I really enjoyed this romance. I received it for free and I voluntarily chose to review this. I’ve given this a 4.5* rating. This is not for the under 18 readers. I really felt for the hero but he was a little bit of a enabler telling her she could go for her dream and the heroine had it her way but wondered why she was all alone. It took a bit for each of them to figure this all out. For smart people, you just wonder. Read this to find out.
This is the third book of the The Delaneys of Sandpiper Beach trilogy and Daniel and Mark Delaney’s brother Conor finally gets his own story. Conor is a sheriff and two years ago he experienced the rejection of the girl he had loved since fourth grade. Now Shelby Brooke has returned to work as a chef in his family’s restaurant and she wants to make amends. Conor may be a tough lawman but his heart is still bruised; he may be a good guy but his wounded pride won’t allow her back in. There’s just so much understanding that one person should be expected to extend!
I enjoyed getting to know Conor Delaney and I could understand his reluctance to let his guard down. The fact that Shelby wasn’t alone when she returned just added insult to injury because her two year old son was a constant reminder of the life she had shared with another man!
Author Lynne Marshall has created characters that we all can relate to and, after reading these three books, I feel like the Delaneys could be neighbors down the street. They work together, they respect each other and they genuinely love each other. And the Irish legend of the selkie (seal) that Padraig shared with his three grandsons plays a big part in all three books. It is definitely worth checking into!!
Reunited with the Sheriff is a great way to conclude this trilogy and I heartily recommend it.
I received a copy of this book from the author but this review is voluntary and these opinions are my own.
This is Book 3 of the Delaneys of Sandpiper Beach. Conor is the Sheriff and he’s loved Shelby since 4th grade. Then she broke his heart by leaving and not coming back for him. Now she’s finally back in town as the new chef at his family’s restaurant. Can he forget that he wasn’t enough for her? This is a very good story that has shows how two people can have different things happen in their lives, but they can also learn from what happened in their past. It grabs your heart from the first page through to the end. It’s an emotional book but well worth the heartache. Loved reading it and now I’m off to get the first two books in the series. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
