Jamie Engel's Reviews > Ashes of You

This is the last book in Catherine’s Lost & Found Series and she went out with a bang. This was by far my favorite of the series and probably my favorite Catherine book ever! I am absolutely obsessed with Lawson and Hallie.

This story follows Lawson and Hallie. Lawson is the police chief and a single dad to 3 boys. Maintaining his job and personal life has been a struggle, so he decides that he needs to hire a nanny. However, Hallie ends up coming for an interview and she and Lawson have a past. He ended up being the one that saved her from something tragic. Hallie immediate forms a connection with each of Lawson’s sons and ends up helping them each in their own way. Of course the longer Hallie is the nanny the stronger the connection between her and Lawson becomes….

This story was so done so beautifully and Catherine has been the only author that has made shed literal tears while reading. Catherine writes suspense in such a way that always has me on the edge of my seat and I was literally on the floor with this book’s plot twist.
Lawson and Hallie were so perfect for each other. I absolutely loved how Lawson could pull Hallie out of her panic attacks and how incredibly patient he was with her. Their chemistry, banter, tension…absolute perfection!!! They were soulmates!! Will never be over their story!

Thank you to Catherine and team for eARC. I cannot wait to read the next series. If there is one author that I can make you read please let it be this one.
