I loved that Addie was a strong lead. Despite her past she made it a point to branch out on her own. Even though Beckett wanted to put her in a bubble, he didn't stunt her growth and understood when she needed to do things on her own. I think that was my favorite part of this story. That, and the communication the two main characters had with each other. They were always honest about their thoughts and feelings which really helped their relationship progress as quickly as it did.
Catherine Cowles is absolutely becoming one of my favorite authors.

I loved Addie and Beckett's story. Besides Shiloh's book, I think this was the story I was looking forward to the most. Beckett was a secretly tortured hero and Addie's past was definitely a struggle to overcome. Seeing these two become the other's safe space was so sweet. Catherine will always keep you on your toes with the twists in her book!

I was so excited to read about Addie and Beckett and those two are just perfect for eachother. This was one of those books I literally put everything else down for to read, it had me HOOKED.
Addie's finally free of her family's clutches but she still carries a lot of mental and physical scars and Beckett is so considerate of her history with abuse, I know it's literally just basic human decency but it still made me tear up every time, okay.
I wish we could've touched a bit more on Beckett's time abroad and his own trauma, as Addie did get most of the trauma space allotted here but other than that, I really really loved this book ❤
Was hoping for a book on Officer Young but Laiken's gonna be fun, too!
