The whole series of Beautifully Broken Life (Sutter Lake Series) was a great read! I was in a rut that I would start books but not finish them. Nothing was real satisfying me. (I do read ALOT!) I just couldn’t find anything that hit the spot. This series is it! It satisfied my hunger and I had NO problem reading it all the way through. And then the next book and the next. A reading binge!

GAH! Romantic Suspense is a weakness of mine, and this one certainly hit all the marks for me. Beautifully Broken Life is a beautiful tale of romance, but so much more than that. It’s a story of grief and heartache. It’s a story of accepting the past and learning to move forward in life. It is a story of hope and the strength of love. And it’s one that will tug at your heart strings, but leave you smiling and crying tears of joy in the end.
Beautifully Broken Life follows the story Tessa and Liam. Tessa is on the run trying to escape an abusive past at the hands of her ex-fiancee. Thanks to close friend, she has everything she needs to start over in the small town of Sutter Lake. Tessa is a kind and gentle soul who is trying so hard to be brave, but is very frightened of her past. She is always looking over her shoulder with a packed bag nearby, prepared to leave at any sign of suspicion. She eventually settles in, makes new friends and takes on a new job at the bakery, but finds it hard to truly let anyone in. She knows that if her ex were to ever find her, he wouldn’t hesitate to hurt or kill in order to get to her.
Liam is a famous musician that hails from LA. His life has been pure hell lately. Dealing with a psychotic stalker and the pressure to produce new music is starting to take a toll. So he escapes to Sutter Lake to spend some time with old friends. Maybe here he can clear his head and lay low for a while. To heal from the darkness of his past, and find the inspiration to get back to writing again. When he spots Tessa in the bakery, he is immediately drawn to her unique beauty. She is just the muse he needs as the words suddenly start flowing again. But getting past her safeguards is not going to be an easy task. Her heart is guarded, and the walls are firmly in place. He will have to tread carefully in the process of trying to earn her trust and love.
Watching Tessa and Liam together was both beautiful and magical. They were both hiding and trying to heal from their dark pasts. Then when their pasts came back to haunt them, this is where things got really intense. The author takes you on such an emotional journey full of angst, drama, romance and suspense. It was so masterfully written and filled to the brim with everything that I love. The characters were wonderful, and the plot was well developed. This book is sure to be a hit as I know it was with me.

The Queen of slow burn does it again!
Tessa is broken and doesnt trust anyone, especially men. But Liam Fairchild is sure gonna try to get her to trust him. This is a story of two people broken and trying to find a new start, and together they begin to find some peace. Catherine has created yet another magical book. Her characters are so relatable and amazing. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I cannot recommend this book enough.

What a addition to the series. Tessa just broke my heart. No one should have to live with the conditions she has. I was happy to see her face her problem and stand up to it.
Liam on the other hand is trying to find his way out of his problems. He has found fame is not what he really wanted. He loves music and wants the creative side to it and skip the public side. When he meets Tessa something changes for both of them. Liam has to use all the patience he has to pull Tessa out of her reluctance to have anything to do with him. Together they seem to fit but the outside issues makes it impossible to just live their lives. I was glad the author told this story so well. She addressed Tessa’s issues and shows a path that is good for women in this situation to follow. I appreciated Liam’s concern and involvement in trying to protect Tessa. He comes across as a great guy. The story has a great flow and the characters are very likable. I can’t wait for the next in this series.

This a series that seems to get more amazing with each book. Walker was beyond incredible but now it is time for Liam’s story and he definitely sweeps us away.
Liam is a Rockstar that is tired of his life in Hollywood, but then an incident takes place that sends him running to Sutter Lake. All he wants to do is live his life the way he wants and write the music that he wants to write, but at the moment he is suffering from some serious writer’s block until he literally runs into Tessa.
Tessa is a sweet, kind, but quiet person that has been in Sutter Lake for a few years now, but hasn’t made too many friends or had much of a relationship of any kind except for the Cole family. She is running away from her old life also and she is always looking over her back because she has secrets that could be dangerous to her and everyone else. Liam makes it his mission to get close to Tessa because not only has she became his muse but he is deeply attracted to her. He is incredibly patient with her and accepts her the way she is, as does she with him.
I absolutely loved this book, it was full of emotions and passion. The author has brought these characters and this small town to life where us readers can actually feel their emotions and develop an attachment to such an amazing stories.

Words cannot begin to describe how amazing of a story this is. No matter how hard I try I cannot find the right words to do this justice. It has everything you could want from drama, suspense, heartache and love. Tessa and Liam are strong and resilient characters that needed that extra push from one another to get to their happy ending. Both have suffered and find solace in one other after time. You feel every word and emotion so much that you have to stop and breathe before continuing to find out what happens next. This series is fantastic and one that does not disappoint. If I could give ten stars I would because every box for what you want in a story is checked off.

Beautifully Broken Life. Just. Wow. I thought Beautifully Broken Pieces (book 1 in this interconnect series) was amazing, but BBL was incredible! Liam and Tessa’s journey to finding their happily ever after is bumpy (euphemism, btw) but oh, so worth it. I don’t want to give too much away because it’s best to go into this book blind, it just makes it so much better.
I’m gonna be honest, I had no idea what to expect after our brief encounters with Tessa in BBP but Catherine Cowles blew me away. She had me hooked from page 1 and did not let me go (to the point where I was getting irritated that I had to stop to adult lol). If you haven’t gotten my message yet: READ THIS BOOK! I recommend reading Beautifully Broken Pieces first to avoid spoilers, but Beautifully Broken Life can be read as a standalone.

Sometimes you run across a book that just sucks you in from the start and totally consumes you, Beautifully Broken Life is that book for me. Catherine Cowles has such a way with words that make you forget that you are reading a book and makes you feel like you know her characters and are personally invested in their happily ever after. Catherine tackled an incredibly heartbreaking subject of domestic violence but did it in a way that was incredibly beautiful. Tessa’s past broke my heart the more we learned what she went through, but Liam put the pieces back together one page at a time. I can’t not stress enough how amazing I thought this book was. This is a MUST read!

Tessa is hiding from a dark and tragic past but she has found a new home and place in Sutter Lake. She is working at the local tea shop as their baker and at the horse rescue/rehabilitation that her boss runs. She is safe and content. But then in rolls Liam, the famous musician, trying to escape his own demons/issues in Los Angeles. They are both trying to hide but they can’t seem to stay away from each other and when one is world famous it is hard to keep the media away which means Tessa’s past can now find her.
Another amazing book by this author. I was hooked from the very beginning and devoured it as fast as I could. I adored how endearing Liam was and how much he just wanted to know and protect Tessa. I am usually not a big fan of the slow burn but for their story it was perfect and I loved how Liam recognized that he needed to take things slow with Tessa. My heart broke for Tessa but rejoiced at how brave she grew to be. I felt all the feels deep down with these two.

I couldn’t wait to dive back into this amazing world after reading book 1. I was not disappointed, I was hooked from the very first page to the last. I couldn’t put it down and was finished before I realized it.
Tessa and Liam were just beautiful together. I loved how they found each other in Sutter Lake. Tessa’s background was heartbreaking and I loved how Liam was able to help her heal in every way. I was so moved by how strong Tessa was and how much she grew during this book..Liam and Tessa’s story made for such a swoon worthy read

I recently picked up a book that as I was reading I kept thinking, I know these characters. Turns out I really didn’t. Some of the characters had the same names and the relationships between those characters were extremely similar to those of Beautifully Broken Pieces, the first book in this series. But, they were not by the same author and were not related. Anyway, I guess my point is that this is a series that sticks with you long after you’ve finished the book.
Beautifully Broken Life is book two of the Sutter Lake series by Ms. Cowles. It is every bit as intriguing, heart wrenching, and uplifting as the first book was. Liam was the secondary character who caught my eye the most in the first book. This is his story. He is a world-famous rock star who is suffering from writer’s block. He’s on a deadline and nowhere near being able to meet it. That’s why he’s escaped to Sutter Lake. Tessa was more of a background character in the first book, but she is front and center in this one. She managed to escape an abusive relationship two years ago and has been hiding out in Sutter Lake ever since. She catches Liam’s attention and her life is about to change in ways she could never imagine. Some of those changes are good and others are not.
This one is easier to figure out whodunit than the first book, but that doesn’t make it any less intense. If you enjoy a fast-paced story with interesting characters, a lot of heart, and a little mystery you’ll enjoy this series.

Liam and Tessa are perfect together. They started out as friends and their relationship was slow-burn, but it blossomed into something beautiful. Liam is the definition of a southern gentleman. He’s very understanding and patient with Tessa. He cares for her so much and is protective of her and wants nothing but for her to live happily. Tessa is beautiful, a talented baker, and incredibly strong. She’s gone through so much, but doesn’t want to keep living in fear and holding back from the good things in life. This was such a beautiful and heartwarming story. Catherine kept me on the edge of my seat with her suspenseful twists, and tugged at my heartstrings with everything the characters felt and went through. She delivered another beautifully written small town romance!
Liam Fairchild is a famous musician; a mix of southern rock and country. But he’s realizing that this life he has been living isn’t what he really wants anymore. Something went down with a fan that he is hoping won’t surface and won’t become big news. He needs to keep his head down and get out of the craziness that is his life in LA, so he shows up on his friend Taylor’s doorstep in Sutter Lake. No better place to hide out than a small town. When he steps foot in The Tea Kettle, he runs into Tessa. There’s something about this gorgeous eyed beauty, and he doesn’t want to stay away from her.
“Don’t dim your light for anyone. Never again.”
Tessa, is not who she says she is. She’s running from someone in her past and watches her back at every turn. She’s paranoid, cautious, and can’t afford to be found. When Liam keeps showing up in her life, she finds it hard to resist him. The closer she gets to him, the more she begins to trust again and starts to believe that things will be okay, that she can start over, possibly with him. When the issue in Liam’s life begins to surface, it starts to complicate things in their relationship, but Tessa realizes that she’s tired of running and that everything with Liam is worth it.
“Liam Fairchild was a potent mixture of hard lines and smooth edges. And I knew I was sunk.”
Recommended order: Further to Fall then the Sutter Lake series.

Beautifully Broken Life is the much anticipated second book in the Sutter lake series. I have been lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book.
Romantic suspense has always been a favourite of mine, I love to be kept guessing throughout the book. Catherine Cowles has managed to master the art of suspense and has us gripped to every word of her stories.
I just knew right from the start that Liam was going to steal my soul, and boy did he! He is a famous rock star, but behind the fame, he is a quiet protector. He loves hard and has a heart of gold.
Tessa’s story one I connect to personally. It is raw and real and it is happening every day. The subject is extremely sensitive and Cowles has written it with compassion and heart; while also keeping it real and as dark as the truth. She really has done her research well and you really can feel the emotions coming off the pages.
All of Tessa’s pain, her fears and her tears, all become your own as you take the journey with her. Together these two find their inner strengths and build each other up.
This book has taken a piece of my broken soul and made it a little bit better. I thank the author for that.
FIVE beautifully perfect stars, for a beautifully perfect book.

I devoured the first book in this series and this one was no different. I was hooked from the very beginning once again. Tessa has been through so much and is haunted by her past but Liam is so gentle with her and he couldn’t be any more sweet. I love that Liam works so hard at being her friend first and is patient in gaining her trust, and I Loved how Tessa fought to take control of her life again and fight to have her happy ending with Liam. They are the perfect match for each other and I fell in love with their story from page one! Another story that had me laughing, near tears, and on the edge of my seat! Another fantastic addition in the Sutter Lake series! Can’t wait to devour the next one!!!

I never wanted to say goodbye to these two
Catherine crushes Liam and Tessa’s story—I didn’t want it to end and I’ll miss reading about them going forward.
One of my favorite things is when an author covers every aspect about the way experiences impact us in their entirety and Catherine doesn’t disappoint in Tessa’s story and the development of a relationship. It’s realistic and believable and honestly does so much justice to what someone who loved it real life would also go through. I think that’s why I have a hard time putting her books down—the balance she puts into the storyline and the core of each character feels like it does real life justice.
Once again the perfect amount of suspense and swoons sweetness.

I’m really liking this series and this leads with two characters from book one. We also learn some of the secrets from book one as well. This again has the romantic suspense and I was always waiting for it, even if you think or know something is going to happen.
Again, I enjoyed Cowles writing of the characters, setting, dealing with traumas, working back in old characters into side ones and also setting up book three. Loved the leads chemistry and how they worked with it all and of course ended with a HEA.
