Ashes of You by Catherine Cowles
5.0

I have been waiting for this book for what feels like forever, but at the same time how are we already at the end of this series?! 😭 Being without a Catherine Cowles book to read for the next few months is sad lol, maybe I shouldn’t have flown through her backlist as fast as I did. Anyway, this one was everything I had hoped for and more, I had such high expectations for Lawson’s book and it did not disappoint. This has age gap, forced proximity, single dad and nanny/boss and I swear the author makes me feel like I’m reading these tropes for the first time. SO good. I already loved Lawson and kids from the previous books but his boys really stole my entire heart by the end. So pure and sweet and their developing relationship with Hallie was everything 🥹 Lawson may be my new favorite CC hero, finally finding out about his past and how that has shaped him into the man he is now was heartbreaking but also made so much sense. And then the suspense, are you kidding me?! That angle was so perfect and the tension was so high I about couldn’t handle it in the end. I don’t want to say more because CC got me really good and I was you to be able to experience it yourself but suffice it to say I absolutely loved everything about this bittersweet end to a beloved series.
