Nancy Herkness invites readers back to Sanctuary, West Virginia, in Book Three of the award-winning Whisper Horse series.

Fleeing professional scandal and a broken engagement, veterinarian Hannah Linden abandons Chicago for the mountain town of Sanctuary, West Virginia, hoping to put her troubles with men and the media behind her. But when she encounters world-famous chef Adam Bosch, she finds herself increasingly drawn to the charming but darkly complex man and his troubled teenage son, Matt. Adam, a recovering alcoholic, fears he can never be a worthy father to the surly, distant boy he has just come to know, and enlists Hannah’s help in his struggle to connect with his son.

Hoping to coax Matt out of his shell, Hannah introduces the boy to an ailing brown pony who has the power to change his view of the world. But can the determined little whisper horse prove to Hannah, Adam, and Matt that they were meant to be a family?

THE PLACE I BELONG (A Whisper Horse Novel) by Nancy Herkness.

Nancy Herkness continues delivering superb romance, this time featuring the All-in-Black charmer Chef Adam Bosch, successful owner of The Aerie, an elite restaurant in the area. Hannah, a kind hearted city girl, wants to find a fresh start to leave behind an ex-fiancé and other problems as she finds a job working as a vet in Sanctuary. But issues in the past catch up with her, which may affect those around her. Topics in this story include a teenage son who appears unexpectedly in Adam's life. He's also an AA sponsor. Both Adam and Hannah will deal with their issues and of course there's a happy ending. Other four legged protagonists are always present which truly make this story even a more enjoyable read. There are friends from previous stories present, whom I really enjoyed seeing again! You'll find drama, passion, exquisite cuisine, lots of animal love and sense of community and support. Sanctuary is one of those places you wish you could live in. I can't say enough great things about Nancy Herkness' writing style. I'm just pleased as punch to be able to review her stories. 5 happy hearts for this one!
