Fragile Sanctuary by Catherine Cowles
Thank you, Catherine Cowles, for gifting me an Advanced Reader Copy of Fragile Sanctuary for an honest review. Fragile Sanctuary is now available for purchase on Amazon AU and US!
“𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖’𝕤 𝕟𝕠 𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕘𝕚𝕗𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕟 𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕔𝕖”.
Thoughts: “Fragile Sanctuary” is book #1 of the Sparrow Falls series. This is the first book I have read by Catherine, and I absolutely loved it. The prologue was emotional, and from there, I knew I was going to love this book. I loved the FMC and MMC; their characters were written so well. Anson is amazing and has the qualities of a perfect book boyfriend. If you enjoy small-town suspense, age gap romance, dual POV, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine dynamics, and brother’s best friend tropes, you will adore this book.
Synopsis: The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall. And as so-called accidents start plaguing every part of my life, it’s Anson who steps in to keep me safe. As he does, I can’t help but feel a flicker of heat. And it only takes a single moment for that spark to ignite into flames, engulfing us both. But Anson’s a man with secrets, and they have a price. When they’re revealed, neither of us will make it out unscathed…
