HIDDEN WATERS (TATTERED & TORN #3)

 My family tried to break me. But, somehow, I made it out alive, even though the wounds from that survival are forever carved into my bones. Now, my only wish is for…normal. To know what it’s like to have friends, a job, a home.

The last thing I want is for my new roommate to see the scars I’m so desperate to keep hidden, especially not the ruggedly handsome man who steals my breath and sends my heart into overdrive.

But something tells me that Beckett has demons, too. I see it in the shadows haunting his gorgeous eyes and the way he looks at me with gentle understanding.

As our unlikely friendship becomes so much more, forces from my life slink out of the shadows. And we could both lose everything we’ve fought so hard for—down to our very last breaths…

Nikki’s Review:

I have been dying for Addie’s book since she walked onto the page at the beginning of the series. I knew it was going to be an angsty rollercoaster, and holy hell, was it ever! 

I loved the connection that Beckett and Addie had. They’re both lost and dealing with a ton of emotional baggage. They find some much needed peace and friendship with each other, and eventually love. This book was all kinds of swoony and the chemistry was amazing.

Addie is determined to take control of her life and live it to the fullest. Beckett helps her with her bucket list while being a fierce protector. He is one of my favourite kinds of heroes…alpha, but still all soft and mushy on the inside. 

You get to visit with the characters from the previous books in the series and see how they’re doing. I love the close knit family dynamic and the friendships are wonderful. 

This book has all the ingredients of an amazing romance novel. The suspense is entertaining, but it doesn’t take away from the love story, which is something I like. 

Catherine Cowles writes characters that you care about. She puts them through the wringer but she always makes them come full circle and find their HEA. Is it too early to start asking for the next book in the series?

LIZA'S REVIEW:

Mansplainer is the 3rd book in the Last Man Standing series from Avery Flynn. Nash Beckett is sure he has found a way to meet the terms of the bet and win Grandma Betty’s last Christmas gift. Enter Michelle “Chelle” Finch, who he plans to marry and still go on the 6 dates required to win the bet.

Nash is more than a bit of a know it all…he mansplains everything pretty much to anyone around him. Since he has always had to take care of his family thanks to his wacky parents, it isn’t something he really even realizes he is doing most of the time. When he and Chelle decide to get married to help him win the bet with his cousins, and her meet the terms of her father’s will, so she can continue to run the family’s charity foundation, they both plan for a short-term marriage in name only.

Chelle’s family is absolutely horrible and pretty much have treated her like a second class citizen her entire life. While she is a beautiful woman, she is older (42) and described as a bigger woman, and they shame her about her size and advanced age. Nash is smoking hot, and Chelle really doesn’t believe anyone would want her for herself, but after just one kiss, Nash wants to turn their in name only marriage to more. 

I loved the chemistry between Chelle and Nash so much! It was smoking hot, and it really only made their relationship more real. They had already become real friends with all they shared about their lives. I did think Nash was very slow on the uptake on not mansplaining everything and believing he was always right in actions he took. I liked that Chelle had no issue telling him how much of an ass he was at times when he mansplained too much.

I really enjoyed Mansplainer overall. I had an issue with Chelle being described as older and big as a bad thing. I was really glad she found Nash who saw the beauty in her when others were blind to her beauty. I loved the Last Man Standing series of stories and really hoped we get more books with the Beckett family in the future.
