There were too many characters when all I want is Franci and Sean. Skipped many pages.

I started reading the Virgin River books 18 months ago, and got to this one and put it down at 21%, I guess at the time I got bored with them, which disppointed me greatly as I went a bit crazy and bought all of the series in the sale (something that I never ever do,lol). Anyway I said to myself, come on, you’ve bought them now read them, which I’m very glad to say I’m so glad I got back to reading them. Robyn Carr has a way with words and her characters, little Rosie was adorable.

Looking forward to reading the rest, but I think these are the kind of books I personally will need to go through slowly to appreciate them.

I found this difficult to get into compared to normal Virgin River books.

So the Riordan brothers are going to get their own books. Luke was the first. It is Sean's turn now. A second chance at making things right between Sean and Franci. Of course, as in the past couple of books there were other stories within the main one and that was all right. I enjoyed it just the same. Dan and Cheryl most likely are going to get their story told at some point. Maureen, Sean's mum, might get hers.

However, whenever there's a 'supposedly practising' (Maureen in this case) Catholic in some of the books I've read, not only Ms Carr's, there is a need to have said Catholic 'change' his or her beliefs. Maureen was portrayed as an uptight, straight-laced practising Catholic so the only way she cold find her HEA was to 'get over' her beliefs. Why can't a Catholic be true to their faith in fiction? It just bugs me a bit.

I went back to Virgin River for the first time in early January 2024 and it is always such a warm and happy place to be. 

In Angel's Peak we see another Reardon man discover that running from love and commitment isn't all it is cracked up to be, especially after bumping into his long time love who he hasn't seen in 4 years. She is hiding a secret from him as well. An adorable daughter that she never told him about. 

This book in the Virgin River series focused a lot on the newer character, which was nice. we visited some older ones but it allowed for a lot of character growth. Once again a lovely read.
