Hidden Waters by Catherine Cowles | Audiobook Review

06/21/2022

Hidden Waters (Tattered and Torn Book 3) by Catherine Cowles

Narrated by Sebastian York and Ava Erickson

Romantic Suspense. Can stand alone but I recommend reading the first two first.

Catherine Cowles is one of the few authors I read without even looking at the blurb. Every single book is filled with suspense, romance, family, friendship, and lots of excitement. Hidden Waters is the third book in her Tattered and Torn Series. Though the romance stands alone, I think it’s pretty important to read the first two in the series to really get the background on this couple. Even I, who read the first two, wished there was a little more of a recap at the beginning to remind me of all the players.

That being said, this was still another phenomenal audiobook from Catherine Cowles. We have met Addie in the first two books in the series. She was raised in a community that was very cult-like, and they don’t deal with outsiders. Women are there to cook, breed, keep house, and be a punching bag for their crazy husbands. Even taking a child to the doctor would get some of the women beaten.

As a result, Addie hasn’t experienced a regular life at all. Simple things, like having Chinese take-out are foreign to her. She fears men. And since she still lives in Wolf Gap where she runs into her father’s people, she is constantly living in fear that they will snatch her back. She has been living in Hayes’s empty home (from the first book) while she learns to navigate her new life away from the crazies.

Beckett is Hayes’ brother. He is coming back to his hometown after spending years traveling the world as a doctor, and he is harboring some major guilt over his sister being kidnapped when she was younger. He is building a house in Wolf Gap but needs a place to stay while it’s being built. Hayes has this big house, and only Addie is using it, so the two become roommates, despite Addie’s fear of men.

“I wanted to trust in that kindness. To believe that it was just who Beckett was. But I wasn’t programmed that way. Years of living under my father’s thumb had me second-guessing every person’s motives.”

This is a slow-burn romance that took a bit of a backseat to Addie’s growth and the suspense, but that was OK with me, I felt like it moved perfectly for this couple.

“Beauty in the strength that carried you through. Beauty in how you refused to be broken. Beauty that you never let yourself become cruel like him. Addie, there isn’t a thing about you that isn’t beautiful.”

Likes:

  • Kept me glued to my phone, listening every minute I could.
  • Visiting with the previous characters.
  • Addie’s growth.
  • Very emotional, but never too much.
  • Beckett’s doctor practice and his booth.
  • Catherine’s beautiful covers always deserve a mention.

Dislikes:

  • Beckett has been around the whole world and Addie has lived a completely sheltered life. I would have liked to see Addie get some more worldly experiences or even a few dates.
  • I wouldn’t have minded a few subtle reminders of the character’s back stories in the beginning. My memory isn’t what it used to be!

The Narration:

Sebastian York and Ava Erickson were the perfect duo for Beckett and Addie. As always, this duo only serves to enhance the story.

The Down & Dirty:

Once again, Catherine Cowles delivers a book filled with suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat, tons of emotion, romance, heat, family, and friends that you can’t wait to visit again. The Tattered and Torn series is a top favorite series for me, and Hidden Waters is the perfect addition to it. I can’t wait for the next two, Shattered Sea and Fractured Sky.

Rating: 4.5 Stars, 3.5 Heat, 5 Narration

- @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mi - @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mine for the last few years. In 2022, the entire Tattered and Torn series released, and I loved every single one of them. I listened to them all on audio, and they each deserve a place on my Best of 2022 list, especially Fractured Sky, which I gave a rare 5+++ stars to.

They also have the most beautiful covers!

The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series were on my Best of 2021 List, and Seatmate by @carabastone has continued the streak for my Best of 2022 list. The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation. This was a quick and fun listening experience, and though it’s nothing epic, it stood out to me in 22.

I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s rare to find books about older couples and I so appreciate when an author writes a sexy one. I had a couple of issues with it, and I really struggled with the heroine’s name, James. Every time I read her name (and the female MC for the next book is Billy) my brain had to catch up for a second that it was a girl.

Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on all 11 lists (since 2012), and for good reason!
Taking the Leap by Kristen Ashley is my favorite book she has written in a while. It very much focuses on Alex and Rix and it didn’t feel like I had to remember a ton of other characters. I felt their chemistry and how perfect they are for each other. 
I love how Kristen handled a disabled hero. This is one you don’t want to miss! Have you read it yet?
