The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 5)The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by this author. I enjoy their attention to details that bring the character’s world to life. Their stories have a realistic feel which makes them easy to read. This book is no different. This is a well written story about second chances, overcoming the past and the secrets it carries. Edward and Lisette are great characters that I really enjoyed. They are strong characters that have great chemistry. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout the story. You don’t want to miss their story for sure. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down and entertaining to read. This is the fifth book in the series and I highly suggest reading the previous books as well as they are just as great to read. I highly recommend this book.

An unexpected guest turns up in Port Townsend for Thanksgiving dinner at the O’Connell Compound.

The Changed ManThe Changed Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read the previous books I was rather curious about Jake so I started this hoping I’d find sone of the answers to the very many questions I had ….

Jake has resigned as CEO and is I hoping to live out his passion which is writing thrillers and one of his books have made it to NY bestseller lust and there’s talk of making a movie so I’d say he’s well in his way ! Yet he’s still nervous his family won’t approve and that’s why he writes under a pen name 🤷‍♀️ I think he should take bragging rights ! He’s talented !
Anyhoo he causes quite a stir when he heads to Port Townsend for his brother , Jake’s wedding 💒

Jake has alot going on , he has quite a bit of baggage because of family issues and he’s mourning the loss of his friend who died in front of him so cut the guy sone slack when you want to get frustrated with him ok !?

I loved every moment if this real and I fell in love with the Victorian homes and I could see myself living in one 😉🥰

Jake is also after his own HEA like his siblings and Chiara catches his eye but there’s just 2 glitches 🙈 she’s his nephews guardian and she’s married ! I’m like Sheez this guy needs a break !

At one stage I did feel like I had more questions than I did when I started this but remember patience is a virtue 😊

While the saying goes that a leopard doesn’t change its spots just be gracious and give Jake a fair chance 🥰

I did feel a lot reading this and felt I needed sone sweet comfort food when I was done 🥰🤣🙈

Cat Treadgold has not disappointed me with the 4th book in the Olympic Peninsula Series. I want to live in their world. I have been enthralled since book 1. I love that they can be read as stand alone novels, but you absolutely get so much more reading them as a series. I was eager to read this, and when I finished it, I was just… Sad it was over… I can’t wait to read more!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Olympic Peninsula series is one of my all-time favorite book series, especially as its setting is in my hometown where I grew up! Cat Treadgold is one of the best authors of contemporary romance and has an amazing gift of words that she creates a world that makes you feel invested in the characters, it’s like they’re family. She does such an amazing job of portraying the small-town living that is so Port Townsend, right down to the fact that everyone knows everyone, and is so welcoming to all. The description of the Victorian homes is spot on, everywhere you look you are surrounded by a Victorian style, it’s not typical, but one that is its own style that pays homage to Queen Anne. I was so excited when I saw that we were finally getting Jake’s story, Joe’s twin brother, and getting to understand his true personality when he gets to be himself and do what he is passionate about. What a twist to find that right from the start his love interest is none other than David’s son’s caretaker, who happens to also be in an unhappy marriage. Will Jake finally be able to continue to pursue his dreams of happiness, will his mother finally accept his lifelong dream, and will he find his happily ever after like all his other siblings have so far? You do not want to miss the next book in this series! If you have not read the other books, I recommend you go back and read them in order so that you can understand in depth all of the backstories of the characters. If you love a good contemporary romance story, with dynamic characters, based in a realistic small-town setting, you will want to jump into this book series.

I was so happy to see Jake once again and get a story from his point. This series is well set up and the character building is done so well. Emotions are high in this one as well. And I love reading anything this author has done.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my favorite book in The Olympic Peninsula series by far! I already loved the previous books so it was a no brainer that I would pick it up and enjoy it. Although you can read these as a standalone, I highly recommend reading them in order to get the full extent of the characters and background. I was excited to see that this was Jake’s story because we met him early on in his less-than-pleasant stages. He’s made enormous leaps and bounds in his life it seems, and his family isn’t sure what to make of him now. Getting to see Jake’s side of the story is eye-opening and pulls at your heartstrings. This was quite the emotional rollercoaster with plenty of angst, romance, and family ordeals. The flow of the story felt effortless which is no small feat! I highly recommend picking this up as well as the rest of the series. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the next installment, I’m on pins and needles!

The Changed Man (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 4)The Changed Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Changed Man is Book Four in the Olympic Peninsula series. It is a contemporary romance with family dynamics, drama, secrets, intrigue, mystery, suspense, angst, and conflict. The characters are interconnected from the previous books in this series, so it is best to read the previous books prior to this one. This story focus on the MC Jake O’Connell who has returned to Port Townsend for his brother David’s wedding. Jake has been estranged from the family and returned without letting anyone know that he was coming so his return causes quite a stir within his family. He has held a bit of a grudge against his brothers because they left him to run the family business while they ran off to pursue their dreams. Jake has left his life as the CEO of the family business in North Bend and has turned to a life of writing. The story focuses on how Jake has transformed his life, and the complex relationship Jake has with his family, especially his twin brother, the famous country singer Joe Bob Blade. When Jake meets Chiara, his brother’s son’s guardian, he feels an instant connection, but she is married. He wants her despite the obstacles that are standing in his way. This book builds on prior ones in the series and delves a bit deeper into the complicated lives and relationships of the O’Connell family. The characters were relatable, engaging, multi faceted, complex, and experienced tremendous growth throughout the story. The storyline was well written with intricate details that fully immerse you into the lives of this complex family.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a enjoyable read full of family drama, twist and turns and romance appearing in a place you least expect it. This is the fourth book in the Olympic Peninsula series. I would recommend reading these books in order as each book focuses on a different member of the family however characters do cross over. Plus you get a better feeling and understanding for the family and the dynamics at work.

In this story we are with Jake O’Connell. Jake moved away from the family and was CEO of the family business. He has always been a driven man stopping at nothing to succeed no matter the cost.
When he returns home for his brother David’s wedding he catches everyone by surprise. And they are even more surprised to hear he has resigned as CEO, rent a house and is now a writing thrillers. What has made this man do a complete 180 and change his life so drastically?
With his heart heavy from the loss of his friend, resentment towards his brother for leaving him with the family business so he couldn’t pursue his own dreams and finding his muse in Chiara there is a lot of emotions to work through.
This is Chiara and Jake’s story. The connection between them is instant but with Chiara being married will anything come of this flame or will it burn out?
This is a emotionally rollercoaster of a story as you witness all the family angst, as well as the complicated feelings between Jake and Chiara.
I have enjoyed every book in this series so far and I can’t wait for it to continue

This is the 4th book of the The Olympic Peninsula Series. This release was much anticipated. I couldn’t wait to be immersed into this world again. Now we finally get to have Jake’s O’Connell POV. I was waiting to see if we’d get his redemption story. This one follows Jake and Chiara’s ups and downs through the book. And ups and downs they are lol get ready to feel the feels reading this. The author always outdoes herself the more she continues to write this series.i love that we got to see the characters from the previous books. I always love when an author does that, because I often wonder about them after their books end. Jake definitely has become one of my favorite characters and I can’t wait til I see more of him in the next book. Speaking of which The 5th book The Fallen Man comes out in june of this year and i truly can’t wait to see how Cat Treadgold tops herself 🥰

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read every book in this series so far and I was beginning to wonder if the author was ever going to give Jake a redemption story. The Changed Man is finally that story. I felt for Jake in book 1 even though he was essentially one of the villains of the story. The author has introduced the reader into a wonderful world with many different characters. These books are a series best read in consecutive order. However they can be read as standalone novels too.
Dealing with the death of a friend(who now lives in his head) in front of his eyes Jake upends his life. Resigning from his job. Reuniting with his family, especially his twin Joe. Jake is trying to find himself, and he feels his writing is the best route to go. Having written a book featured on the NY Times bestseller list that’s also in talks to become a movie he feels this is the right way to go. Though he knows mom would never approve, hence his pen name.
Along the way he meets Chiara who happens to be the guardian of his brother’s son, and she’s married. Though he can’t keep his eyes off of her. He wants her despite the obstacles and things between them do get close and dicey.
He also has to deal with a habitual flirt when the actor who he wants to be the star in his movie shows up out of the blue.
Will Jake prove he’s a changed man?
What will happen between him and Chiara?
Will the impact of losing his friend be his downfall?
So many questions come up throughout this story. But again I will say I’m glad he finally got his story. And it’s probably my favorite book thus far.

The Magic Man (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 3)The Magic Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book three to The Olympic Peninsula series and even though you COULD read this without reading the others (the author does a wonderful job at explaining who everyone is and giving little tidbits to let you know what happened in the previous books), I personally would just recommend that you read them all. You don’t have to, like I said the author is wonderful, but I would. Plus once you read one you will want to read the others to learn about these wonderful characters and their somewhat odd stories/lives. In this book you read David and Maddie’s story. David returns to the family for his sister Teresa’s wedding (her book is number 2). It’s odd that he just shows up out of the blue and the rest of the family can’t quite get a read on him. He’s been a surgeon in Africa for the last four years, but he doesn’t want to discuss it. He also doesn’t want to talk about his fiancée who’s coming to visit around the holidays. Weird right? But they’re not the only guests visiting the family. Maddie who is a serious actress is also staying at the O’Connell Compound and she has a leading role at the local theater! Unfortunately her co-star is Kilo, who’s the local yoga instructor, Teresa’s ex husband, and a huge charmer of the ladies. Even though she is drawn to David, knowing he’s engaged and his life is going another direction Maddie is pulled into Kilo’s web full of charm and excitement. She’s okay with a little theater fling, but it will end when the show does. Right? David wants Maddie, but his life is so complicated right now. He left Africa for a reason, he is busy appeasing his fiancée, and he also needs to figure out some custody issues as well. These two would have been perfect for each other. Time just isn’t on their side. Their lives are not on the same path right now. If only they could hit a reset button and meet each other at another time in their lives. Such a great series!! I can’t wait to finish it!! Grab this set today if you love contemporary romances with twists and turns and even a little magic!!

This set is getting better and better with each book! The characters, what they go through, and their cute little Compound life is so great! In this book you get to meet Jake again and get to know him a bit better. He’s been the CEO of the family business and has had a small feud with his twin brother Joe for quite some time. Him showing up out of the blue for David’s wedding throws the whole family for a loop. What’s he doing here? Why now? He resigned as CEO?! What the heck. Who is this brother who has done a complete 180 with his life?? Jake seems more laid back. He rents a random weird Victorian mansion. He’s even writing books! One of which they want to make a movie!! The family once again has a hard time reading their brother. What happened to him? Who is this new man and what happened to their brother? He seems a bit haunted but much more easy going then before. While he’s rattling around Port Townsend he finds a woman that he can’t keep out of his thoughts. She’s beautiful and she doesn’t even know it. He’d love to give her everything in the world, but she’s married. Just his luck! What will he do with the ghost that haunts him and the woman he wants but can’t have?? Man of man! Such a great book. I can’t wait to read the next one!! You have to give this set a shot!! Contemporary Romance with a few twists you won’t see coming! Such a super cute family with lots of ups and downs.

Jake is finally getting to tell his own story in this saga of the O’Connell family of Port Townsend. Jake has made some changes, some of which his family is having a hard time grasping. First of all, he shows up for his brother’s wedding after being away for so long. Then, he spies Chiara from a distance. He’s immediately smitten but learns that she’s married. Then the family learns about the things that he’s been doing and they are even more mystified at this changed man standing in front of them.

This was an enjoyable read and I do recommend reading this series in order. Each book features a different family member. The family is quite large and there are times it’s hard for me to keep who’s who in order in terms of relationships. Each story builds on the last as the family expands. It’s nice seeing some stories from the very beginning til now.

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to being back with the O’Connell’s in Port Townsend and I was not disappointed. This is Jake O’Connell’s story as he causes a stir in Port Townsend having returned for his brother David’s wedding. Jake has made some dramatic changes in his life including leaving behind his enviable life as CEO of the family business in North Bend. He is now living in a rented Victorian mansion and has started a new career writing thrillers, which his friends within his old social circle disapprove off. Jake’s twin is the country heartthrob Joe Bob Blade who he has a complicated relationship with. He is also holding a grudge against his brothers who left him to be CEO of the family business whilst they followed their own dreams. Jake, who is still grieving for his friend, finds a muse in Chiara who he has an instant connection with but who is also married. This is an enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which had be hooked from start to finish. Once again the setting of Port Townsend came to life through the descriptive narrative making me feel immersed in the story. The wonderful characters both old and new all added to the story, and I love ‘catching up’ with characters from the previous books. The heartwarming storyline focusing on Jake and Chiara took me on an emotional rollercoaster and kept me happily turning the pages.

The Changed Man
The Olympic Peninsula Series Book 4

I have listened to all of the books so far and I had a hard time liking Jake due to the history and I unfortunately hold a grudge so Jake is still not a favorite of mine but that did not make me not enjoy the book. It was a great way to escape after a challenging day.

Jake’s perspective seems to change thanks to his friend Rory and that brings him back home amongst his Mom and siblings and their families. Chiara was a bonus when he got home.

My favorite things were Rory and the house Jake ended up in. It was the perfect place for Jake to end up.

We finally get the meet the missing O’Connell siblings Edward, not going to lie I’m looking forward to getting his story.

Ms. Treadgold does a good job narrating, her connection to the characters definitely adds a little something to it.

5 Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Changed Man is Book 4 of the Olympic Peninsula Series and I have enjoyed every book so far in this series but this is my favorite (so far 😊). I highly recommend listening to this series in order as you get to know the characters and I loved this story getting to know Jake in this book. This author gives me all the feels of romance, family drama, angst and definite roller coaster of emotions in this story.

Jake O’Connell is back in town…attending his brother’s upcoming wedding. When Jake resigns from his company…and being in town…things can seem tense. With a new career on the horizon as a writer… Jake also fights with the emotions of losing a friend and also charming the likes of Chlara….

Definitely give this a listen to find out what happens … and I love that the author narrates her own book.

As we continue to follow the stories of each member of this talented family we meet Jake O’Connell. Jake, who has quite the successful career in business has decided to leave that life behind and showed back up to Port Townsend. There he instantly rocks the boat, especially when he meets Chiara. Chiara is married to a man who clearly doesn’t love her and she is quickly swept away by Jake. This is a sweet romance with many ups and downs and ultimately ending in a surprise ending. This book continues to bring new and surprising things to the surface with members of the family having special talents. It could get a bit confusing at times as there are so many characters and it doesn’t focus solely on Jake and Chiara but overall, a good read.

Book 4 in the Olympic Peninsula Series and this author has done it again. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and highly recommend them all. while they could be read as stand alone stories, I do suggest that they are read in order because the characters do overlap in these books and you will see how they grow and continue developing their relationships. It is really cool that even though this is Jake’s story, we still get to follow Joe and Ali and how their lives are developing together. Love, love, love this series!

This book had me on the edge of my seat with so much happening so soon (not a bad way to start a book) by the way. From the relationship with his twin brother to the other characters, Jake is a man on his own embracing a new environment. the way that everything shaped Jake into being more than who he is beautiful as he handles his own. Dealing with his own painful strides, Jake is overcoming it in a way that’s heroic at least in my eyes.
I’m glad I read this book as it led me to trust myself more and the position I’m in at the present moment. Great message, great read: get you a copy!

The Changed Man (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 4)The Changed Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love getting my hands on another book in this series as they are each as good as the last one I read. this book is exactly what I have come to expect as well. It is well written story with a great plot and fantastic characters. They are complicated and interesting and so easy to connect with. For me, these are the kind of characters that carry a story and I want to find out more about.
This author has really shown off her writing style with this series and it has definitely caught my attention. I have enjoyed each and every book so far and this one is no exception. I am looking forward to my next book by this author.

The Changed Man Audio Book (The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 4) by Cat Treadgold

 

The Changed Man  Audio Book is the fourth book in The Olympic Peninsula Series.  This series just keeps getting better and better with each new book. I’ve truly enjoyed listening to this series and this one may be my favorite yet.  The narrator does an amazing job bringing the characters to life with different tones of their voice.  I literally listened to this every break and on my way home I had to know what was going to happen next.  I just want to say if you haven’t already started this series I highly recommend starting with the first book. It’s a great series and you get back story on what’s been going on and get to know the characters better.  Im not going to give anything away. I highly recommend giving this a listen to find out how things turn out for Jake. I’m looking forward to reading/listening to more from this Author.

4/5 stars

I am such a fan of this series. The author does such a fantastic job of portraying family dynamics and family relationships. Though this is book 4 and it’s focus is on Jake and his slow burn relationship with Chiara,we see the relationships still developing with the other couples. We also get to see him work on rebuilding his relationship with Joe and his other family members. This book, heck the whole series, hits me in the feelers. I always come away feeling every emotion. These guys feel like they could be part of your family or close friends. They are easy to relate to. Such a strong writing style that pulls you in and you are engaged until the end. Hearing it in audio provides a new level to it in the way of feeling those emotions when it comes to the relationships. Every time Chiara would real to Lorenzo about Miss Bigfoot, I swear I woul loose it and spit what I was drinking out. This might be my favorite among the series. I loved the narration. It was fantastic all around.
