LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

i am absolutely in love with the Thunder Point series and all of it's characters. I am so glad there are several books in this series. I love the continuation of the story and how each new character is introduced to old characters. But my favorite character of all is Raleigh.

one of my favorites of the series so far.

I loved this one. After Virgin River books I had a hard time getting into this series. But this one had everything in it , romance, danger, redemption. Plus a happy ending. Luke from virgin river should have been invited to the wedding.

Love the story and the narrator

Love the continuous story of the small town community. The narrator is one of the best I’ve listened to. And I love Robyn Carr’a stories.

Robyn Carr continues to Awe inspire me.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hero to be better than the print version?

with audio you get the emotions that come with closing your eyes and seeing it played out. Sometimes I just love to read, and others, I just love to listen and put myself right inside the book.

What other book might you compare The Hero to and why?

Robyn has a way of writing the Thunder Point series like her Virgin River series. But I got to say, I dearly love Thunder Point with each book she writes this series gets better.

What about Therese Plummer’s performance did you like?

Ms. Plummer is one of my two fav's when listening to books. As a female. She can do all the voices and you have no problem of understand who she is while talking. She is Amazing and I dearly love to listen her.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, I did, laugh and cry. I think so far is my fav of the books in the Thunder Point series.

Any additional comments?

First let me say this. This is not erotica. I started out reading Robyn Carr's books years ago. Of course it's still a little hard to go back to just fiction book, expect when it's Robyn's Thunder Point series. You have suspense, drama, clean romance, all the sweetness of dear friends that look after one another. I dearly love her books. . But with this book, I didn't leave it all day. Yep, never let go. And it's like that with her books. This book starts out dark, unsure of what is to come. If you want to read this book, I suggest you please read her other Thunder Point books. The Wanderer, The Newcomer, and The Hero. this one I just read. They will make more sense of understanding the closeness of this small Oregon town. A town that adores the beaches and each other and how they let no one down when they need a helping hand. It's hard to see the suffering in this one, but I had to remember when they are at and what they are all going to do for this girl that find her way to Thunder Point. Best thing that ever happens to her. It's a town I would love to live in. In the Hero, it's not who you suspect, as the Hero, you figure it out in the last 45 minutes of this book. Someone who is at ease with everything rears his head and takes over to protect what he feels is an unjust thing that is going on near his town. And it was. I cannot tell you, if you want a warm and fuzzy book to love and where can fall in love will all of them. This Book is for you..The entire series is. I could not wait for this one to arrive and once I did, I got everything done early and late so I could have it all to myself. I don't do that but with a couple of my books. This series is one of them. The town of Thunder Point has some of the best stories to tel. Join them and start with the first and book, and it your in a mind to, read them all. I love my Romance/ Erotica Books, no doubt, and can't wait to find the next one. but when this hit the stands, it clears my head and reminds me that sometimes we just need to pay it forward.

Good story if a little predictable

Story & Narrator were both good. Theykept my interest.
There were long pauses between chapters that made me think something was wrong with my device or the connection.

Great series

I previously read this book and the entire series. I love the series and the audio version doesn’t disappoint. Therese Plummer always does a great job and she was her usual talented self on this audio book. It makes me want to listen to the entire series so I had to give it five stars. I appreciate the way they aren’t true cliffhangers, but they do overlap stories from book to book. No overly graphic sex scenes, but lots of romance.
