Contemporary Romance
From Goodreads:
Starting
over is never easy, but in Thunder Point, where newcomers are welcome and
friends become family, it's possible to find yourself again. In this brand-new
story, #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr takes us on a
moving and rewarding journey as a young woman finds new hope.
After
losing her child, Ginger Dysart was lost in grief. But since moving to Thunder
Point, a small town on the Oregon coast, and with the help of her cousin Ray
Anne, Ginger is finally moving forward. Her job at the flower shop is peaceful
and fulfilling, and she's excited to start her first big assignment, assisting
with the Lacoumette wedding.
In spite
of her lasting heartache, Ginger finds herself swept up in the pleasure of the
occasion. But the beauty of the Lacoumette farm and the joy of the gregarious
family are ruined by an unfortunate encounter with the bride's brother, Matt.
Struggling with painful memories of his own recent divorce, Matt makes a
drunken spectacle of himself and Ginger when he tries to make a pass at her,
forcing Ginger to flee the scene in embarrassment.
But when Matt shows up at the
flower shop determined to make amends, what started out as a humiliating first
meeting blossoms into something much deeper than either of them expected. Discovering
they have a lot in common, they form a solid friendship, though everyone around
them worries that Ginger will end up with a broken heart yet again. But if
Ginger has the courage to embrace the future, and if Matt can finally learn to
let go of the past, there may still be hope for a happy ending.
Both Ginger Dysart and Matt
Lacumette are characters from One Wish, the previous book in the Thunder Point
series. Both have suffered a severe
event in their lives that has left them injured. We do know what happened to Ginger and I could guess what happened
to Matt long before he told Ginger what was causing his pain.
I loved both characters. After a very long period of depression
Ginger is working hard to start a new life. Matt starts out as a real looser but quickly turns a page as
he and Ginger become friends. Carr
has the nack of creating really wonderful settings and characters and in A New
Hope she has done it again. The
problems and tension in the story seem so real and just drew me in. There is a side story and a new very
interesting character whose problems are left hanging. I am hoping that is the hook for the
next book in the series.
A New Hope is a very good addition
to the series. As always we do get
to see some of the characters from previous books but the further from their
stories we get the less we see of them.
That is always a disappointment.
The stories and characters seem so real that I always want to know how
everyone from previous books are getting along.
Mira published A New Hope by Robyn
Carr in 2015.
I received an ARC of A New Hope
from Netgalley in return for an honest review.
