Publisher's summary

One night was all it took for everything to change. From college student to guardian in a single breath. My siblings became my world.

No time for date nights or romantic dreams. I traded quiet weekends for sleepless nights. Giving my all to make sure they were cared for.

But Griffin had a brokenness that called to me - one that mirrored my own. Gruff and just a little bit reckless. He was the last thing I needed. But everything I wanted.

Only someone isn’t happy about this new life I’m building. Deciding to set fire to everything I hold close. And when the smoke clears, there might be only ashes left behind....

Sweet small town, slow-burn romance!

I loved this story from start to finish. The Wrecked Series by Catherine Cowles has quickly become one of my absolute favorites when it comes to a good slow burn romance. Griffin has a very stand-offish gruff exterior but a literal heart of gold! He fighting hard for the top spot on my book boyfriends list!

Both Griffin and Caelyn both have heart-breaking stories when it comes to their families. Although they're both very different it allows them to understand what the other is going through when it comes to family, love and trust. I really enjoyed the family dynamic of Caelyn and her siblings. When you add Griffin to the mix, your heart will melt.

Seriously one of the sweetest romance stories I have read in a long time. I loved it so much that I jumped right into a re-read through Audible. Joe Arden and Ava Erickson are two of my favorites when it comes to narrators. The nailed the emotions and tone of this story perfectly. As always Catherine has a way of grabbing and keeping your attention from the very start. You won't want to put this one down. I am anxiously awaiting the next release in the Wrecked Series.

Sweet & Beautiful

Two souls, wrecked by tragedies beyond their control. This is a story of redemption, of healing, of discovering that burdens are best shared with those who can help carry them. This is the story of Griffin and Caelyn.

Their histories differ, but both are rife with pain. They've each made attempts at finding a "new normal" after devastating events. They've tried working through the pain on their own. But it isn't until they discover each other that they learn how to truly heal. *swoon*

This is a beautiful story of beautiful, damaged people. All the feels are here, from angst to passion. Even though this is the third book in a series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. Enjoy.

Emotional and Heartfelt!

atherine Cowles has written another amazing, heartfelt story! Wrecked Palace is book 3 in the Wrecked Series. This audiobook is narrated by Joe Arden and Ava Erickson. (one click narrators!) In this book, we finally get Caelyn's story, and it doesn't disappoint.

Caelyn became the legal guardian of her three younger siblings when she was just 21 years old. Her parents were wrapped up in drug dealing, and she was determined to keep her family together. Years passed and Caelyn's love for her siblings has made her an strong independent woman. Griffin suffered tragedy losing most of his family and has come to find solace on the island restoring an old farm house. Some unexpected twists bring them together and will leave your heart swooning.

Joe Arden and Ava Erickson's voices compliment each other so well as Griffin and Caelyn! Joe portrays Griffin as this strong, masculine man, with a tragic past. Ava's emotional performance of Caelyn went straight to my heart! Both narrators truly captured this beautiful and intense story!

Catherine Cowles has created a wonderful little world to get lost in, in the Wrecked Series! Each character's stories has left a lasting, memorable impression! I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!

Wonderful! 5+⭐ - Love this Series

Catherine Cowles is an amazing author! I felt immersed in this book the minute I started listening. I was so drawn into this story and Caelyn and Griffin's life that I couldn't stop listening. The story was heartfelt, suspenseful and had all the feels. I found my heart so filled with love during this story, at times I had tears in my eyes and other times I was laughing at some of the funny scenes. I forgot that I was listening to a story and felt that I was part of this extended family and working with them through their past pains as they were creating a new family. I was sad when it ended and can't wait for the next story with this great group of friends. Joe Arden and Ava Erickson's voices were perfect for this story and even the kids voices were fantastic. Their narration just made the story! This is my favorite of the series so far, but I probably say that after each one! This is a must listen! #joeuary

Fantastic

This is one of my favorites. Catherine has a way of bringing everything together. I love the friendship first and that it took place over months.

I can't wait to read Avas story, I hope that's the plan when she gets older.

This book is EVERYTHING!!!

I have been waiting for Griffin and Caelyn's story but I was not prepared for how much I would love these two. My emotions were all over the place and listening to Ava Erickson and Joe Arden bring Catherine Cowles words to life made this extraordinary story beyond words! I would close my eyes and could picture this story like it was happening right in front of me! I can not wait to replay this one over and over again.

A perfect performance

Ava Erickson and Joe Arden could not have done a better job with this book. Emotionally charged their performances brought this stunning story to life. Make sure you have some tissues, you will need them.

So much heart I felt it deep

I had been waiting for this book! I wanted a Griffin story. And boy did Catherine Cowles deliver. Griffin is the quiet and mysterious talk of the town. Rumors are spread about him and the tragedy of his family. He doesn't let anyone in, his trust broken. But he has been fascinated by Caelyn. She is kind and seems to understand him. Soon she is in a tight spot and he comes to her aid making up an excuse that it benefits him. Caelyn has had anything but an easy life. She becomes a parent to her siblings early in her adulthod. As if dealing with raising them on her own isn't enough, she has to deal with the town gossip and their lies about her. Griffin and her have a special connection. They are enjoying their friendship and her siblings love him as they work on his home. But then someone threatens Caelyn and her siblings and Griffin realizes how important they are to him. Things get intense. The conflict in the end had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't stop listening. But let's be honest, I was like that all the way through. I always say her current book is my favorite but this one has to be my new favorite. The emotions I felt all the way through has me wanting to experience it again. The book is good in itself but having it read by Joe Arden and Ava Erickson made it that much more amazing. A must read for all adult book fans. Yes it's romance. But there is something everyone will enjoy. I can't wait for what Catherine Cowles gives us next!
