Coopers a bit of a wanderer. He has been told he has commitment issues and he just cant seem to stay in one place for long. When his Army buddy, Ben, dies he doesnt find out until weeks later. After receiving a call that Ben has passed away and that he has been left something Cooper packs up his mobile life and heads to Thunder Point. When he gets there he finds Ben has a breathtaking view and enviable land but the buildings are run down. What was supposed to be a quick trip suddenly gets extended.
Flying helicopters, raising her teenaged brother, and nursing a broken heart has left Sarah a little lonely and a whole lot guarded. But there is just something about the newbie to town she likes and the kindness he shows to her kid brother isnt it.
Cooper and Sarah werent really at the forefront of this book. In fact, the two characters dont even meet until page 171. Up until that point Cooper and her nephew, Cooper and the town deputy have the major conversations and relationships. There is an introduction to the town, the people and a real getting to know everyone and the place in the first half of the book before our two main characters collide. Usually I would have been foaming at the mouth for the connection, but I enjoyed the meet and greet with Thunder Point and all that was going on so much, I almost forgot a romance was supposed to happen.
I love Robyn Carr and her Virgin River Series, so naturally I couldnt wait to read this and couldnt help but compare. I thought and was a little worried we were going to get Virgin River the Sequel and I am happy to report we are not. Sure the characters in both series are awesome and the books just make you feel good, but it read like its own entity. Its not a carbon copy but an entirely different series, town and characters with the impossible to put down writing style that I have come to know. Bravo!
This was an excellent start to a new series I am looking forward to more characters and discoveries!
