He was the last person she expected to fall for…
Shattered Sea, a sexy, suspenseful, small town romance from USA Today bestselling author Catherine Cowles, is out now!
I’ve known every kind of pain. Of the heart. Of the body. Of the soul. All I want now is the freedom that comes from making my art. The last thing I expected was Hollywood royalty to waltz into my gallery in a small town in the middle of nowhere and see me. A man like Boden Cavanaugh shouldn’t understand me. Shouldn’t be able to soothe my most ragged edges. Even worse, he makes me want the one thing I can’t have. Him. All it takes is one spark, and friendship catches flame. But as our attraction burns bright, there are forces desperate to send us back into the darkness. And they’ve already killed before…
4 Heart Review by Ashley
Catherine Cowles is back with another thoroughly satisfying small town romance. I was invested in Shattered Sea from the heartbreaking opening, through all the danger and bond that grew between two unlikely souls. I couldn't help but root for Laiken. She was so talented and sad. Life hadn't been kind to her since the night everything changed but she did her best to not let it get her down. She hid her pain except in her art. Most didn't see it, until the day Hollywood heartthrob Boden walked by her studio. I loved seeing this man who 'had it all' be brought to his knees by Laiken and her gentleness. There was so much more to him than an actor with a charmed life. I loved his patience and willingness to just sit in the silence. But I think my favorite thing about Boden (besides his dog's name) was the way he tried to get Laiken to see herself through his eyes. And when the coincidences pointed to something sinister happening, it was all he could do to try and keep her safe. I thought I had figured out who was behind the deadly spree surrounding Wolf Gap, but was I wrong. That was a twist I didn't see coming at all. Whew! I felt breathless after finishing Laiken and Boden's opposites attract, slow burn romance. It was emotional and real, gritty and heartfelt and I didn't want it to end.
Keep reading for a look inside Shattered Sea! The way Boden’s muscles tightened told me the little he’d shared was only the tip of the iceberg. That tension called to me, and I reached out, kneading the flesh along his shoulders. His head fell to my own shoulder, and he sighed. “I’ll only let you do that forever.” I chuckled. “I do have the magic touch.” “You could be making millions with those hands.” “I only use them on very special recipients. They aren’t for sale.” Boden straightened, but as he did, he came closer. Our faces were close. Lips just a breath away. The urge to lean forward, to know what he felt like, tasted like, was strong. Boden’s hand skated up my arm to my neck to tangle in my hair. Fall in love today!
