Sanctuary Cove
Rochelle Alers
Forever, Jan 1 2012, $5.99
ISBN: 9781455501403
In Charleston, South Carolina, schoolteacher Louis Robinson is accused of improper behavior with a student. He is suspended pending an investigation. He claims innocence as he was comforting a distraught girl; the media, the board and the townsfolk condemn him. He soon dies in an accident prior to his exoneration.
His seething wife of eighteen years rejects the phony condolence of those feeling guilt for hanging her mate. Instead Deborah leaves the city of pain accompanied by her teenagers (Whitney and Crystal) to move into the home she inherited from her grandparents on nearby Cavanaugh Island. Deborah also relocates her bookstore there.
Widower Dr. Asa Monroe is a snowbird newcomer to the island. He grieves the deaths of his wife and son. To escape, he has come to Cavanaugh while he waits for an assignment from Doctors Without Borders. He’s just waiting for his assignment.
Both adults are grieving but find a spark when they meet. As they fall in love, her priority has to be her children mourning the death of their dad; while his has been being a physician in a needy place.
The first Cavanaugh Island romance is a wonderful barrier island second chance at love. The support cast is superb especially the teens and islanders. However, this is the tale of two grieving people who find hope with one another. Although the warm story line is predicable, readers will enjoy visiting the Lowcountry with Rochelle Alers as their guide.
