What a beautiful ending to this beautiful series 😭 I've been waiting for Law's story since book 1 and this delivered!

Law and Hallie are so so perfect and I'm so happy they found eachother. They were both so sweet with the boys too 🥹 Big probs to Cowles for not only writing >10 y/os but teenagers and also writing them well, as a bigger sister to a 17 y/o boy, I can confirm the accuracy.

I found this series at a very dark and weird place in my life (in the hospital xoxo) and while things aren't perfect now, they're better and I'm so glad these books were there for me during it. The Hartleys definitely found their way into my heart ❤

P.S.: I feel like I can't really rate this book lower because of it (bc every romance has it) but jfc, does EVERY couple in EVERY romance have to end up w kids 🙃

This was the perfect ending to this series. There was a lot of build up in the series for Lawson’s story and it delivered. Every book in this series was awesome and so well written. This book had suspense that had me scared (there may have been a nightmare) and heartwarming family moments that literally had me crying.

I also totally called the villain since the last book - I knew I didn’t trust him. I love being right and my smugness is totally showing.

Now I can’t wait for the next series.

Another 5 stars for Catherine Cowles. Her books are always great romantic suspense and what a way to finish the series.

But... After binge reading for of her books, I can say that the end starts to be a little bit repetitive.

A solid ending to what has become my favourite of Catherine Cowles’ series (although I think Fractured sky is still my favourite book of hers overall)

What I especially love:
✅ The Slow burn romance between Lawson and Hallie

✅ Lawson’s boys and their relationship with Hallie

✅ The Single dad/Nanny trope in general. Done perfectly here (bonus for there being an age gap)

It also confirmed something I had been wondering since the last book

I will really miss these characters and look forward to the next series (very excited about the next main character)

This was an AMAZING end to the series. Hallie and Lawson were perfect. And now I don’t know if his story or roans were my favorite. I love how Lawson would always drop whatever he was doing to be there for Hallie and help her through her trauma. And Hallie the way her and Luke’s relationship bloomed was so well written. But Luke oh my heart broke for that boy. When everything he was holding on to came out I cried. And drew talk about comedic relief. The children really pulled this story home for me because Charlie was just the sweetest innocent little boy and the way they all fell in love with Hallie was beautiful. Honestly I was so wrapped up in the story line I didn’t even care that there was basically no spice. It was amazing and that serial killer plot twist didn’t see it coming at all.

“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.

Ashes of You is the final installment of Lost and Found series and boy was it a doozy! The series focuses on each sibling of the Hartley siblings and it’s finally the oldest brother, Lawson’s story to be told.

Lawson is Cedar Ridge’s chief of police. He’s the single dad of three fast growing boys and is looking for a nanny. In enters Hallie Aster, who happens to be the young woman he saved from a psychopath serial killer four years prior. Hallie has never forgotten those blue eyes who rescued her. Because of Hallie’s thoughtfulness and care, she’s hired and she begins to work her way into all of the Lawson’s boys’ hearts, all the while healing her own. But all of a sudden, there are women that are going missing or are found dead again; showing signs that the monster who took and scarred Hallie years ago, is back.

Gah! There were so many things I loved about this story. Hallie was just awesome. It was so heartwarming that Hallie's caring and tenderness helped repair Lawson and his oldest son’s relationship. I really loved that Lawson needed a bit of healing himself and that Hallie was able to provide the care that he needs. Lawson’s three sons were such sweethearts and I thought Hallie did such a good job in melting with their family unit and bringing out the best in each of them.

Trying to find out who the killer was had me second guessing every possible single man that Hallie came across in the story. But I was proud I figured out who the killer was prior to it being revealed. Basically, this book is certainly entertaining and had me gasping with some of the twists it delivered.

The narration by Ava Erickson and Sebastian York was superb by keeping me on the edge of my seat and making Hallie and Lawson come alive.

Thank you to the author for the alc and e-arc. Thoughts expressed in this review are my own.
