My past taught me to play it safe.To stay far away from handsome men who promised it all.My life was good without them. Stable, secure, predictable. But one kiss showed me that I’d been playing it safe for far too long.One night, and all I wanted was more of his wildfire.One challenge and my carefully constructed walls tumbled down.Amidst the rubble, I realized there was more to this man than I … there was more to this man than I ever dreamed.
When everything fell apart, he showed me what it meant to stay.
How to truly live.
But some demons don’t stay buried.
The past can come knocking when you least expect.
And the life he’s showing me might be shorter than either of us expected…

Another amazing book which I could barely put down! This is Book 2 in the series and cannot wait until the next is available.
Wow! This book gutted me from the moment I learned about Kenna’s past. The heartache she went through is unimaginable, but her ability to open herself despite it is astonishing.
I instantly fell in love with Crosby and his free spirit the moment he started teasing Kenna. I immediately knew he would be the one to bring her out of her shell, and I loved watching their relationship blossom. This perfect gave me all the feels, and I love Catherine Cowles’ writing style. This story will instantly captivate you, and you will love every moment of it!!
Spectacular!
I have so many words running through my head that I could use to describe this book but I dont think they will be enough to express how much I loved it!
Catherine Cowles delivered another so well written book I couldn’t put down!
The explosion of emotions is amazing, I was not prepared! This story was heartfelt and breathtakingly beautiful
You need Crosby and Kenna in your life!! Go grab your copy!!!
Another great book and another amazing book boyfriend to my collection!
Can’t wait for the next couple!
5 Showing Each Other What Love Means Stars!!!
You’d think by now I’d be ready for how my heart would hurt while reading one of Ms. Cowles books, but NO!! This is another emotional read that gave me all the feels possible because Kenna and Crosby are literally like oil and water and have been for so many years. But things change for them with an event that truly guts Kenna making her re-evaluate her life and what she’s doing with it.
Kenna grew up on Anchor Island and her life was anything but charming until she came to The Gables. This is where she gets the love all little girls are looking for from their parents and while it wasn’t her mom that gave her this love, it was even better because it was Harriet and this woman loved this girl something fierce. But as much as she loved this girl she couldn’t protect her from heartache. And with this heartache, Kenna views life with a much more cynical eye. But there’s some comedic relief with her constant bickering with Crosby!
Oh and Crosby, there are so many layers to this man. What we see on the surface is a mere whisper oh what’s going on in his heart! I absolutely love Crosby from his willingness to help those that are truly in need but also for his love of Kenna….even if it takes some time for them to get there. And trust me their road is not smooth and straight.
I was consumed by this story. I laughed, I cried and I was on the edge of my seat. Crosby definitely has a piece of my heart! He’s so sexy and alpha in the best ways and when he has a goal or sees a problem he knows he can solve, he’s on it like nobody’s business! There’s also the bit of suspense in this story that truly had me white knuckling my chair a few times because holy moly….didn’t see it coming and when it did my mouth was hanging wide open!!!
I loved how their relationship changed and grew throughout the book. I loved seeing how they both changed and recognized that not only could love be beautiful but both of them are deserving of loving and being loved so passionately there’s never a question of who they belong to! Ms. Cowles continues to write books that reinforce why I drop everything I’m doing to read her books the minute they hit my kindle!!
I am always amazed at the craft and gift Catherine Cowles has, her ability to create characters that touch my soul is why I always one click this author.
Perfect Wreckage is book two in the Wrecked Series’s and once again this author delivers with the emotion and character growth.
This book follows the journey of Crosby and Kenna and their fight for acceptance and love.
Kenna definitely hasn’t had an easy life and as a result she built Fort Knox around her heart! Structure is her key for keeping her life in order but when she loses the one person in the world who she is open with she soon learns that she has friends she can count on. She just didn’t expect Crosby to be one of them.
Crosby is the total opposite to Kenna in all aspects of his life. He lives life to the fullest and grabs opportunities with both hands. Adventure calls to his soul but like every risk taker he assess each situation and he knows that Kenna is worth the risk.
I can’t wait to see where Catherine goes with the next book in this already amazing series.
I absolutely loved this enemies to lovers storyline. Crosby and Kenna’s chemistry was sizzling hot and their banter keeps you hooked from the beginning to the end. Crosby is oh so swoon worthy and Kenna is strong, they truly are what each other needs. A fantastic addition to this series and can’t wait for book three.
Perfect wreckage was just perfect! Catherine is automatically a one click author for me. She never disappoints. Kenna and Crosby were just perfect for each other. Kenna had so much heartache and grief I honestly didn’t know if she would come around. I won’t give any more away because you have to read the book. Oh but she did once Crosby got into her head. They both have had some problems with past relationships that really had a strong hold on them and once they started to trust it became wonderful to sit back and watch. Then of course the side characters were fantastic and oh how I loved Zoe. Once more Catherine outdid herself with this book. Perfect Wreckage was just perfect.
“You showed me that my wreckage could be perfect in its own way, that all those little cracks in my soul just made me stronger, more beautiful. Truly and authentically me.”
Perfect Wreckage is a heart-gripping story, but one that was also layered with beauty and hope.
Crosby is the complete definition of book boyfriend material. Ridiculously charming, carefree, and so much more than what appears on the surface. And I absolutely loved Kenna’s strength and caring heart — a heroine to be admired.
They were perfect for each other when it came to overcoming past betrayals and heartbreak. The banter and chemistry they shared was wonderful, and engaging to read. It had moments that left my heart soaring, and moments where my heart dropped. And the suspenseful aspects kept me filly invested in how every would work out. Because if anyone deserved for things to go in their favor, it was Kenna.
My love for this series has continued to grow with Perfect Wreckage, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoy stories with heart.
I loved Crosby and Kenna’s story. It is part of a series, but I think it could easily be read as a stand alone. There is a lot going on in this story with both characters. It will keep you engaged. You will love the secondary characters some who have already had a story and some whose story is yet to come. Sometimes people just need their friends around them to support them because their whole life has been like a black cloud following them around. That is Kenna. I really felt a connection to her character, not because of my own life, but because the author did such a good job causing me to feel that way. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.
I swear Catherine’s books get better and better with every new release if that is even possible. She writes the most amazing storylines and the absolute perfect couples.
As soon as I read Ford and Bell’s book I have been dying to read about Kenna and Caelyn.
I loved the connection between Kenna and Crosby – the banter, the push and pull, and obviously their chemistry together.
This is yet another 5 star book by Catherine and I cannot wait to read Caelyn’s book next.
Hands down my favorite book of Catherine’s. Perfect Wreckage is absolutely everything I want in a book. I cried, laughed, and swooned like crazy.
Kenna hasn’t had an easy life, she’s been let down way too many times. But she’s always had people in her life that never left her fall, and that’s why she keeps fighting.
Crosby is the BEST, he is someone who was looking for a fresh start and he found it when he moved to Anchor Island. Crosby and Kenna were two opposites, but they absolutely complete each other. Circumstances bring them together that makes Kenna realize that Crosby is so much more than what she thought.
This story was absolutely magical, Kenna was such a strong heroine, she never gave up and I absolutely loved that. Catherine just delivered a book that will leave you speechless and wanting to reread it right after you finish it (I did) If I could give this book more than 5 starts I totally would!!!
Perfect Wreckage is a perfect small town romance. I was enthralled from the first page, and I couldn’t put it down. Kenna and Crosby are wonderful, and their story had me running the gamut of emotions. It has moments of heartbreak and tenderness, and a nice level of heat. Kenna is a tough girl that’s built up a hard exterior to protect herself. Crosby is utterly swoonworthy, and their banter is delightful. I adore the close circle of friends and can’t wait to read more about them in this series.
Perfect Wreckage is the second title in the Wrecked series, featuring Kenna and Crosby. Both characters appeared in Reckless Memories, and I was eager to read their story.
Perfect Wreckage is a heartbreaking, raw, emotional and suspenseful small town romance, set on Anchor Island. This pair of characters are flawed, wounded by completely endearing.
Crosby is a lawyer, who is loyal, caring, kind, and compassionate. He’s a thrill seeker, who loves nothing more than climbing, riding or paddling to get an adrenaline high. He’s got a past he’d rather forget, that leaves him very resistant to commitment.
Kenna had a difficult childhood full of upheaval, that has left her craving order and has a tendency to strive for perfection. Kenna is strong, resilient and intelligent. She shares a very special friendship with Caelyn and Bella, that I loved the interactions and banter they share.
Kenna and Crosby are inexplicably drawn to each other, they challenge and irritate each other as much as they complement each other.
Perfect Wreckage is a sweet romance, with equal parts heat, heart and humor and much like all of Catherine Cowles this title will not only entertain you, but you will be captivated from the very beginning to end.
This is a wonderful read about Kenna and Crosby. Kenna had her heart broken years ago by someone she thought she was in love with. She was living with his grandmother who loved Kenna like her own. She ends up giving Kenna the estate she loves so much, but the family is not happy about it and go after her. Crosby has been friends with Kenna and gives her support which turns into so much more. Can Kenna overcome her past to move forward with Crosby in the future?
I absolutely loved this book. There are some books you just can’t put down and this one was right there with those books. A great read from a great author.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review.
5+ stars!
Perfect Wreckage is the small town romance my heart craved. I absolutely loved this beautiful book. Catherine Cowles drew me in from the very beginning. With a strong, resilient heroine, a swoon-worthy hero and their undeniable connection, there is no doubt in my mind, Perfect Wreckage deserves more than 5 stars.
Kenna is my favorite Catherine Cowles heroine. She’s strong, kind and dedicated. She had ensure so much emotional and physical pain from people who should have cared for her. Leaving her understandliby guarded and striving for safety and stability.
Crosby is totally swoon-worthy. I love him so much. He’s so much more than the laid back lawyer we met in Reckless Memories. Every time he interacted with Zoe, a nine year old girl in the foster system, my heart melted.
I love Kenna and Crosby together so much! They compliment each other so well. Their banter was so entertaining and the chemistry between them radiated off the page. He helps her live a freer less guarded life and she shows him what a real relationship should look like.
I’m so impressed by this Wrecked series. Each book so far has gripped and pulled all the emotions out of me. I know it’s only two books in but I’m obsessed. I can’t wait to read Caelyn and Griffin’s story next.
This book did just as the title states… it wrecked me in the most perfect of ways. Crosby and Kenna’s journey absolutely consumed me from the moment I cracked open the book. I couldn’t put it down. I took me on such highs and lows and I was in tears feeling all the pain that both of them felt from their pasts to their present.
Catherine has a way with her words that feels like poetry on the page. I get lost in her worlds so easily and feel all the emotions of her characters to the bone. I feel invested and once I pick up the book, it doesn’t get put back down until the last word is read.
Crosby’s witty banter with Kenna gives the book the moments of levity that are needed to make this a fantastic read that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride that you never want to get off of. Catherine has become my go-to author for Romantic Small Town Suspense and she already has me all grabby hands for the next read!
I LOVED this story. It is filled with emotions and it grips your heart and does not let it go until you read the last page. I felt the brokenness of the characters, their strengths, and their fears.
Also, this is the first book I read by this author and I will read more of her work!
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
OMG this story….was absolute perfection!!!! I loved it so much. Kenna has been through so much in her life that she has built walls around her heart and created the perfect life so she can maintain control. Crosby is the complete opposite..he is spontaneous, craves adventure and fun. Crosby and Kenna are complete opposites in every way but when tragedy happens, Crosby is the one that Kenna needs the most even though she doesn’t realize it. Can Kenna and Crosby make a go of a relationship or will past hurts ruin things before they even start.
I can’t begin to explain how much I loved this book. I was hooked from beginning to end. Such a fantastic book and series. I can’t wait for the next book in this amazing series. One that I recommend to everyone. A top 2020 read hands down for me, well done!!!
Another amazing book by Catherine Cowles!!! I loved this one so much!!! This one hooked me in from the very beginning, I couldn’t put it down!!! I loved Crosby and Kenna so much!! This book will give you all the feels! I cannot wait for the next book! I would absolutely recommend this book!!!u2063

A wonderful second instalment in the series. I love the glimpse of Ford and Belle and what’s coming.
I love how protective Crosby is to Kenna. Now I know why Kenna is such a closed person and only trusted her inner circle.
I enjoyed reading Perfect Wreckage but I feel I needed more of Crosby and Kenna.
