Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It’s somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more … anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she’s kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She’s given up hope of seeing him ever again.
Until one day, years later, Logan Kendrick waltzes into her life once more and turns everything she’s built upside down. This time around, she won’t make the same mistake. She’s going to fight to keep him in her life—not for herself.
But for their daughter.

I just adored reading Tattered. It is a wonderful small town romance with a strong independent heroine.
Thea has always had to fight for everything she needed but now has a comfortable life with her ‘family’. Six years after a one night stand that turned her world upside down, she is now able to work, pursue her art, and make her daughter her top priority.
Memories of a one night stand and ‘the one that got away’ plus having his heart broken when the only other woman he was interested in left him for a life in Montana have made Logan a bit of a workaholic. He is running his family’s foundation and a partner at a prestigious law firm in NYC when a business trip to Montana brings him face to face with his past.
“We need to talk.”
Four words I hadn’t dreaded much before yesterday.
Four words that now made me crave tequila.”
Logan is SO focused on what he wants and where he wants to take things that he is almost oblivious to Thea’s feelings!! I was so worried that he would never be able to find a way to be happy AND do what was best for Charlie.
“If you make my daughter fall in love with you and then you leave her behind, I will find you and smother you in your sleep.”
Tattered is a standalone and the first book in the Lark Cove series. After each book that I read by this author, I fall more and more in love with her books and her writing!!

Tattered is a wonderful story full of emotion and hope. When Thea serves the smart, sexy and smooth businessman that is Logan Kendrick and they spend a passionate and memorable night together, little does she know at the time how that encounter will change her life forever. The problem is she has no idea who ‘Logan’ is, where he is from and has no way of contacting him to let him know he is a father.
Fast forward to a six years later, and Logan Kendrick is looking at some property to purchase for one of his many charitable causes and business transactions. When he enters her bar, and see’s her again suddenly both of their lives are totally turned upside down. With secrets and revelations, this story really gave me all the feels.
Lots of emotion and intensity in this book. Charlie is absolutely amazing, and I loved her character – she’s a little whirlwind and isn’t going to make life too easy for the sudden appearance of her ‘Dad’.
This was a really enjoyable story again from Devney Perry. The characters were so well developed and the story flowed to perfection. Well paced, with just the right amount of suspense I love from this author. The chemistry between the characters worked so well and I was really rooting for them all.
I look forward to more in this series! A 5 star read!
This story was so well written and absolutely perfect. The secret baby theme was handled so beautifully, with no fault to either Thea nor Logan. There was no hard feelings to get over, and that made it so wonderful to read. Both of these characters are strong, kind and thoughtful. Despite his wealth and power, Logan never came across as a jerk. He might have been a little arrogant in the beginning, but it only added to his charm. Thea was so down to earth, and I liked her determination for a better life. These two had instant chemistry from the start, and I loved that it hadn’t changed when they reunited. I loved every part of this story, from start to finish, it held me captive.
What started as a one night stand that left Thea with a surprise one that took 6 years for Logan to learn about.
A beautiful story about dealing with the unexpected, finding what you’ve looked for all your life, realizing plans you made for your future aren’t always what life has planned for you and that’s not always a bad thing!
Devney Perry knows how to hook you on the first page and keeps you hooked until the last sentence. She’s definetly a one-click for me always!
This book just melted my heart. Being a single mom myself, this book held a bit more meaning for me as a reader. I’m not really surprised because this author truly has a gift for storytelling and she captivates me every time I open up one of her books.
Tattered is about an accidental pregnancy, single mom and a second chance story all rolled into one. The best part…it was due to no fault of either characters for the separation between father and child. You get to learn about these characters and love them with out being disappointed by anyone’s actions.
On top of such a beautiful story, the setting the author describes to us about Lark Cove and all the small town characters pulls you right into this town as if you are living there yourself. I love when a book can do that. I read to get a break from real life and that’s exactly what Tattered accomplished here.
This was truly a great start to a new series and I will try to wait patiently for the next Lark Cove couple to fall in love with.
Wow! This book is truly the fairy tale! I loved it from start to finish! A one night stand in New York—flash forward six years later to Montana. Logan steps into a bar and rescues a frog only to come face to face with his daughter, Charlie; a daughter he did not know he had until that moment. Thea is the bartender that lights his fire. She is rags to his riches. Step into the Lark Cove Bar and you will never want to leave! 5 stars
What an amazing heartfelt book. Devney continues to show her growth with every book she releases. This one is by far my favorite.
Devney Perry does it again! This was a fantastic start to a brand new series! What a way to lead us into it. She has this ability to make her characters so real that you feel like you’ve known them your whole life. Her stories are always original, realistic, and have the sweetest endings. This book did not disappoint at all. Also… secret baby! Need I say more? I didn’t think so. Read this book! I so look forward to the next two!
Tattered is the first book in Devney Perry’s new Lark Cove Series. What an awesome book it is. Devney is such a great storyteller. Tattered delivers so many emotions, and gives one hope. This book will keep your attention until the wee hours of the night you can forget sleep. Once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down until you turn the last page. Tattered has a great plot, awesome characters based in a small town. Devney makes you feel like you are right there in the same small town alongside the characters in her book. I am looking forward to more books in this series. Absolutely loved this second chance book. I highly recommend you reading this book you will not be sorry.
I am 100% in love with all of Devney’s words, she quickly moved to my must read author after I one clicked The Coppersmith Farmhouse. I will also say I feel sad for anyone who has yet to discover her because they have no idea what they are missing out on. Tattered may be my favorite to date.
Thea & Logan
This story was so perfect, I was a tad depressed when the book ended. It gives you so much emotion and great happiness. I was so happy for the 2nd chance romance and how it all revolves around Charlie.
An amazing start to a wonderful new series!
“I like to take the Tattered and lost and make it shine.
Garbage doesn’t have to stay garbage. Things just need to find their right place”
Devney Perry did it again. Gah this author can do no wrong. She can freaking write Alpha males.
My two favorite genres surprise baby and second chance.
This book is so beautifully written with so much depth and loved the secondary characters.
We first met Logan Kendrick in the Clover Chapel were he had his heart broken by Emmeline.
Logan and Thea Landry met in a bar were Thea was a bartender and were so attracted to each other and had a hot and passionate one night stand.
6 years later Logan was on business in Montana and there in a bar he sees her again.
Love the connection and chemistry between the Hero and heroine. But what I loved the most in this book was the relation between Logan and Charlie.
It was not an instant love like you are used to, but it was about trusting and slow building.
Charlie was awesome!! Love her so much.
I’ll be waiting anxiously for Timid and Tragic.
Ps. Loved the Bonus Epilogue!!
All the stars in the Universe!!
I truly enjoyed this book. It was a beautiful and emotional love story. I look forward to more books in this series. I definitely recommend this book, this author and this series.
