FALLING EMBERS (TATTERED & TORN SERIES #2)


 I’ve loved Calder Cruz from the moment he taught me how to fly. Racing down a mountain and giving me the release I so desperately needed. My understanding. My safe space.


Hadley has fought for a life of her own ever since her sister’s kidnapping. When she was drowning in expectations and family pressures, Calder was always the one who understood her.

Until one night changed it all. From best friends to strangers in a single breath.

She’s like a fire that lives inside me. Even when I thought it was all burned out, there were still embers that lived in my bones.

Calder knows what it’s like to almost lose the people he loves most. He’ll never make that kind of mistake again. Working at the fire station and taking care of his daughters are the only things he needs.

All it takes is a single moment to make him realize how wrong he is. A split second of coming close to losing the woman he has always loved.

But as long-buried embers light anew, there are those who lurk in the shadows. And they’ll do whatever it takes to extinguish that flame for good…

Nikki's Review:

I always think the current Catherine Cowles book I’m reading is her best yet. Until the next one comes out. So, right now THIS one is her best! 


I loved Hadley. She’s spunky, brave, loyal, and strong. But under all these great qualities she’s hurting and vulnerable. She was kinda lost. Calder was floundering just as much, but once they let go to be together  it was like they both felt a bit more balanced. Not perfect, but like they could face the difficult things better because they had each other. 


Calder and Hadley had great chemistry. Like scorching chemistry. The I can’t keep my hands off of you kind! Once Calder got his head out of his ass it was on!


Catherine Cowles really digs deep into the intimacy of love and relationships with her characters. Not just the sexy times, but the inner workings of the heart. I always get a well rounded feeling of what’s going on in the characters heads. This book was no exception. As for the writing? I think brilliant is a good word to use. Phenomenal is another one, but I think the best word to describe it is masterpiece. 



Rating: 5 Stars (A+)
