BLURB
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 three thousand outside of tourist season).
And then one foggy night, on a lonely road back from another failed date, Catherine saves a man’s life. It isn’t until after the police have arrived that Catherine realizes exactly who it is she has rescued: 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. There’s an immediate connection, and it’s more electric than the bond of two people who endured a traumatic event. It’s something neither of them expected. Something that Catherine isn’t sure she can handle; something she 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?

REVIEW
4 stars for Until It Fades!
K.A. Tucker is one of my favourite authors so I was excited to read this book, however, this is nothing like K.A. Tucker has written in the past. This book is like a completely different side of her that no one has seen before when it comes to her books.
I’ll start off by saying that this book is a very slow build. The characters take their time before they become more than friends. Brett is a famous hockey player who can make you swoon like any other, he’s grounded, caring, generous and kind. He was the perfect man, however, sometimes I felt like he was too perfect. Everyone has their flaws right? I was waiting to discover what Brett’s were since Catherine’s were focused on. Catherine is a sweet heroine, she needs to learn how to trust someone again. We learn about her past at the beginning but nothing about it feels rushed, it's all revealed perfectly.
This story felt like a modern fairy-tale just like it promises. Catherine learns to trust and love again with Brett. This is definitely a softer side to K.A. Tucker but her writing style is always amazing and she always ends up drawing me in. This is such a cute and sweet romance story for anyone that loves romance! I recommend!
