"Catherine writes the best broody, damaged heroes! I freaking loved Cain, and he and Kennedy were a perfect match!"
—Susan Stoker, New York Times bestselling author

Beautifully Broken Control, an all new emotional small-town romance with the perfect blend of sexy and suspense from Catherine Cowles, is out now!

Beautifully Broken Control AMAZON

A woman trying to rebuild her life.

Kennedy is doing all she can to escape, to prove that she’s not the monster her father was. A simple life of peace and service is all she needs.

A man haunted by a past he can’t forget.

Cain has buried his demons under layers of control and success. The only thing he needs is his company and his solitude. Certainly not a woman with captivating green eyes filled with ghosts so similar to his own.

He’s a reminder of the life she’s left behind. And she’s a threat to his tightly guarded control. As sparks fly between them, they discover that what they might need most is each other.

But with pasts like theirs . . . you never know when darkness might descend.

My Review 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Due to a past tragedy that eats at his soul, and a company he's scraped and fought to build, Cain Hale is a fixer and a protector. When he meets Kennedy Charles, she ticks all his boxes without even trying. No, the skittish, generous, unassuming Kennedy, who chooses a life a step above impoverished, would rather Cain just leave her alone and not look too deeply into her past. But there's that undeniable pull between them, and when someone from Kennedy's past shows up, Cain may have to turn his demons loose. 

Ahhh, this book! I don’t have the words to express how special and amazing it is. Although a sophomore novelist, Cowles brings to life beautifully broken, complex and unforgettable characters, along with an intricate, captivating storyline, equal to books by authors with decades of experience, and it is magic. Pure magic! With poignant and compelling themes of grief, healing, love and gratitude, this story sweeps the reader off her feet and takes her on a deeply emotional journey. 

In one scene, Kennedy is thinking about having to tell her employer and friend, Jensen, about her past, afraid Jenson will look at her differently. And I’m here thinking, “Aw, sweetie, no she won’t. You don’t know Jensen like we do.” And that's the power and wizardry of Cowles' writing, making her characters so unique and vibrant that the readers know and understand them, often even better than the living, breathing people in our lives outside of books. There are so many moments like this in this book, that make me think, and have a way of burrowing deep in my heart, and this writer's innate beauty and goodness shine through in every word. 

If you’re looking for a fairly new writer who has incredible talent and a bright, promising career that you can follow for years to come, look no further. Easily her best work yet, I’m excited to see what the future brings and what fabulous stories have yet to be told by this gifted wordsmith. These characters are truly unforgettable, and their story deserves far more than five stars. This one goes on my list of top reads for the year and I highly recommend you start reading it today. Your life won’t be the same once Kennedy and Cain own a piece of your heart.

Where's My Slingshot When I Need It?

Alternate title: The Itty Bitty Reader Takes On the Marketplace Monopoly Giant If you do any advance copy reading of books or are in any book groups or authors’ groups on Facebook, you’ve probably seen authors and readers alike discussing their reviews disappearing from Amazon recently. Not long ago, all my reviews were deleted by Amazon, and I'll share some suggestions on what to do, should you find yourself in this situation, and some tips on how to hopefully avoid it happening to you in the future. Sadly, Amazon’s review system, especially for books, isn’t perfect and there are certainly abuses to it, but reviews really are critical to both authors and readers.  For authors, the more reviews their book has, the more notice it gets, which translates to more sales.  For readers, reviews hopefully give us accurate information so we can decide if a book is worth our time and money or if we should just move along to the next one. I’ve been reading advance copies and reviewi
