Publisher's summary

She's on the run...

Tessa has finally found a safe haven in Sutter Lake, hiding in plain sight - just as long as no one asks too many questions.

He can't escape...

Liam knows better than anyone how one wrong word, a single whisper can ruin a life. After seeing the darker side of fame, he's desperate to retreat and find his voice again.

Two people from opposite worlds, brought together by a connection neither expected.

But the forces they're both running from still lurk in the shadows...

And you never know when they might strike.

Heartfelt

Throughly enjoying the series. Can be read separately and reconnects with previous characters. Loved the MMC’s compassion and understanding. This book had mystery, family togetherness, love and a HEA.

Review of Beautifully Broken Life

The narrators did such a good job! Loved it!!

These are the kind of stories that need to be told. Also, I recommend reading Beautifully Broken Pieces before this book because it will give away the ending to book 1.

This book hit close to home and I felt for Tessa. This book is a small town romantic suspense. You fall in love with all it's characters. Tessa is a survivor. Liam is so patient and kind. He is exactly the kind of guy Tessa needed him to be. Liam was dealing with a situation that occurs in real life with celebrities as well. It was a very frightening situation both of these characters were in. This book had me at the edge of my seat while waiting for something to pop off. I was surprised by 1 character is all I will say because I do not want to give anything away. If Catherine Cowles writes it I will be reading it. She is the queen of romantic suspense. Absolutely loved this book. I got goosebumps at one point. This book did not disappoint.

Ohhhh

I can't believe this series keeps getting better if possible. This is a beautiful story that gives you everything you need in a story. I love it all. The narrators once again gives the listener so much emotion. if I could give more than 5 stars it would be fine.

Awesome read

Didn’t care for first book but this book was awesome. Tessa was strong willed and I was so happy for her letting Liam in. No getting scared and running and she stood up for herself. So worth the credit.

Super sweet story

Super sweet story that I wanted to keep listening to. Wish there was a little less description of their sexual relationship - still would have been amazing!

Catherine Cowles is a new author that I discovered while searching for something new to read (because I was in a book funk) and boy, am I glad I stumbled upon this series! These romantic suspense stories that take place in a small town settings filled with charm, sexy times, humor, friendship, and secrets are worth every credit spent. One of the best things for me in each of the stories is the feisty grandmother meddling and imparting her special brand of wisdom. Maxine Mitchell is a narrator that took a very long time to grow on me but she has won me over to her special brand of narration and she’s done an excellent job with this audiobook. Aaron Shedlock’s narration was good as well. He’s not as emotionally sound when performing the female voices but he delivers on the male versions of characters. I look forward to listening to the remaining books in the series 👏🏾😍🥰

So much to love!!

I loved the first one, but this was possibly even better. Drama and love. Just how I like my romance novels.

The narrators were good. But I gave them 3 stars because of the male narrator. His female versions are not that good, but his normal voice is comforting.
