Following the SIDS death of her baby Josh and the subsequent
collapse of her marriage, grieving Ginger Dysart heeds her father’s admonition
to move to Thunder Point, Oregon. There
her second cousin Ray Anne gives Ginger a room and obtains for her a job at
Grace’s Florist.
At a Basque wedding between Scott Grant and Peyton Lacoumette, the
intoxicated brother of the bride Matt hits on Ginger even after she says she
wants to be left alone. When he grabs
her boob, she punches the drunken professor.
After he sobers up, appalled Matt Lacoumette apologizes to Ginger for
his ghastly behavior. As they become
friends; he wants more from their relationship, while she still mourns her loss
and fears he still desires his former spouse.
The eighth Thunder Point Oregonian romance (see One Wish, The
Homecoming and The Promise) focuses on two wounded warriors whose respective
pasts hamper their future. Though Matt’s marriage breakup details feel forced into the plot, series fans will relish
this terrific entry; character-driven by the leads and a deep secondary bench.
