About this listen

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....

The second book in Catherine Cowles Tattered & Torn series, Falling Embers is another amazing friends to lovers, romantic suspense novel that swept me away from the opening chapter. Top marks to Joe Arden and Vanessa Edwin for doing such a fantastic job giving voice to Cruz and Hadley. They managed to imbue all the emotions of the story into the characters while slipping seamlessly between the male/female parts. Thank you for sweeping this listener away from her daily work commute to the scenic mountain town of Wolf Gap where danger lurks beneath the surface for Hadley just as she finally finds happiness with the only man she has ever loved.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Really loved Hadley and Calder story. They are definitely one of my favourite couples in the series.

I loved how truthful she was and supportive of her family at the same time.

I loved how it had a twist, again I did figure it out just in time but still when listening your still shocked.

Love a single dad romance and this one no different, the kids are adorable.

Definitely recommend.

One of my fav in series

Another wonderful story from Catherine Cowles.

I absolutely adore Calder and Hadley. And of course, Calder’s twin daughters. This was such a wonderful story, but it had some heartbreaking and emotional moments along with the romance, drama and suspense. It was so good, I didn’t want it to end.

This story was narrated beautifully by Vanessa Edwin and Joe Arden. Both narrator’s did a wonderful job in bringing the characters to life. Brilliant narration by both.

‘Falling Embers’ is the second book in the Tattered and Torn Series.

Heartbreaking. Emotional. Beautiful.

Falling Embers is book 2 in the Tattered and Torn series. This story focuses on Hadley and Calder. Hadley and Calder had a close bond during childhood but during adulthood they drifted apart. Hadley has overcome so much, a fiercely independent woman who excels at her job. Calder a single dad of twins, who is a firefighter what more could you ask for.
This book has all the feels, romance, drama, suspense, emotions. Fantastic 5 star read!
Audible narration is perfect, emotional, expressive

Okay, so I’m embarrassed to admit that until this title I had never read/listened to a Catherine Cowles book and oh my goodness, I’ve been missing an absolute treat! I’m looking forward to getting lost in more small-town romances from this fabulous author.
Falling Embers is book two in the Tattered and Torn series and is the story of Hadley Easton and Calder Cruz.
My heart broke for sweet Hadley and all she endured throughout this story. She suffered the most out of her siblings because of her sisters kidnapping years earlier. Hadley has been prevented from experiencing life due to her family’s irrational fear. Hadley was unable to be who she truly is and live her life to its fullest potential without repercussions. The only person who saw her and her needs was Calder, her brother’s best friend. He showed her how to live, how to feel and how to chase the stars and the high of an adrenaline rush. He gave her an outlet to forget the cruel words thrown at her by a woman who should love her unconditionally but has put restrictions on that love. However, tragedy struck, and Calder’s world almost came crashing down around him which caused him to abandon Hads and anything that can remotely be seen as a little dangerous.
Calder is a hero firefighter and single father to twin girls Birdie and Sage. Due to an accident years previous that almost cost him his precious daughters, Calder has sole custody of the twins and even though he backs aways from Hads, she loves the girls so helps out and has a fantastic relationship with them. Calder begins to see Hads in a new light when she risks her life to save an accident victim as part of her job as an EMT and Calder in turn then had to rescue her.
The amazingly talented Joe Arden and Vanessa Edwin narrate this phenomenal book. Mr Arden has a way of performing the raw, gritty characters that have you feeling every emotion, plus no one holds a candle to him when it comes to children’s voices, they are just incredible. Ms Edwin truly is remarkable at her craft. I felt everything Hads was feeling. Vanessa portrayed her vulnerabilities, her need to not let her family down but also her wants and desires to be free and chase that high.
Ms Cowles is an incredibly talented writer who has a way of making her readers fully immerse themselves in the story, feel everything and have you on the edge of your seat in suspense, I was captivated from start to finish. I couldn’t have loved this anymore and am now looking forward to sweet Addies story in book three of this series.

Breathtakingly beautiful small-town romance
