Robyn Carr really can't do wrong with this series. Even when a book doesn't entirely work for me, like this one didn't, it's still a good book. I may not have thoroughly enjoyed this book, but it was still very readable and not one I minded reading. Series Note: Part of Carr's "Virgin River" series (13 full books, plus several novellas). I would say you may be able to get by just reading this one, but there's a lot of history worth knowing. So if you have the time and the desire, I'd suggest starting at the beginning. It's well worth it! Summary: Kelly Matlock (sister of last book's heroine, Jillian), is a sous chef at a 5-star San Francisco restaurant, hoping to one day be a head chef somewhere, when her life suddenly falls apart. In order to escape the stress, Kelly packs up and travels to Virgin River, the town her sister has recently made home. Kelly plans to take some time to relax and kick back before deciding what she wants to do next in her life. It isn't long before she meets script writer Leif Holbrook. Leif moved to Virgin River a few months earlier in order to give his troubled stepdaughter a better life. Young Courtney has had a lot of emotional upheaval in her life and she's responded by acting out in any way she can. Dealing with her is Leif's only goal. He has no intention of getting involved with a woman, but once he meets Kelly he has to rethink that. He's thoroughly intrigued by her. Whatever they start is only temporary...at least that's what they tell themselves. Kelly has a life to restart and Leif has a teenage girl to be a father too. Even when things start to get serious, Kelly wonders if there could ever be a place in Leif's life because of Courtney. The two have a lot blocking their way if they want to consider a permanent relationship. Review: I love this series and I always look forward to a new book from it. But I have to admit I put off reading this one for a while. I knew that Leif's daughter Courtney was going to play a large role in the story and that made me wary. I'm not big on stories where kids play a large role and I had a feeling Courtney would be a big part of this story. And she was. I can't say that Robyn Carr was wrong for doing the story that way. It was a very appropriate and fitting storyline, something a bit different than the other VR books. At the same time, it's just not a storyline that appeals to me all that much. While having kids in a story may be more realistic, I prefer the focus to be on the H/H and the romance. That's just the way I am. So that part of the story was a bit of a turn-off for me. Though not as much as I thought it would be. Courtney wasn't as obnoxious as expected coming into the story, and what she's been through is heartbreaking. It was a very workable and very well-done aspect of the story, even if it didn't thoroughly engage me. It did, however, take away from the romance of the story. I wanted so much more out of the relationship between Kelly in Leif. There was a definite connection between these two, but development of the romance was lacking. Things progress very quickly between the two. It's like the meet, hang out a bit, and suddenly they are inseparable and having feelings of love. It was rather sudden and didn't quite work. The worst part, though, was that there was a lot of "telling" instead of "showing"...it felt like instead of getting to experience the growing relationship between these two first hand, you got a lot of recapping events that happen off the page, a lot of references instead of getting to actually read them. I didn't care for that and it takes away something from the romance, you don't really get to connect with it. Add to that an ending (the romantic resolution) that seemed somewhat abrupt and on the whole the romance could have been better. Another thing that bugged me a little was that the romance type was too similar to the one in the last book (Kelly's sister's book). A temporary fling turns to more but both still plan to move on and get back to their real lives. They really mirror each other. And maybe that was intentional because the two characters are sisters, but I would have liked something a bit different. The story was still pretty sweet, though. There may have been things I didn't like about the book, things I wished were done better, but it was still a very readable story. Robyn Carr would have to write a real stinker for me to hate one of her books. I didn't really mind this one...it's still a very classic VR story...I just wanted something different. But for getting your VR fix, it works. You get the town, the people, the characters we love, and a sweet story that gives you warm fuzzy feelings. I think VR fans will appreciate the story.
