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!

 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.

Hidden Waters was almost as good as Falling Embers. I loved getting to meet the eldest Easton son, Beckett, and experience him falling for Addie. He was also struggling with the past, so it was great to see him and Addie bond over that and help each other. I was also happy Addie to rise above her upbringing away from her horrible dad and blossom. This was such a sweet romance mixed with a side dark romantic suspense.
