So obsessed with all the characters

I love Catherine’s books. This family is so perfect. I eat up every book and can’t wait for the next. The bonds and growth of each character is so amazing. The stories are always perfect. Ugg. Swoon.

Cope Colson <3

She has done it again. Every time I feel like I say the same things but each time I am blown away.

She continues to surprise me with the suspense aspect and the romance side is just as good each and every time.

Cope and Sutton were no different this time and I really enjoyed it.

Can’t wait for the next one!

Sutton and Cope

Such a sweet story. Happy tears! I loved how Sutton and Cope found each other

These two!!

The first time Cope and Sutton meet was perfect. I was laughing so hard and I just couldn't wait to see what would develop between them. Sutton and her son Luca are just so adorable, and it was so fun seeing the previous couples in this one! Cope was a wonderful character and I loved how he dealt with Luca and Sutton. There is just something so special about getting to see the depth in the funny/easygoing one of the family, and seeing how much depth there really is. Catherine Cowles is really giving us a list of new book boyfriends with this Sparrow Falls series! The Reaper is definitely on that list! Also, can we talk about all of these nicknames!? I am loving seeing what these guys come up with.

I finally knew who the bad guy was, but it still didn't take anything away from this amazing story. I loved their journey, the suspense, and the whole Colson family. This family is just a patchwork of amazingness and I am sincerely looking forward to seeing the HEAs that are coming. I have loved every single book so far, and I just know that there is more goodness to come! I am specifically hoping for two adoptive siblings, but we shall see what happens! I definitely recommend this series!!

The narration was great too! It’s always amazing to get dual narration with these books!

An emotional story with a bit of suspense!

An emotional story with a bit of suspense. Cope and Sutton are perfect for each other. Both having to overcome past trauma and in Cope’s case, letting go of guilt. Cope’s patchwork of siblings are hilarious with their group texting. And we can’t forget Lolli and all her ridiculousness but such a wonderful character.

Erin Mallon’s narration is always on point. She brings the characters to life with all the emotions and her male voice is one of the best.

Connor Crais have a pleasant voice but I’m still trying to get used to his style as it feels very monotone sometimes.

Catherine Cowles has become a favorite…

Good stories, ample 🔥🔥, fun and engaging characters. What’s not to like? It’s easy listening but that’s sometimes what’s needed.

I loved Cope and Sutton and Cope’s relationship with her son, Luca!

Broken Harbor by Catherine Cowles is the third book in the Sparrow Falls series, and it’s easily my favorite in the series so far! This story is an emotional rollercoaster that had me tearing up more than once, touching my heart in the most beautiful ways.

Sutton is a dedicated single mom to her 7-year-old son, Luca. She runs her own bakery, The Mix Up, determined to make a success of her business and provide the best life possible for her son. When Cope, a professional hockey player, comes back to town during the off-season to coach a kids' hockey camp, his path crosses with Sutton’s. He just so happens to be Luca’s idol, which adds an extra layer of connection between them.

As life would have it, circumstances bring Sutton and Cope even closer when he offers her a place to stay after her landlord raises her rent. Cope, dealing with the trauma of surviving a tragic car crash that took the lives of his father and brother, and Sutton, carrying her own past wounds of a shitty ex-husband who put her and their son in danger, find solace and healing in each other. Their journeys to overcome personal struggles and support one another are truly moving and make this book a standout.

Broken Harbor is an unforgettable story of love, resilience, and finding hope in the most unexpected places. Catherine Cowles has outdone herself with this heartfelt romance that is packed with raw emotion and genuine connection. I loved every moment of it!

This series is AWESOME!!!

Each book I read in the series is FANTASTIC!! They are all filled with family, love, chosen family, friendship, romance and suspense with a surprising twist!! Cowles has definitely won me over as a reader, this is my first series by her and I’m so in love with her stories!! AL Jackson, a favorite author of mine, got me to give her a try and I’m so glad she did!!!

I FREAKING LOVE these characters, complex and damaged from their past, but they find each other and heal with love! This one had Sutton’s boy, Luka, and Cope is his Hockey idol!! I loved these three and how much Cope loved Sutton and Luka and wanted to give them everything!! The epilogue was THE BEST!!!! “Love you more than bees love honey”

On to book four!!

Emotional, romantic and action packed

Oh my heart, Cope, Sutton and Luca have stolen it. “Broken Harbor” is an emotional, romantic and action packed small town hockey romance that was the perfect addition to the “Sparrow Falls” series.

Ever since leaving her drug addict husband, it’s just been Sutton and her son, Lucas. She’s a baker and owns “The Mix-Up” and has all the struggles as a business owner and a single mom. On a particularly rough day, she meets Lucas’ coach for hockey camp, Cope Colson. Cope is a professional hockey player and is back home for the summer and agrees to coach the youth summer camp. He also has close ties with the family that has taken Sutton in and they end up spending time together. Sutton is still burned from her marriage and Cope is convinced that he doesn’t deserve happiness. But when Sutton needs Cope, he’s there to help and as they spend time together, feelings start to develop. But problems with Cope’s professional team and problems from Sutton’s past start to come to light.

The way I devoured this book in one sitting because I could not stop listening. I was pulled in immediately with Sutton’s back story and I had loved her from the previous books. Sutton is a fierce mama bear who will do whatever she needs to so Lucas can be happy and achieve his dreams, like playing hockey. She’s a woman who just wants to be happy and feel safe, something that Sparrow Falls can offer her. And Cope… his backstory broke my heart. The pain he went through and the silent suffering just tugged at my heartstrings. He would do anything for his family and that shines throughout the book. That also quickly included Sutton and Lucas, I loved how without hesitation he was there when she needed him. Their romance was a slow and teasing burn but once we got there, it was sizzling hot (hello bar office scene). Once again, Catherine throws a plot twist in the book that I didn’t see coming. The epilogue was perfect and brought some happy tears to my eyes.

Connor Crais and Erin Mallon narrated this audio in dual narration and I loved listening to them. Connor’s narration was vulnerable and protective, just like Cope. And Erin had me enraptured as she brought the kind and caring Sutton to life. Having Connor and Erin narrate an audiobook is always a great listen and they were amazing as Cope and Sutton.

Performers me feel everything

I thought I hit my max in feels reading the ebook, I was so wrong. Listening to these performers bringing Cope and Sutton’s story to life was beyond what I expected. I didn’t know that their cadence could make me enjoy this story any more than I already did. I felt every-freaking-thing.
