Grace Dillon used to be a world famous figure skater. She turned her back on all of that when she turned twenty-three and settled down in Thunder Point. She runs the flower shop in town and no one knows who she used to be except for Jake who owns the ice skating rink. He lets Grace skate before the rink opens and she pays him for it as long as he doesn't give her secret away. Grace just wants to be unrecognized and be normal like everyone else.
ONE WISH is the story of how Grace gets a fun coach. Troy, a teacher at the high school thinks Grace works too much and decides he is going to put some fun into her life. He takes her out to do different things, things she would never try on her own. Grace and Troy come to an agreement that they will just be friends, no commitment, no strings. Well, you can only imagine how this is going to work it right? The scene where Troy is standing on a cliff and a rogue wave nails him, leads to some of the funniest reading I have done in a long time! I felt like I was right there, giggling away with Grace when she comes out of the souvenir who and sees the police officer!
Troy has been chasing after Iris for a long time. Iris is the guidance counselor at the high school and one of Grace's closest friends. So Grace knows it's friends and nothing else with him. She thinks Troy's cute but still hung up on Iris, but Iris is married now (to town deputy Seth) and Troy's starting to realize that it's not healthy to pine for Iris. He's now looking at Grace in a new light. And he likes what he sees. But he knows Grace is hiding something about herself, but what is it? When he finds out, will he be able to deal with it? Will both of them be able to get past it?
I've always loved reading Robyn Carr's novels and ONE WISH is the perfect way to spend the day. Just me, a big cup of coffee, and my couch, visiting my old friends in Thunder Point. It was great catching up with the other residents from previous Thunder Point books. Robyn Carr is an awesome storyteller and I have loved every one of her books that I have read. Thunder Point always makes me feel like I'm back home and catching up with friends.
Book Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr
delivers
another smart, funny, emotional novel about the
complexities
of life in the small Oregon town of Thunder
Point
Grace Dillon was a champion
figure skater until she moved to Thunder Point to escape
the
ruthless world of fame and competition. And though she's
proud of the quiet, self-sufficient life she's created
running a successful flower shop, she knows something is
missing. Her life could use a little
excitement.
In a community where there are
few
eligible singles, high school teacher Troy Headly appoints
himself Grace's fun coach. When he suggests a little
companionship with no strings attached, Grace is eager to
take him up on his offer, and the two enjoy…getting to
know
each other.
But things get complicated when
Grace's past catches up with her, and she knows that's not
what Troy signed up for. Faced with losing her, Troy
realizes Grace is more than just a friend with benefits.
He's determined to help her fight for the life she always
wished for but never believed she could have—and maybe
they
can find real love along the way.
