pleasantly_yours's review

This is the first book I’ve read from this author so maybe this is normal but why are these other characters getting POVs? They have nothing to do with Preacher’s and Paige’s story and it’s annoying when it flips to them. Personally, I found the story boring less than half way through. At around 40%-45% of the book I felt like book should have been ending but it didn’t.

Really enjoying the Virgin River series - this one is Paige and Preacher's story, and the books and show are really very different so it doesn't feel like just reading the same thing I already watched! They are a quick read, romance novels for sure but quite well written and the world of Virgin River is a wonderful place to escape too. I appreciate that each book focuses on a different couple (so far) but includes the same surrounding cast.

Due to very unrealistic themes in the book I gave it a lower rating than it couldve given it as it really bothered me. Without giving spoilers I will just say that trauma isnt washed away by the single touch of a loved one, and it isnt even romantic to portray it as such. I did love the rest of this book though and I will read the next to see if this series regains it previous strenght.

This was an emotional ride. I sat in my car reading this while my husband was in a Dr. Appointment. I am grateful that no one witnessed me crying alone in a car.
