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.

emotional hopeful mysterious

5.0

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.

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)
