Purchase: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.
The Wanderer is the first book I have ever read from Robyn Carr. I know what you are thinking, Lil you love Romance and Carr is at the top of her field how have you not read her?!? I don’t know! And I’m regretting waiting so long. The Wanderer is a fantastic read! The best part is, is it’s just the beginning. The Wanderer is the first book in Carr’s new series set in a small coastal Oregon town, Thunder Point.
Coop is our first hero and he’s former military. I love Coop! I actually loved all the male leads in this book. Carr really knows how to write men that are easy to fall for. Carr obviously has a knack for setting up a series and introducing the reader to a set of characters without overloading them with info. I don’t have the best memory so when a writer is able to not only draw me into the story but weeks later remembering that story? Yeah job well done.
I wasn’t as crazy about the women in the beginning of the story but I think that had more to do with the fact that our main couple don’t meet until midway through the book. At the time I remember thinking, how is Carr going to convince me these two fall in love in such a short amount of pages? Well she did convince me… hook, line, and sinker. I think the biggest reason I was convinced was because she got me so invested in Sarah and Coop’s lives I was happy dancing when they finally fell for each other!
This book left me feeling good about taking the time to read it. I read so many books and so many of them will never find their way into a review let alone a permanent spot on my very crowded bookshelves but I have a feeling several of Robyn Carr’s books will be crammed in there by the end of this year. I suggest if you love Contemporary Romance than to add Robyn Carr to your TBR!
