This is the second book in the author’s Riverbend Romance series.
Doctor Avery Robinson has chosen to isolate herself
romantically (and to some extent, in all her relationships) - because she is terrified.
Her mother died young from a genetic disease, and Avery fears she will subject
her loved ones to the same trauma she experienced. When she meets Wes - a
contractor hiking the Appalachian Trail in memory of his best friend - she
begins to question everything. Is there any chance she can have the life she
always dreamed, if she can only let go of her fear?
I’m really enjoying the Riverbend series. The setting is
lovely, the relationships are rich, and the characters have depth. There is fun
dialogue and great backstory. Although part of a series, I believe you can read
this book as a standalone; however, you’re always better off to read in order
for a deeper understanding and enjoyment of each book.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas
Nelson Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
