edition

Tropes: Small Town Romance, Friends To Lovers, Best Friends Brother, Found Family, Second Chance, Grumpy
I have waited almost 10 hours to write this review. There is still so much to unpack after finishing this masterpiece.
Let me just start by saying Kat is an absolute DYNAMO! She rocked my world with this story. I was a blubbering mess through a good chunk of this book. Along with anger, swooning and just downright hoping for the best to come. And it did. This book has such a profound impact on me, unlike many others. Im still feeling from the emotions and feelings I had throughout. And honestly I don't know how to express them, other than my adoration for Kat and her writing.
I DO NOT cry while reading books, like hardly ever. But this one broke me, and made me sob like a small child who just had their favorite toy taken away.
Marigold and Caden always had a friendship built in. Pippa being Marigolds best friend and Cade being Pippa's brother. After some serious heartbreak and loss all parties involved learned to depend on each other. I cannot say more than that, because this is a book you need to go into with no expectations. You just need to feel everything the book has to offer.
“I’m tired of fighting myself over how much I think about you. I’m tired of telling myself that I shouldn’t look at my little sister’s best friend the way I look at you. I’m really just tired of pretending that my entire head isn’t full of you and only you.”
With so much on the line for Mare and Caden so many feelings and experiences are rediscovered and felt through and through. Each experience holds a new impact because there is more knowledge about each experience.
This is a 🥵🥵🥵 book. Don't let the sweet cover fool you. It's a phenomenal story with some serious scenes to back up those hard feelings Mare and Caden have for each other. And it's only those scenes where you see how they truly feel and how they show it to each other. At their rawest form they bare their souls to each other.
Thank you so much to Kat for such an amazing experience and a free copy in exchange for my honest review.

“I’d let you hurt me time and time again if it meant you’d eventually find your way back to me.”
When Kat Singleton brought on the emotions with just the prologue, I knew I was going to be in for a ride. Marigold loses her mom at a young age, and her solace and safe haven turns out to be Cade, her best friend's brother. At night, she'll sneak into his room in an innocent way, just wanting that comfort only he can give. The crush she had on him starts growing more and more, and finally Cade starts seeing her as something more. But Cade knows Marigold was made for more than just their small town, and Cade knows he's meant to stay at the ranch.
Fast forward, after living in the city and achieving her dreams, Marigold receives a news that leads her back to the place she hasn't looked back on for years; too much heartbreak happened. And now that she's back, Cade continues to chip away at her heart with all his anger, because she left and never looked back. Will these two be able to rewrite their story or has it been doomed from the start?
“Some days I’m fucking terrified because it feels like you’re the only thing that really matters.”
Cade and Mare's romance gripped me from the start. From their past interactions to the present, we see so much love, want, care... I love when Second Chance romances include a glimpse into the past to really give the reader a feel of everything that went down: how they started, why they ended, and all the details in between. And with Rewrite Our Story, we get that and more! I love the the author would include the flashback chapters at a time in the story that had to with what was going on during the present time; it connected things in a way that made the back and forth flow smoothly.
“I’m tired of pretending that my day doesn’t begin and end with thoughts of you.”
The romance is so equally divided between angst, spice, and tender moments. One minute—or ten—I was fanning my face, and the next, I had my hand to my heart, going through the angsty emotions the characters were experiencing.
“You feel that?”
She nods. “I do.”
“Ask me again if I’m yours.”
“Are you mine?”
“My heart only beats like that for you.”
After reading Black Ties and White Lies, I knew Kat could write some pretty good spice and dirty-talk, but whew! Cade Jennings really said, "I'm going for the crown." I read most of this book in public, so it was tough maintaining a straight face when Cade and his dirty mouth would come into play.
“Just like that. Get familiar with it. I’m going to bury my face in your pu$$y now, Goldie. Take your time with my cóçk. Fúçk, I know I could spend forever getting to know this sweet çûńt of yours.”
And then there are the tender moments that had me choking back a sob. There's a letter that as soon as it appeared, tears started falling down my cheeks (I can't say more, because spoiler). There's also a field of marigolds that Cade would tend to (there's more to this that will have you screaming), the breakfast nook... Then the fact that Cade would carry a picture of Mare inside his cowboy hat every day! I lost it when I read that, because, despite there being anger towards Mare leaving and never coming back, he still loved her with every fiber oh his being, enough to always carry her with him.
“I love you,” I repeat, making good on the promise I made to myself that I’d make sure she knew how much I loved her. [...] The kind of love that lasts past forever.”
I cannot recommend Rewrite Our Story enough! I also can't wait for the next book in the Sutten Mountain series. Just the glimpse the reader gets... *fans face* It's going to be a hot one.
