Romance

WOW!!  I love this book!  It is the second book in the Thunder Bay series!   Mac and Gina are still going strong as are Cooper and Sarah.  THE NEWCOMER is mostly about them.  Mac's ex wife, Cee Jay has come back to town.  She says it's to get to know her kids, but Mac isn't buying it.  Gina's daughter gets dumped by her high school sweetheart and goes through some bad times.  While she is receiving treatment questions come up about her medical history.  Questions Gina can't answer without talking to Ashley's father.  That turns out to be a really good thing for Ashley.  She finally gets to know her Dad and all about his past.  While all of the is going on she also gets to know Downy's brother, Frank.  She is no where near ready for a relationship and he realizes that.  He offers her friendship only and doesn't pressure her for anymore. Sarah and Cooper go through some trying times as well.  Sarah finds out she is getting orders to a new base all the way on the East Coast.  How can she pull her younger brother Landon out of school right before his senior year? How Can she say goodbye to Cooper? Just when everything is going their way and Landon finally seems happy, how can she do this to him? There must be a way to make it all work.  Can she uproot him again? In his senior year? Can she ask Coop to take care of him for a year? No she can't.  Coop just found out he has more family then he thought and while it is a beautiful change how can she add Landon to all of his responsibilities ?  What can she do? THE NEWCOMER is a great read and I can't wait to continue with this series! Robyn Carr is an awesome writer that is always pulling at your heart strings! You will be cheering on all the people of Thunder Bay and turning the pages late into the night to find out what happens to each of them!  Five stars all the way!!

SUMMARY

With humor and insight, #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr looks at letting go of the past-and knowing when you've found something worth building your future on 

Single dad and Thunder Point's deputy sheriff "Mac" McCain has worked hard to keep everyone safe and happy. Now he's found his own happiness with Gina James. The longtime friends have always shared the challenges and rewards of raising their adolescent daughters. With an unexpected romance growing between them, they're feeling like teenagers themselves-suddenly they can't get enough of one another. 

And just when things are really taking off, their lives are suddenly thrown into chaos. When Mac's long-lost-and not missed-ex-wife shows up in town, drama takes on a whole new meaning. They're wondering if their new feelings for each other can withstand the pressure...but they are not going down without a fight. 

Step into the world of Thunder Point, a little town on the Oregon coast where newcomers are welcomed, hearts are broken and mended, and the dramas of everyday life keep the locals laughing, crying and falling in love.
