ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF ROMANTIC SUSPENSE 👑
Catherine Cowles's newest book in the Sparrow Falls series is out today, and you'll want to go download it immediately. That last 10-15% had me on the edge of my seat right until the very end. I truly thought I knew who the stalker would be, but I was wrong yet again. Catherine always throws a twist in there that you just don't see coming.
But it's not just the suspense aspect I love about this book. It's the way Catherine writes her characters to be strong yet "broken." She gets down to the nitty gritty of a person, and that just makes the romance aspect so much more real (and hopeful). We have two MCs who have had traumatic pasts, and yet they both grow throughout the book. And the romance doesn't feel rushed. Which is so important when you have characters dealing with such heavy things.
While my past is not anything like Thea's, I found myself really connecting with her in how she falls in love with Shep. All the ways she (and Shep) describe how they feel because of the love they share? That's how I felt falling in love with my husband. It just got me all in my feels.
Other things to expect from Delicate Escape:
🪴 Roommates to Lovers
🪴 Golden Retriever x Black Cat
🪴 He Falls First
🪴 Hidden Identity
🪴 Found Family
🪴 Hilarious Grandma
