On the Virginia barrier isle Sanctuary Island, strictly by the
book Sheriff Andie Shepherd and break the rules Sam Brennan are attracted to
each other, but she distrusts him; while he wants her but keeps his
distance. Both knows a tryst would prove
harmful as an affair would place her reelection bid in jeopardy and interfere
with his calling.
Andie answers a wild horse call; only to find Sam calmly settling
down the skittish animal. He explains to
the sheriff that he rescues and rehabilitates abused horses. When her niece Caitlin arrives at her home,
Andie welcomes her into her house though she never knew of the tweener’s
existence. Struggling with her parenting
skills, Andie realizes Caitlin’s love of wild horses makes her welcome by
Sam. As Andie revises her opinion of Sam
from being a miscreant to a good neighbor, they fall in love.
The third Sanctuary Island romance (see Shoreline Drive) is an
overall fine drama. The two wild horse
lovers’ connection is very tender, but Andie’s abrupt ethics turn-around from a
lifetime of rigid black and white adherence of the law to sometimes you do” the
wrong thing for the right reason” seems unlikely and detracts from an otherwise
warm contemporary.
