Publisher's summary

A woman who's lost everything.

Taylor is looking for peace and quiet away from the memories of all she's lost. A small mountain town where no one knows her seems like the perfect escape.

A man battling the ghosts of his past.

Walker loves his life just the way it is. His town, his family, his brothers in blue. Everything simple and easy - until a chance encounter changes it all.

When Taylor's solitude is interrupted by the rugged cop, they find that the very thing they were avoiding might be just what they both need. As their iron wills clash and passion flares...a killer lurks.

And you never know who might be caught in the crosshairs.

Spicy Suspense with Great Twists

5/5 ⭐
3/5 🌶️

This was my first time picking up Catherine Cowles and it certainly won't be the last. Beautifully Broken Pieces was absolutely riveting from beginning to end. I loved the characters, the story and the spice so, so much.

I listened to the audible book and absolutely loved Maxine Mitchell and Aaron Shedlock as narrators. I am always nervous when I grab a book with voice actors I haven't heard before, but both of them were fantastic and I'm already looking forward to hearing more from them.

I really enjoyed these two main characters. Both are broken with grief and in a little spin off the usual trope of optimistic girl convinces pessimistic guy, we get the opposite with BBP. Walker who despite losing his first love in a horrific manner, breaks down Taylor's walls and convinces her it's okay to love again, that not everyone leaves you by choice or in death. Their chemistry is fantastic and I really loved the spice; there wasn't a ton, but what there was hotttt.

The murderer reveal knocked me off my feet. My first guess ended up being a main character in a later book which I spoiled for myself without thinking by looking ahead. But not too much later the killer was revealed and I didn't see it coming at all. Catherine did an amazing job of laying ground work and false trails and I really can't wait for more from her. Next up is Liam and Tessa and I'm so excited for their story.

Absolutely Adored This!

Loved this book! I have nothing negative to say about it. The narrators did an amazing job. I think they were perfect for walker and Taylor. This story was so emotional and sweet but had suspense as well. It was the perfect combination. Highly recommend

terribly quivery narration but cute story

the story was fun, but the guy narrator was too husky/dramatic and the girl narrator was so quivery it was grating to the ears. sounded like she was about to sob or throw up when it was supposed to be an angry or sexy scene...very off-putting!

An excellent start to the 'Stutter Lake' series. The characters are interesting and varied; the mystery engaging & the couple full of chemistry. I did get tired of Taylor's self-absorbtion, that she couldn't seem to get a clue. I can't wait to see who is next.

The narrators did an terrific job bringing the story to life.
