And Sarah is up for a reassignment in the Coast Guard that will complicate things for the brother she is raising. Carr dramatizes and deepens her theme good people caring for each other as she continuesher thoughtful, well-plotted series with its compelling characters discovering, often the hard way, what family and community mean.--Tixier Herald, Diana Copyright 2010 Booklist

Library Journal Review

Single dad "Mac" McCain, Thunder Point's deputy sheriff, and Gina James are friends who are slowly giving in to the romance growing between them. But when Mac's ex comes back to town, everyone is in for some surprises. Consistent volume, change notices, and thought repetition at the beginning of each disc complement Therese Plummer's clear, nicely paced speech despite Plummer's straining with male voices and overly long pauses between chapters. -VERDICT This title will be of interest to Carr's fans and romance readers. ["With her trademark mixture of humor, realistic conflict, and razor-sharp insights, Carr brings Thunder Point to vivid life, reprising familiar characters, introducing some engaging new ones, and delivering a spot-on combination of romance and women's fiction that will appeal to fans of 'community builders' such as Susan Wiggs and Jill Shalvis," read the review of the Mira: Harlequin pb, LJ 6/15/13.].-Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty.
