Fan of Robyn Carr

I liked this audiobook, however the book description was a little misleading. I expected more of a love story between Mac and Gina, along with how they worked their families into a whole. This was not the case.
This story is a continuation of Cooper and Sarah's romance and their issues, which might i say was great and excellent to listen to. I felt a lot more invested in them in this story. Having listened to the first in the series I now understand that it is going to be about the community of Thunder Point more than the romance of individual characters.
Carr also brought teen love and heartache into this story. I actually cried for Ashley!!! I have children so for this to happen to one would be devastating. I really think Carr nailed it, the emotions, the out of control feelings of an adolescent.
I have to add that if you are new to the Thunder Point series?, listen to The Wanderer (book 1) first as you will have a better understanding of the community and what Robyn Carr is trying to achieve in her novels.
Lastly, and I know I always say this, but Therese Plummer is my favourite narrator, she is fantastic for this series and anything of hers I have listened to I have thought a better book due to her.

Well worth the credit

I am a fan of Robyn Carr and have enjoyed everyone of her books that I have read or listened to. This book is no exception. It has a great story line and is equally enjoyable on its own or with others in the series.

More from Thunder Point

This second book in the series continues with Mac & Gina and Cooper & Sarah and families and friends in Thunder Point. As each of these two relationships deepen, other relationships begin, end and meet challenges. Many true to life events unfold with some heartbreak, strengthening of bonds and severing of past friendships. This was an emotionally stirring story with happiness along with sorrow. Underlying all is a richness of life that people find in Thunder Point.

Loving this series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it's a wonderful story of people who become very much a part of me while i listen. Again in a small town where everyone seems to know each other's business but the characters involved. Captivating!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mac and Grace-both very good characters with history of families but haven't thought about dating. They are super great parents with charming personalities.

Have you listened to any of Therese Plummer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Therese Plummer is close to number one in all narrations I've heard. She's gifted! Always superb.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It held my interest and I listened as much as I could each day without missing anything.

Any additional comments?

Read this series in order. If you like small towns, people of long ago this series is for you. I found it delightful. I have now finished all that has been written including book 6.

Love all her books!!

can't wait to read book three!! she's such a great author! amazing how she puts all her characters together and they blend so well throughout the stories

Thoughtful romance

I like that Carr, in addition to writing interesting characters and great sense of place, also costs to tackle difficult emotional issues like teenage pregnancy and bullying. She does so thoughtfulness and sensitivity.

Very Enjoyable Listen

I love the characters that Robyn Carr creates. I'm glad in this series, new people are added, but you don't lose touch with other one, and what's happening in their lives.
