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.

CW: domestic abuse, physical abuse, gun violence, kidnapping

I really enjoyed Beckett and Addie. I really like the communication these characters have. I like how they seem to ground each other and let each other be who they need to be. I really enjoyed how Beckett and Addie are together. I found Addie to be an admirable character full of curiosity and love. Beckett had come home to make amends to his family after receiving some new trauma at his latest medical posting. He had to learn to manage some of the long-reaching trauma the family had endured and learn how to move on.
