Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.
One night changed them both forever.
Their lives shattered, beyond repair, with jagged edges and pieces askew.
Now, Everly has a chance to make things right. To bring healing to the place where everything fell apart. But it means facing the family her father almost destroyed, and the boy with the dark eyes—now grown—who still haunts her dreams.
Just one breath away from having your life ripped out from under you.
The last thing Hayes wants is another reminder of all the ways he failed sixteen years ago. When Everly drives back into Wolf Gap, his only mission is to get her to leave. For his family’s sake, and for his own, those demons need to stay buried for good.
But everything about this woman is a surprise, from her spine of steel to the sanctuary she hopes to create with the land her mother left behind. And Hayes is powerless to stay away.
As a careful friendship sparks into something more, someone watches. And they’ll do anything to tear it all apart…

After reading several books by Catherine Cowles, I knew this was an author I needed to keep my eye on. And ever since I read almost every book she wrote. So when I heard about a new series, I got super excited. Luckily for me I was picked out for an ARC, and I’ve been waiting patiently for it arrive on my kindle. And when it finally did I started reading as soon as possible.

The Beginning

‘Tattered Stars’ start in the past, when Everly was just a young girl who made a very brave choice. That choice changed her life forever. And it pulled me into the story right away. Sixteen years have passed and Everly moves back to the town she ran away from all those years ago. But a lot of people aren’t so happy she has returned. One of them is Hayes. Hayes is the town Sheriff, and Everly’s return to his hometown makes everything complicated. And he hates her for it.

From the moment Everly and Hayes meet things are complicated. Complicated because of the past, and complicated because there is this instant attraction between the two of them. And Everly has learned to distrust everyone, and she really doesn’t have any one in her life that she can count on unconditionally. But when Everly and Hayes slowly get to know each other better, Hayes realizes he really wants to protect this tough and beautiful woman.

The Middle

There is so much about this book I loved right from the start. The characters, the town and definitely the chemistry between Everly and Hayes. I couldn’t put this book down to be honest. The two main characters Everly and Hayes where just perfect. Everly has had a very rough childhood, and after she made one of the hardest decisions in her life, life only got tougher. And family has definitely never been something she could count on. It was really hard to read about Everly’s family. I just wanted to slap them all the time. Thank god for Hayes and his family. Hayes always felt like it was his responsibility to take care of his family. And soon Everly becomes part of his family. Even though she didn’t see it like that right away.

The End

The romance in this book was definitely a perfect and delicious slow-burn. Boy did I love these two characters. And I definitely couldn’t get enough of them. The romance was wonderful, these  characters, main and side, where amazing and the suspense kept you sitting on the edge of your seat. I loved everything about this read to be honest.

Not to forget.. Have you looked at that cover? Amazing right? I just love this cover!

‘Tattered Stars’ was an amazing, romantic and suspenseful read I couldn’t put down till I read it all. And I can’t wait to read more books in this series.
