VIRGIN RIVER by Robyn Carr

I've heard a lot of good things about Miss Robyn Carr on Facebook and I just had to go and check out her books for myself.  When I arrived at my local bookstore, there were so many of her books to choose from I just did not know where to start, so obviously I chose to start from the beginning.  Let me start out by saying, there is something in the water in Virgin River.

When suffering from grief, the thing that you will need the most is your family and friends around you to help you through your pain, but not Melinda Monroe.

Wanting to start all over in a new environment the first thing she did was sell everything of importance, packed up everything that she needed and moved to the middle of nowhere where no one knows her and won't ask her uncomfortable questions.  

How she came to the middle of no-where you may ask?  She answered an ad that said:


Wanted: Midwife/nurse practitioner in Virgin River, population six hundred.  Make a difference against a backdrop of towering California redwoods and crystal-clear rivers.  Rent-free cabin included.

Thinking this was the answer to her prays, Melissa packed up and moved to Virgin River and instantly regretted her rash decision.  The cabin is inhabitable and the doctor wants nothing to do with her; not to mention that she almost dies getting to Virgin River, okay I exaggerated about the dying part but the rest is true.

After realizing that this was a huge mistake, Melissa wanted nothing more than to dive back into her car and never look back, but after she discovered a baby abandoned on a front porch, her nursing instincts took over and duty convinced Melissa to stay until the abandoned baby situation was taken care of.

Of course another reason was Jack Sheridan, a former marine that she can't seem to get out of her mind. It does not help that he fills her empty soul with longing, and with the longing comes a guilt so big that it seems to consume her.

Robyn Carr wrote a roller-coaster of a book that had me wondering what's going to happen next.  there was a part of the book that I thought was dragging but the book picked up and stayed up. 

I do not like that at the blurb at the back of the book mentioned that their was an abandoned baby involved because it had me wanting Melissa to find the baby, and when it did not happen right away, I was just anxious to know when it was going to happen and how.

This is the type of book that would throw some situations at you that you would not expect and when you think everything is over, another curve ball is thrown right at you, happy reading everyone.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can.

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
