Summary

Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.

One night changed them both forever.

Their lives shattered, beyond repair, with jagged edges and pieces askew.

Now, Everly has a chance to make things right. To bring healing to the place where everything fell apart. But it means facing the family her father almost destroyed, and the boy with the dark eyes - now grown - who still haunts her dreams.

Just one breath away from having your life ripped out from under you.

The last thing Hayes wants is another reminder of all the ways he failed 16 years ago. When Everly drives back into Wolf Gap, his only mission is to get her to leave. For his family’s sake, and for his own, those demons need to stay buried for good.

But everything about this woman is a surprise, from her spine of steel to the sanctuary she hopes to create with the land her mother left behind. And Hayes is powerless to stay away.

As a careful friendship sparks into something more, someone watches. And they’ll do anything to tear it all apart....

🎧 8hr 40m

This book had me hooked and invested from the start. This couple are both traumatized from their pasts and the repercussions of what happened in their youths. I really liked how the romance developed between Hayes and Everly and how protective he was of her. Also, the loving bond Everly formed with his whole family was lovely to see.

Hooked from Prologue!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Story
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ narration

Book One in Catherine’s Tattered and Torn series. Another amazing prologue which was unexpected. Great story, good characters and plenty of suspense.

Again perfect narration from the dream team that is Andi and Zachary, I couldn’t fault them.

My only issue is that I found the actual romance between Everly and Hayes took a tad bit too long, it was way past the second half of the book, so it was quite a slow burn, but I will definitely continue on with the series as I want to know what happens to all the other characters.

Grippingly Captivating!

This is the first book in The Tattered and Torn series, a Small Town Romantic Suspense. OMG! This story is well written, and grippingly heart-wrenching. Hayes and Everly are fantastic characters. Everly is such a strong and smart character. Hayes is very handsome, protective, and supportive. Their past is heartbreaking. They are perfect together. The supporting characters are great and intriguing. The characters are well developed, and the plot is well crafted, and captivating. The storyline is emotional, and enthralling, filled with family drama, danger, suspense, romance, and unpredictable twists and turns. I liked the family bond and the friendship in the story, and I can’t wait to know more about Hayes's siblings, and his friend Calder. Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber did an outstanding job on the narration. The audio production is perfect. This is an excellent team author/narrators. If you like Romantic Suspense, this one is for you! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it. Looking forward to listening to Falling Embers, the next book in the series.

Just Twenty Breaths

Tattered Stars was such a beautiful and touching love story of forgiveness and new beginnings that swept me away from the opening chapter. Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber did a wonderful job on the narration especially Andi who imbued such emotion in voicing Everly that my heart hurt for her.

I absolutely loved this book. It’s a fantastically atmospheric small town romantic suspense novel with such amazing chemistry between the hero and heroine. Their relationship builds up gradually as they go from being enemies to becoming friends before taking the next step to lovers. All while the ominous danger stalking Everly grows in the background before coming to a fantastic conclusion. I can’t wait to listen to more from the Tattered & Torn series especially if the same narrators are used

I loved it!

There’s danger lurking everywhere for Hayes and Everly in this fast paced thrilling storyline that I couldn’t put down. Tattered Stars (Tattered And Torn #1) is a slow burn, tame, romantic suspense with fantastic characters and great narrators. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful and heart wrenching

What a beautiful heart wrenching story. Everly Kemper returns to her mountain home with hopes of chasing away the demons of her past but not everyone is ready to let her forget, including Sheriff Hayes Easton.

“That was what had always been at the heart of this journey. Melding the old with the new and forming it into something good.”

Hayes wants to hold a grudge against Everly but it’s not long before he sees her strength hidden under her bravado.

“I tried to hold on to the good bits. To remind myself that no one was all good or all bad. But, sometimes, the good pieces held more pain than the bad ones, as if the stars themselves became tattered remnants of what they once were.”

A string of attempted abductions brings back memories of the past and together Hayes and Everly have to fight back and find a way to build a better future.
I both read the ebook and listened to the audiobook of this one. It had wonderful narration and I definitely plan to add it to my 'to be re-read" pile!
I absolutely love this first standalone book in the Tattered and Torn series!

Absolutely loved this new series!

Well I think we are in for a treat with this new series, Tattered & Torn.

Tattered Stars is the first in the series with Everly and Hayes leading the way. Both strong characters who were going to butt heads!

Catherine sure knows how to reel us in with her prequels, and this one’s was brilliant. Gripped me from the off.

I was lucky enough to be listening to the audio in tandem, and wow what a fantastic job Andi Arndt & Zachary Webber have done.

Catherine covers all the bases with this first book for me, a tragic back story, trepidation, empowerment twists, turns and romance of course! Also introducing us to a whole new family of characters, who are crying out for their story to be told.

Bring on Falling Embers……I can’t wait.

Great book

🎧 AUDIO REVIEW 🎧

🌟🌟🌟🌟

I never read or listened to this author before and kept seeing them so thought I give them a go. A book friend of mine recommended this series in particular and I was not disappointed.

I loved the small town, the drama, the history of the families. It was not what I was expecting and how some of the residents acted and the twists.

I did figure out the twist in this one but I know some won’t. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous book

Wow what an amazing start to a new series. I was hooked from the first page to the last. The emotional and heartbreaking but also heartwarming story was beautifully written and narrated by these two amazing people. Ms Cowles knows how to weave a tale of beauty. I can’t wait to read and listen to the next book now.
