  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2015
    Having read the reviews on this novel I was pleasantly surprised. The first few chapters introduce the reader to the small town of Thunder Point and some of the inhabitants and all the while getting to know more about Cooper and how this changes him as a person, he stops moving on. The town and residents ground him. A likeable and friendly man he soon makes friends and looks into the death of his friend. Restoring the bar with the help of Rowley, in the process he befriends Landon who is being bullied. Sarah confronts Cooper about the involvement with her brother, bring them together and soon dating. Ben's death was not the accident everyone thought, a killer is found. Cooper and Sarah's romance is endearing healing old wounds. The novel flows at a good pace, a suspenseful novel that captivates the reader. Enjoy.

    I love books that follow on in a series so when I found these I purchased this first book, I was a little unsure at first whether I would enjoy them but I soon got hooked on the story line
    This book is similar to reading Debbie macomber books, the character are very real, easy reading, not too heavy
    I can't wait to start book 2, which I have already purchased and pleased to see that there still some of the same characters in the book

    This whole series is one of my favourite rereads. I read the entire series regularly. Robyn has created the perfect hero and heroine and a whole host of wonderful characters that make up the town of Thunder point. Just in case it’s not clear I absolutely love this series.

    I dived into this book and from the first page I was transported from a damp grey English Winter, to the beautiful Oregon coastline. Robyn makes you feel the wind in your face,the smell of the pine forests and gasp at the views in her vivid descriptions. I can't wait to start on Book 2.

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2019
    Soooooo, this was recommended to me as a good read. I really tried but it was not a good anything. Firstly, it is seriously American. I have been many times and read many American novels but the references and abbreviations went right over my head. Secondly, the plot makes no sense. It is a bit like one of those 70s detective shows where in the last second the detective remembers sonething from his college days that unmasks the murderer. Thirdly, the steamy sex, it is awful. Guy wanders, has no girlfriend, meets hot chick, suddenly they have sex and hey, he just happens to have a condom in his back pocket, as you do. The women are fiesty and "strong", the guys are hotties, well meaning but you know, nice but dim?
    A tale of small town Oregon? I drove through these small towns. They are dying on their feet, desperate for any tourist dollar. Thunder Point has no pot shops, no strip malls and so sense of reality. But hey, it has shops run by locals and pure kids who neither drink nor do drugs.
    I know it is supposed to be safe escapism, but it niggled me to death.

    Reviewed in Germany on 18 June 2015
    Dies ist eine Serie von mehreren Büchern
    Sehr oft handeln solche von einer Person und einem happy end, dann im nächsten wird der Bruder oder die Schwester happy ge- ended usw
    Hier ist es anders, die Hauptperson ist gewissermassen der Ort Thunder Point.
    Natürlich gibt es in jedem Band Helden und Schicksale werden erlebt, glücklich oder nicht, spannend auf jeden Fall.
    Es passiert schon auch etwas Gewalt, aber nicht "blutrünstig".
    Sehr angenehm zu lesen und immer eine kleine Überraschung

    If I have a hard time getting into a book, it can take me weeks to finish reading it. I read this book at bedtime in about 4 night. I love Robyn Carr’s books.
    The Virgin River series was awesome & I believe The Thunder Point series will be the same. Now onto Book 2
