Riverbend Gap

A Riverbend Romance, Book 1

De: Denise Hunter

Narrado por: Jessica Holtan

She came in search of the family she’d always wanted - and found the kind of love she’d never dared 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 their 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 secrets from 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 could have imagined.

Katie stands to lose the first family she’s ever had, and a scandal could doom Cooper’s campaign for sheriff. Suddenly they find themselves on the edge of another precipice - and they’re forced to make a decision that could change their lives forever.

Great story

I really enjoyed the story. The characters were relatable. But, I barely got through the book because the narration was just like the TikTok lady. It was so difficult to listen to for an entire book.

great book!

this is the first time that I have listened to a book by this author but it was a good clean romance and the situation could happen in anyone's family. one brother stops to help a stranded motorist unbeknownst to him that it's his brother's new girlfriend but they had initially had a spark when they met and as feelings grew it put the family in a tough situation. I hardly recommend and I can't wait to listen to another book by Denise Hunter!!

loved it

great story. I will definitely finish the series. Had a little bit of suspense.

Narrator needs direction

The story was okay, but the narrator, Jessica Holtan needs help. Especially when she refers to characters having a southern accent and all her narrative style reveals characters with nasal tones and have no distinguishable accents. I suggest Jessica listens to Barbara Rosenblat, a 5 star narrator! Is there a director? I couldn’t get behind the story at all and it had potential. Please find a new narrator!

Good Series

Sweet series, for sure. I got a bit tired of the frequent praying and asking God for help in every chapter. I am a believer. However, I did get a little weary of the constant theme.

just such a beautiful romantic exciting book that kept my interest the whole way!

there is nothing I disliked about this book I loved everything about it and I'm going to listen to the others!

Could not put it down

Fantastic story, and narrator. Love this author, 1st book I have read of hers. Yes

Heartwarming love story

This is a book with clean language with values and beliefs in God. I enjoyed it.

Very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this storyline, characters, and the narrator. It was light, yet not completely predictable, with a happy ending.

This was a great book!
