I really loved it, but trigger warnings in the beginning would have been great!
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

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.

CW: kidnapping, panic attack, stalking, violence, murder

I got teary at several spots in this one. I enjoyed reading how Hallie worked with the boys. I enjoyed how supportive the women in Lawson's life were of Hallie. The mystery was well hidden. Not a lot of hints were dropped about the villain. I liked watching Lawson fall for Hallie.

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!
