Scott Grant has a bustling family practice in the small Oregon community of Thunder Point. The town and its people have embraced the widowed doctor and father of two, his children are thriving, and Scott knows it's time to move on from his loss. But as the town's only doctor, the dating pool is limited. That is, until a stunning physician's assistant applies for a job at his clinic. Peyton Lacoumette considers herself entirely out of the dating scene. She's already been burned by a man with kids, and she's come to Thunder Point determined not to repeat past mistakes. When Scott offers her a job, at a much lower salary than she's used to, Peyton is surprisingly eager to accept, at least for now. She's willing to stay for a three month trial period while she explores other options. Scott and Peyton know the arrangement is temporary, it isn't enough time to build a real relationship, never mind anything with lasting commitment. But love can blossom faster than you think when the timing is right, and this short visit just might hold the promise of forever.… (more)

rabck from mdm139; Widowed doc, Scott Grant moves to town with his two young kids. He's not adverse to romance, but has found the right one yet. Enter Peyton, a PA running from a bad relationship with her old boss, a cardiologist, and the last thing she wants is romance. She only wants a 3 month job to figure out what next. ( )

I was gifted three different Thunder Point novels and thought I'd gotten them in the correct order, but now I see that this is book 5. I don't know what the others are since the numbers aren't anywhere on the books that I could find. It does explain why I felt like there was such a large cast of characters that I couldn't keep track of who was who and who was related to who and how.

I liked the story but wish it could have been told without the sex scenes. I was a bit surprised that Peyton would sleep with someone she wasn't serious about, especially coming off of her relationship with Ted.

Thunder Point seems like a great little town. One where the residents care about each other and try to help each other out. Of course, this also means that it's easy for everyone to know other's business--the not so nice part of small town living if you want privacy.

I think I related to Peyton's character because of a past experience with a guy I hoped would become a boyfriend. We were friends, but I later found out that he was hiding seeing someone else while using me to fund his business deals. Sort of keeping my hopes that he'd love me alive to use my resources to get what he wanted for himself. I felt that Ted's relationship with Peyton was sort of that way. I can also relate to how something like that changes a person, so I could see why Peyton was a bit leery at first when a new relationship comes up. ( )

Dr. Scott finds Peyton ( )

Finally Dr. Scott finds that woman that is truly meant for him! This is another great installment in the Thunderpoint series and it's a great one. I love Payton as an addition to this great group of characters. Put this one on the must read list. I recommend this one and the entire series. ( )
