Summary
Summary
Welcome to a place where love is in the air, fate is in the stars, and home is just a heartbeat away...
Sheriff Andie Shepard may be new to Sanctuary Island but, like everyone else who comes here, she's already fallen under its healing spell. Andie is determined to leave her mistakes behind her and make this scenic haven her home. But she just might have to change her plans--as well as open her heart--when an unexpected visitor shows up on her doorstep...
Heartbreak Cove
Caitlin is the ten-year-old niece Andie never knew she had. Silent, wary, and shy as can be, Caitlin only responds to the horses that run wild across the island. Andie has no idea how to deal with Caitlin--until Sam Brennan enters the picture. A tall, handsome loner who rehabilitates abused horses, Sam is able to help Caitlin break out of her shell. But that's not all: He finds a way to touch something deep in Andie's heart, opening her up to the healing power of love. Together, these threelost souls must face the darkness in their past to build a brighter future. Because here, on Sanctuary Island, anything is possible...

Publisher's Weekly Review
Everett's faltering third Sanctuary Island contemporary (after Shoreline Drive) suffers from inconsistent characterization. Sheriff Andie Shepherd is suspicious of Sam Brennan from their first meeting, not least because of his criminal record, but even in an election year, she's willing to follow her heart-or her lust. News spreads around the tiny Atlantic-coast town in no time flat, and Andie's involvement with Sam puts her job in danger. Andie is also struggling to deal with surprise custody of the 10-year-old niece she's never known. Andie and Sam's relationship is supposedly built on respect and trust, but when straitlaced Andie-who begins the novel with a fairly rigid belief that things will work out if one just follows the rules-seems to tip her entire moral code on its head in support of a man she's only known for a few weeks, her credibility as a strong and substantial heroine begin to crumble.

Library Journal Review
Although not a native, after three years on Sanctuary Island, Sheriff Andie Shepard knows this is the perfect place to put down some long-needed roots. She certainly isn't seeking out a companion in the process-especially a distrustful, lost eight-year-old who hardly says a word. But Caitlin is the daughter Andie's army ranger brother, Owen, never knew he had, so when Caitlin's mother is killed and Owen is sent overseas, naturally Andie welcomes her. Trust comes slowly, but horses and loner Sam Brennan's perceptive insights play their part, helping a fearful child to heal and bringing Sam closer to Andie, as well. VERDICT A resilient, caring sheriff and an emotionally wounded hero find love against all odds in a soul-satisfying romance that highlights the importance of family, second chances, and loyalty; adds a dollop of danger; and treats fans to the magic of the idyllic Sanctuary Island and its elusive wild horses. Everett (Shoreline Drive) also writes as Louisa Edwards; she lives in Austin, TX. (c) Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
