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 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.

genuinely hate surprise baby tropes. dont even know why i bothered finishing it up
I started this series on audio because the library had it, and this first book did not disappoint at all! I love Devney Perry's writing and story telling, it's familiar and reliable. Tattered follows Thea, a woman with a troubled past who sought solace in Lark Cove, and Logan, a wealthy man from New York. After a one night stand 6 years ago, Logan finds himself in Lark Cove doing work for his foundation. He doesn't expect to run into Thea, the woman from 6 years ago, and he doesn't expect her to have a daughter. I loved the way this trope was written so much, it's not always a favorite, but Devney did it justice. I really liked the romance between Thea and Logan— tension, spice, all the things I like. A little bit of a mysterious/suspense element always keeps the pages turning, and this was no exception. Tattered is an adult romance, 18+ for sexual content.
4-Stars
This was a great start to the series! This was my first book by this author, & I have to say that i'll definitely be checking out her other work. This novel was very sweet and had just a tiny hint of suspense to it.
Brief Summary: Thea met Logan 6 years ago in a bar in New York. They had one amazing lust-filled night together & then they parted ways. Skip forward 6 years & Logan finds Thea again on a business trip to Montana, where he then learns that their one night of passion produced more than just fond memories, he's now a father to a little girl named Charlie.
This book is a beautiful mixture of love, friendship & parenthood.
Some things that I really liked about this book?:
-Thea. She was AMAZING. I like for my heroine to be strong, which she was & I absolutely adored her character.
-I love how there wasn't a big fight about Logan not knowing that he was a father. He got a little pissed (understandably) but they both were adults about the whole situation.
-Charlie. I love how she wasn't a girlie-girl, she was all tomboy and I think that it added a different aspect to the story.
-I loved the author's writing style, it was easy to read & fast paced. I only had one issue, but we'll get to that in a moment.
-Logan. I had my issue's with him, but he really was a good person with a good heart.
Some issues I had with this book:
-Ugh. The sex scenes. I'm not a prude & I love to read a good sex scene like any of you, but when words like wet cunt are thrown in there all willy-nilly it just makes my skin crawl.
-The little ‘suspense' bit was weird, I think it should've been scrapped from the book completely.
-Logan killed me with the whole moving to NY thing, I felt like he only had his best interest at heart where that was concerned.
There wasn't much that I didn't like, so definitely a 4 star read for me. As of right now i'm almost finished with book 3 in this series! I would definitely recommend this to fans of the Romance genre.
