She's always been his safe place to land. Jensen has shared a special bond with Tuck for as long as she can remember, their friendship a language that never needed words. But as life threw her one curveball after another, that secret language turned to stony silence. He's always been her protector. Tuck has looked out for Jensen since the day she was born. As his best friend's little sister, he's tried to keep her firmly in the family category. But she's always been more. All it takes is one moment of weakness to send Tuck's fiercely guarded walls crumbling to the ground. As a new fire burns between them, someone watches. Someone who doesn't like the new life Jensen's building for herself. And they'll stop at nothing to keep her in the dark.… (mere)

This series has become an all time favorite of mine and I honestly didn’t think anyone could top Walker, then Liam came alone, then Tuck is here, and he is my favorite. Tuck is a beautiful soul, that is funny, charismatic, loyal, loving, and is afraid he will become his father. Tuck has made the Cole family his surrogate because of issues with his own family so he grew up being best friends with Walker and therefore being attached at the hip to Walker’s sister Jensen. He is very protective of her, he is her best friend, they can read each other so much more than anyone else can, and they have a love that is familial until now. Jensen has been through a lot in her lifetime and recently she is finding it hard to move on and live, Tuck notices how her sparkle has went out and he doesn’t like it at all so he sets out to help her find her fire again. The more time they spend together their relationship starts to change into more of a romantic capacity and they start to fall in love but Tuck is still doubtful he can be what Jensen and Noah needs. I loved everything about this book, Tuck being a wonderful and loyal man to Jensen being a tough and humble single parent, and the suspense especially towards the end. Three hand squeezes and three forehead kisses (swoon) ( )

First Impressions
Beautifully Broken Spirit is the third book in the "Sutter Lake" series and its a book where we see the romance finally happen between these two which has been slowly building in the previous books and I just knew that their story would be such a journey. Catherine Cowles really worked their story so well in this one. I just had a blast with these two and seeing their romance really shine so well. And you all know how much I adore a forbidden love tale and in this one we really see how well they work together and work through their issues and find a love in a way neither expected but both were willing to fight for.

First Line
The wind lifted my hair off my neck, swirling it around my face.

What I Loved
This is a story where we see two people really struggling in different ways. For the heroine, she is dealing with a massive amount of guilt of being used and betrayed and that her loved ones were hurt because of her decisions with men. She starts to lose trust in herself and her own decisions and how its starting to affect her in such a negative way. Than we have the hero who is a bit of a playboy, but really, he loves sex and women and isn't ashamed about it but part of it comes from how his father has treated his mother and his own lack of self worth. But as these two come together, they both help each other in their issues. There was a great explosion with the brother. But man was he clueless, the rest of the family saw them being together except for him so when the truth happens, its brilliant. I just love the explosions with this trope, its always so entertaining to read for sure. And I really loved seeing the balance of the heroine being a mother, the way that its written, is done in such a way that is so endearing.

What I Struggled With
I had a hard time with these two in the beginning, I am not sure what was happening, but I wasn't quite on board with them until later in the story to be honest.

Overall View
Beautifully Broken Spirit is a endearing poignant romance of healing and building your self worth in such a relative way!

Steam/Spice Explanations

Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments. ( )

I have a love hate relationship with brother's best friend tropes. Especially, if the relationship started out when the characters were young and grew up like siblings. However, this book was on the better side of things. It never felt dirty. I'm glad, because I really liked these characters. Jensen had a hard time of it and I was ready for her to heal. I loved watching her with the horses and how it was healing for both the hoses and her. I also liked Tuck as a character. Surprisingly, the fact that these characters had grown up together as fist a bro/sis, friend, and eventually a lover helped enhance their story.

I'm glad that I gave this story a chance. I do, however, wish certain things had been fleshed out. Namely, Rick's relationship with his father. It didn't seem to fit the story or enhance it in anyway. The resolution at the end just felt like filler and that bothered me. ( )

Best friends sister troupe.
Dual POV.
Best to read series in order as although each couple have a book the events in each book lead on to the next so to avoid plot spoilers....

Single mum heroine.
Hero manwhore.
' “Things are great. How are things in manwhore alley?”
“Well, Carrie Kilpatrick learned how to do this thing with her tongue—”'
He has daddy issues which stops him having a relationship.
I didn't really understand him. He is a loyal and good friend to Walker but doesn't think he can be the same to a family of his own...
Pushing away from Hero.

That said once he and the heroine see each other differently, neither look at anyone else.

No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
No cheating.
HEA.


Spoilers below.....

It's well written but I found it predictable.
You can just foresee that around 75% he will cold feet, break things off and she will get into trouble and need him.
It's just been done sooo many times before. ( )
