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

I've wanted to read Cowles' books for a while because her covers always call to me, but I've been scared because of how emotional I've heard they are. Plus, Tanya is always raving about them and Cowles' writing. And she's right. Cowles' writing is great. There is just the right amount of angst and emotions without going overboard. I enjoyed listening to this book. The romance was sweet. Taylor and Walker were great characters along with all the fun side characters there to support them. I kind of guessed where the romantic suspense plot was going, but I was anticipating one last twist. Overall, this was a strong introduction to Cowles' writing for me. I can't wait to continue listening to the series.
