hopeful mysterious sad tense fast-paced

“I could give her a beautiful apartment that would always be a safe harbor for her.”

Seriously, suspect everyone and trust no one when reading a Cather Cowles’ book. I am 0.5/24 in guessing the suspect. (I’m giving myself half credit for almost guessing the suspect in Beneath the Wreckage). We have the story of Sutton and Cope. Sutton owns the bakery in Sparrow Falls, the Mix Up. She is a single mom that is in hiding. Her ex is mixed up with drugs and the bratva. Cope is one of the many Colson siblings. He plays hockey and is back in Sparrow Falls trying to fix his image after news reports posted article of him getting into a fight with a teammate. Sutton’s son, Luca (who is just the cutest seven year old), is signed up for hockey camp. That’s where the two meet and begin their love story. Broken Harbor has everything you love about books by Catherine Cowles. There is romance, mystery, some suspense, found family, and of course a grandmother who will always bring levity into any situation (Grandma Lolli is a hoot!).

Not the best book by her sadly but I will still finish this series

I enjoyed this one! I feel that while some aspects were predictable, it was in a foreshadowing way and not in a “this book follows the exact same formula as every romance” way that a lot of recent year’s releases of kindle romances feel. The pacing was nice and steady, not rushed or weird. The characters were likable. I also loved this one because the child of the FMC felt more realistic than some children written in stories feel, just because of some of the emotions, questions asked, energy lol.
