*BOOK REVIEW- The Promise (Thunder Point #5) by Robyn Carr

   

#1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr returns to Thunder Point with an uplifting story about overcoming loss and finding unexpected love.

 Scott Grant has a bustling family practice in the small Oregon community of Thunder Point. The town and its people have embraced the widowed doctor and father of two, his children are thriving, and Scott knows it's time to move on from his loss. But as the town's only doctor, the dating pool is limited. That is, until a stunning physician's assistant applies for a job at his clinic. Peyton Lacoumette considers herself entirely out of the dating scene. She's already been burned by a man with kids, and she's come to Thunder Point determined not to repeat past mistakes. When Scott offers her a job, at a much lower salary than she's used to, Peyton is surprisingly eager to accept… at least for now. She's willing to stay for a three-month trial period while she explores other options. Scott and Peyton know the arrangement is temporary - it isn't enough time to build a real relationship, never mind anything with lasting commitment. But love can blossom faster than you think when the timing is right, and this short visit just might hold the promise of forever. Look for What We Find by Robyn Carr, a powerful story of healing, new beginnings and one woman's journey to finding the happiness she's long been missing. Order your copy today!

I LIKED IT BUT I DIDN'T LOVE IT

 This story had a good home town feeling. The community and it's people were as much a part of this story as were Peyton and Scott.   Peyton's family also has a pretty good part in this story too.  They are her support system when she needs them.  
And Scott and Peyton were good main characters.  Scott's two children added a lot to the story as well.

Peyton has led quite the interesting life both in her large family and in her career.  She just came out of a very painful 3 year relationship with Ted.   That is well outlined and she feels like she "wasted" 3 years of her life in that relationship.  Too bad that he is so excellent as a doctor but so shabby as a father or in relationships.  Her ex will continue to harass her for a while, trying to have to "help him out" when he needs to  man up and take responsibility.  
Scott is quite a different kind of doctor and man.  Something he proves time and again.  And as busy as he is he always makes sure to have time with his small children.
An unexpected twist comes up towards the end of the book.  
There is a H.E.A. to finish this story off.
