A review by xakyr
The Newcomer by Robyn Carr

2.0

This is a book I was on the fence about, but after reading it, I've made my decision about the series. To me, this book focuses too much on the relationship from the previous book than the relationship that should have been its focus: Mac and Gina's. It was very confusing to me and I kept having to flip flop through chapters to pick up the thread of what happened with each couple when something good was happening! There is a lot of emotional angst and drama in this book, and I think the book suffers for it because it drew the focus away from the romance between the two couples. There is also a decided lack of trust on Sarah and Cooper's part that made things unnecessarily difficult. The book once again ends on a slight slight cliffhanger, leaving readers to wonder if one of the characters introduced has a romantic relationship with another female character introduced in the book. I’m giving this one 2 stars and won’t be continuing with the series. The flip flopping was just too much for me, and it makes me worried for trying to read Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove series!
