Glimmers of You

The Lost & Found Series, Book 3

By: Catherine Cowles

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Erin Mallon

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….

The prologue queen strikes again!

“If I only had this one stolen moment with him, this one glimmer of everything, I wanted to experience it all.”⁣
⁣
The prologue queen strikes again! Catherine certainly knows how to hook me in, this brother’s best friend romance was addictive from the start.⁣
⁣
First off - Fake Dating – YES PLEASE. You could feel the tension between these two with all their banter and bickering to start, even while Grae held so much animosity towards Caden and how he ended their friendship, that sexual tension was undeniable. Nothing like an attractive man that pushes your buttons. And there was so much history between them that it just seemed natural that once they were forced together in a room that the walls would start to breakdown. Especially once Caden found Grae in danger because when it came down to it, he knew when to stop and step up to be the man Grae deserved to have in her life. She wasn’t going to let her diabetes or threats against her life hold her back and she didn’t need a man that wasn’t going to advocate for her.⁣
⁣
“I’ve wanted you for longer than I ever should’ve. I tried to hide it, to shove it down. But there’s only been one person who’s ever owned me. You.”⁣
⁣
The vulnerability that these two had with each other, it's honestly one of my favorite parts of the story. Anytime one of them would open up to each other it just made me feel their connection even more. Caden had a lot to work through, still grieving the loss of sister and the past incident with Grae and while it was difficult for him to work through, his sensitivity made me love him even more. All the swoons with these two! And that kitchen scene - holy cannoli. “Good Girl” MELTINGGGGGG. These two were absolutely scorching. Overall this story really hit the mark for me, the underlying theme of family, the suspenseful moments of danger, the swoon worthy protective moments and the vulnerability of both Grae and Caden made this a five star read for me.

Narration was stellar - Joe and Erin were fantastic together, bringing the banter, longing and lust to life!

Loved Grae and Caden so much!

Catherine stole my heart once again! Glimmers of You was a small town brothers best friend romance with perfect touch of danger and suspense! I am loving this Lost and Found series so much, and with each trip back to Cedar Ridge I fall a little bit harder for the Hartley family! Grae and Caden’s emotional and gripping love story will have you on the edge of your seat and swooning from start to finish.

Erin Mallon and Joe Arden narrated this audiobook, and both brought on the feels and chills! Erin’s portrayal of Grae’s stubborn, determined, and passionate persona was spot on. Plus, her moving performance had me wishing and willing for Grae to find her true happiness with Caden. Joe turned on the charm with his performance of Caden showcasing his guarded, vulnerable, and loving personality which made this girl swoon several times over. Both narrators captivated my attention with Grae and Caden’s slow burning simmering hot chemistry.

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a brothers best friend romance with a hot hunky billionaire, a sassy outgoing adventurer, overprotective brothers, fake dating, luxury hotels, the Clara Foundation, an overbearing father, arson, hiking tours, slow burn steamy times, speaking your truths, letting your guard down, galas, danger, threats, a jaw dropping climax, and a HEA that will glimmer bright in your heart forever, then you will love Grae and Caden’s story. I always look forward to more from Catherine Cowles.

A great series

I really enjoy how Catherine Cowles writes small town romance! There is always a bit of mystery and danger to her books but it definitely adds to the development of the story and the characters.

Didn’t see him coming!

Never suspected the book to end the way it did. Catherine has a way of reeling you in and holding you captive to the very end. Loving her books!

Great love story!!

Joe Arden is terrific and he puts everything into his characters. And Erin Mall is great too. I have favorites and these two are top of the list
