THE CHANCE by Robyn Carr is book four in her Thunder
Point
series. Many of the old timers are in THE CHANCE and some
new residents are introduced. Mostly, the story revolves
around Eric Gentry. He is the ex of Gina and Ashley's
father. He moves to Thunder Point to get to know his
daughter whom he didn't even know existed. He only found
out he had a daughter when Gina sought him out to get some
medical information about his side of the family. He is
always working and spending time with Ashley until the day
Laine Carrington decides to move to Thunder Point. Laine
is introduced in book three, The Hero and is an FBI agent.
She moves to Thunder Point to do some soul searching and to
recuperate. She is also hiding from her father, Senior as
she calls him, and his negativity. After he shows up on
her door step Laine is forced to face her true feelings for
him.
You will also be introduced to Al. He has worked for Eric
in the past and comes to Thunder Point looking for work.
He becomes smitten with Ray Anne who is the local real
estate agent. While working for Eric, Al gets to know his
co worker, Justin Russell. He is a high school kid who has
a sick Mom and is helping out raising his two younger
brothers. Al's heart goes out to the kid and he tries to
help him but pride and stubbornness keep him from accepting
Al's help. When Justin no longer can take care of his mom,
she is put in the hospital and it makes things even harder
for Justin to keep his family together. Al, while he is
scared the authorities are going to break up Justin's
family, cant get involved. He has never put down roots in
one place for very long, he cant read and he feels he
wouldn't be a good influence on the younger boys. Before
too long, Al takes off under the pretenses of going to help
a friend out, but he is once again running.
I love this new series by Robyn. She pulls you right in
from the very first page and never lets you go. THE CHANCE
is the best book in the series but then again, I said that
about the previous three books. I love the relationship
and banter that Laine and Eric develop. I was reading and
giggling through many pages. You can never go wrong with a
Robyn Carr book and THE CHANCE does not disappoint.
Thunder Point sounds like a great place to live and an
awesome place to raise a family. I found THE CHANCE to be
a very fast and pleasurable read. The only problem is that
now I'm all caught up on the Thunder Point series and
have
to wait for the next book.
Share the joys, heartbreaks, challenges and triumphs of
the people who inhabit the small Oregon town of Thunder
Point with #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn
Carr
With its breathtaking vistas and down-to-earth people,
Thunder Point is the perfect place for FBI agent Laine
Carrington to recuperate from a gunshot wound and
contemplate her future. The locals embraced Laine as one of
their own after she risked her life to save a young girl
from a dangerous cult. Knowing her wounds go beyond the
physical, Laine hopes she'll fit in for a while and find her
true self in a town that feels safe. She may even learn to
open her heart to others, something an undercover agent has
little time to indulge.
Eric Gentry is also new to Thunder Point. Although he's a
man with a dark past, he's determined to put down roots and
get to know the daughter he only recently discovered. When
Laine and Eric meet, their attraction is obvious to
everyone. But while the law enforcement agent and the
reformed criminal want to make things work, their
differences may run too deep…unless they take a chance on
each other and find that deep and mysterious bond that
belongs to those who choose love over fear.
