Publisher's summary

Audie Award Finalist, Romance, 2014

Nestled on the Oregon coast is a small town of rocky beaches and rugged charm. Locals love the land’s unspoiled beauty. Developers see it as a potential gold mine. When newcomer Hank Cooper learns he’s been left an old friend’s entire beachfront property, he finds himself with a community’s destiny in his hands. Cooper has never been a man to settle in one place, and Thunder Point was supposed to be just another quick stop. But Cooper finds himself getting involved with the town. And with Sarah Dupre, a woman as complicated as she is beautiful. With the whole town watching for his next move, Cooper has to choose between his old life and a place full of new possibilities. A place that just might be home.

I'm loving Robyn Carr's new series!

Once again Robyn Carr gives us an interesting small town to read about. Like in Virgin River, the town of Thunder Point has characters you want to know more about. I'm looking forward to learning what happens next. Therese Plummer does a great job as always.

The Wanderer

I truly loved this audiobook. Ben willed the bar to Cooper. Her ex-husband Derek was trying to come onto her to get her to reconsider their situation. He cheated with the maid of honor on the day of their wedding. Fortunately, the maid of honor owned up to the cheating. Looks like Cooper is going to stay and run the bar. Looks like Jag hit Ben with a 2 x 4, and then he burned it. What a lousy person he is. I’m so glad that his friend ratted on him and he is going to jail. He is in love with Sarah, and she told him that she loved him too. So he is not going to take that flying job, that he actually loves, but he is going to stay on the ground and run the bar.

Second Time Listening

You know how you have those books you need to revisit because they are such a comfort, well this is one of mine. The characters are so relatable that you feel like you belong to their family. Also the narrator is wonderful with the voices. I highly recommend this book and this series. Now I'm on to re-reading book 2.
