Vanessa (nessreads)'s Reviews > Shattered Sea

Catherine most definitely knew how to start this book with me shedding tears and my heart in shreds. That prologue kicked me right in the stomach and started the emotional rollercoaster that only added to my already tattered heart throughout the book.

After the small introduction to Laiken in the previous book it had me desperately wanting her whole story. My heart broke for everything Laiken went through and is still haunted by. She’s done her best to move on and live a fulfilling life, but memories of that night still plague her and remind her of what she’s lost. I found Laiken to be so strong, caring, and with the biggest heart and despite everything she’s endured she’s done her best to live life to the fullest.

Boden was a man who also was dealing with his own loss. Escaping to Wolf Gap because of his profession was exactly what he needed for some much needed peace. Though what Boden didn’t expect was to find Laiken, someone who can relate to the same pain he’s feeling and wanting nothing more than to protect her and keep her safe at all costs.

Laiken and Boden shared a connection that was undeniable. I loved the friendship they formed which ultimately turned to something more. I also loved how patient Boden was with Laiken and the fact that he didn’t push her and let her take all the time she needed. Laiken and Boden were perfect for each other and definitely meant for one another.

Shattered Sea was an emotionally beautiful story about opening yourself up to the possibility of a second chance at love. Laiken and Boden’s story was hopeful and heartfelt and just another exceptional addition to the Tattered & Torn Series.
