This is Book 4 of the Riverbend Romance series. The first two were a lot of fun to read, the third one was a bit dark and hard to get through. This one had its ups and downs. What Denise Hunter got right when she discussed the Appalachian Trail culture is the way trail names are handed out. I also appreciated the way she brought in the horse culture and wove it into the story seamlessly.
Both Charlotte and Gunner have past hurts that need to be worked through and though they did, it wasn't the most healthy way. It did work for the story, and I guess that's all the author wants. I love the way Jeff, the step-father to Gavin and Cooper, settles situations with his two pennies on the table. He lets you know that he has thoughts about your conundrum, but it's up to you to decide that you want to hear his thoughts. He won't push them on you, but lets you know he's got his two cents worth to inject into the circumstances. If only more adults took that perspective and used that method, a lot less hurt would be hurled around.
I enjoyed reading the book. The pacing of the plot kept me engaged, and the characters were believable as well as likable.
Four Stars.
