Beautifully Broken Control is the fourth book in the Sutter Lake series. I was taken with this story and what it made me feel. I was absolutely overjoyed with emotion and with every detail that made up this story.
Kennedy came to Sutter Lake to escape her past. She was put in an unthinkable situation which caused a lot of pain. Now, all she wants is a simple life of peace. She makes new friends and keeps to herself working as much as she can. She volunteers at a local shelter and teaches children ballet, whatever she can do to giveback, she does. But as much as she tries, she can’t help but be haunted with her past and the destroyed lives at the hands of her father.
Cain put my heart through a vice. His past was one that was filled with pain and guilt. He keeps those ghosts buried so deep that it’s not only hurting him but also keeps him from opening up to people. He’s a very wealthy, smart and successful entrepreneur. When he finds himself needing to escape and clear his head, he heads to his hometown of Sutter Lake. Once there he never expected the likes of Kennedy and what she would bring to his life.
Kennedy and Cain both know pain. Though both have different pasts, the similarities in what they’ve lost brings them closer together, which in turn makes both of them understand each other on a different level. I loved Kennedy’s spirit and how brave and resilient she was. I also loved Cain’s protective nature and how he’d do anything to keep Kennedy safe. If there were two people who deserved to find happiness it was Kennedy and Cain. It’s not easy to let let love in, but Kennedy and Cain try their hardest, and if there were any two people that deserved happiness it was these two.
Beautifully Broken Control hit me with all the feels. Catherine delivered a heartfelt, emotional, addicting, and well written small town romance. I absolutely love this group of friends and can’t get enough. I miss these characters already. This book and series should not be missed—definitely recommend.
*I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book*

Not my favorite of the series. The plot felt a little weak.

Goodness this was so good. Cain and Kennedy were a beautiful match - they both had their own bad pasts they had to reckon with and watching them work through things separately and together, well I was just rooting so hard for them. Cain was extremely protective from the start...and Kennedy was not always on board; I loved when she gave a little push back. It really added some additional tension to the slow burn build they had going on.

Catherine has became my second favourite author who gives me my fix in the form of small town roamnces with suspensful twist.
Once again, thanks to Catherine, I spent two very pleasant evenings in a small town in the USA.
Beautifully Broken Control, book 4 in the Sutter Lake series, is a story of two beautiful people who unjustly carry a crushing burden of guilt on their shoulders. At first glance, Cain and Kennedy are very different from each other. They come from two different worlds. They are guided by completely different principles in life. There is no way they could get along. But with every chapter, getting to know them better, you can see that they are made for each other! Cain and Kennedy think they have their emotions under control, but it's just a pretense that hides a devastating sense of guilt and pain.
Their story is really a great example of the power of love, family, and friendship to overcome difficult moments in life.
I love this kind of story that can inspire readers who are going through hard times or make them think and reflect on their own lives.
