Thunder Point Collection Volume 1
Welcome to Thunder Point! Discover the warmth and humor of this fan-favorite series from
New York Times
bestselling author Robyn Carr, in a box set containing the first three stories. A small town on the Oregon coast is home to kind people who are ready to open their arms to newcomers, and their hearts to love.
The Wanderer
When Thunder Point 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. 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.
The Newcomer
Single dad and Thunder Point’s deputy sheriff “Mac” McCain has worked hard to keep his town safe and his daughter happy. Now he’s found his own happiness with Gina James. But when Mac’s long-lost ex-wife shows up in town, drama takes on a whole new meaning. Mac and Gina know they’re meant to be together, but can their newfound love withstand the pressure?
The Hero
In a moment of desperation, Devon McAllister takes her daughter and escapes to Thunder Point, a place she hopes to be invisible, a place she’s pretty certain can’t be worse than what they’ve left behind. But as the widowed father of a vulnerable young boy, Spencer Lawson knows something about needing friendship…and is just the kind of man who could heal Devon’s wounded heart.

Great three stories
First Cooper comes from Virgin River to find out why his friend dies. He Ends up taking on a dilapidated bait shop and bar renovation because his dead friend left it all to him in his will. He makes friends with a crusty old Vet who doesn’t talk much a young man who is being bullied and the local county deputy. All while dreaming over the fiery coast guard helicopter pilot that just happens to also be the young mans guardian.
Then we go into the stories of all the good Ben, Coopers friend did for this town and Cooper ends his wandering because of a beach , a view and a town.
The next books touch on teenage devastation when a boy cheats, dumps and new girl friend cyber bullies. how a single mom Gina copes to help her teen. The man she has loved for four years doesn’t want ore than a friendship. The man she loves Mac, is a single father of three the town deputy with his aunt Lou living with him to help raise his children the last ten years because their mother just walked out.
The third story deals with Sarah and Cooper’s adjust meant to Austin. Cooper’s 10 yr old son and his father Spencer moving to town. The crusty Vet Rawly bring his young distant cousin to town Devon and her little girl Mercy. Saving Mercy and Devon from a lunatic who runs a commune like his personal harem, which is where Devon had initially escaped from when Rawly to her in.
The books each evolve from the previous story and have a life of their own. Great set and looking forward to reading the next set.

January 14, 2026I fell in love with this book series, which I listen to on audiobook when ever I have a chance, is a delight.
The characters of the town of Thunder Point are revealed one book at a time and woven into the story appearing in each subsequent novel, truly bring the town to life. A town I wouldn't mind living in.
This is not just about romance but rather love, heartbreak, past events, joys and trials of small town life ... And just the right amount of surprises to keep you hooked.
I'm already eying the other series Ms. Carr has written ...mmm 😃

I loved these three books, all of them. Always hated when one ended so was glad to have the series. They had enough villains to make it interesting and not too sugary sweet, but enough romance to suit me.

It was a romantic break from the books I usually read. I would recommend.

A classic feel-good Robin Carr reading. Nothing new here. A warmed up Virgin River. But still does us good

books connect reader to the characters
The characters are well developed and dialogue often uses humor. Characters lives are intertwined well with new people being introduced.

I just read the first three books in this series, following my complete enjoyment of reading many books in the Virgin River series. Sadly the two series are like chalk and cheese.
The Thunder Point books each have a massive cast of characters with individual story lines running simultaneously. It's very busy and scattered, and is akin to reading a soap opera. In writing this way, you sacrifice that wonderful deep connection for the "so called" main characters. The synopsis for each book really didn't have any bearing on each book at all. The plots blended and just ran on from book to book.
I also didn't appreciated great chunks of the story being devoted to teen romance - I stopped reading that genre a couple of decades ago, but like a TV soap, these books cover everyone's lives. If that's what floats your boat, then you'll love the series, but I grew weary of it halfway through the second book. The third book was pretty intolerable, with even more random characters and their superficial backgrounds being constantly tossed into the mix. Add to that an arrogant and boorish male lead who virtually forced himself on his female counterpart, then dumped her in the next instant, and I was done. Back to Virgin River I go!

THUNDER POINT BOOKS 1-3
This is a wonderful series, the first three books were great. I plan on reading the other six soon. Would recommend, the characters feel like friends- and the town a place I would love.

Where everybody knows your name
Robyn Carr has her own unique style, and with it, the reader is transported to Thunder Point, a town everyone would want to live. I read this as part of an anthology, and in reading all three, you become embroiled in the lives of the townsfolk.

Another great series by Robyn Carr
Such an awesome series. Great characters, heartwarming storylines filled with true to life romances. If you've read Virgin River you'll definitely love this series as well.

This is a great series. Better than Debbie Macomber. I have read all these. There are at least 9 or 10 of them by now.
