The Homecoming is the sixth book in the Thunder Point Series by Robyn Carr.   Best friends since the age of four, Seth Sileski and Iris McKinley had a falling out their senior year of high school. Although Seth left Thunder Point for bigger and better things, life doesn't always turn out as expected. It's been 15 years since they have seen each other, Iris is now a high school guidance counselor, and Seth is the new town deputy.  Seth has never forgotten Iris and wants her back in his life, and his plan is to wear her down until she comes around to his way of thinking.
I really enjoy the three series by Robyn Carr: Grace Valley, Virgin River (spin off of Grace Valley) and Thunder Point (spin off of Virgin River).  Unlike most of the books in the Virgin River and Thunder Point series, you haven't really gotten a chance to get to know these two characters from previous books.   Usually there are characters in the books that you say to yourself,  "Oh, I can't wait for his or her story to be written."  So maybe this is why I am feeling kind of ho hum about this one.  Regardless, Seth and Iris are a really cute couple, but now I'm saying to myself, "Oh, I can't wait for Grace and Troy's story."  It's called One Wish and is coming out in February 2015
