Sunny Shelly’s Review: Ashes of You by Catherine Cowles

đź’™ ASHES OF YOU IS LIVE đź’™

Get ready to fall for Lawson and Hallie in their single dad, age gap, nanny, small town romance, from USA Today Bestselling Author, Catherine Cowles!

Five years ago, I nearly lost everything. But there was a glimmer of hope on that darkest night. There was him—a stranger I could never forget.

Now, I’m finally getting the fresh start I’ve longed for. But when I show up to interview for a nanny position in the small mountain town, the single dad has startlingly familiar blue eyes.

Eyes that have haunted my dreams for the past five years.

Lawson Hartley is everything I know I can’t have. Older, handsome, and my boss. Not to mention the shadows in his eyes that tell me he has demons, too.

Still, he seems to understand me better than anyone I’ve ever met. So gentle and careful of my scars, yet somehow making me believe I’m stronger than I ever thought possible.

And when his lips touch mine, I’m lost.

We find what we’ve been missing in each other. But the terrors of my past aren’t done with me yet, and this time, Lawson might not be able to save me…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Catherine Cowles wraps up the Lost & Found series nicely with Lawson and Hallie’s story in Ashes of You!

This story delivers all the feels. There’s that grand tension between single dad Lawson and his younger nanny, which is only complicated by the fact that Law is Hallie’s hero, “Blue,” who rescued her from a deranged lunatic five years ago. They never knew what happened to the other after the night he rescued her, but their worlds collide when she shows up on an interview to be the nanny for his three sons. That backstory just added so much to this single dad, age-gap, nanny romance.

The relationships that Hallie cultivates with the boys are wonderfully created as well. There is depth to all of those bonds, especially with sulky teenager Luke. Hallie gets to him in a way that no one else seems to be able to, and I loved how much he changed as a result of their friendship. I have loved getting to know the Hartley family throughout this series. They love hard, and they surround Hallie with friendship and love, and give her a warm place that she doesn’t have in her own fractured family. I was so glad to see her brother Emmett and his husband be taken into the Hartley family fold!

As with the other books in this series, there is a thread of mystery running through the story, as the serial killer who abducted Hallie seems to be on the loose again. Is it a copycat? Is she actually in danger? There are some twists and turns with that subplot that kept me guessing all the way to the final reveal. Well done!

Sebastian York and Ava Erickson nailed the narration for this audiobook!

While I was sad to see the Lost & Found series come to an end, I’m excited for CC’s upcoming series with Lawson’s friend, Anson!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
