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....

This is one of my favorite books of 2022 and now my favorite audio book EVER. Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber bring Everly and Hayes to life in this beautifully narrated story. Catherine Cowles is a master at weaving the perfect suspenseful romance. Tattered Stars is the first book in the Tattered & Torn series and brings us the story of Everly and Hayes. Everly has returned to the town she left 15 years ago to start an animal sanctuary on the property that still holds the memories of a horrible past. Not everyone is happy that she’s back and that includes the sexy sheriff, Hayes, but as they spend time together their romance is undeniable. This book introduces us to many wonderful characters and I can’t wait for their stories to unfold.

Oh my stars.... Catherine came out swinging with this new series and I'm gonna need a minute!
Emotional, tragic, heartbreaking, redemption, rebuilding.... these are some of the words that comes to my mind after listening to Tattered Stars.

Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber are simply perfect as Everly and Hayes. Zach knows how to bring all the emotions to this character and the progression of Hayes from beginning to end was just so perfect.
Andi reminds us just why she is still at the top of her game! Everly is possibly one of the strongest heroines I've read.
On top of just how amazing these two are the Eastons. I loved them so much!

I'm definitely ready for the next book, Falling Embers!

all the stars for this emotional love story

This is my first book by Catherine Cowles, but won’t be my last. I love her writing style. The characters are vividly written and most are very likable. I like stories with a “who done it” in the air so I especially like that component. Of course with Andi and Zachary as the performers and delivering the performance so beautifully it definitely makes this a fantastic audio experience. You won’t be sorry to purchase this book. I highly recommend!

Excellent story!

I am obsessed! What a great start to a new series!. I loved it so much, I bought it on Amazon and in paperback! I love that we get a story on Everly who we met in Shay's story! Beneath the Wreckage (another amazing book and series)

Everly, that poor girl to be brave the way she was at 11 and then turn around and be even more brave as an adult it was a story that pulled at your heart strings, gives a new meaning to 20 breaths, and gives you the power to know you are strong. I loved Everly!
Hays Oh my goodness I feel for him and the weight he has had to carry. I love that his Family is the one that has to push him towards the healing and forgiveness, or plants the seed. I love how quick he is quick to protect but also learns to give Everly her freedom and yet teaches her she is not alone.

Everything about this story is incredible I cannot wait to keep reading this series. Catherine Cowles definitely delivers everything packed into each story, love, some suspense, life lessons and humor.

Do yourself a favor and pick up this book to read and just be prepared to binge everything she has written. Lol

Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt are chefs 💋 . absolute perfection

“Be brave. For sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.” That line alone will hook you into Everly and Hayes’ story. Omg. Tattered Stars is everything you expect from a Catherine Cowles’ novel. There is a slow burn, an independent yet haunted heroine, a strong slightly struggling hero, & just enough romantic suspense to make you read this book in one day. The bonus is Koda, Hayes’ dog, who taken a liking to Everly from first meet. I loved loved love this book and it may be a new favorite of Catherine’s. I can’t wait for the rest of this series. Such an amazing way to begin the Tattered and Torn series.

Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber narrate amazingly as Everly and Hayes. Zachary has just the right grittiness in his voice to capture Hayes’ gruff alpha-ness. Andi is just right as Everly!

“I love her. And that’s not going to change. I also know it won’t be an easy road or a simple one. But it’ll be worth it.”

Heartbreakingly beautiful, this romance of second chances and forgiveness gripped me from the first page, a story woven with suspense and intrigue, Hayes and Everly were unforgettable. The underlying mystery of vandalism and kidnapping kept me guessing, while the love between Hayes and Everly built slowly giving me that satisfying feeling of watching two people fall in love. It definitely took time to build trust between them, a love between them was anything but easy with the painful history their families shared. My heart hurt over the wrong assumptions Hayes made about Everly from the start, but he certainly made up for it in the ways he opened his heart to her, showing her how love was supposed to be. SWOON! I love when a hero can admit he’s wrong and do everything in his power to make up for it.

“That’s one of the greatest gifts a person can give another. The freedom to be who they truly are.”

In coming back home to Wolf Gap, Everly had done everything in her power to become stronger than her past, not letting the hurt her father and family caused dictate her future happiness. I admired her trying strength that had her persevering nevertheless, no one was going to keep Everly from her dreams! I loved the underlying theme of being brave and conquering your fears, Hayes and Everly had both overcome so much and deserved the happiness they found in each other.

Tattered Stars is an unforgettable story of two broken souls learning to heal their hearts together and discover a love that can withstand anything. If you love a small town, romantic suspense story that will make you swoon, definitely check this one out!

Great small town, romantic suspense story!

What a great start to a new series this was. With good world building and a small town with loveable characters you just can’t go wrong with TATTERED STARS. Catherine takes us to Wolf Gap, a small town near the mountains full of ranches. Everly and Hayes are connected by an event that was completely out of their control but has bound them in their guilt. Everly returns to her hometown after her mother dies to try to make a new start, but her family just won’t let her move on. Hayes has grown into the town Sheriff and all-round protector.

After a rocky start their friendship grows and morphs into a love that is strong, passionate and unending. With a little suspense Catherine draws you into this story, keeping you engaged and compelling you to just keep reading (or listening).

We meet some side characters who I cannot wait to read their books. This book has a strong sense of family and community at its core, and I loved how Hayes’s family took Everly into the fold and accepted her as their own.

With this winning combo of voice actors you are in for a real treat with this audiobook. Andi and Zach put you right there in the moment. You feel all the feels and have a front-row seat to relationships, drama, action and a little spice too.

If you like a story with animals you’ll love this one. With a cute chipmunk, gorgeous horses and a loyal canine programme dropout you’ll get your animal lover fix too.

A fantastic series starter that is sure to suck you into the town of Wolf Gap.

A fantastic series starter with great narration.
