It’s a good thing these Colsons are such good people because I think I’d have to hide them on a remote island if not. Trouble finds them everywhere they go!

Broken Harbor is an emotional read. I loved Sutton so getting to see her get her happy ending was such a relief, but, boy, did she have to work for it! Cope is such a sweetie, and I’m genuinely glad they found each other, “brokenness and all.”

The final conflict in this book got a little confusing and I had to keep re-reading phrases and paragraphs to figure out what was happening and who was involved, which was a shame. It still had a big impact, just not quite as much as I think it could have because I was too busy checking to remind myself what I’d just read and trying to figure out what was happening.

I know Fallon and Kye’s story has to be coming soon, but I’d very much like to see Arden’s first because I really want to know her story and see her heal, and the same for Linc too.

‘If we’re going to play with fire, let’s not settle for matches. We deserve fireworks and infernos’ - Catherine Cowles 🔥 

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 Stars 

My first Cowles book and I really loved her characters. Sutton was wholesome and deserved the world. Cope was a protective teddy bear - a little overbearing at first but I warmed to him. Their chemistry was on fireeee. 🧸 

The found family unit was SO wholesome. The way the single mum situation was handled was beautiful. I usually struggle when children or pregnancy is bought into a romance, but the way Luca was considered throughout was sweet. 🍬 

Despite blasting through this, I did have to re-read at times - the writing style wasn’t always easy for me. Also, I’m all for traumatic pasts and the implications these have on characters. However, the level of crazy at the end of this seemed a little misplaced for a small town romance. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really enjoyed this one! Liked both Cope and Sutton, and Luca was a cute kid. Liked the suspense in the book as well—a great read.
