Some stories stay with you forever. Some characters feel like old friends. Isobelle Cate writes both. Her books are full of love that surprises, second chances that feel real, and people who’ve been through heartbreak but find the courage to love again. Every story she tells reminds us that hope is never lost, and love always finds a way.
Her characters are alive, flawed, brave, funny, and achingly human. Whether it’s a sweeping romance or a touch of magic, her stories pull you in and refuse to let go.
Off the page, Isobelle is just as captivating. She’s warm, thoughtful, and a little delightfully quirky someone who loves quiet afternoons with a book, the smell of baking drifting through the house, and the gentle rhythm of crocheting. She lives in Manchester with her family and their tiny, fearless goldfish, Ninja, who somehow makes every day a little more interesting.
Readers don’t just come for her stories, they stay for her heart. Isobelle’s words comfort, inspire, and remind us that even when life feels impossible, love has a way of finding us.
I have been waiting for Alain's story and it did not disappoint. Alain is still recovering from his injuries and getting use to his new found family of the Cynn Cruor. He and Vivienne meet in a most unexpected way, but Alain felt protective of her from the get go and wants to help her. Seeing the internal struggle Vivienne goes through with who she thinks she is along with feeling unable to trust anyone including herself had me so sad for her. We get plenty of action not only from Alain and the Cynn Cruor, but Vivienne also knows how to hold her own and of course the Scatha Cruors are always in the mix. I really enjoyed seeing both Alain and Vivienne grow and fall for each other throughout the book as well as seeing old familiar faces. This isn't a short book so I highly recommend you clear your evening as I really did not want to put this down until the end.
