Catherine Cowles is a master of romantic suspense and Beautifully Broken Spirit is yet another example of why this author is one of my automatic one-click authors. The story grabs you and pulls you into the lives of Jensen and Tuck in a love story that is heartwarming, steamy and so honestly written. There were moments I held my breath and didn’t want the story to end while at the same time I raced to the finish because I couldn’t put the book down. Brilliantly woven into their story is the perfect amount of suspense that holds you captivated until the very end. I wish there were more than five stars because I want to give so many more.
Catherine Cowles has an amazing ability with her writing style to make you feel like you are visiting family and friends instead of reading a book and Beautifully Broken Spirit made me feel like I was coming home. Tucker and Jensen’s story was so much more than a best friend/little sister, friends to lovers romance. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat and the chemistry between these two was so sizzling I could not get enough! I absolutely recommend Beautifully Broken Spirit and even though it can be read as a standalone, the other two books in the Sutter Lake series are definitely worth checking out.
