With Almost a Bride and Caught by the Sheriff, Rula Sinara takes readers to Turtleback Beach, North Carolina, and the trip proves to be a delight. It is no surprise that romance has great potential to spark in this small town, yet secrets and second chances do their best to complicate matters. As the characters—Grayson Zale and Mandi Rivers in Almost a Bride, Carlos Ryker and Faye Donovan in Caught by the Sheriff—sort through the complications before them, the stories develop with great heart. Sweet, heartwarming, and just plain fun, Sinara’s Turtleback Beach are the perfect choice for the contemporary-romance reader right now.

I received complimentary copies of these books and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )

Rula Sinara returns to Turtleback Beach and focuses on the town Sheriff, Carlos Ryker. When Faye shows up in his town with a baby, he’s curious about her. Carlos takes his job to protect his town and the people in it seriously.

But Faye has secrets. Big ones. Ones that could bring trouble to her, baby Mia, and Turtleback. And that ramps up the tension in this book and keeps it moving along at a nice clip.

The residents of Turtleback are loyal to their pets and their friends. Plus, there’s more than one romance in Caught by the Sheriff. Eve made an appearance in the first book in the series and I hoped we’d get her story. It’s in the pages of Caught by the Sheriff.

Between the instant attraction between Carlos and Faye and the tension of waiting for the truth to come to light, Sinara builds the anticipation through out this book, making it a quick read.
There are a few more residents of this coastal town I hope get their own stories in future books, too.
