Riverbend Gap (Riverbend, #1) by Denise Hunter

 


When Katelyn Loveland’s car veered off a winding Appalachian Mountain road, she thought she was done for. That is until Cooper Robinson, local sheriff’s deputy, came to her rescue. And though Katie narrowly escaped her brush with death, she still fell. Hard.

She wasn’t the only one. But soon Cooper learns that the woman he’s more attracted to than any he’s ever met is his brother’s new girlfriend—and therefore unquestionably off limits. Yet, despite their best efforts, Cooper and Katie can’t seem to avoid running into each other. Or ignore the undeniable chemistry between them.

As they grow closer, Katie shares secrets from her past and the real reason she moved to their small North Carolina town. She also wins over Cooper’s welcoming and bighearted family. But they don’t know that her feelings for Cooper keep growing—all while she’s dating his brother. Soon the stakes of their emotional connection become higher than either could have imagined.

Katie stands to lose the first family she’s ever had, and a scandal could doom Cooper’s campaign for sheriff. Suddenly they find themselves on the edge of another precipice—and they’re forced to make a decision that could change their lives forever.

My Review


 

I was quickly page-turning this book! What a start, and the book never let me go.

Katelyn Loveland's life has not been easy, but she pulled herself up by her boot straps, and was there until the end for her brother, her only family left to her.

This fictional book is set on the Appalachian Trail, and the book and town revolves around this beautiful mountain trail. We are offered a family, that loves one another, but of course it also has it flaws.

We are kept on our toes with a run for political office, a bridge closing, a love triangle, family dynamics, and finding family. So much, and now I want more!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
