Ratings and reviews

Carr once again returns to Virgin River with a tale that will melt your heart and have you falling in love. The breathtaking scenery enhances the emotionally turbulent tale, transporting you to the outskirts of Virgin River. This tale tackles some emotionally hard hitting topics, without cutting corners. At the same time, love and friendship shine through creating a whole that I couldn’t look away from. I thoroughly enjoy how Carr portrays her ex-military men. The aura surrounding them as well as their take on life is great and so realistic, showing these alpha males as they truly are. The main characters in this novel at first struck me as an odd pair, but I absolutely love the way that it turned out. Marcie’s strength tempered Ian’s subtle faltering. I loved the way that their emotions played across the page. I will admit that there were more than a few times when I couldn’t tolerate Erin. Although one can understand where she’s coming from, she takes the overprotectiveness to the point of controlling, taking away choices from her siblings. I cheered out loud when Marcie finally stood up to her. And for those of us who enjoy audiobooks as well, I’ve read the print version and listened to the audio book. The narrator for the audio version really brings this tale to life. It’s a fantastic experience.

Awesome.....heart warming, heart breaking and everything in between!

Heartwarming!
