[Blog Tour + Review] Falling Embers by Catherine Cowles


“A top must read for 2022”
—Samantha Young, NYT bestselling author

FALLING EMBERS, an all-new second chance romance filled with suspense from Catherine Cowles, is AVAILABLE NOW!!



ABOUT THE BOOK.

I’ve loved Calder Cruz from the moment he taught me how to fly. Racing down a mountain and giving me the release I so desperately needed. My understanding. My safe space.
 
Hadley has fought for a life of her own ever since her sister’s kidnapping. When she was drowning in expectations and family pressures, Calder was always the one who understood her.
 
Until one night changed it all. From best friends to strangers in a single breath.
 
She’s like a fire that lives inside me. Even when I thought it was all burned out, there were still embers that lived in my bones.
 
Calder knows what it’s like to almost lose the people he loves most. He’ll never make that kind of mistake again. Working at the fire station and taking care of his daughters are the only things he needs.
 
All it takes is a single moment to make him realize how wrong he is. A split second of coming close to losing the woman he has always loved.
 
But as long-buried embers light anew, there are those who lurk in the shadows. And they’ll do whatever it takes to extinguish that flame for good…

READ AN EXCERPT.

Heat flared to life in Hadley’s eyes, a mix of anger and frustration. She whipped her shirt over her head, leaving her in nothing but a pale pink lacy bra. I wasn’t blind. I knew that Hadley had curves, that she was beautiful, but the sight in front of me had my mouth going dry. I fought the urge to lean in closer.

“Cat got your tongue?”

I scowled at Hadley through the mirror. “Took me by surprise is all.”

“Sure.”

I returned my focus to her back, cleaning each scrape meticulously. “Hold your shirt to your chest?”

“Too much boobage on display for you?”

I chuckled, the sound a little rougher than normal. “I need to unhook your bra. That might be too much boobage for you.”

Hadley rolled her eyes but held her t-shirt to her chest, keeping her bra in place. I unhooked the little tines, letting it fall open. I cleaned the rest of the gashes and moved for the antibiotic ointment. As gently as possible I spread it over the worst of her scrapes.

Hadley trembled slightly.

“Did that hurt?”

“No, I’m fine.”

But her breathing was more shallow than usual. Her gaze focused on the counter in front of her. Apparently I wasn’t the only one affected.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent Addition to the Series

I’m this second book of the Tattered & Torn series, we set our sights on Calder and Hadley. While we got the gist of them in book one, it’s their time to shine.

This is definitely an opposites attract story. Calder is a firefighter that has been burned in the past by a woman, no pun intended, but to say his guard is up is putting it mildly. He’s the father of two little girls which also keeps his guard up. He is a close friend of Hadley’s family, so he knows what she’s been through as well. Unlike Calder, Hadley is looking to take a risk, looking to keep her blood pumping, looking to feel alive. Even if she does some dangerous things chasing that high.

While predictable, I enjoyed the story of Calder and Hadley. They had so many hurdles to jump to find happiness, it was a wonder if they were ever going to get there.

The book is well written with a little sexy, humor and angst to move it along. Calder and Hadley are joined by friends and family, which is something I love in a series like this.
