Carr fills her seventh visit to Thunder Point (after The Homecoming) with a charming cast of characters and a tender love story. Grace Dillon—formerly known as champion ice skater Izzy Banks—moves to the small Oregon town and buys a small flower shop, hoping to escape the overwhelming pressures of the competitive skating world. High school teacher Troy Headly is getting over a long relationship and looking for some lighthearted fun, so he offers a no-strings-attached relationship to the too-serious florist. Things heat up quickly when the two realize that they feel far more for each other than mere friendship. But after Grace’s estranged mother returns to town with a bombshell revelation, their relationship might be nipped in the bud. Carr neatly weaves in glimpses of the happily-ever-afters from previous books in the series, which will please longtime readers. This is a solid smalltown romance with heart.

Done with the pressure, fame, and dangers of competitive figure skating, gold medalist Izzy Banks (nee Isabella Grace Dillon Banks) defies her controlling mother and drops out of sight, eventually building a thriving flower business and new life for herself in Thunder Point, OR, as Grace Dillon. She's even found a new romantic relationship with high school teacher Troy Headly that might become serious. Then Grace's past surfaces, turning her life upside down and forcing Troy to come to terms with his feelings. Although the focus here is on Grace and Troy, familiar characters continue their stories in the background, while a few new folks make an appearance as fans keep up with the town's doings. VERDICT Best friends-turned-lovers sort out their feelings and meet the future head-on in an insightful, multilayered story that is laced with laughter and tears and is a wonderful addition to Carr's engaging series. Each story is complete in itself, but new readers may wish to start at the beginning with The Wanderer. Best-selling author Carr (The Homecoming) lives in Henderson, NV.
