Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I don’t know why I’m surprised every time I read a Catherine Cowles book and absolutely love it, but I am! Cope, Sutton, and Luca’s story was captivating, from start to finish, filled with sweet and tender moments in between.

Sutton and Cope’s meet-cute is more like a hate-cute — they definitely get off on the wrong foot when they meet outside of her son’s hockey camp where the NFL pro is coaching. Cope is immediately smitten with the intriguing woman he nicknames “Warrior” and I so enjoyed the journey these two characters went on. Sutton is carrying physical scars, and Cope mental ones; the way they help each other heal and work through that trauma is beautiful. Cope is such a swoony hero, and the way he connects with Luca totally gives him extra book-boyfriend points.

Connor Crais and Erin Mallon are at the top of the audiobook game, and they did a great job in sharing the story of these broken characters.

I have loved getting to know the Colson family. My heart broke for Cope and all the guilt he’s been carrying around ever since the car accident years ago that killed his father and brother!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
