Though Cal and Maggie each struggle with loss and loneliness, the time they spend together gives Maggie hope for something brighter just on the horizon
if only they can learn to find peace and healingand perhaps lovewith each other.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Carr takes a break from her Thunder Point series to explore the mountains of Colorado in this contemporary, which is filled with set pieces that ring true but largely fail to excite. Talented neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan, reeling from personal and professional setbacks most notably a wrongful death lawsuit and a miscarriage retreats to her father's home, a campground called Sullivan's Crossing. She meets Cal Jones, who came to the Crossing with his own issues to sort out, and immediately finds him suspicious. When Maggie's father suffers a heart attack, Maggie commits to caring for him, and she and Cal grow close as they both try to determine how to be their best selves. For all that readers learn about Maggie and Cal, they still feel underdeveloped as characters, and though there are moments of commotion, including medical crises to a young woman's abduction, they serve more as opportunities for Maggie to demonstrate her capabilities than anything else. The plodding pace eventually overpowers the pleasant setting and spicy-sweet romance.
Customer Reviews
Great summer read!
This is the first book I read by Robyn Carr. I loved it so much I read it all in one day. It's a story of 2 people that are lost and find themselves and each other in the process of attempting to rediscover themselves. It's a friendly reminder that even during our darkest times we can find exactly what we have longed for, even when we don't know what that is. Life is a continuous path of rediscovery and growing into a better version of ourselves.
Another home run for Robyn Carr
Once I started, I couldn't put it down. Robyn does a wonderful job of exploring the diverse and challenging lives of Maggie and Cal, and their friends and family. She has also made me long to visit the small towns of Colorado. I see a summer trip in my future.
Mediocre
I wanted to just love this novel but I couldn't. It was a little boring to me and took me longer than normal to finish due to lack of interest.
