This was great! My faith in Virgin River is restored once again. Luke is gorgeous and Shelby has the right amount of pluck and vulnerability to endear her to the reader - and to Luke of course. I loved almost everything about this book, especially the family relationships between Luke and his ro...

Now she wants a seasonal job picking apples at the Cavanaugh orchard. Her family needs the money badly ...
Another homerun by Robyn Carr. Usually when she keeps the regular Virgin River residents too far on the outside of the story I don't like the story as much, but this book was an exception to that rule. We still see Jack, Mel, Preacher and a few of the others. Just not very often and they are n...
This was an excellent book. Loved Becca and Denny. They'd been a couple long ago in what seemed like another life time. Denny broke her heart but when he tried to explain, she sent him away. Now she has a chance to see him again and she can't pass it up. Will they be able to sort through their di...
I loved the Virgin River series that the author did and at first believed these books ("The Wanderer" and "The Newcomer") were a part of the series they aren't. Fortunately they still tie in while I think we will be seeing more character crossings as the series progresses. Honestly I thought this...
How I loved this story. Although there were plenty of people trying to tell Paddy and Angie what they SHOULD be doing and how they SHOULD feel, there were plenty of others in Virgin River that just smiled and let them find their own way. And that's exactly what they needed.I haven't been throug...
The Hero. Book 3 of the Thunder Point series. This wonderful story was full of heroes. Heroes here. Heroes there. It was awesome. It was overflowing with Heroes. So much so in fact, one of the heroes stories slipped over into the next book of the series. A terrific read. So much going on. The bo...

In Puerto Rico, when someone is superlatively good in something, we call them a monster in what they do. Well, Robyn Carr is a monster in writing women's fiction. This book was just sublime! Four women, neighbors in an upper crust neighboorhood, have varying marital problems. Three of them walk e...
Book 18 in The Virgin River Series is another good read. I continue to enjoy this series, but lament the fact that I am nearing the end. I think there are only 20 books in the series! In this book a romance develops between Virgin River newcomer Katie Malone and former child star, Dylan Childre...

This novel was definitely a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Carr develops her scenery in vivid clarity, allowing you to enter the story alongside her characters, while at the same time telling a unique and intriguing tale that definitely had me thinking. This is not a fast paced story, but ...
My sister recommended "A Summer in Sonoma" as a good chick flick read, ideal for a summer escapism book. In a single word, predictable. Four long-time female friends in their early thirties, each with a different angst - single looking for love from all the wrong men, career woman facing recurrin...
Funny thing is I smelled apple throughout my reading LOL Okay, I didn't expect it to be this good, rarely heard the main characters in the previous books. Both of them made small appearances here and there, that's all. Anyway, I think the ending is a bit rushed considering their relationship buil...
Like pretty much all Mills and Boon novels, it did what it said on the pack. There are three novellas in this, Midnight Confessions by Robyn Carr, Midnight Surrender by Jean Brashear and Midnight assignment by Victoria Dahl. The front cover announced Carr's name in big letters, so I'm assuming sh...
I came to this a Virgin River virgin... but I will probably be reading ALL the books.Conner Danson is a decent guy who had the bad luck to be the only witness to a murder, and worse luck that the murderer has enough connections to burn down the family hardware store and threaten his life and that...
I don't know if I enjoyed this installment of the Virgin River series so much because I've been on a waiting list for so long to get the book or because I adored the character of Luke. Being not much older than him, I can't help but be sympathetic to his fear of getting involved with a woman in ...

Given that this book is only loosely related to the Virgin River series, I debated skipping over it. But since it was so cheap on Kindle, I decided to buy it even if I didn't have terribly high expectations. The reviews for this novella are pretty mixed, but I ended up really enjoying it. For suc...
Yes, this series is sappy and predictable....but they make for a fun, mindless read. if you like suspense and true love than you will like this book and any other books in the series.
I enjoyed the book. I enjoy all of Virgin Rivers. They don't get old. Read this book out of sequence but it was fine. Enjoyed the characters. Great author.
Another good Virgin River romance My absolute favorite book thus far in the series!

It was great and exactly what I was looking for for comfort.

What a uniquely priceless premise for a novel. It`s not something I could have dreamt up in my wildest dreams but Carr definitely makes it work.

Not my fav VR book. It took the Author quite awhile to develop the new characters and too long to bring in old characters to the story. The storylines seamed too disconnected from each other. I wasn't a huge fan of Lilly's character. She seamed way younger than she was supposed to be so it made h...
