This was the first book I've read in this series. Luke, Drew and Charlie just stole my heart! I expected something completely different, but I really enjoyed it! Think I have to buy the paperback for my shelf and I absolutely have to read Aspens story.
I wasn't a fan of the epilogue, but I guess that's a me thing and I can just pretend it wasn't there

* a woman recovering from a traumatic experience/situation
* moving to a small town to heal in the beauty of the mountains and nature
* she falls for a man who is one of many siblings of a big, supportive family
* he falls just as hard for her, gives her a cringy pet name, and will do anything to protect her
* her past comes back to haunt, chase, and capture her
* hero saves the day
* an HEA.
Despite feeling pretty much like every other Cowles book I have read, I enjoyed it. Hallie was a sweetheart and her falling for Lawson and his three boys was sweet. The dynamics between them all were a lot of fun. It was nice getting to know Lawson better and find out more about his single father status. The entire Hartley clan showed up for support and it was great to see them again. The serial killer part of the book wasn't surprising, but did add a fun, low level of suspense. Ashes of You was an entertaining read.
