4.05 AVERAGE


This series is like settling in with a warm chai tea latte that is perfectly sweet but has a little bit of bite and spice. I really enjoy the character development in this series and fell even more in love with Jensen, Kennedy and Cain.

The author keeps making this series better and better, all these books suck you in and bring you to this circle of friends and family and makes the reader feel like they are part of their tribe. Cain has been there for his friends Walker and Tuck through thick and thin just a s they were always there for him, but he is ready to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax plus he has someone in his company that is selling their secrets. Cain moves to Sutter Lake so he can spend time with his best friends and so he can figure things out with his company. This is where he meets Kennedy, he has an instant attraction to her, but he can see that she is hiding something in the same way he hides his demons. Kennedy has had a rough few years, she helped catch her father for running a Ponzi scheme and every since then her family hates her, people who were effected by the scheme hate her, and she has been spending every day since then trying to make up for what she thinks she should atone for even if none of it was her fault. She hides away trying to be grateful for the small things in life, she volunteers, she is the most kindhearted person and Cain recognizes this and has the incredible urge to always protect her. This was a journey of loving, understanding, forgiveness, and letting others into your life. I loved these two together and enjoyed their bond they had, and I loved we got to see the other characters we have all come to love and know. Beautifully Broken Control took me on an emotional rollercoaster and just like Kennedy I fell hard for Cain, demons and all.

We meet Kennedy and Cain through Jensen in previous book sand Cain is good friends with Tuck and Walker.

Kennedy is doing everything she can to make up for guilt from the past. Cain is doing everything he can to control the future and those he cares about from getting hurt like others in his past.

My favorite part was the way Cain takes care of Kennedy after she gets hurt. He goes over the top with his protective nature and Kennedy pushes away every show of his wealth.

Another beautiful and suspense-filled romance in the Sutter Lake series.

I loved Beautifully Broken Control and the struggles both Kennedy and Cain had to overcome. Both had pasts that kept them from opening up. And it isn’t until craziness stirs up their lives again that they open up with each other.

The hurt Kennedy and Cain harbor from their pasts is raw and emotional. Catherine wrote their story with such grace. And Chuck was so stinking cute! Also loved all the Murder, She Wrote references

Another amazing 5 star read from Catherine Cowels. Wished I had read this book sooner so I could have fallen in love with Kennedy and Cain (can't forget about Chuck!) I cannot put into words how much I loved this book.
This book contains a heart-wrenching story which has you hooked from start to finish.
I will always love Catherine's story because she has the incredible talent to capture the reader from the very first sentence.

This has been my favorite one of this series so far!

Mmmh didn‘t expect the mom to be the bad guy. Has the guy jay in mind. The one from the hope house.
