Delicate Escape: Sparrow Falls, Book 2 (Unabridged‪)‬

Incredible Story & Narration🎧Riveting & Heartfelt!

Catherine Cowles pens another winning novel set in her “Sparrow Falls”, a romantic suspense that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. This second book of the series is Shep and Thea’s story and wow, what a story it is, starting with her backstory and how she wound up in Sparrow Falls. My heart went out to her in such a big way, and to Shep as well, after hearing his backstory and the reasons for his insecurities, which are just as moving. Thea was on the run from something terrible and Sparrow Falls was the perfect spot to stay off the grid, though she fears that someone will eventually recognize her and reveal who she is and even worse, bring the person she is running from back to her. When she discovers a water leak in her old house, a house she did not allow anyone into because it was her safe zone and she had issues with trust. Thinking she could fix it herself, but she was in way over her head and her friend suggested she have Shepard look at it, but she was hesitant. Shep knew she was hiding something and sensed that she was fearful, so he handled her with care, in the most admirable way. There was an undeniable chemistry between these two, and it was great to watch them get to know each other and watch Thea let down the walls she built around her heart. And in Cowles fashion, the writing, plot and world building are phenomenal, as are the character growth and development. There is never a dull moment in the book and the story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, mystery, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and a steamy romance. I love how she works the mystery and suspense plot, keeps you thinking and then just when you think you figured it out, wham, you learn how off the mark you were and you can say you never saw that coming, well done, very well done! Catherine Cowles, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, humanizing them, and giving each a voice that was fitting. Erin Mallon nailed it as Thea, grasping every aspect of her personality, from her vulnerable side to her strength and determination, with Hamilton being just as amazing in his role as Shepard, swoon worthy, caring and protective. Both were equally fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling each one. These two made a great team, their voices and talent complemented each other and their performance elevated this already wonderful story to another level. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for another fabulous listen.
