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!
