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.

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.

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.

Liam 😭

I want, no, NEED a Liam in my life. Someone patient and gentle but rough when he needs to be or when I ask for it

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!

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.

Loved Tessa and Liam's story..

We got a little preview of both Tessa and Liam from book one in the Sutter Lake Series. This book began with an intense prologue of Tessa's life. This book definitely elevated the suspense and angst, with its very sensitive storyline. Both narrators did a great job with all its characters. Once again, the author keeps all of its characters very in the loop and slowly introduces you to the next couple in the this series.
