The Wanderer Thunder Point #1, by Robyn Carr

Nestled on the Oregon coast is a small town of rocky beaches and rugged charm. Locals love the land's unspoiled beauty. Developers see it as a potential gold mine. When newcomer Hank Cooper learns he's been left an old friend's entire beachfront property, he finds himself with a community's destiny in his hands.

Cooper has never been a man to settle in one place, and Thunder Point was supposed to be just another quick stop. But Cooper finds himself getting involved with the town. And with Sarah Dupre, a woman as complicated as she is beautiful.

With the whole town watching for his next move, Cooper has to choose between his old life and a place full of new possibilities. A place that just might be home.

:(
Well, I will have to buy it audible.
I am discovering some of these Contemporary Romances are better on audio, and some are better read.
Kristen Ashley is better read!

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments There are books that if I read them I end up skipping a paragraph here and there . I try to listen to those . I don't have that problem with Robyn Carr books. I prefer listening to Lindsay Sands and books in 1st POV !

Did you finish Masked by Moonlight (Moonlight, #1) by Nancy Gideon ?

Gonna agree with ShoSho here and say I'd like to see a 3 day breakdown, simply because I've got a lot still to read this month and I'm going to be pacing myself with this book rather than read it all in one day like I would normally do.
