The Promise

June 15, 2014

Swearing off egocentric men, especially those with children, physician's assistant Peyton Lacoumette leaves behind in Portland a top job and a ruined relationship and heads down the Oregon coast to recharge and make plans--plans that definitely don't include falling for an attractive, hardworking doctor in a tiny fishing village off the beaten track. But down-to-earth, welcoming Thunder Point and single dad Scott Grant are exactly what Peyton needs--if only she can put the past in perspective and realize that all single dads and doctors are not the same. An unexpected relationship budding between an unlikely pair of seniors and a welcome assortment of characters continuing their intertwined stories will keep fans smiling at this sweetly sexy, family-centered story that is made all the richer for the colorful details of the heroine's Basque heritage. VERDICT Warm, realistic, and satisfying, this latest addition to Carr's "Thunder Point" repertoire delivers on all counts and leaves fans waiting for the next installment. Although this story stands on its own, the series will be more enjoyable if read from the beginning. Carr (The Chance) lives in the Las Vegas area.
