Publisher's summary

A woman trying to rebuild her life.

Kennedy is doing all she can to escape, to prove that she's not the monster her father was. A simple life of peace and service is all she needs.

A man haunted by a past he can't forget.

Cain has buried his demons under layers of control and success. The only thing he needs is his company and his solitude. Certainly not a woman with captivating green eyes filled with ghosts so similar to his own.

He's a reminder of the life she's left behind. And she's a threat to his tightly guarded control. As sparks fly between them, they discover that what they might need most is each other.

But with pasts like theirs...you never know when darkness might descend.

Fantastic

Great love story with compelling main characters, family and friends. Cain and Kennedy both lived with guilt for things that were beyond their control. No cheating or angst and mild drama. Great narrators.

4/5

I really enjoyed Kennedy and Cain’s story! There was some repetition with this one as well but also had its own unique storyline. Cain is such a swoon worthy hero!

Narration: Maxine and Aaron just go so good together. I really enjoy them reading to me!

Loved!!!

I loved this one! Again I couldn’t guess the twist! I think one hunch was right but it was nothing major. Catherine is just so good at keeping me hooked and on my toes!

This age gap worked seamlessly. Like I knew they had one, but Kennedy and Cain just fit so perfectly for each other. They both have things in their pasts they are dealing with and I liked how that all played out.

A great an edition to the series that I couldn’t put down!

Loved Kennedy and Cain!

Beautifully Broken Control is a perfect addition to the Sutter Lake series.
If you have read the previous books in the series then you have already met
Kennedy and it is obvious that she is harboring secrets. It is also obvious that this is because of fear, but she is a caring friend to Jensen and a hard worker and volunteer.
Cain is college buddies with Walker and Tucker and he is checking out Sutter Lake because he desperately needs a change of pace from his company as he tries to figure out who is giving away his secrets. It is also obvious he carries pain from his past and his protective nature is a result of that and that protective nature is magnified when Kennedy is in danger.
Kennedy and Cain definitely have chemistry but they also have secrets and pain from their pasts. It was a joy to watch them work through it all with the other by their side and finally find their own happiness and happily ever after.
I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this story and the narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this book!
