Robyn Carr has written a series based in Thunder Point
that resonates with heart-warming tales of unerring
searches for love. WILDEST DREAMS is number nine in the
series. Here is a series that is just too good to miss
but if you haven't imbibed WILDEST DREAMS will definitely
have you ready for more. Robyn Carr has drummed up some
totally intriguing characters from her vivid imagination.
Each one of the Thunder Point books leaves you with that
feeling good sense that comes from a great experience. Of
course, I have my favorites in this series -- any Carr fan
will admit to that. But I eagerly await the publishing of
each book and admittedly read them again and again. In
WILDEST DREAMS we are once again reunited with friends
from older books but the story is richly rewarding on its
own. Welcome to Thunder Point and WILDEST DREAMS, where
Robyn Carr makes us believe anything is possible when
it comes to love.
Have you ever met a kid that gets under your skin in a
good way? Well that's Charlie Simmons. He is so bright,
engaging and intuitively good natured. Oh, and very well
behaved and polite. He has to be -- his mother is a force
to reckon with. Blake Smiley was new to the neighborhood, a triathlon
champion who was attracted to Thunder Point
because it would give him the space and peace he
needed, and perhaps a place to call home after so many
years. Blake never expected to find himself in good
company.
His neighbor was a retired figure skater who now faced
great health challenges with ALS. Winnie Banks was
in Thunder Point for an opportunity to be closer to her
daughter Izzy. Their relationship had been strained but
Winnie was hoping against hope that there was still time.
With the help of an old friend and Lin Su, who was proving
to be a godsend, Winnie was making headway. Lin Su and her
son Charlie were becoming very important to Winnie and
her family and friends. And Blake was intrigued by this
bright young man.
Athletes know about challenges. Blake realizes that
Charley has many. But as they get closer Blake is
determined to break that shell around Charley. In order
to do that Blake would be challenging Charley's mother
Lin Su, who was equally determined to protect her son. Two
very determined souls butting heads for the better good --
in this case, a bright, wonderful boy. Robyn Carr captures
our heart and soul with this totally enthralling story
about facing down demons, challenges, and learning to
accept help.
WILDEST DREAMS has too many players to mention, but
believe me they are all equally amazing. WILDEST DREAMS
has a cast of characters that keep you laughing and
turning pages for more. Robyn Carr's Thunder Point just
got even better, if that is even possible.
WILDEST DREAMS is the story of Lin Su Simmons, a home health
care nurse who was separated from her natural Vietnamese
family as a child refugee, and later as a pregnant teenager,
abandoned by her adopted American family. When she meets
professional triathlete Blake Smiley, she isn't ready to let
her guard down but her 14-year old son, Charlie, doesn't
have her same reservations.
What Lin Su doesn't realize is that turning her back on love
and friendship now might cost her more than just a better
future—it might also close the door on a past with which
she’s never been able to reconcile.
