Sparrow Falls #3

To a Reaper… a Warrior. 

We’re back in Sparrow Falls and Cope (the hockey player brother) is back home. He usually avoids coming home because he secretly carries a heavy burden related to the loss of one of  their brothers and their dad. He was basically sent home by the team as he seems to be having a streak of bad luck – fights with team members on the ice, accusations of drug use, you name it. So, he volunteers to coach little kids at the youth hockey camp in Sparrow Falls. That’s where he meets his biggest and littlest fan, Luca, and his mom, Sutton, of the turquoise eyes.

Sutton is a single mom struggling to keep her bakery going and raising her seven year-old hockey loving kid. She’s in Sparrow Falls to give him the life her ex-husband stole from them, a life where Luca can be happy and safe. Coach Reaper was not in her plans but soon she’s being swept off her feet by the man whose heart is way to big to see anyone suffering. They fall and they fall hard. It takes a warrior to take down a reaper….

OMG, I devoured this one! I LOVE their story. You get your heart broken right in the prologue and you want to be Sutton’s friend and help her and little Luca. Cole is high level, top tier book boyfriend and you yearn for them to become a family.

As in all Catherine’s books, “murdery” things happen and you’ll have to pick your jaw from the floor with the twist in this one! I was taken completely off guard!

To use a metaphor from a different sport, this audiobook is a home run. Narrated by Erin Mallon, whose performance gives you the vulnerable, oh-so-tired of this crap thrown at her mama bear who is definitely a “warrior” and Connor Crais, who is cornering the market of alpha mellow heroes with his magnificent performance of the protective yet broken Cope. Audio gold!

I loved it more than bees love honey!

Thanks, @mustloveaudio for the ALC.
