Come back to a small town on the Oregon coast, in book 4 of the beloved
Thunder Point series only from 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.
4.5 STARS
This is the first book that I have read in the Thunder Point series. And I really liked it a lot. The main focus is on Laine of course; her story. Laine and Eric make for a interesting people, both on their own and as a couple. The livelong friction between Laine and her father add another dimension to her story. So does her twin brother Pax (and his family) who have her back.
There was at least one point like I felt like the story started to drag a bit but I kept reading because I liked the characters. I'm glad I did because things started to pick up again.
I think that this book could also be best described as "a book of many stories". It's the community that they are living in and the depth of each of the people living there. It wasn't confusing but there are several stories like I mentioned. Justin is a 17 year old who is working for Eric and struggling to keep his family together. Then their is Al, a longtime friend of Eric's who shows up to work with him from time to time. He's a bit of a wanderer but he has his reasons. He likes to work for Eric when he can because Eric is a straight up guy who treats his workers well.
That's just to mention a few of the people and I just want to mention Ray Ann, who was quite the colorful person too.
I have to agree with another reviewer that the end of the story felt a bit rushed and left me a bit dissatisfied. It's like I wanted more although some good things were forming. However not enough to keep me from wanting to read the next book in the series.
