Secret Haven

Sparrow Falls, Book 6

De: Catherine Cowles

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Stella Hunter

The first time I met Kyler Blackwood, he was a bruised and battered boy with fire in his eyes and nowhere safe to land.

Since the first time he kissed me, he was my best-kept secret, my quiet rebellion, my haven in the storm.

But fate forced us apart, making us pretend to be strangers because it hurt too much to be anything else.

Years later, time hasn’t dulled what we felt, has never erased the way we fit. And when Kye’s past collides with my present, everything shifts.

It’s a choice neither of us expected.

A bond that never really broke.

A line we were never meant to cross.

We tell ourselves it’s only temporary, that the arrangement is just a means to an end. But with each passing day, the lie feels more like the truth. And with each stolen touch, Kye feels more like mine. Because some things were never meant to be pretend.

And some dangers are closer than we ever imagined...

The love they shared

The whole book was amazing. I don’t know how many times a cried cause it had everything that we needed for their story.

What a journey!

Wow. What an ending to this absolutely wonderful series. Kyler and Fallon were everything I wanted them to be. They were both such layered characters that deserved everything! I enjoyed their backstory, their journey, and their love. This book had so many of my favorite things and I definitely recommend it! It was also amazing to see all the previous couples and all the dynmaics that have developed. This series might be my most favorite of Cathrine’s, which is saying something since I have loved so many of her books. Each book has touched my heart and kept me guessing the entire time. It is seriously such a joy to read Catherine’s books.

Plus, the dual narration makes these books come to life in the best way!

Absolute New Fave

Hands down, this is my new favorite book of Catherine’s and one of my TOP reads for 2025. My love for this book goes beyond feral.

What to expect:

Idk what to do with myself now. Like how do I move on after Kye and Fal? LIKE HOW!!!!

There’s not only “my wife” moments, but we get “my husband” moments. You guys!!!!!!

Kye and Fallon are two souls that have always been destined for one another. Watching their story play out was pure magic. And then the “villain”!!!! I legit had a heart stopping, WHAT?! moment. Catherine Cowles got me.

This is an absolute MUST READ book that I guarantee will give you all the feels, have your heart pumping overtime, and will be an instant favorite.

This might be the last of the Sparrow Falls series, but what a way to end it!!

Can’t believe it’s over

Wow, how do you sum up the best book you’ve ever read still never figured out who the bad person is in any of her books yet gotta say the little kid Benny and his gotta drink the YooHoo to help wash away. Anguish got his funny Kyler is my favorite Colson

An epic ending to the Sparrow Falls era!

Secret Haven is easily one of my top reads of the year! It's the end of the Sparrow Falls era and what an absolute EPIC way to end this series! If you’ve been waiting (and pining) for Kye and Fallon’s story since the beginning like I have… OMG it was everything. These two are the definition of 'it's always been you'. Their story is seriously so magical and perfect for them. It is perfect. Incredible. Absolutely AMAZING! Connor & Stella completely nailed this performance, capturing these characters so perfectly! I am still so speechless & will be thinking of Kye and Fallon along with the whole crew for a long, long time!

INFINITY STARS FOR KYLER AND FALLON

Kyler and Fallon will forever be my favorite Sparrow Falls couple.

I adored these two and their story!! I have been craving them since their banter in Fragile Sanctuary and knew there was such an emotional backstory that would hurt… and it HURT. Stung. Burned. All of the above.

But there was something so deeply beautiful and painful about this story and the characters have altered my brain chemistry forever. I love their love. And watching them learn to love despite the hurt and the pain was something truly inspiring. The way Catherine was able to paint the picture for Kyler and Fallon and then proceeded to weave them into the previous books before this one was truly magical. I knew that Kyler and Fallon would change me, and wow did they ever.

This book was easily a six-star read and one of the best books I've read in 2025!

Finally

I have been waiting for this book since the first in the series. It blew me away. The yearning, the love, the everything. It was beautiful.

Perfect end to an amazing 5-star series!

This whole series has been the absolute best and Secret Haven is easily one of my tops in this series too! This is small town, romantic suspense perfection, and we have two of my favorite tropes: single guardian and marriage of convenience.

I’d been wanting a Fallon & Kye book since the very first book in the series and I’m so glad we got their story. This journey was everything and more. I love the Colson family so much and we jump right into seeing their dynamic growing up in the prologue when Fallon is a teenager. The Colson is a blended family of siblings (adopted, foster, birth) and their love for one another and always showing up is so strong in this series. I love the siblings, their mom, and of course Grandma Lolli too! In the prologue we see Fallon and Kye spending time together secretly at school. Their connection is something tender and special and I loved this little moment with them in the prologue. One night things take a turn when Kyler is dropped off at Fallon’s home as a new foster sibling, he says they can’t tell her family they knew one another yet or that they shared a kiss. And things cut to the future from there!

This book is filled with so much emotion and heart and I loved every second. The book jumps to present day for Kye and Fallon. He’s working at his tattoo shop and is still super protective over Fallon. The longing and angst between these two is just so good. We also really get a look into the foster care system and I love how many children Fallon wants to help. One night she gets a call that changes their lives when she finds out Kye has three half-sisters in need. Kye’s feelings when he finds out his half-sisters exist and he never knew 🥺, him immediately wanting custody/guardianship of them and asking Fallon for help with the process 🤧! This has a marriage of convenience and I loved how it all played out, including who asked who. I loved the check-ins with the entire Colson crew and what a fantastic way to wrap up this wonderful series!

Narrated by Stella Hunter and Connor Crais, they both were fantastic at brining these characters to life.

Perfection

This is my favorite in the series. My heart was so full after reading the ebook. But oh my, I was so in my feels during the audiobook. The performers had my heart in such a grip. I knew this couples story was going to be special and I was not disappointed.

Finally...the story we have all been waiting for.

There are some books that you will read and enjoy...then there is Secret Haven. This book will stay with me for a very, very long time. I have loved every single book in this series and I knew that this story would be my favorite. And Catherine did not disappoint. She picked the absolute perfect narrators in Stella Hunter and Connor Crais to bring Fallon and Ky's story to life. They were able to convey all of the feelings and emotions this story brought forth and were flawless.

Ky and Fallon have been drawn together since they were teenagers. Fallon was there for Ky when no one else was. Her family even fostered him for a while and then he became a part of the Colson family forever. Ky is so protective over Fallon, especially with her job in helping kids in very bad situations that need foster care themselves. Life is about to change when Fallon is called to a home and discovers who the mother is that is currently in police custody. There are 3 girls that need her help and are connected to Ky in a way no one ever knew about.

I couldn't love this story more. With Fallon offering to help Ky with his new situation, to them becoming what we all hoped they would from the beginning of this series. I just loved that their Secret Haven turned into their forever home.

Oh, how I am going to miss these characters. This will definitely be a series that I listen to again and again.
