Review

What to Expect:
⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ mystery ➺ ➺ suspense ➺ roommates to lovers ➺ single dad ➺ found family ➺ small town ➺ tragic past ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

The thing about this author is that I don’t think the romance is the center of her stories. Not that this is a bad thing, not at all! Just that as a romance junky that I am, I expect more romance when I pick a book to read. I also found myself so frustrated by the repetitiveness. It made the story drag on. I don’t think I will continue reading her anymore. Catherine Cowles isn’t an author for me.

Starlight Grove Series:

Across the Vanishing Sky
Into the Fading Twilight
Beneath a Midnight Moon
Through the Gathering Storm
Within the Starry Silence

Blurb

She’s known nothing but darkness for 413 days…but he’ll burn down the world to save her.

After a year in captivity, Nova Monroe is back in Starlight Grove—but she’s not the same woman who vanished. She lives on the edge, chases adrenaline, and refuses to be caged again. Cliff diving. Mountain biking. Anything to feel alive and outrun the memories clawing at her.

But the single dad with shadows of his own won’t let her face it alone. Especially when she finds herself needing a place to stay.

Kol Archer has made it his mission to protect her. As a Forest Service investigator, he’s no stranger to rugged terrain or battling for control. But nothing prepared him for Nova—her fire, her fight, the way she makes him feel something he thought was lost.

The closer they get, the more dangerous things become. Someone doesn’t want Nova to move on. And Kol is determined to stop them—no matter the cost.

Because for the first time in forever, Nova’s not just surviving. She’s learning how to live, how to trust, and reminding Kol he can, too. But as darkness looms, the truth could destroy them both…
