I loved Addie and Beckett's story. Besides Shiloh's book, I think this was the story I was looking forward to the most. Beckett was a secretly tortured hero and Addie's past was definitely a struggle to overcome. Seeing these two become the other's safe space was so sweet. Catherine will always keep you on your toes with the twists in her book!

Such a good book. I love this series. So much trauma and strength. They were definitely made for each other. I may have cried towards the end

addie and beckett’s story is sweet, all while dealing with her dark and haunted past. i’m so glad we finally get to read about the oldest easton brother! in this book we’ve got small town romance, family drama, no third act breakup, and a whole lot of cute adorable firsts.

 4.75 stars. This was really sweet. This is the one of the books in the series that I have been the most interested in so far and to me, it didn't disappoint. Addie and Beckett's relationship was very heartwarming. The little things he did for her was cute. Addie is so strong despite everything she's been through which I liked. This one reminded me of a movie I saw on netflix one time but I can't remember the name. As always I loved the small town vibes and reading about the other characters from the previous books too.

I absolutely loved everything about this - loved Addie and Beckett, the families, the town, the suspense involving Addie's family and the culty side of things. It was just perfect! Definitely my favourite in the series so far (although all 3 have been amazing!) and one of my favourite books of the year so far. 🥰
