Loss, heartache and emotional turmoil create a strong bond between the unlikely pair of Laiken, manager of an art gallery in the small town of Wolf Gap, and Boden, award winning Hollywood actor visiting Wolf Gap for research on a new movie.

I was sent an ARC of the audiobook and it’s absolutely amazing. I can’t recommend it enough. I have never experienced a prologue that wrecked me as much as this did, so from the very beginning, I was drawn into this story and totally intrigued all the way to the end. I shed more than a few tears, admired Laiken’s tenacity and Boden’s protectiveness, and held my breath more than once as tragedy and darkness from their pasts tried to infiltrate this couple’s present and future. This is an emotional read; I’m definitely in the “book hangover” zone from this one.

I didn’t expect the twist and my mind was going in another direction, so wow, Catherine, excellent storytelling once again! Oh and the dogs! Gizmo, Laiken’s chihuahua with wheels to help him get around and Peaches, the mutt Boden rescued from on set in Mexico, totally stole my heart. And that handsome sheriff, Hayes Easton, prominently featured in book #1, Tattered Stars, really melted my heart by his compassion toward Laiken in this story. Sigh. . . Yes, more tears.

This is book #4 of the Twisted and Torn series, each book a 5 star read and listen in my opinion. These are some of the most beautifully narrated books I’ve ever listened to, each will sweep you into the world of the Eastons of Wolf Gap. You’ll never want to leave.
