“You’re my person. Always.”
4 stars
The sixth and final book of the Sparrow Falls series, this is the long-awaited love story for Kye and Fallon, a slow burn, forbidden, ‘it’s always been you’ romance that has been building over the whole series. I was so ready to see these two get their happy ending together, and this is such a beautiful love story!
Since the first book of this series, there has been something between Kye and Fallon. Though they are technically foster siblings, Kye didn’t come to Fallon’s home until he was 16, and they had already met and fallen wildly for each other. But for Kye to have a home with the Coulsons, they couldn’t have a relationship and had to step away from each other. Instead, they became the best of friends, each other’s person, the one they lean on for everything, but those feelings never went away. When drama from Kye’s past is revealed, he finds himself in an unprecedented situation. To set things right, he needs a wife, and Fallon is there for him as always.
It’s a fantastic set up, and so much fun when the news breaks to the rest of the family. And with Kye and Fallon finally allowed to stop hiding their feelings and act like the lovers they are so desperate to be, it’s a huge turning point for them. It’s not an instant change though, there are issues that they have to work through, and with Kye seemingly in danger, he’s reluctant to drag Fallon even further into his mess. But watching Fallon coax him out of his darkness and seeing them finally act on and embrace their feelings is such a beautiful ride.
“You were my safe haven, the place I returned to again and again, even if I could only hold you in the secret places of my soul.”
This romance is an absolute swoonfest! The connection between Kye and Fallon is so beautiful. They are each other’s whole world, they don’t shy away from telling each other how they feel, and watching them finally come together after so many years of love and longing is such a special thing. I was cheering for them, and was so happy to see them finally get to be all that they wanted to be.
“I will honor you every day of this marriage. And every day after it’s done. And no matter what comes, my battered and blackened heart will always be yours.”
“You are light, breath. Air. In my darkest moments, it’s always been you who lit my way.”
“There’s only ever been you. You were all I could see from the moment you walked into my life.”
“I love you. I’ve always loved you.”
“I love you, too. It’s always been you.”
Swoooooooooooooooon!
As with any Catherine Cowles book, the romance unfolds alongside drama and suspense, and Kye and Fallon find themselves the target of an unknown danger which brings another level of intensity to the story. As always, it just didn’t feel necessary, but it wouldn’t be a Cowles book without it, so I knew it was coming and I just concentrated on the other stuff.
The themes of family are once again so strong in this book, and I loved seeing the Coulsons all there for each other and up in each other’s lives. The text chat is hilarious, the sibling bond is beautiful, and there are extra elements in this book which make the feeling of family so, so special.
This is a beautifully written story and a wonderful end to the Sparrow Falls series. There is an epilogue which finishes everything off perfectly, giving us a glimpse of the whole family in the future, and I finished this one with a smile on my face.
I loved it – 4 stars.
I listened to this as an audiobook, narrated by Connor Crais and Stella Hunter, and they bring a lot of emotion to the story. I really enjoyed listening to this one.
