Rivers Sullivan bears both visible and invisible scars—those on her shoulder from a bullet wound and those on her heart from the loss of her fiancé during the same brutal attack. Not even her background as an art therapist can help her regain her faith in humanity. Still, she scrapes together the courage to travel to St. Simons Island to see the beach cottage and art gallery she’s inherited from her fiancé. When she stumbles upon recovering addicts running her gallery, she’s forced to reckon with her own healing.
After the tragic drowning of his cousin, James Cooper Knight spends his days trying to make up for his past mistakes. He not only dedicates his life to addiction counseling, but guilt drives him to the water, searching for others who’ve been caught unaware of the quickly rising tides of St. Simons. When he rescues a peculiar blond woman and her sketch pad from a sandbar, then delivers this same woman to his deceased grandmother’s properties, he knows things are about to get even more complicated.
Tragic circumstances draw Cooper and Rivers closer, but they fight their growing feelings. Though Cooper’s been sober for years, Rivers can’t imagine trusting her heart to someone in recovery, and he knows a relationship with her will only rip his family further apart. Distrust and guilt are only the first roadblocks they must overcome if they take a chance on love.

REVIEW:
4/5 Stars
I was sent this book from the
publisher/publicity team. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal
opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have
sent me books to review.
Art of Rivers is the third book in
the Coastal Hearts series. I did not realize
this was part of a series. I read this
as a standalone and had no problem getting to know the story. However; I enjoyed it so much I plan to go
back and read books one and two.
Triggers for substance abuse and addiction. I loved that this focuses on series topics,
but also had romance and family within the themes as well. If you love hard hitting contemporary, I
think you will really enjoy this one. I
was not expecting the story at all and I fell in love with the authors writing.
Overall, I loved this one.
