Add this romantic suspense to your tbr! 📖🫶🏼

This is the first book in Catherine Cowle’s new series called Sparrow Falls. Catherine writes romantic suspenses and they’re so good!! I’m always on the edge of my seat and can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen. This one was no exception!

It was such a good start to the series! I loved the romance and the dynamic between Anson and Rhodes. You see Anson in Ashes of You and I was so curious for his story. As he opens up you see more of who he is and I loved that 🥺 I also loved Rhodes and how much she loved plants and gardening.

I am so excited for the rest of the series!!!!
