3.5⭐️ another good read by Catherine! I love her books, the families, the suspense, the love, laughter, all of it. I did rate this one a 3.5 because it didn’t hit me as much as the other ones. Still a good book, I just selfishly wanted more.

I’m ALWAYS going to love a Catherine Cowles book. I love Ellie’s journey of self discovery and the endless support Trace gave her, even when it wasn’t always his jam. I loved how Ellie accepted every part of Trace, even the darkest parts. I would’ve loved the danger to be a little more intense, but it was a beautiful story!
