Catherine Cowles strikes again with Chasing Shelter, and I was hooked from the very first whisper of secrets in Sparrow Falls. This one has it all: a broody, protective single dad who’s also the Sheriff, a quietly strong heroine who’s determined to find her way, and just enough suspense to keep your heart racing between kisses and chaos.
Trace and Ellie both carry deep wounds, but together they find something beautifully healing—and totally swoony. The tension is palpable (in more ways than one), and let’s just say, if you like your small-town romance with a side of danger and a splash of forbidden, you’ll devour this.
Omg!! Lolli is still an absolute firecracker🤩. I adore her spunk, her sass, and every scene she steals with her one-liners and wisdom. More Lolli in everything, please.🙏
Jason Clarke and Desiree Ketchum absolutely nail the narration—bringing just the right grit, heart, and heat to the story.
I need to talk about Leah… She surprised the heck out of me—in the best way (took a while though 😅. I wouldn’t be mad if Catherine gave her a novella and a little HEA for her & her new guy🤫.
Now counting down the days until we return to Sparrow Falls…

“Chief…”
My gaze flicked to Ellie’s face. “Yeah?”
“Why are you staring at me like I’m committing atrocities of war right now?”
I scrubbed a hand over my stubbled cheek. “To be fair, you are currently committing atrocities against my dishwasher.”
Ellie gaped at me. “I rinsed these thoroughly.”🫣🫣🫣😬

“He’s such a stick-in-the-mud. How about you and I hit up the cowboy bar instead? Save a horse, ride a cowboy?”
“Why would you ride a cowboy, Supergran? That seems silly. Or is it like a piggyback ride?” Keely asked innocently. Trace’s scowl morphed into a glare. “Thanks so much, Lolls.”
She just laughed. “Just like that, my girl.”
Keely looked up at her dad, beaming. “I wanna save a horse and ride a cowboy.”
“Dear God, take me now,” Trace muttered…😂🤠
