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.

Summary
Riverbend Gap by Denise Hunter is a storyline I do not enjoy. However Denise did an excellent job of drawing me in and caring about the characters.
Katelyn wanted a family. She was abandoned by her mother, didn’t know her father and her brother recently passed away. She was dealing with abandonment and rejection issues.
Cooper was dealing with trying to prove he was not his father. He loved his family which included his brother and sister. He meets Katelyn and has an immediate attraction to her. Before he realizes she is his brother’s new girlfriend.
Dealing with this kind of betrayal would be so hard. I find this type of story hard to relate to and find a happy ending. It will be interesting to see how the next book in the series plays this out.
I would recommend the book. I enjoyed the family connections and look forward to the future books in the series.
