The Wanderer by Robyn Carr

The Wanderer (Thunder Point, #1)

by Robyn Carr

From Robyn Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the popular Virgin River novels, comes Thunder Point--the highly anticipated new series that will make you laugh, make you sigh, and make you fall in love with a small town filled with people you'll never forget.

Nestled on the Oregon coast is a small town of rocky beaches and rugged charm. Locals love the land's unspoiled beauty. Developers see it as a potential gold mine. When newcomer Hank Cooper learns he's been left an old friend's entire beachfront property, he finds himself with a community's destiny in his hands.

Cooper has never been a man to settle in one place, and Thunder Point was supposed to be just another quick stop. But Cooper finds himself getting involved with the town. And with Sarah Dupre, a woman as complicated as she is beautiful.

With the whole town watching for his next move, Cooper has to choose between his old life and a place full of new possibilities. A place that just might be home.

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've never rooted for so many characters in a book as in The Wanderer. There's Cooper and Sarah, the main protagonists, but there's also 3 more couples you'll fall in love with, of different generations, too. I read and listened to this one on audiobooks, amazing! There's real life issues, things you'll probably relate to, great romance, drama, mystery, friendly community, pets, even a dash of humor in some scenes. Boy was I rooting for Gina and Mac, too.

If you've read the Virgin River series and never wanted to part from it, believe me, you are going to love Thunder Point! Even though it has the same elements, you won't feel as if it's a repeat.
I don't know how Robyn Carr does it, but she gets better every time. This one also has an intriguing element between Cooper and Sarah from the start. It's well developed in the beginning, preparing us to get a good picture of what Thunder Point is all about and its characters. I tell you when I got to the last page, I was so sad to see it end, but at the same time I was so happy and eager to read the next one! You will definitely be hooked! This one is going on my Re-read list, it's that good. I think I'll go listen to it again... ;) I give it a 4.5
