Another hit by Catherine Cowles! After reading her recent two series, it was so sweet to go back to see where it all started ✨ I love the cast of characters we're introduced to here and Taylor and Walker really hit me right in the feels. What I appreciated here so much (and generally in most of Catherine's romances!) is how genuinely nice and caring Walker is. Yes, he has his gruff moments but he's really just a guy who it's so easy to fall for (and of course I did). I didn't see the twist coming at all and just when I'd gotten over it there was twist Nr. 2 and I expected that one even loss — wow! Excited to jump into book 2

Overcoming grief and rediscovering life, while murder lurks about. She's a deliberate loner as she fears facing loss again, and he's the town's golden boy and all-around great guy. Their romance is a simmering slow burn. I struggled with how she's pushing everyone away, but he's *super* swoony. He's so gentle, caring and patient with her. Such a keeper! 

Their romance develops well, and is lovely and emotional in turns. The bit of suspense is intriguing, and the side characters are great. But I didn't like
the 3rd act breakup - she takes a huge step backward, and hurt him badly, which felt unneeded
. Would have rated this higher otherwise.
