THE WANDERER by Robyn Carr is the first book in her new series,
Thunder Point. If you are a fan of Robyn's Virgin
River series this book will
not disappoint. It is the story of Hank Cooper. The story
takes place in
Oregon where Coop goes to take care of business for a
friend, Ben who
has passed away. When he gets there he meets the local
sheriff, Mac and
his family. He also meets Landon, the high school
quarterback who is
having problems with the local punk. He also gets
introduced to Landen's
older sister Sarah. She has been raising Landon since he
was five and
their parents died. She is recently divorced and is afraid
of letting go of her
heart. Coop on the other hand has commitment issues and has
never
really given his heart to anyone. THE WANDERER is full of
quirky charters
who will keep you turning the pages.
Mac is very good friends with Gina. She is a single mom who
works at the
local diner. Mac is a single Dad who lives with his Aunt.
Mac and Gina's
daughters are best friends and do everything together. So
Mac and Gina
spend a lot of time together but as friends only. Mac is
afraid to take it to
the next level but Gina has loved him for years. Mac is
afraid if things don't
work out he will let Gina down and ruin their friendship.
Gina is at the end
of her rope, waiting for Mac to realize that they could have
a good thing.
So, she takes things into her own hands and this is where
Mac goes crazy!
THE WANDERER was a very quick read and I really got wrapped
up in all
the things going on with all of these people in town. I
have never been to
Oregon but this book makes me want to go there now. It's a
lot like the
Virgin River series but with a new setting and really
awesome and funny
people. Thunder Point would be an awesome place to call
home if only
Hank Cooper would get over his fears and see what is right
in front of his
face. I love this new series. Robyn just has a way of
pulling you right
in and never letting go until the very last page. I can't
wait to read the next
book in this series.
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.
