Delicate Escape is book 𝟐 in the 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 series following Shepherd & Thea, an unlikely pair at first glance, but fit together effortlessly.

Thea is the elusive new girl in town that keeps to herself at the risk of her past catching up to her. Shep is the golden boy with a successful construction business & is always willing to help those in need. When Thea has a water leak in her home, Shep offers to fix the problem and just might be the one to allow her to open up & heal in the process.

“𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈. 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆. 𝑰 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒙 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒅.”

That quote perfectly encapsulates the pure soul that Shep is. He is so gentle and patient with Thea, understanding that she has past traumas, yet refuses to let her go through the dark alone. He is truly an acts of service King😍

Thea is guarded, for good reason. In book one we see her character as a bit standoffish, but we learn about her past from the Prologue in this book and I was hooked right away. Thea is such a strong and independent woman, but seeing her slowly let her guard down with Shep was such a beautiful sight to see. Their slow to start of a friendship flourishing into something more was easy and made so much sense. I adored their relationship & the chemistry was sizzlin’ good!

I said it last time and I’ll say it again, Catherine’s romantic suspense plot lines are 𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗥. She keeps you guessing and still surprises you in the end. You’re going to 𝐄𝐀𝐓 her books uppp!!
