I cannot tell you how rare it is for me to read an author and think, damn their books truly get better every time but friends, that’s what happens each time I read a Catherine Cowles book. This series is so special, I think it’s the found family piece that really tugs at my heart because the Colson crew has really been through it. Finding out more about both Cope and Sutton’s histories made me love them even more than I did previously and his unconditional and unwavering love for her and Luca was so so sweet. Sutton is so fierce and passionate and she’s the best mom and the way Cope created a family with them was beautiful. The author also always manages to stump me when it comes to the suspense aspect and she did it again here with an extra emotional layer that about broke me. If you like romance in general she’s one of the best but if you specifically like small town, single parent, suspense, hockey, a baker heroine and more this was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
