Romance
Description
She came in search of the family she’d always wanted—and found the kind of love she’d never dared to imagine.
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 his 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 the secrets of 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 of them could have imagined. Katie stands to lose the first family she’s ever had, and a scandal could doom Cooper’s campaign for sheriff’s office. Suddenly they find themselves on the edge of another precipice—and they’re forced to make a decision that could change their lives forever. AMAZON LINK

What an emotional story this turned out to be. Set in such a great small town with everyone pretty much up in your business. They have your back but they can also be brutal in their gossip if they did you did wrong. Cooper and Katie get an up close and personal experience with that.
I just wanted to shake Gavin, Cooper's brother. He and Katie have almost nothing in common expect maybe the grief of losing someone close. I also felt like his family because they loved him were babying him. Almost making it hard for Katie to end things with him because hey, they felt he "deserved" her.
Katie was so afraid of being rejected and abandoned again so it's like she was frozen in space at times. She came to adore the Robinson family. Avery Robinson was not only her boss but a long time friend. She's the one that set Katie up with Gavin to begin with. But now she didn't know how to get out of things without damaging Gavin more. Although to me they might have kissed from time to time but they were more like brother and sister in their affections.
Someone is out to ruin Cooper's reputation and strange thing just keep happening. There are several surprises about that. But the truths do come out. So does the attraction between Cooper and Katie, in the worst possible way of course.
The story does a hard fought for happy ending which I liked.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
