      I loved this series! Sad it's over, enjoyed every book.
    • 4/5
      For being the last book in the series, I was a little disappointed by the ending. I loved the series, though. I wish there were more. Maybe highlighting Landon's or Ashley's stories. Also, we never get to see the continuation of Winnie's story.
    • 3/5
      Wildest Dreams, Robyn Carr's latest stop in Thunder Point, pairs up Blake Smiley and Lin Su Simmons, both of whom were introduced in an earlier book in the series. The languorous romance between the hardworking single mom and the champion triathlete is sweet but it is teenage Charlie who manages to steal readers' hearts.

      Lin Su is working as a home health care nurse and she meets Blake when he moves in next door to her patient Winnie Banks. Lin Su's fourteen year old son Charlie is immediately enthralled with him but her first few encounters with Blake are adversarial. She is extremely overprotective of Charlie due to his asthma and weakened immune system and although he is doing much better, she refuses to let the poor boy spread his wings. Lin Su is great with Winnie but in her personal life, she is secretive, inflexible and judgmental. She is also extremely proud and getting her to accept help from anyone is next to impossible. Quite frankly, Lin Su is frustrating, stubborn and almost impossible to like for much of the story.

      Blake is a dedicated athlete but he knows his career is beginning to wind down and buying a house is just the first step for the next stage in his life. He has come a long way from his very humble childhood and he is committed to helping other underprivileged youths. He is a genuinely caring and compassionate man who might have overstepped with Charlie initially, but to be fair, Charlie was not exactly forthcoming about his health issues. Blake is pretty unflappable and while he understands Lin Su's concerns, he presents a calm and well thought out rebuttal to her somewhat irrational fears for Charlie's health.

      Charlie is a super smart kid who has a good head on his shoulders. He is aware of his limitations but he is also ready to be an active participant in his life. He is also incredibly curious about his family but Lin Su flat out refuses to discuss her past with him. When his curiosity gets the better of him, Charlie takes matters into his own hands but he is ill prepared for his mother's response to the information he uncovers.

      The storyline of Wildest Dreams is interesting and unique but it is very slow paced. The triathlon aspect is well researched but these details sometimes overwhelm the rest of the story. There are multiple mentions of characters from previous installments of the Thunder Point series and while it is nice to catch up with them, these peeks are a bit of a distraction from the main storyline.

      The relationship between Lin Su and Blake builds at a leisurely pace but their romance does not develop until nearly the end of the novel. Once Lin Su begins dating Blake, she begins to soften somewhat but she still remains tightlipped about her past. Things are going smoothly between the couple until Charlie's revelations and in the aftermath, Lin Su is quick to end things with Blake. The resolution of these issues occurs in an unexpected but realistic fashion and Robyn Carr wraps up Wildest Dreams with a heartwarming epilogue that is sure to delight readers.
    • 3/5
      Last in the Thunder Point series. Blake found the perfect place to call home in one of Cooper's houses overlooking the bay. But his new neighbors, particularly Lin Su & her son Charlie, are proving to be a distraction. And the town drags him into the small town world.
    • 3/5
      No awards for style, but a good story. Lin sue has a lot of baggage, her adoptive family turned her out when she got pregnant, but she now has a great 14-year-old son, a great job as a private duty nurse, and then there is the hunk ironman living next door.
