Taking a Chance

“I love curling up with a good romance. But I hate it when I reach the end of a good book because I want to spend more time with the characters. That’s why I was delighted to discover Renee Kumor’s Riverbend Chronicles series, allowing me to move from book to book with Lynn and Dusty. This is only the second book in the ongoing series, so I have much more to look forward to reading.”
- Rosemary Mason, author of 123 for ME!

This second entry in the popular River Bend Chronicles gives us a growing relationship between Lynn Powers and police detective Dusty Reid -- along with two murders. It begins with a battered woman being taken to the local woman’s shelter, and Lynn recognizing her as a potential donor to the River Bend Philanthropies. What’s going on in this peaceful little town?.

Renee Kumor has lived in North Carolina for over thirty years. The setting for the River Bend Chronicles series reflects her early life in Ohio and her later years in western North Carolina. She was a stay-at-home mom for several years developing a personal ethic of community service. Through the years as her children aged, she became active in the political and non-profit life of the community. She began writing a political opinion column for the local newspaper, but retired from writing when she announced her candidacy for local political office.
