A grumpy, single dad hero and a nanny that he shares a dark history with.

There is a lot to love about this book– the romance, the suspense plot, the protagonists, and the kids (!!!). As with many of Cowles' works, as I have come to learn, this book offers a perfect blend of romance and suspense, drawing readers into a richly woven narrative that is both emotional and heartwarming.

I love the romance between the main characters. Despite their difficult and traumatic pasts, they are both determined to overcome them. The journey to healing wasn't easy or smooth-sailing but it was all worth it.

That being said, my favourite characters have to be the kids. Luke, Drew and little Charlie stole my heart from page 1. I love that the boys all have different quirks and personalities. Luke's character development throughout the book definitely tugged on my heartstrings, and there were a few moments that made tears well up in my eyes.

This book was well-paced, offering a good balance between romance and suspenseful intrigue. The twists and turns kept me engaged the entire time, so much so that I had the Kindle in my hand throughout dinner.

The emotional depth, well-crafted characters, and engaging plot make it a standout read that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Do yourself a favour and go pick up this book– or any of Cowles' other works!

Finally a series saves the best book for last! This whole series was phenomenal, but Law and Hallie take the best couple award. I’d been looking forward to Lawson’s book since the very beginning of the series and it didn’t disappoint! It did the age gap and nanny tropes so well and also the mystery was one of Cowles best EVER!

The “surprise I’m pregnant!” epilogue in 3 of the 5 books was lazy and annoying

If I could give Hallie and Lawson ♾️✨ It wouldn’t be enough!! The only thing I would change is that I wish there was more! I love Catherine’s books and her characters always feel like friends, but the deep emotional connection to Hallie and Law is just *chef’s kiss* perfection.
