It is always a pleasure to return to Virgin River! I was so happy to see there was another installment in the series. For some reason, I thought she was done with this series, but I for one, was not. I love this series and the characters. It is always nice to get a glimpse into their lives and see how they have grown and changed over the years. There is great character development in this book.
After her mother’s death, Kaylee Sloan has decided to get away and finish writing her novel. She hopes a new quiet setting will be just what she needs to write. After driving up and finding the home she has rented in flames, she walks into Jack’s bar and is welcomed by Jack and other familiar characters.
Eventually she finds a place to rent, adopts a kitten and rescues a dog with puppies (there is never a dull moment in Virgin River). Her new landlord is welcoming and while, dealing with issues of his own, helps Kaylee with hers.
I read this book in one day and wish I would have read it slower but I was so happy to be back in Virgin River with some of my favorite characters that I couldn’t help myself. As with the previous books in the series, the regulars are in this. This book picks up a couple of years after the last book, so you will learn who has expanded their family, who is still together, etc.
I love the sense of community in this book, as well as every book in the series. Robyn Carr has created a great series. Yes, these books are romance, but these books area also about community, family, friendship, gratitude, food, and to some degree, food.
Will this book work as a stand-alone? Yes, I think it would work nicely as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading this from the beginning. I have some of the books in this series in one day.
Fans of the Virgin River series will be incredibly pleased with this book. I have my fingers crossed that there will be another book. Please, please, please, write more Robyn Carr!!
