After meeting Liam and Tessa in Beautifully Broken Pieces I knew I needed their story ASAP so I immediately started Beautifully Broken Life and it did not disappoint. I loved the development, the emotion and intensity, and the wonderful world the author has created. I'm already in love with this series!
Beautifully Broken Life (Sutter Lake #2) by Catherine Cowles
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.
5 out of 5 stars
I loved Beautifully Broken Life! I loved
learning about Tessa and Liam and watching them grow throughout the
story. The development was wonderful and I loved the slow burn happening
between them. I felt for them, was rooting for them, and hung on every word
as it all played out. It was such an incredible and powerful story filled with
emotion and intensity and I couldn't get enough.
I loved these characters. I hurt for Tessa as I learned
about her past and all she'd endured but I loved her perseverance and what she
did to keep herself safe. I loved Liam and his patience and how he was drawn to
her. He was such a caring, good guy and I liked how he was there for her and
wouldn’t give up in the middle of everything that was happening. I loved Tessa’s
growth over the course of the story and watching her come out of her shell,
open up, and trust. Liam had his own worries he was dealing with and I liked him working through
them and figuring out what was truly important in his life.
I liked seeing the Cole family again and how they were woven
into the story. I loved Tessa's relationship with Jensen and am excited for
Jensen's story. I liked the connection Tessa had to Walker’s mom and I also
enjoyed seeing Tuck and Walker form a bond with Liam and support him.
There's drama happening and I swear I read this the
entire time waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it did, I held my
breath. It flowed well with great development and I loved that it was dual POV. The attention to detail was exceptional. I
loved the tension, the heartache and pain, and most of all the evolution of
these characters.
Catherine Cowles can tell one heck of a story and I'm here
for it. I am officially in love with the Sutter Lake series! I felt this
underlying emotion in me the whole time I was reading and I loved it all. My
heart feels full!
