THE HERO by Robyn Carr is the third book in her Thunder
Point series.
This is the story of Devon McAllister. She has been living
in a cult like
compound for the past four years and has a little girl named
Mercy. She
wants to leave and take her daughter out of there but she
doesn't know
how and the head of the group tells her if she leaves, Mercy
stays with him.
One night Laine, who is new to the group tells her she can
get out but she
has to leave now.
Of course she does and once out on the road she meets
Rawley who
works for Cooper in Thunder Point. Rawley helps her get
her life back.
The first thing they decide on is telling everyone that
Devon is Rawley's
distant cousin so there wont be too many questions of how
she wound up
in Thunder Point. Along the way, she meets all the awesome
characters of
Thunder Point and they are all quick to help her.
Devon quickly finds a job with the new town doctor who is
taken by her
plight and agrees to hire her in his office as his
assistant. She finds a beat
up duplex in great need of repair and is excited to be on
her own and out of
Rawley's hair. to her surprise, all her new friends come
over one day while
she is at work and clean, paint, scrape, and bring in some
furniture to make
her house a home. She is beside herself and feels she
doesn't deserve it.
One of those friends is Spencer, the new coach of the high
school football
team. He is quickly taken with her even though he is a new
widower he
feels things he hasn't felt for a woman in a long time.
We learn a lot about Rawley in THUNDER POINT. He has had a
rough go
of life, serving three tours in Vietnam. He came home to
Thunder Point to
take care of his Dad and now that his Dad is gone he finds
himself opening
up to Devon and is quickly taken by Mercy. He has been in
the same place
Devon has been and now it's his chance to pay it forward.
I truly love this book and this series. Robyn has a way of
pulling you right
in from the first page and never letting you go. You will
be up all night
turning the pages. The people of Thunder Point are
like one big happy
family and they are always quick to help out one another.
THE HERO is a great
story of love, forgiveness, starting over, trust, and true
friendship. I can't
wait to read the next book!
With warmth and sensitivity, #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr shows readers that falling in love can be the bravest act of all. In a moment of desperation, Devon McAllister takes her daughter and flees a place where they should have been safe and secure. She has no idea what is around the next bend, but she is pretty certain it can't be worse than what they've left behind. Her plan is to escape to somewhere she can be invisible. Instead, an unexpected offer of assistance leads her to Thunder Point, a tiny Oregon town with a willingness to help someone in need. As the widowed father of a vulnerable young boy, Spencer Lawson knows something about needing friendship. But he's not looking for anything else. Instead, he's thrown his energy into his new role as Thunder Point's high school football coach. Tough and demanding to his team, off the field he's gentle and kind...just the kind of man who could heal Devon's wounded heart. Devon thought she wanted to hide from the world. But in Thunder Point, you find bravery where you least expect it...and sometimes, you find a hero.
