Such a good book. I love this series. So much trauma and strength. They were definitely made for each other. I may have cried towards the end

I read it in a stand-alone.
I think I missed some information or story aside.
Overall, I found it moderately good.
The resilience is not as possible as it is described.
Please read the trigger warning. Some part can be hard to read.

Hidden Waters was almost as good as Falling Embers. I loved getting to meet the eldest Easton son, Beckett, and experience him falling for Addie. He was also struggling with the past, so it was great to see him and Addie bond over that and help each other. I was also happy Addie to rise above her upbringing away from her horrible dad and blossom. This was such a sweet romance mixed with a side dark romantic suspense.
