3.5 rounded up Probably my least favorite out of the series. We were thrown a couple new characters I didn’t feel invested in and not a whole happened with the community. I still enjoyed it and there’s some important moments imperative to the series but overall i wasn’t in love like the others
3.5/5 I didn't enjoy this one as much as I have some of the others, which I am a bit disappointed by given that the main characters are different from all the other we have seen before.

I really loved this story. I appreciate Robyn Carr veering off from her usual former military hero trope. Not that I don't love those former military men in her books, I really do. I just enjoyed a different change of pace.
One of the things I like about the Virgin River series is that, in most cases, there aren't a lot of silly misunderstandings. If there is one, it's only one per book and it is resolved without everyone losing face. Of course there was a pretty big blowup in this one, but Carr had another character point out how stupid the character was being for acting like a child. I'm so glad because I was about to start disliking the character even though I knew there was a deeper reason for the reaction.
This book had a lot of side stories. I know all of the books in the series have side stories, but I somehow felt these were bigger side stories than usual. Not that I'm complaining. Actually, quite the opposite. I am thoroughly intrigued about all of them and can't wait to read more!

It is that time of the year again to return to my favorite small town, Virgin River. This entire series is a delight and I am so glad Ms Carr continues to write more books in this series :) This time around we meet a couple of new characters, Clay Tahoma and Lily Yazhi. Clay has come to Virgin River to work with Nate and Annie (That Holiday Feeling) as a vet assistant and he meets the feed delivery woman, Lily. They are instantly attracted to each, and not just because they are both of Native American, though rival tribes, descent but also for their love of horses.
Clay is coming away from a divorce that he just can't quite break off completely and Lily has a troubled past from when she was just fifteen that has made her very cautious with men. She takes very good care of her grandfather and really only seems to have her best gay friend Dean. I hope we get to see a bit more of Dean because he had one of the most laugh out loud moments for me in this book! Lily finds an abandoned horse and calls on Nate and Clay to help her and Lily remembers her deep love she had for riding and slowly starts to visit the stables everyday to see her....and Clay. Clay is patient with her, and thankfully, the enemy tribe situation is just something they laugh at and is not a problem for them, or really anyone in the extended family. They continue to bond over horses and life and when they take it to the next level, whew....pretty steamy and passionate this time around! Of course we have to have a big misunderstanding to work thorough and that comes in the form of Clays ex wife who just can not let go. Oh but the ending is so sweet it brought tears to me eyes! It was a perfect ending to this book!
Some of the side stories this time around involve Jack, Mel, and Hope and how the town reacts to a situation which really disappoints Jack. We also get to see some more of the yummy Riordan brothers after Colin has an accident and who is featured in the next story, Wild Man Creek and I can not wait to read that one! Is it necessary to read the previous books? Well...no...but should you, yes! This entire series is a wonderful story of what we can all hope a small town could be like. But for this story, I give it a solid 4 stars, a great addition to the series!
