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 love a good emotional story that gives you all the feelings but Tattered is not just good… it’s AMAZING!
It’s not a secret that I love secret babies stories, but this one has more story than just a secret baby, it also has a second chance at love and at being happy.
Thea and Logan had a one night stand, with a chemistry out of the charts… it was a shame they realized that later when it was too late…
After a few years and with a new vision of life, Logan is back in Montana for work and destiny put him in the way he had wanted all these years back: in Thea’s way, but she wasn’t alone…
Thea never wanted to hide something so important from Logan but she had no choice and this takes her to start a new life for her and her baby.
Thea has overcome her past and fears, she is strong and a good mom, and with Charlie she has what she has always wanted: a family. But when Logan comes back after all these years, she realizes she now wants The Imposible, but now she has to think of Charlie’s needs first.
Logan regretted not coming back and give a chance to what he felt could lead to something with Thea when he first met her, but after a few years later he has another chance, only he didn’t expect to find more than a second chance with Thea…
There is no way to deny the chemistry between these two since the moment they saw each other again, it was like the years hadn’ passed but now there is someone more important than them.
Logan was shocked at first with the news and both Thea and Logan were hurt but I loved how Thea thought first of Charlie instead of all the feelings and things she felt for Logan, how she helps Logan with all the changes. Logan and Thea come from different words that will collide soon and could end every chance they believed they had for a second chance.
“Make love to me, Logan. That’s what I want. Give me something to remember. “
Maybe she doesn’t have him, but she will always have a part of him.
4.5 Stars
I LOVED this book. I think I say that with every Devney Perry book but it’s true. I’m blown away with every new release. I really shouldn’t be surprised when I get a new book from her… spoiler alert: you pick up a Perry book, you’re going to love it.
If you know me at all, you know I love me some single parent romance… add in the fact that it’s the hero’s kid and I’m there with bells, buzzers, tinsel, and lights on!
Thea is a strong and independent woman just trying to provide for her happy, healthy daughter. Logan (who we met in The Clover Chapel) is a workaholic chained to his desk… well, cell phone. But when he finds out that the woman who he shared one incredible night with-and can’t forget-is in the same small town that he is visiting for work, has a daughter… his daughter, he drops what he can to get to know his little girl.
I loved getting a novel with a strong female lead. I feel like most books now, they are trying to write a strong heroine but it doesn’t pan out. Thea is the exception. I loved their little girl, Charlie. She was happier playing with rocks and frogs in her fort than she was in a stuffy dress.
And Logan… *sigh* Logan was dreamy. I seriously love a man with a kid. He was so sweet and kind when it came to Charlie… Y’all just have to read this.
*NOTE: BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE BONUS EPILOGUE AT THE END OF THE BOOK!*
The feeling of being in love. It’s one of the reasons I watch old black and white movies. Simple. Beautiful. Heartfelt. Without all the special effects. Just simple love stories.
I’ve been trying to think of a way to review Devney Perry, to put into words how her books make me feel. It’s a love story without all the special effects. And I’m just consumed.
Tattered (Lark Cove Series) is a spinoff off the Jamison Valley Series. Located in the beautiful state of Montana. Though I’ve never been Devney is so descriptive, I’ve been there through her words.
The hero is wealthy, but there is something so unpretentious about him you immediately connect. He’s hardworking, intelligent, a tad bit arrogant, but his heart is as good as it gets. That’s what Devney does, she gives her hero’s heart.
The heroine is determined. She’s not a pushover, she handles her own and she is every woman. Her love is as forceful as a gale. Devney, gives her women courage and determination, and so much compassion.
Trying to find one’s way home is not the easiest of journeys. There are so many obstacles along the path. Logan and Thea are working to overcome the hardships in their way. Because one thing they both know, home is with each other.
There is something special about the romance that Devney can put in a story. Simple, yet heartfelt.
There is something special about the way her words touch every emotion one has. Powerfully, yet tender.
There is something special about the way she draws you in. Completely, yet quietly.
There is just something special about Devney Perry. Quite simply, a breath of fresh air.
She is truly in my top ten list of favorite authors! Devney, five stars is what you’ve earned and what I gladly give.
This is my second Deveny Perry book and i am so glad i picked this one up i just wanted to read a single parent book and this one exceeded my expectations.
I loved Thea she was such a strong character and stood by her daughter and had not wanted Charlie to experience anything she had as a child and loved the devotion to Charlie.
I loved Charlie she was one of the sweetest characters I’ve read she melted my heart and loved her little personality it was really special.
And Logan he thought he had it all figured out but I loved his journey through this book and it made his character pretty special as well.
This book had it all romance a little suspense, it was steamy and just a great storyline.
Can’t wait to read more in this series really loving it
First book that I have read by Devney. Will not be the last!! I just found my one click author!!
Wish had a Logan! Loved the characters.
Tattered is the first book in the Lark Cove series, it is a sweet romance with a dash of suspense.
Thea and Logan met while Thea was working at a NYC hotel bar, they had a one-night stand no last names or numbers were exchanged. When Thea finds out she is pregnant she has no choice but to Montana where she will have help.
Six years later while Thea is working in her bar in Lark Cove in walks Logan. Not only is he surprised to see Thea but what a shock to see an adorable little girl (Charlie) that looks a lot like him!!
Absolutely love this story, epilogue was everything that I love!!
Waited a month for this, for my turn, with my library’s audio copy because the cover’s pretty.
That was a let down!
This book is DULL … so very dull.
3 stars because the writing’s not bad, it just completely lacks in originality. One of those, you can tell how the entire book is going to play out from 2 sentences within the first chapter.

Spanish & English Opinion
ESP ::
¡Qué libro tan cute! La escritura es fluida, dinámica, la historia es muy linda y tiene momentos “swoony” y otros muy hot.
Los personajes me encantan y también el pueblo (me dan mil ganas de ir a Montana a un lugar así). Logan y Thea son un “second chance romance” y su historia es realmente linda. También me intriga saber qué pasará con Jackson
Recomendada como un libro light, entretenido y con personajes interesantes.
ENG ::
What a cute story! The writing is friendly, entertaining and the plot is nice, hot and swoony.
The characters are really cool! Not only the main ones, but the secondary ones as well. The place (a little town in Montana) sounds incredible and I wish I could go!
Logan and Thea are a second chance romance with twists and surprises that keep the story interesting.
Light cook reading!
This was an excellent way to kick off a new series. I loved Logan and Thea. I enjoyed the building tension and angst, all the heartfelt emotion, and sweet moments happening. Tattered was a really wonderful read!
A steamy romance with a HEA ending to put a smile on your face. The characters are well developed and relatable with the ability to stir all your emotions. I’d definitely recommend this book!
*4 Stars*
I enjoyed this story and this introduction to Lark Cove. I didn’t really like Logan when I had previously met him, but he is fabulous in this book. I loved his dedication to Thea and Charlie, and whilst he was a little blind for a while about some things, he eventually worked them out and was on the right page.
I liked all the secondary characters in this too, and I really look forward to learning more about them as the series progresses.
Devney Perry is so great at writing small town romance, and I definitely recommend.
I loved Tattered so much. This is the first book I’ve read by Devney Perry and I am already hooked. I can’t wait to read the rest in this series. I loved picturing Lark Cove. I loved Logan and Thea’s story. Even though Logan was trying to pressure Thea and Charlie to move to New York (which upset me) I really liked how he quickly understood that it wouldn’t happen and did what was right for Thea and his daughter Charlie. My heart broke for Thea and everything that she had been through as a baby/child/teenager but she sure did overcome!
Ms. Perry is the queen of small town romance and Tattered checked off all the right marks.
This second chance, surprise child was such an endearing read. Thea and Logans lives are as different as could but one night has connected them for life but Logan doesn’t even know. Fast forward six years and the woman he could never forget is in front of him but so is a little girl who he cannot deny is his own flesh and blood. Will the differences in their lives keep them apart or will the love of a little girl and the spark that still sizzles between them be enough to bridge the gap.

Thea Landry has always been alone, her mother didn’t want her and she was raised in an orphanage. Although Thea had a rough life, she persevered and is doing the best she can to stay above water. As a bartender though she keeps to herself and does her work, but then one night she meets Logan Kendrick and they spend one night together that leads her to making a big lifestyle change.
Logan arrives in Montana for work expecting to only be there one night. When Logan sees Thea again though he knows she is a woman he has never stopped thinking about. What he doesn’t realize is that the night they were together led to a life changing path for Thea and now he knows he can’t walk away. He doesn’t know if Thea will agree to starting over with him but he certainly is going to try his best. The only problem is he a man who is used to having it all while Thea is a woman who is used to the simple things in life. Can two opposites come together and start a future despite the hurdles in their paths?
There are so many other plot twists that go on in this story. I thought Thea was a heroine who was strong, focused and inspiring. I liked the pace of this story and while I had read that this author was overly angsty, I did not feel that at all. I felt the conflicts that arose were realistic and i liked that they talked everything out. Excellent story, first book by author and eager to read more.
Another beautifully written story by Devney Perry. Tattered has everything you’re looking for in a second chance romance: angst, steam, misunderstandings, and secrets. Thea and Logan’s chemistry is so hot I’m surprised my kindle didn’t catch on fire while reading it!
I love this book
Tattered by Devney Perry a five-star read that will leave you in Tatters. This is number one in the Lark Cove series and I don’t want to do an injustice to this story so I’m keeping it short and sweet and just gonna say you need this story in your life. Thea and Logan are meant to be they are fated and written in the stars, but the journey they will take, will take you on one that you won’t forget.
This book is funny, and sweet and all the things a good romance book should be. I really enjoyed it!
Thea Landry abandoned, addicted to heroin, and left for dead in a dumpster is not the best way to start out in life. Tattered clothing and shoes were a part of her life growing up in an orphanage in New York City, it was never easy. Dreaming of having a family of her own or a mom to call her own, struggling to make a lasting connection stayed with Thea. That was until she meets a man while tending bar, Logan Kendrick. Logan, a handsome entertaining and charismatic man takes interest in her she consents to a one-night stand. Months later she wishes that she at least got a last name or number, but what’s done is done. Until years later their lives collide again. Tattered is a metaphor for life, taking garbage and turning it into beautiful art. I fell in love with Devney Perry’s writing and now just getting caught up with her library. So far, I love this series and I’m looking forward to reading the other three books.
