They promised to meet in four years…
He was there. Where was she?
Conor Delaney believed he and Shelby Brookes shared something special. Until the girl he’d loved since fourth grade was a no-show for what should have been the most romantic reunion of their lives.
Two years and one shattered heart later, Shelby’s back in their California town–as the new chef at Conor’s family restaurant. The single mom has a reason for what she did…and a plan for winning back the guarded California lawman.

Title: Reunited with the Sheriff
Series: Delaneys of Sandpiper Beach #3
Author: Lynne Marshall
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: May 1, 2018
Publisher: Harlequin Special Edition
My Rating: 4.5 stars
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.
