About this listen
Trust doesn’t come easily when you’ve been running for as long as I have, which is why moving in with a man I barely know is such a bad idea. Shepard Colson is all golden-boy charm and devastating good looks. But I know what it’s like to be taken in by easy smiles and the promise of forever—I have the scars to prove it.
Only the handsome contractor won’t stop coming by the bakery and prying little truths from my lips—those amber eyes of his seeing far too much. And when all the secrets come crashing down, he’s determined to keep me safe, even if it means moving into my rundown cabin to do it.
Now, Shep isn’t just rebuilding the walls of my home; he’s working his way into my heart. Suddenly, he’s everywhere: shirtless in my garden or in a towel coming out of my bathroom. And my resolve is no match.
Only it’s more than his golden looks. It’s him. The way he watches for my wounds but tells me I’m stronger than anyone he’s ever known. And I can’t help but fall.
But I should’ve known better than to think I could be happy—not when a ghost from my past still has me in his sights. And when he finds me, he’ll do anything to tear my life apart, even if it means ending it for good…

Fantastic writing that is quick to draw you into the story with great main and supporting characters. The narrators really help to paint the story for you. Highly recommend.
Another great book from Catherine

The way this author writes is an experience to say the least.
I love the character building and the way the suspense is written into the book. You could never guess where the book is going until it got there!
Can’t wait for Sutton and Cole’s book!
The narration was amazing! Teddy and Erin never disappoint!

I wholeheartedly believe that Cowles’ Sparrow Falls series is her best series yet! It’s so rare that after giving the first in a series 5⭐️ that I continue to give the next books 5⭐️ too but I couldn’t give delicate escape any less if I wanted to (which I don’t). I really loved this as much, if not more so that book 1.
She writes small town suspense better than any I’ve read before and keeps you guessing the whole way through. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out… U-Turn, flip, uno reverse it’s something else. It’s always such a great addition to the romance plot. The tension throughout had me devouring this book in less than 24 hours.
I adored both Thea and Shep and how good they were for each other. There’s definitely a theme emerging to this series of mutual healing ❤️🩹 of the FMC and the MMC. These two were just perfect for each other, Shep with his hero/ saviour complex and how Thea helped him to learn to let the uncontrollable go and prioritise himself more. And Thea who’s guarded, defensive and lonely after dealing with one hell of a trauma and Shep getting her to trust again and open herself up to more after she’s restarted her life. Also Thea is a lover of spicy books as an escape mechanism. Who can’t relate to that?! 😏
One of my fave things about this book and series is the blended found/chosen family of the Colson’s. It’s truly perfect, they are all such beautifully written characters with such believable interactions and connections with one another. Lolli in particular is the grandma we all need in our lives and I am begging for a Lolli novella at some point. The woman is hilarious and I can’t get enough of her antics.
One of my top reads of the year right here!
I’m loving this series

Thea is on the run from her influential, and emotionally abusive ex boyfriend, hiding out in Sparrow Falls. She keeps herself to herself until a plumbing disaster at her house puts her into contact with contractor Shep Colson, her friend’s hot brother. Shep is determined to break through Thea’s barriers and fix not only her house, but her heart too …
This book is perfection and will live rent free in my heart forever. Catherine writes the best, most heartfelt characters and I fell hard for Shep and Thea. (Have you seen Shep on the cover - hello hot, tight t-shirt wearing contractor!)😍 They both have their own personal struggles, but are unfailingly brave, kind and compassionate. I loved watching the positive effect their relationship had on their characters. Eternal caretaker Shep brought colour into Thea’s life and gave her the support to start to take hold of her happiness and live her life again. He was incredibly patient and let Thea set the pace throughout. Thea ‘saw’ Shep like no other and showed him that he didn’t need to be perfect to be loved. There were so many beautiful and emotional moments with these two and I was rooting for them to get their hard won HEA. And the spice! Oh my, the spice!
The top rule when reading Catherine’s books is “suspect everyone, trust no-one” and once again, I was left gobsmacked at the reveal. One of these days I’ll crack it! The plot was twisty, exciting and literally left me gasping as the drama unfolded!
I loved seeing more of the fabulous Colson crew and I can’t wait for their stories. Outrageous Grandma Lolli stole every scene she was in and I was dying to know what inappropriate antics she would be up to next!
Delicate Escape is an emotional, achingly romantic and exciting thrill of a read that kept me swooning, guessing and gasping until the last page. I can’t recommend this series enough!
Audio: I read the ebook first, then went straight to the audio to relive the magic. Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon perfectly embody Shep and Thea and dial up all of the romance, tension and angst. And if I thought I was in love with Shep before, hearing his flirty banter narrated made me fall even harder! I thoroughly recommend this audio.
Perfection!
