Sunrise Point is a nice romance. The emotions are believable but there is little sizzle or heat. The two main characters, Tom and Nora, are normal with everyday problems; Robyn Carr does a great job in keeping things realistic and consistent - e.g., Nora sticks to her principles and doesn't suddenly change when she gets around Tom. However, if you're reading the Virgin River series in sequence, you'll notice that this book's plot (single mom with two small children meets and falls for man who's not interested in someone with 'baggage', Robyn Carr's word, not mine....) is very similar to the previous book (Redwood Bend). There are a few differences (e.g., Katie (RB) has two boys who are older than Nora's two girls) but there are too many similarities and it feels like a formula pushed out to meet a deadline.

Also, it's a little choppy - a character (Cooper) is added in the middle of the book and he has no relationship to or scenes with the primary characters (Tom & Nora) except that they are in the same small town. He's introduced as a guest of Lucas's, who also doesn't have any scenes with Tom or Nora. As any experienced romance reader will know, this must be Ms. Carr introducing the Hero for the next book. While this is common, it's done very choppily here and I found myself skipping over this section of the book because it had nothing to do with the H/h or plot of this one. Again, this felt poorly thought out and executed, it was as if the author realized she needed to set up the next story and was in a rush to meet a deadline. A little more finesse, and the sections on Coop and Lucas would have made much more sense.

This was the second Robyn Carr book I've read - I don't recommend it as a first read. I started with Katie and Dylan's romance in Redwood Bend and thought I was hooked on a new author (for me, at least). Now, I'm not so sure. I liked Tom & Nora's story but am not sure I want to invest more time in another Virgin River story only to have it not live up to its potential.

Sunrise Point Virgin River Robyn Carr 9780778313175 Books Reviews

Coming back to Virgin River via the 19th book in the series, Sunrise Point, was like coming home. It's almost like the opening theme of Cheers - where everybody knows your name (and your business). Nora Crane has had a very tough life and ended up dumped unceremoniously in Virgin River by her scumbag ex. She must figure out a way to make a living for herself and her two young daughters, Berry and Fay. Enter a seasonal job at Cavanaugh's apple orchard. Nora's never picked apples in her life, but she's willing to work hard. At first she's turned away, but Maxie Cavanaugh hires her on when her grandson Tom wouldn't. At the same time, Nora's past is catching up with her...

I read Sunrise Point in essentially one sitting. I love the characters and the genteel charm of Virgin River. Nora reminds me a lot of someone very close to me and I admire her strength of character and her determination. I absolutely hated Darla, the widow of a Marine buddy of Tom's. She was just not what Tom or anyone in Virgin River needed. Sunrise Point is a delicate and delectable romance, filled with great characters in a wonderful town. I sometimes wish I lived in a place like Virgin River. It just goes to show - what you think you want is not always what you truly need.

This was a good story about Tom & Nora. Not one of the best in the Virgin River series. I do agree with one of the reviewers that it did get kinda boring at times. It was a lot about Nora's past and her dysfunctional mother & childhood. A lot of thinking back & bringing up unhappy memories, yet there was very little about Tom's childhood after he was abandoned by his mom or anything to do with him as a marine. I would have loved to read some background about him as a marine on his tours. There wasn't much romance between Nora and Tom, he kept trying to fight his feelings and try to fall in love with another girl who was extremely annoying that I can't even remember her name. There wasn't even kissing until middle to end and not much romance until the very end.

There was not much with the town at all. A little with Noah helping Nora in the beginning but not much. There was a side story with Luke's army buddy Hank that was also boring and just didn't fit into the story right. If he has a book coming out next I am not going to be jumping to read the day its released.

All & all it was an okay book. More than an emotional journey for Nora than a romance. There was really no drama and little action except for a couple of bears. I normally have read my past Virgin River series books over again when I need a good book to read(I love the Riodian family) but I don't think I will be able to reread this one.
As with most series, character development is crucial. These were some of my favorites, especially since Nora had been introduced in an earlier book. I loved Tom's grandmother's spunky attitude, she made me LOL several times. The country house on the orchard was an inviting setting too. Less sex, but more substance. Sometimes the chase or trying to avoid the chase is more entertaining.
