six stars. this is my favorite catherine cowles' book that i have read so far and it feels like it will be impossible for her to beat this, though i know that she'll somehow find a way. i don't even think I have enough words to describe how much i loved it and all the things I felt. how I thought I knew what was happening but had no idea at all. this book had everything. i was invested in all the characters and their relationships and I even wanted to cry at so many parts. i can't say enough good things about how incredible colt and ridley were as individual characters and together as a couple. their chemistry, their relationship and how meaningful and beautiful it was and also how hot they were. the spicy scenes were so amazing. i  felt for emerson, while also admiring her strength and wanting to give her a hug. and don't get me started on emerson and trey. i feel like if I say more I'll end up spoiling things. just, catherine cowles is honestly becoming one of my favorite authors, if not my favorite. all the stars and praise in the world!!💛🌕

Just finished All the Missing Pieces by Catherine Cowles and I have… thoughts. This book is the definition of small-town romantic suspense done right — with just enough darkness to keep you hooked, but not so heavy that it takes away from the emotional core of the story. Wren’s journey really stood out to me. The trauma, the unanswered questions about her mother, and the way everything slowly unraveled felt genuinely engaging. I loved how the story balanced healing with suspense instead of rushing either. And Callum? Peak “touch her and you’re done” energy. Protective without being overbearing, and honestly one of the stronger male leads I’ve read in this genre. The suspense element kept me guessing, and while some parts felt a little familiar if you read a lot in this genre, the overall execution still worked well. If I had to nitpick, I’d say the mystery takes a bit of a backseat to the romance at times, and some moments felt slightly formulaic. But did it keep me hooked? Absolutely. Overall, this isn’t a mind-blowing thriller, but it’s an emotional, addictive read with a satisfying payoff and a solid romance at its core. A solid 4-star read for me, and one I’d definitely recommend if you enjoy protective heroes, small-town settings, and a touch of suspense woven into a heartfelt story

Das buch war soooo gut es hat mir richtig gefallen Colt ist so ein Schatzi sie ( habe ihren nahmen vergessen ) ist auch soooo ein schatzi die sind so süß zusammen aber auch der Rest mit dem Mörder und so war sooo gut gemacht. Ich dachte irgendwie für eine Zeit lang das der Mörder trey wäre aber dann war er es doch nd 😅 Aber hatte nicht für eine Sekunde gedacht das es dieser sully war do hätte woher kam das Aber es war soo gut und ich hatte sehr viel Spaß beim lesen

I liked Shepard Colson enough, but Colter Brooks
