Beautifully Broken Redemption

Sutter Lake, Book 5

By: Catherine Cowles

Narrated by: Maxine Mitchell, Aaron Shedlock

She's hiding secrets.

For Anna, keeping her deepest scars hidden from the world has always been a necessity - from the bruises of her childhood to the mistake that nearly cost her everything. To keep herself safe, she must keep everyone around her at a distance - especially the man who has tempted her since the moment they met.

His demons are taunting him.

Mason has done his best to bury the past by achieving more than he ever thought possible. But even with all of his success, his life feels empty.

When tragedy strikes, Anna is left fighting to protect the only family she has left. And Mason will do anything to keep her and her loved ones safe-even if that means the ring of wedding bells.

But as a new spark ignites between them, someone is watching.

And they'll do whatever it takes to snuff out that light for good.

Real Life Emotions

I have loved every book in this series. The writing is so good you feel every emotion right along with the characters as if you are there. Mason and Anna have deep wounds and are scared to let anyone in. What an emotional and suspenseful journey. Fabulous narration.

Perfectly Titled, Beautiful story

I loved loved loved this story. Catherine Cowles really does know how to write a beautifully (perfect series title) love story. Anna had a really hard adolescence with her physically abusive father and a mother who turned a blind eye only to be deceived and betrayed by the one person she thought she could count on, her teenage boyfriend. After spending time behind bars for a crime she didn't commit, she begins building a new life. She's let her past go with the exception of her sister, who finally comes around and believes begins to believe that Anna was truly innocent all those years ago. Just when it seems like they'll be able to get back to the sisters they once were, Chelsea, Annas sister, is found dead and thus a custody battle for Chelseas two children, Justin and Lyla, begins. Anna cannot allow her abusive parents to raise her niece and nephew. Enter Mason. He's been crushing on Anna for 2 years (as has she on him) but since she's been playing defense with him the entire time he hasn't really made a move. He's there when Anna gets the news of her sisters death and proves over and over that he's gong to be there for her through it all. With her criminal record and her parents ability to keep their secrets hidden all those years it's not looking good for Anna's case. Mason offers to marry Anna, giving her the stability she'll need to prove she can take care of the children. I loved the way they fell in love with each other and the children truly becoming a family unit.

This book will give you All.The.Feels. You'll love Anna and Mason and the kiddos. You'll cry with this story, laugh and even get extremely angry - I wanted to throat punch Mason's sister, Juliette, on more than one occasion. But overall, I wouldn't change a thing about this book. Catherine Cowles did it again... can't wait to read whatever she comes out with next!

Loved this concluding book to the series!

Really enjoyed the whole series and I think this one might be my favorite!

Addictive.

This series is perfect. Each book brings their unique story with a touch of charm, humor and a sense of adventure. I love the author’s style of storytelling and the characters are so much fun. The story is very interesting and very engaging to read and I love how it feels to read and enjoy the book.

Great Series!

First time reading/listening to any book by Catherine Cowles! Not at all disappointed! Love the narrators too! So many of the audible books would be great if only the authors picked good narrators! I’ve had to stop listening to some before I could even get very for in the story.
