A Search for Belonging

Kate Loveland has spent much of her life in foster care and she’s come to Riverbend Gap in hopes she can answer a question —why did her mother choose alcohol over her children? The hero, Cooper Robinson, also grapples with the terrible impact alcohol abuse has on a family, but unlike Kate, Cooper and his brother were adopted by a good man when their mother remarried. When the story starts Kate is in a near death experience and Cooper comes to her rescue. There’s an attraction, but Kate discovers her new boyfriend is actually Cooper’s brother. Tensions rise as Cooper and Kate are thrown together and they finally can’t deny their feelings any longer. Sometimes love arrives in the most unexpected ways, and while some people may see Cooper as a betrayer and Kate as a cheater, I thought the dynamics made the story more interesting. In the end Riverbend Gap is about family and belonging. The characters are relatable and likable. It’s a great start to a new series. I received a review copy from NetGalley, but these are my personal opinions about the story, and I have ordered the book.
