In the Dragon’s Eye is where I share the books I’ve got my acquisitive eye on: the ones I’m really excited about and hope to read and perhaps add to the hoard. I also link to “Waiting On” Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Cover links take you to Goodreads; all blurbs are also from Goodreads.
I’ve been enjoying the Thunder Point series and I’m looking forward to the sixth installment. (Watch for a review on release day, Aug. 26!)
In a small town, reputation is everything. In her latest novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr explores the burden placed on a young man returning home to face his mistakes—the first step in claiming the life he was meant to live …At the age of nineteen, Seth Sileski had everything. A superb athlete and scholar, handsome and popular, he was the pride of Thunder Point. Destined for greatness, he lost it all in a terrible accident that put an end to his professional football career when it had barely begun. The people in his hometown have never forgotten what might have been.
Seth has come to terms with the turns his life has taken. But now he’s been presented with an opportunity to return home and show his father—and the people of Thunder Point—he’s become a better, humbler version of his former self.
Winning over his father isn’t the only challenge. Seth must also find a way to convince his childhood neighbor and best friend, Iris McKinley, to forgive him for breaking her heart. With his homecoming, will Seth be able to convince the town, his family and especially Iris that he’s finally ready to be the man who will make them all proud?

Sounds like a good book. Just not something I usually read. My WoW this week is Carl Hiaasen’s first YA novel.

I didn’t know he’d written a YA! I’ll take a look, though Hiaasen isn’t one of my usual reads, either. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

You’ve got me wanting to read her books! I like the sound of this one but I’m guessing I should probably start at the beginning of the series.

You don’t have to, but it helps. As much as I like these, though, I think I like her Virgin River series even better.

I haven’t heard of this book. I hope you like it!
