Reunited with the Sheriff

Conor Delaney and Shelby Brookes made a promise to rekindle their amazing romance in four years. She was going away to pursue her dreams as a sous-chef in New York, knowing that it could lead to an illustrious career. It was Shelby’s biggest dream to become a chef. It is now six years later. Not only has she broken Conor's heart, she is back in their hometown of Sandpiper Beach, with a toddler in tow. However, she doesn’t have forever in mind. Or does she?

What a sweet romance! While it is patently obvious to understand Shelby's actions, it is equally difficult to deal with Conor's pain. This is an excellent read from the Delaneys of Sandpiper Beach trilogy.

Many thanks from HQ and NetGalley for this book for review.

A good romance with a nice story line. No dragging in the middle which usually happens in the romance genre.
A good, quick read with characters I found myself rooting for.

Loved Conor and Shelby’s story.

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.

This is a nice second chance romance, that’s a lot harder on the hero, Conor, than the heroine, Shelby. While it's a decent read, the heroine is a little more selfish than I'd like to see, and poor Conner just continues to have a stiff upper lip. I think their love and chemistry are genuine, so I wanted to see the HEA that we finally get. I just wish the heroine hadn't strayed so closed to the dislike line.

I received an ARC of this book, from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Reunited with the Sheriff is an emotional, true to life romance, a second chance to rekindle a love that has gone through some very rough, hurtful things. Just because there is the possibility of a second chance doesn’t mean that the past hurts are forgotten. They may fade over time and with a good solid love anything is possible… but the past cannot be erased. Sometimes we have to deal with our choices, and both Shelby and Conor made choices that brought them to this place, this time and this chance to get it right. It would be so easy and convenient to lay blame on either one, but the truth is they both made mistakes, choices and held back as well as pushed forward. The reality becomes can Conor get beyond the deep hurt that Shelby handed him when she didn’t meet with him on that agreed date… and the reason she couldn’t.

This is a story with deep undertones, the reality of choices made and the regrets for past actions. I don’t think you can read Shelby and Conor’s story without becoming emotional, angry even at times. Watching them work through so much became a journey with friends, one that I enjoyed very much.

If you love a good romance that makes you feel, that has more than a touch of real life experiences and love watching two people who are right for each other rediscover what truly matters, then Reunited with the Sheriff is a story you’ll want to pick up. This entire series is an enjoyable, emotional journey and I’d highly recommend every story in The Delaneys of Sandpiper Beach series to any Contemporary Romance reader who enjoys a good romance, believable situations, likable characters and a lively crew of secondary characters to bring it all to life.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

** I have received an Arc for a honest review!! **

I have not read a story from this author and it definitely won't be last!!

What a really nice and sweet book! I even bought the book at the local Wal-Mart!

Conor is a sheriff. He loved this girl since the fourth grade and was rejected two years ago. Now she, Shelby, wants to make amends and is working as a chef in his family restaurant.

I fully highly recommend!! I quite loved it!

A great story about second-chances and young lovers reuniting after life tore them apart.
Conor is the quintessential hero, mature, unselfish and supportive of Shelby in their youth. His reluctance in the present is well written and believable, as well as the gradual breaking down of his defenses.
The author does a great job showing how these two people, who were childhood friends before becoming lovers, still care and have feelings for each other despite the hurt and mistrust. There’s no way to erase the past, but feelings are renewed as the couple, especially Shelby, learn from experience and mistakes.
Conor and Benjamin gradual bonding was heart-warming – I loved watching the big, strong man cuddling the toddler. I also enjoyed revisiting Sandpiper Beach and the Delaneys and all the delicious things Shelby cooked.
