4.5

This was the first book I read by this author and I absolutely adored it!

A romantic suspense featuring a FMC who was kidnapped 5 years ago and rescued by a police officer she deems "Blue". In a turn of events she ends up nannying for "blue" and his 3 boys.

Tropes featured:
-single dad/nanny
-overprotective MMC
-forced proximity
-suspense
-slow burn
-age gap

TW: violence, PTSD, kidnapping, mentions of rape, sexual harassment/assault

I'd highly recommend this book!

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)
