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.

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.

“It’s you, Blue. You’re the one who bought me out of the ashes. It’s always been you.”

This follows Hallie 25 who went through a horrific situation five years ago and ever since then has dealt with a lot of trauma and trying to heal. But everything changes when she moves to a small town and nanny’s for a police chief named Lawson who is 38 and his three boys between the ages of 6 and 16. 

Please be mindful of the contents and themes. I have listed them below. I will say this book is one of my favourites in the series. I appreciate the plot twist of who was responsible for all the harm. I loved the Single dad and his son’s element. Love Charlie and Luke. I loved how we got to see Luke grow in this book and also have a protective side. Don’t get me wrong I like Drew but if I hear Bruh one more time I’ll lose my mind which leads me to find his character was a little repetitive. Like I've said previously if I were a woman in this small town I would leave immediately as you're a target. 

I will say the audiobook was brilliant with Ava and Sebastian work well together. Highly recommend the audiobook.

What an incredibly special book. This one had me hooked from the very beginning. 

The strength of Hallie was inspiring. Her character has been through so much, but she is able to move through life without letting her fear hold her back, no matter how difficult it is. 

Lawson has a silent strength that he uses to protect everyone he loves. His heart is so big, and I love that he was so vulnerable about his fear of opening up to Hallie . 

And the BOYS. I dont think I've ever loved child characters in a romance more than I love Luke, Drew, and Charlie. They are all unique and special in their own way. Lukes tenser heart. Drew's infectious optimism. Charlie's sweet innocence. 

It was truly a pleasure reading how Hallie developed special relationships with each of them and helped piece Lawson and his family back together.

And the suspense of the story! It moved at a fast pace, and there were many twists and turns. The storyline is grim and dark, so check trigger warnings. But it was integral to the story and helping make these charactwrs who they are.

What an end to the series. It was perfect, I couldn't ask for more!
