The Place I Belong

The Place I Belong

Series: Whisper Horse, Book 3

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 is a mesmerizing story, agonizing at times, bliss-filled at others and always a heartrending exploration of love. And oh, the luscious sexual tension — the buildup to Adam and Hannah’s physical connection is keen, the sex earthy and passionate — and enviably, delightfully frequent. Herkness has an exquisite savvy when it comes to writing romance, and she’s sure to rule your keeper shelf.”
 —Kathy Altman, USAToday HEA blog

“Every. Single. Aspect. Is. Perfect. I love the tension, the amount of buildup. It is completely believable. It’s not at all like two people are thrown together and forced to want one another. This has the natural development that you yearn for in a piece. It leaves you rooting for the two of them, hoping that Hannah and Adam will work through everything, and be the ones that can bring peace to each other. 5 Stars.”
 —Veronica Hardy, book blogger

“She did it again.  Nancy Herkness continues to write books I quickly find myself lost in.  This whole Whisper Horse theme touches me.  I wish I had a whisper horse! 5 Stars.”
 —Lori, Escape with Dollycas Into a Good Book

“The Place I Belong is multi-layered. It reaches out to readers on so many levels. The exquisite details about the small town of Sanctuary let you almost smell the mountain air. The descriptions of the various foods make your mouth water. The conflict between Hannah and Adam make your heart ache and flutter. Add Matt and his Whisper Pony Satchmo and you are hopelessly hooked on a novel so very rich in texture and feelings.”
 —Heide Katros, Winter Haven News

“I looked forward to reading The Place I Belong a third, or maybe it’s a fourth time, for this SBTB review. The combination of this compelling couple, plus the location and the secondary characters, both human and animal, kept Adam and Hannah’s story in my mind long after reading the story, which made it an “A” in my book.”
—Laura L., Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
