I am shook. I did not see that plot twist coming. Fragile Sanctuary had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through, I was second guessing every single side character we met, trying to figure out who the big reveal would be at the end and I was shocked. I adore Catherine Cowles’ writing to my very core, she has this ability to completely hook me, and it was no different with this story. Rhodes and Anson were swoon worthy. The tension between them and the chemistry was electric. This had by far one of the best f*ck it moments that I will never forget. The spicy was spicy, probably her spiciest one yet!

Both the main characters have tragic pasts, which absolutely broke my heart. Anson is our grumpy ex-FBI profiler and Rhodes is our sunshine gardener. The way these two are together and how easy their relationship was melted my heart. Seeing how they helped each other through their respective traumas was so beautiful to watch! It should come as no surprise that I’m rating this book 5⭐️
