From Booklist
Carr (The Hero, 2013) returns to Thunder Point with the story of Eric Gentry, the ex-con who moved to town to be a father to his 17-year-old daughter, Ashley, whom he only recently discovered. He now owns Lucky’s, the gas station, and is building up his business restoring classic cars. Laine Carrington, the FBI agent who was shot while taking down a commune compound, is on leave. She’s moved to Thunder Point to recuperate far from her disapproving physician father. The two newcomers are powerfully drawn to each other. Meanwhile, one of Eric’s former employees, Al, shows up and befriends Justin Russell, 17, who is working at Lucky’s and hiding a big secret. Ray Anne, the sexy senior real estate agent, finds romance, while readers will recognize many of the good folks in Carr’s small Oregon town from previous titles in the series as they make cameo appearances. Everything in Carr’s tried-and-true formula rings true in this emotionally satisfying story. Responsible, self-sufficient, independent adults discover love; smart, responsible teens take on big challenges; and friends come through for each other. --Diana Tixier Herald
