One Wish is book seven in the Thunder Point series.
Grace Dillon used to be a world famous figure skater. She
turned her back
on all of that when she turned twenty-three and settled
down in Thunder
Point. She runs the flower shop in town and no one knows
who she used
to be except for Jake who owns the ice skating rink. He
lets Grace skate
before the rink opens and she pays him for it as long as
he doesn't give her
secret away. Grace just wants to be unrecognized and be
normal like
everyone else.
ONE WISH is the story of how Grace gets a fun coach.
Troy, a teacher at
the high school thinks Grace works too much and decides he
is going to
put some fun into her life. He takes her out to do
different things, things
she would never try on her own. Grace and Troy come to an
agreement
that they will just be friends, no commitment, no strings.
Well, you can
only imagine how this is going to work it right? The
scene where Troy is
standing on a cliff and a rogue wave nails him, leads to
some of the
funniest reading I have done in a long time! I felt like
I was right there,
giggling away with Grace when she comes out of the
souvenir who and
sees the police officer!
Troy has been chasing after Iris for a long time. Iris is
the guidance
counselor at the high school and one of Grace's closest
friends. So Grace
knows it's friends and nothing else with him. She thinks
Troy's cute but still
hung up on Iris, but Iris is married now (to town deputy
Seth) and Troy's
starting to realize that it's not healthy to pine for
Iris. He's now looking at
Grace in a new light. And he likes what he sees. But he
knows Grace is
hiding something about herself, but what is it? When he
finds out, will he be
able to deal with it? Will both of them be able to get
past it?
I've always loved reading Robyn Carr's novels and ONE WISH
is the
perfect way to spend the day. Just me, a big cup of
coffee, and my couch,
visiting my old friends in Thunder Point. It was great
catching up with the
other residents from previous Thunder Point books.
Robyn Carr is an awesome storyteller and I have loved
every one of her
books that I have read. Thunder Point always makes
me feel like I'm back
home and catching up with friends.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr
delivers
another smart, funny, emotional novel about the
complexities
of life in the small Oregon town of Thunder
Point
Grace Dillon was a champion
figure skater until she moved to Thunder Point to escape
the
ruthless world of fame and competition. And though she's
proud of the quiet, self-sufficient life she's created
running a successful flower shop, she knows something is
missing. Her life could use a little
excitement.
In a community where there are
few
eligible singles, high school teacher Troy Headly appoints
himself Grace's fun coach. When he suggests a little
companionship with no strings attached, Grace is eager to
take him up on his offer, and the two enjoy…getting to
know
each other.
But things get complicated when
Grace's past catches up with her, and she knows that's not
what Troy signed up for. Faced with losing her, Troy
realizes Grace is more than just a friend with benefits.
He's determined to help her fight for the life she always
wished for but never believed she could have—and maybe
they
can find real love along the way.
