Synopsis:
Some call this river a taker of souls, a reaper. Sanguine is the Spanish
word for blood and God knows plenty has been spilled in its murky depths. As
Tina floats on her back, she couldn’t help but feel its more of an artery,
giving life to its limbs.
Not everyone would agree.
Tough as nails, Tina Foster, doesn’t have time for a relationship. She’s far too busy running her family construction company. Tina’s take charge attitude may intimidate some, but to others, she’s a rock, a woman with a plan. Taming a heart this strong will take a man up for a challenge, and so far, there haven’t been too many contenders worthy of her time.
Bo Galloway is returning to Riverview after a rough few years. He’s home to take care of his grandmother and prays for a chance at redemption and a fresh start. Untrusting of most women, he doesn’t know what to think of his new boss. He definitely didn’t expect to admire Tina Foster. Bo’s only shot at getting Tina to notice him is to be as strong as she is.
Just like the waters of the Sanguine, Bo and Tina must find their flow. Will the waters sweep away their only chance at true love, or nourish a relationship as steady as the river itself?

My Thoughts:
Returning to his childhood home of Riverview after being incarcerated
for 4 years, Bo Allen Galloway struggles to find happiness and a place for
himself in the outside world. After suffering a bitter betrayal at the hands of
his mother Bo is wary of woman and struggles (briefly) with his overwhelming
insta-love for his new boss Tina and her take-no-prisoners (hide the nail-gun)
personality.
When Tina assumed the role of foreman of her family’s construction
company after an accident leaves her father desk bound she was emotionally
burned when her long-term boyfriend, unable to deal with her being his boss, broke her
heart. She goes through her days busily
“fixing” everyone and everything, being everyone’s rock while drifting along in
a lack-lustre, emotionally distant relationship. Tina has steered clear of a
deeper relationship, choosing to guard herself from future pain.
As the story progresses Bo must to prove to Tina that
he can deal with her strong and dominant personality in the workplace, while
Tina must learn to relax and let Bo take care of her in their private life.
Their relationship builds smoothly (with a couple of bumps in the road) despite
their insecurities and strong personalities culminating in a satisfying
epilogue.
The supporting characters have interesting back stories that will no
doubt result in future books to be set in the town of Riverview. Why the river runs is a light and enjoyable
dual POV contemporary romance that flows as smoothly as the Sanguine River (when
it isn’t killing off the inhabitants of the town). Overall an engaging weekend
read.
