Book Description:
Living life to the fullest always requires sacrifice.
Avery Robinson decided to be a physician after helplessly
watching her mother lose a battle with a terrible disease. Now at risk of
developing the same illness, Avery guards her heart from love. She’s driven to
protect her loved ones as a workaholic doctor in the tiny mountain town of
Riverbend Gap, North Carolina.
Contractor Wes Garrett is hiking the Appalachian trail, in
memory of the man who died saving his life, when an illness racks his body.
After an agonizing fifteen-mile hike to Avery’s clinic, he collapses on her
doorstep. He recovers to find himself in debt again, this time to a beautiful
doctor.
When he decides to help her renovate a rundown carriage
house, the obstacles to their attraction sprout like weeds—starting with the
woman waiting for Wes at the end of the trail. Will he be able to relinquish
the debt he owes his best friend? And will Avery find the courage to risk
everything for love?
The second book in Denise Hunter’s popular Riverbend Romance
series explores what it might be like to live fearlessly and free.
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed reading Mulberry Hollow. Denise Hunter digs into the souls of her characters and discovers their
needs, personalities, and quirks. Dr. Avery Robinson has thrown herself into
her work at the clinic she opened, to keep her mind off of the future she
believes is inevitable. Wes Garrett wants to do right by his friend, but has
given himself high expectations. The two meet and their adventures begin in the
beautiful setting of the Appalachian Mountains. I admire both characters for
their integrity and desire to help other people. Hunter has penned a sweet romance
that heals and opens doors to freedoms neither Avery nor Ross dreamed possible.
Mulberry Hollow is a clean read with undertones of faith and hope. If you enjoy
a good romance, you can't go wrong with Denise Hunter's stories. I received a
complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are
completely my own.
