About this ebook

I loved him before I knew what the word meant. 

From skinned knees to first dates and everything in between. 

But he was never mine to love. 

I settled for friendship, even though I always wanted more. 

 

That was before. 

Before he ripped my world apart and didn’t bother sticking around to help me pick up the pieces.

I knit every last shred back together all on my own. 

And I’ve all but forgotten his name.

 

Now, he’s back, and everything is torn apart once more.

But he’s not the only one doing the tearing this time.

And there might be no stopping the person who has it out for us both.

Reckless Memories is a friends to enemies to lovers story and the beginning of the Wrecked series. Ford and Isabelle have known each other forever and Isabelle has loved him since she can remember but when their world is ripped out from under them, Ford disappears without a word. Ten years later, Bell has healed from the pain of the accident and has moved on with her life, that is until Ford walks back into The Catch and the pain of her past comes slamming back. After talking and clearing the air between them, someone else feels that they still need to pay. WOW!!!! This was a great introduction to Catherine Cowles and will not be my last book by her. The emotions and suspense of this book had me unable to put the book down. The pain and then eventual healing that Ford and Bell endured with each other was so complete. I loved the strong connection between Ford and Bell right from the beginning and was happy that their past did not stop their future. There were a few shocking twists in the book that I did not see coming. I can not wait for more from the crew on Anchor Island. Another amazing job by narrators Joe Arden and Andi Arndt. These two are the first pair I ever listened to and they are still my top narrators. "I would rather sit on a hill of fire ants in my underwear while eating ghost peppers." - Bell, Reckless Memories by Catherine Cowles

I say it every time, but her books just keep getting better. Catherine is such an excellent storyteller. She is able to engage her readers and make them feel as though they are in the book. The angst of trying to figure out what was going to happen next kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning to finish. I was experiencing the highs, lows and everything in between, right along with Bell and Ford. They are absolutely adorable and my new favorite couple of hers. There was the perfect amount of romance, humor and suspense to keep me swiping page after page. Phenomenal book!!!

Reckless Memories by Author Catherine Cowles is book one in the Wrecked Series. It is romantic suspense and can be read as a stand-alone. Isabelle (Bell) is a young girl when we meet her. She lives in a house of high expectations and feels that she follows in the shadows of perfection. This well crafted story begins with her having a crush on and loving her older, off limits best friend. He is one of the only people in life that gets her and understands her perfectly. When tragedy strikes your life and shreds it beyond recognition you have to mend it back together. Bell carefully and methodically stitches her life back together. She does it stitch by stitch and seam by seam creating a new landscape to her life. What happens when one of the reasons you had to recreate yourself returns and stretches the seams, pulls on the stitches to your heart and makes you question your sanity? Ford is that best friend. He is the one that left, never to be seen again until all these years later. After he left, when tragedy struck, and stole so much, Bell was hurt and alone. Now she is just angry at him. When he returns she is spitting mad and doesn’t shy away from showing it! Bell and Ford are constantly drawn together and fighting to ignore the magnetic pull that they have to each other. Through it all they experience and wade through longing, grief, redemption and forgiveness. They work their way through tension, what if’s and what nows. While they are doing this a person in the background is working to draw them apart, to sever the ties that bind and punish them both. The murderous intentions are around every corner, curve and never ending. Author Cowles delivered a captivating story with Reckless Memories that is everything that I didn’t know that I needed. With the scary time we are living in and social distancing in place I have been very sad. This book took me on a journey and vacation to a magical place in an uncertain time. It was the exact escape that I needed. It filled my heart and nurtured my soul. Bravo and thank you.
