Twenty-four-year-old truck stop waitress and single mother Catherine Wright has simple goals: to give her five-year-old daughter a happy life and to never again be the talk of the town in Balsam, Pennsylvania: population two thousand outside of tourist season.
And then one foggy night, on a lonely road back from another failed attempt at a relationship, Catherine saves a man’s life. It isn’t until after the police have arrived that Catherine realizes exactly who it is she has saved: Brett Madden, hockey icon and media darling.
Catherine has already had her fifteen minutes of fame and the last thing she wants is to have her past dragged back into the spotlight, only this time on a national stage. So she hides her identity. It works.
For a time.
But when she finds the man she saved standing on her doorstep, desperate to thank her, all that changes. What begins as an immediate friendship quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Something that Catherine isn’t sure she can handle; something that Catherine is afraid to trust.
Because how long can an extraordinary man like Brett be interested in an ordinary woman like Catherine…before the spark fades?
Until It Fades is a fantastic read. Engaging and uplifting, it will remind you of the good in the world. Tucker seamlessly blends the ordinary with the extraordinary. Balancing memorable, extraordinary characters in ordinary everyday life situations.
Life in Balsam, Pennsylvania for Catherine Wright is trying. She’s had her share of heartbreak and disappointment. Finding a good man seems an impossible task. What I appreciate most about Catherine is her ability to keep life in perspective, never wallowing or thinking anyone owes her anything, she continues to make her way.
Enter Brett Madden ~ aka Mr. Super Swoon Worthy. My word! He’s a keeper, and that’s saying something because he brings with him a spotlight Catherine is desperate to avoid. I love that the reader gets to see who he is, his highs and lows. Whether he’s Number Eighteen or just Brett, you know his smile is genuine, and his words are true.
Add in a precocious five-year-old , Brenna, and you have the makings of more than a few giggles and sweet moments. I adored her moments with Brett.
Until It Fades is magical. Your heart will melt, and w hen you turn the last page, you’ ll be smiling. Dreams do come true. K.A. Tucker’s writing is a dream showing absolutely no signs of fading.
