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

I’m so utterly obsessed with this story and so happy it found me 🥹. It literally kept popping up for me and now I know why. It’s helped me find some much needed peace and was such a sweet and heartfelt story. I loved the character development and plot. I highly recommend and is totally a binge-able story that will have you up all night when you shouldn’t be. 😂

If you are a fan of Catherine Cowles's previous romantic suspense novels, you will enjoy Ashes of You. It is very similar to her other books and was exactly what I have come to expect from Cowles. It had:

* 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.
