Reading On The Prairies,
I couldn’t wait to read this book-it sure didn’t disappoint! Grumpy, broken-broody hero meets single mom who has been hiding a secret。 Then animals start to turn up murdered。 You can’t put it down until the end。 It was just so good and a must read。 I can’t wait for the next book in the series!!!

Joanne,
Once again Ms Cowles delivers another authentic and inspiring story of love and discovery。 A mothers love and one man’s difference and compassion。 These three make for the most wonderful family。 They start as friends and love comes after。 I adored the daughter in this family。 Watching the relationship evolve between Roan and her was special。 As always Catherine tugs at your heartstrings whilst keeping you on the edge of your seat too。 Fabulous book and series。 The audible narration was excellent Once again Ms Cowles delivers another authentic and inspiring story of love and discovery。 A mothers love and one man’s difference and compassion。 These three make for the most wonderful family。 They start as friends and love comes after。 I adored the daughter in this family。 Watching the relationship evolve between Roan and her was special。 As always Catherine tugs at your heartstrings whilst keeping you on the edge of your seat too。 Fabulous book and series。 The audible narration was excellent。 It totally enhances the story for me 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Good Story - Annoying writingWhy on earth did roan have to speak like a cave man?The story was good。 The formula the same as the other books。 Boy meets girl! Girl has secret! Girl gets kidnapped in and saved in the end and someone gets shot。 I loved roans and aspens dynamic and that they didn’t have unnecessary drama and communicated well。
Marcie,
The Lost & Found series is my favourite series so far by Catherine Cowles。 Roan and Aspen were just absolutely magic and he really stepped off the page as a full fledged character to me。 I love a gruff, grumpy, wounded man that has a heart that is only thawed by an adorable kid and her hot mom。 🤣 The deeper emotion to this book was really well-balanced by humor from Roan’s brothers and their utter shock at seeing their surly brother smile and laugh。 Aspen was a great mix of feisty and smart and The Lost & Found series is my favourite series so far by Catherine Cowles。 Roan and Aspen were just absolutely magic and he really stepped off the page as a full fledged character to me。 I love a gruff, grumpy, wounded man that has a heart that is only thawed by an adorable kid and her hot mom。 🤣 The deeper emotion to this book was really well-balanced by humor from Roan’s brothers and their utter shock at seeing their surly brother smile and laugh。 Aspen was a great mix of feisty and smart and a little vulnerable。 Definitely my fave of the series so far but we all know there is still Lawson to come! 。。。more

I listened to this on audible and Maxine Mitchell and Zachary Webber made these characters showcase each emotion from fear of what has happened in the past, or worrisome of things happening in their small town, and you could feel the love between Roan and Aspen and adorable Cady。 I went into this thinking of a small town romance and right away had literal chills from the suspense。 I enjoyed the excitement of what was to come next。 After having to uproot her life and move from a terrible tragedy I listened to this on audible and Maxine Mitchell and Zachary Webber made these characters showcase each emotion from fear of what has happened in the past, or worrisome of things happening in their small town, and you could feel the love between Roan and Aspen and adorable Cady。 I went into this thinking of a small town romance and right away had literal chills from the suspense。 I enjoyed the excitement of what was to come next。 After having to uproot her life and move from a terrible tragedy she changed names and changed lives…5 years later…。There was so much happening in this story The mystery was fun, the twist here and there, always wondering what the truth was or what was going to happen next。 The story kept me intrigued the entire time。 The family dynamic and the relationship Roan had with Cady was probably my favorite part。 He was so caring and helpful to them。 The glimpse of Roan seeing them before from his house was such a sweet part of this book and the protectiveness he felt of them, on top of the entire family being there for Aspen and Cady, the family banter is always a good time too。 I loved Aspen and her independence, she was adventurous and caring, spoke her mind but always had to watch her back and protect herself and Cady。 Roan was quiet and held a lot on his shoulders but Aspen brought out the best in him。 She let him have his anger, have his moments of doubt but always reassured that she was there for him。 His growling and dirty words were not how I imagined Roan would be but I was here for it。 Even after all the amazing parts of this book, the epilogue was my favorite… and for that I’m ready to jump into another Catherine Cowles Book。 “It’s you, your the lights in the shadows, always have been, always will be”Tiny Dancer and Tender Heart。 ❤️ 。。。more

Ahhhhhhhh! I think the only disappointment I have in this book, albeit a small one, is that there was no mention of Charlie in the epilogue? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY I needed it, lol。Regarding the suspense and the plot, whoa whoa whoa that was intense! I think Catherine is so talented in writing suspense。 Often in romantic suspense stories, it's actually quite predictable and reader can sort of easily guess who the perpetrator is。 But this? The plot twist? I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! It had me at the edge of my seat, the suspense was suspensing!!! I had many guesses and theories or imaginations, but none was correct 。。。 At one point I was suspecting almost everyone and everything, lol。 A mark of good plot, it had me guessing! This read was satisfying and fun, and the preview of Ashes Of You? Already looking forward to it! Can't wait! 。。。more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️There's just no one who writes romantic suspense like Catherine。 I've devoured this series ever since a friend recommended Grae and Caden's story and I just love every single book。The suspense aspect keeps you wanting to read and the romance tugs at your heart strings the whole way。 I loved seeing Aspen break down Roan's walls。 I loved that he was finally able to open up to someone and I loved his protective nature over Aspen and Cady。 I'm so glad they were able to get their happy endi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️There's just no one who writes romantic suspense like Catherine。 I've devoured this series ever since a friend recommended Grae and Caden's story and I just love every single book。The suspense aspect keeps you wanting to read and the romance tugs at your heart strings the whole way。 I loved seeing Aspen break down Roan's walls。 I loved that he was finally able to open up to someone and I loved his protective nature over Aspen and Cady。 I'm so glad they were able to get their happy ending after everything they went through。 The found family in this series is also something to be rivaled。 The Hartley's are also so welcoming and nurturing and comforting。 It's like a warm hug。 If you haven't read this series yet, it's a MUST!Read if you love:💜romantic suspense💜grumpy sunshine💜found family💜single moms💜happily ever after"'We can't always carry our own load。 Sometimes, we need help。 It doesn't make us weak。 It makes us human。'" 。。。more

Kim,
This has been my favorite in the series so far。 I loved Aspen's positive outlook and the light that radiated from her。 Roan didn't have a chance against that or her tiny daughter with a big personality。 The grumpy-sunshine mix of this book swirled with some trauma and suspense made this a great read。 This has been my favorite in the series so far。 I loved Aspen's positive outlook and the light that radiated from her。 Roan didn't have a chance against that or her tiny daughter with a big personality。 The grumpy-sunshine mix of this book swirled with some trauma and suspense made this a great read。 。。。more
Hannah,
Cute easy read。 Roan was great and Aspen’s story was beautifully written。 Their love was evident。 I gave this book a 4 because it just feels so predictable at this point。 All of Catherine’s books feel identical aside from using new characters。 I’d love for Lawson’s book to have something new in the plot。
Krystal,
His Tender HeartOmg。 Roan, our mysterious quiet grumpy Hartley, will have you just wooed。 He absolutely becomes enchanted by Aspen and her daughter, Cady。 Shadows of you is everything you love about Catherine Cowles books。 I did not see that happening。you will fall more in love with Cedar Ridge while reading how Roan and Aspen fall in love。 They both give to each other what they usually hide from the outside world。 That alone just makes you wish for them to get to that HEA in one piece。 However, His Tender HeartOmg。 Roan, our mysterious quiet grumpy Hartley, will have you just wooed。 He absolutely becomes enchanted by Aspen and her daughter, Cady。 Shadows of you is everything you love about Catherine Cowles books。 I did not see that happening。you will fall more in love with Cedar Ridge while reading how Roan and Aspen fall in love。 They both give to each other what they usually hide from the outside world。 That alone just makes you wish for them to get to that HEA in one piece。 However, since this is a romantic suspense, our main characters do experience an obstacle。 I again was shocked with the plot twist towards the ending。 The epilogue will have your heart back to melting。 。。。more

Ah how I loved this emotional romantic suspense! Roan and Aspen had me from their first encounter as you could already see the sparks between them。 Aspen and Cady had secrets but Roan was able to spot that they were hiding something almost immediately。 My heart broke for Aspen and what she had to endure while Cady was such a sweet bright light。 And Roan was one of my faves with his grumpy exterior。 I loved how protective he became is these two。 The balance of angst and suspense was so good and I Ah how I loved this emotional romantic suspense!

4。5 stars this was so good!!! I need time to formulate my thoughts but really really enjoyed this one and I know want to read every Catherine Cowles book in existence。
Heather Walsh,
Shadows of you is the epitome of the grumpy/sunshine genre! I received an ARC copy and believe me when I tell you, this is now my new favorite book of the series!Roan and Aspen are perfect for eachother right from the start。 Add in an adorable six year old and Roan’s heart didn’t stand a chance。 An absolute must read, and perfect addition to the series。
Maria,
Me ha gustado mucho! La historia de Roan y Aspen ha sido preciosa de principio a fin。 No se lleva las 5 estrellas porque lamentablemente sospeché quién era el/la culpable, por lo que no me sorprendí como en libros anteriores。 Estoy deseando cerrar esta serie con la historia de Lawson! Por cierto。。。¿será que vamos a tener un libro de Cady y Charlie de mayores? Sería maravilloso haber visto crecer su historia desde que eran unos niños 😍🧿

“You wanna be my real dad, Mr。 Grizz?” Cady asked。 The burn of tears built in my eyes。 “Nothing would make me happier, Tiny Dancer。” She flew at me then。 I stood, lifting her into the air, then wrapped Aspen in with us。 “Not sure how I got so lucky with these girls of mine。” Aspen pressed her lips to my throat。 “Love you, Roan。” “In this life and beyond,” I whispered back。”I DID NOT see that twist coming😵💫 NEED Law’s book rn😭
Jenna Brito,
3。75⭐️- I really did like this book。 I just tire of the same plot structure that the author uses in every single book of hers。 Obviously this book is unique and has its own suspense but it still felt very cookie cutter。 Not bad books just not my favorite over all。 That being said, I will be reading the next book!! I loved the preview!
