The people who live at Thunder Point are just ordinary everyday people with problems just like you and me. They all smile and say g’day, and they all know each other’s business, but when there’s trouble they all roll up their sleeves and join in to help. Spencer has just moved her after the death of his wife from cancer; he is the new football coach. He and his son are looking for a fresh start after all the trauma of the past few years. Devon and her young daughter have fled from a commune called ‘The Fellowship’ run by the increasingly obsessive and manipulative Jacob who has bedded all the women and is the father to all of the children and is on the run from the government. She is essentially a ‘sister-wife’ complete with one long braid and dowdy clothing. Devon escapes with the assistance of one of the other women. With the help of the gruff and silent Rawley, an old Vietnam veteran, she finds a new home, a new job and a fresh start; she also meets Spencer. Trouble is the fellowship is not done with her and when lives are on the line a Hero steps forward to help – well a few of them really but the one she loves is the least likely hero. I loved how during the story Devon grew as a character from a woman who jumps at shadows and is scared of being found, to a confident kick-arse amazon who fights alongside the men at the showdown.
A lovely, feel-good romance.
I could tell there had been previous books in this s series, but I didn't feel I missed anything in this story by not having read them.
