Sneak Peek: Echoes of You by Catherine Cowles

💜Echoes of You Sneak Peek💜

USA Today bestseller, Catherine Cowles, has a sneak peek of her upcoming friends-to-lovers, small town romance, Echoes of You, coming May 2nd!

MADDIE

His fingers found the buttons on my shirt, though he paused for a moment, silently asking for permission.

I nodded, my heart hammering against my ribs. A million different emotions warred inside me. Want, anxiety, excitement, fear. But most of all, hope. For this moment. For us.

Nash’s fingers deftly unfastened each button. But he seemed to be in no hurry. My hands lifted to the top buttons to help the process along.

“Don’t.” His voice was all husky smoke.

“Why?”

“Because I’ve been dreaming of peeling the clothes from your body for as long as I can remember. And I’m going to enjoy every damn second.”

My eyes flared as my hands fell back to the mattress. “Oh.”

Nash leaned over me, his lips skimming the column of my neck. “I’ve dreamt of how this skin would feel. How it would taste. I’ve come to pictures of you in my mind more times than I can count. And I know the real thing will ruin me forever. But it’ll be so damn worth it.”

My breaths came in short pants, my fingers fisting in the sheets. “Nash…”

He pulled back, moving from button to button. “Hmm?”

His focus was zeroed in on each expanse of skin my parted shirt revealed as if it were the most riveting sight he’d ever seen. Nash’s thumb circled my belly button. It was the most innocent of movements, but it had everything in me drawing up and winding tighter.

“Please.”

Nash unbuttoned another clasp. “Don’t rush me.”

I squirmed in place, a million curses on the tip of my tongue. But two could play this game. I ran my bare foot up the inside of his leg from his calf to his thigh to what stood at attention between us.

“Maddie…” he growled.

I grinned. “What? If you get to touch, I get to touch.” I stroked Nash through his sweatpants.

The sound that slipped from his lips wasn’t altogether human. Nash took both sides of my blouse and tugged. The remaining buttons went flying across the room.

I gaped at him. “You did not just do that.”

Nash grinned as he slid the blouse down my arms. As the fabric parted more, he stilled, his gaze zeroing in on the kaleidoscope of colors on my side.

I swallowed. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

His fingers lightly skimmed the marred skin, then he bent and ghosted his lips over the fading bruises. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there. That I didn’t—”

I grabbed Nash’s tee and gave a hard tug. “No. It’s not on you. And he doesn’t get a place here. Not when it’s you and me. Not when I finally have what I’ve wanted all these years.”

Nash took my mouth in a long, slow kiss. “It’s you and me.”

“Always you and me,” I whispered against his lips.

GLIMMERS OF YOU - COMING AUGUST 1ST

Cover Design by Hang Le

Photography by Sara Eirew

He hadn’t always just been my brother’s best friend. There was a time when he was mine, too. Until he disappeared from our small town when I needed him the most.

Now, Caden’s back. With his cocky smirk and infuriating nicknames. And I’m struggling to ignore his presence.

When my ex refuses to leave me alone, Caden steps in, suggesting that it will get my ex and Caden’s calculating father off both our backs if we just pretend to be madly in love.

There’s just one problem… Nothing I feel for Caden Shaw is fake—even when I thought I hated him. And there’s no denying how the touch of his lips sparks a flame I’ll never be able to extinguish.

As those pretend moments start to turn oh so real, someone’s watching. They’re not happy about Caden’s new role in my life. And they’ll do anything to rip me away from him—even burn us all to the ground…

Nando is a self-proclaimed love expert.

Women believe he’ll deliver Mr. Right, and for the right price, he will.

Then there are the women who throw themselves at him, thinking he’s the one.

Who wouldn’t? He’s tall, delicious, and handsomely wealthy.

They think he’s perfect.

I know better.

There’s more beneath his irresistible charm and good looks.

He’s the guy who’ll fly across the country when things get too hard for me to handle.

He’s not only my three a.m. call, he’s my voice of reason.

He’s also my best friend.

I know all his secrets—even the ones that torment his heart.

Being in Luna Harbor with his family is torture.

When he asks me to help his family in their plans to rebuild the town.

I immediately say yes.

In exchange, I ask him to give me some dating lessons.

One kiss. Two hot nights and I can’t seem to stop wanting him.

Suddenly our friendship and my heart are at risk.

Should I extinguish the fire between us or see where this will take us?

My Thoughts and Review

Always You by Claudia Burgoa gives us the story of another member of the Cantu family. Nando's story takes it's time taking us back to Luna Harbor.

If you enjoy best friends-to-lovers romances, you will love Nando and Bri's story. While they are both in full denial of their feelings, I am pretty sure it was love at first sight for both of them. They have such great chemistry. I truly loved their banter.

This story is heart warming. Once again it shows how important communication is to any and all relationships.

New Release and Review: Hidden Waters by Catherine Cowles

"Addie and Beckett’s story is heart-achingly beautiful—Hidden Waters is another must-read from Catherine Cowles!— Samantha Young, New York Times Bestselling author

Hidden Waters, an all-new moving and passionate roommates to lovers, small-town romance from bestselling author Catherine Cowles, is available now!

My family tried to break me. But, somehow, I made it out alive, even though the wounds from that survival are forever carved into my bones. Now, my only wish is for…normal. To know what it’s like to have friends, a job, a home.

The last thing I want is for my new roommate to see the scars I’m so desperate to keep hidden, especially not the ruggedly handsome man who steals my breath and sends my heart into overdrive.

But something tells me that Beckett has demons, too. I see it in the shadows haunting his gorgeous eyes and the way he looks at me with gentle understanding.

As our unlikely friendship becomes so much more, forces from my life slink out of the shadows. And we could both lose everything we’ve fought so hard for—down to our very last breaths…

My Thoughts and Review:

I have to admit I was a little nervous about Addie's story. She had such a rough past I was afraid she wouldn't be able to trust a man. Beckett is the one member of the Easton clan we know almost nothing about from the first two books in this series.

These two, when they come together, incredible things happen. I loved how kind and patient Beckett was with Addie from the very beginning. He never pushed her. I mean "Purple Elephants" what more perfect code word could there be for hey I need you to back off for a bit.

This book is consuming. There were moments of pure joy, moments of terror. There were old favorite characters, old enemies, new characters to love and new ones to hate. There are so many things I would love to say about this story, but I refuse to spoil it for anyone. This may be the best in the Tattered & Torn series yet.

Listening to the audiobook was amazing. The narrators did such an incredible job of bringing these characters to life. The narration really helped add to the emotions of each scene.

New Release and Review: Falling Embers by Catherine Cowles

“A top must read for 2022”
—Samantha Young, New York Times bestselling author

Falling Embers, an all-new second chance romance filled with suspense from Catherine Cowles, is available now!

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…

My Thoughts and Review:

Friends to lovers ✔️
Brother's Best Friend ✔️
Single Dad ✔️
Romantic Suspense ✔️
EMT/Firefighter Romance ✔️

This book checks so many of my favorite boxes. I truly loved Hadley and Calder's story. There was hurt from the past, healing in the present and so much love for each other.

Calder's twins really helped make this story so much more. I loved how different each of them were. Their brutal honesty, their sass, and bits of crazy.

Hadley is such a strong and resilient woman. She knows who she is and stays true to herself despite the issues it causes with her mom. I love that her family finally takes her side and stands up for her to her mom. I truly hope that we continue to see growth and healing from Mrs. Easton in Bennett's book.

Hidden Waters, an all-new emotional small-town romance from bestselling author Catherine Cowles is coming June 21st and we have the first look at the stunning cover!

The world had tried to break her.

Addie has dreamt of freedom for as long as she can remember—peace away from the torment of her old life. But now that it’s finally within her grasp, she’s struggling to take those first steps into her new reality.

The last thing she wants is a new roommate to see the scars she’s desperate to keep hidden, especially not the ruggedly handsome man who steals her breath and sends her heart into overdrive.

“I’m nobody’s hero. Trust me.”

All Beckett wants is to silence the demons of his past. The first step is to make amends for not being there when his family needed him the most. That means settling in Wolf Gap for good, even if the town reminds him of all the ways he failed.

Soon, an unlikely friendship becomes so much more. But when forces from Addie’s life slink out of the shadows, they could both lose everything they fought so hard for—down to their very last breaths…

New Release and Review: Perfectly You by Claudia Burgoa

Release Date: March 1

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa brings us a light-hearted small-town romantic comedy full of a swoon-worthy billionaire, single dad romance, and big laughs.

I need a massive break.

So long to my cheating boyfriend and betraying roommate.

Goodbye hectic emergency room and long hours.

When I get an opportunity to take over my grandfather’s medical practice in Luna Harbor I happily accept the chance to try on a new life that holds sweet memories.

But I can barely think about anything at all when the new coffee shop/bar next to my practice always seems to be having an impromptu concert.

Who sets up a coffee and a bar in the same location as a music venue?

Fisher Hannigan, Head Man Child (ok, keyboardist) of the band Too Far From Grace, that’s who.

He’s also the man who can't stop flirting with me every time we meet. He’s having the time of his life, while I’m trying to run a quiet, unsuccessful medical practice.

Even though he infuriates me, our chemistry is off the charts and I can’t say I haven’t thought about giving him a full physical exam.

Until a baby changes everything.

Grab Your Copy Here:

Amazon | Apple | Nook | Kobo

My Thoughts and Review:

Talk about a book to devour. I loved everything about Fisher and Nathalie. Fisher, the Keyboardist from Too Far From Grace, who we first met in Beacon Aldridge's book Call You Mine, is an overly flirty stud, who is terrified of love. Nathalie is looking for a fresh start, trying to figure out what she wants from her life. When first they meet she wants nothing to do with Fisher.

I loved watching these characters grow with each other. Each of them able to help the other in ways they never imagined. Perfectly You is a beautiful story with love, heartbreak, loss, and friendship. I loved meeting new friends and catching up with old ones. I can't wait for our next trip back to Luna Harbor.

New Release and Review: A Chance for Us by Corinne Michaels

A Chance for Us by Corinne Michaels is now live!

My marriage started as a lie.

But some lies are worth telling.

My father's dying wish was to walk me down the aisle, and I'd do anything for him.

Even marry a man I don't love.

So when my fiance jilts me only days before the ceremony, I turn to my college friend, Oliver Parkerson, and convince him to marry me.

My family hasn't met either man, so I'm confident we can pull this off.

But the feelings, our touches, the way my heart beats for him... none of it feels pretend. The way he holds me at night and carries me through loss tells me he's not acting either.

I didn't mean to fall for my fake husband, but real love was the one thing I couldn't predict.

Except, nothing built on lies can last--I know that better than anyone.

But the truth might tear us apart forever.

My Thoughts and Review:

I can't remember the last time I cried so many tears while reading a book. There were tears of sadness, tears of grief, tears of happiness, and tears from laughter. This book made me feel so much. Oliver and Maren's story is so much more than I was prepared for.

This is a friends-to-lovers, fake relationship, forced proximity, small town romance like no other. I mean really, what can go wrong when a college friend you haven't really seen in ten years books your resort for her wedding, then asks you to marry her as soon as she gets there.

I fell in love with the Parkerson siblings from the very first book in the Willow Creek Valley series. Maren is a wonderful new addition to this family. I truly loved her and Oliver's story. I enjoyed the appearance of some of my other favorite Corinne Michaels characters too. This is a book that you will not regret reading.
